10, BRIEF SUMMARY OF SIGHTING

Several objects described as ball of
fire at first believed to be meteors
but as they seemed to go into forma-
discounted,
disappeared behind a hill and on
reappearance they seemed to be doing
stunts at speeds of 2000-3000 mph,

tion this idea was

very high.

TO: Commander, Air Technical Intelligence Center, ATTN: AFOIN-)E,
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, Ohio

1. Forwarded for your information and action deemed necessary,

2. A check with ADC Weather revealed the following information
concerning cloud cover and visibility in the area of the sighting at
the time of the sighting:

a. Scattered clouds (less than 5/10 coverage) at 3,000 feet,
b. Scattered clouds (less than 5/10 coverage) at 10,000 feet,
¢. Broken clouds (more than 5/10 coverage) at 30,000 feet.

ad. Cumlus cloud build up to the east. |

ee Fifteen mile visibility. |

3. It is the opinion of this headquarters that this sighting was
possibly caused by searchlights in the San Antonio, Texas area (thirty-
five miles southezst of Bandera, Texas), Note that the objects appeared
to be low and scutheast of the observers, The colors, speeds and re-
volving motion would substantiate the above hypothesis.

h. No further action is contemplated by this organization.
