I am amused by the matter of the UFO report. It so happens
that on the evening in question I was out looking for Sputnik II
with a friend of mine who works for the government We did not
see the Sputnik, because it passed over earlier than the predicted
time, but I was rather startled to observe a stellar-like object,
which appeared in the northeast at an altitude of about 30° and
moved very rapidly, in about three or four seconds, in rather flat rapidly, in about three or fou; in rather flat
trajectory across the sky before it across the sky before it disappeared almost directly in disappeare directly in
the west. I commented that because of its speed ane of its s direction, the rection, the
object could not be the Sputnik. object could not be the Sputnik. I had also had also never seen a meteor never seen a meteor
with such a long path, at least with such a long path, at considering its relatively low
brightness of about the first magnitude. My friend insisted that
it ought to be reported and hence it ought to be reported and It probably was a meteor. probably was a meteor.
