COMMENTS (Jn narrative atyle, expand on your evaluation as checked above. Your commenta, Auidance and helpful criticism are
appreciated hy collectors. Carefully prepared and detailed Fvaluation Records will improve the quality of reporting and

provide you with intelligence information of higher quality.) _

Toe information supplicd in this report is very limited. However, the facts

which are included point very strongly toward the object, sighted by the various

witnesaes, being a fircbakl. A fireball is a meteor of wiusual size am brilliance

(brighter than «3 magnitude). Another characteristic of fireballs consistent wita

the report is the possibility of color change during flight, white, blua, Ereon,

_@pange, red, yellow, pink ond purple being the normal color rangee Fireballs are rare |

in oscurence and follow no set pattern. It is unusual for an individual to avo more

than one or two in w lifetime. Tho fact that a sighting is usually oe first experience

_fLor the observer accounts for their startling effect. The limited information in the

report mikes the Barrios case unexplainable. It is believed that were ndditional data

available a suitable explanation could be mide. Spocifie information missing fran

the consolidated report of the CIOVI (Center for Investigating Unidontifiei Flying

_Objects) inoludes such data as direction of motion, elevation end duration of obscre

vation. Inapecting Mr a individual report there seens to be some discrepancy
_in time, the first half of the report indicates 2030 and the last portion 1430.

_Conslusion « The wi*esses in all instances, except possibly the Barrios’ 1430
