1. An analysis of the attached UFO message reveals the following
possibilities:
The reported anomolous propagation in the aree could possibly
be responsible for the unidentified radar pick up, particularly if a
severe temperature inversion existed and permanent echoes on the radar
were predominant.

the UFO could possibly be a balloon.
2. The lack of information on this UFO makes a more detailed and thorough
analysis impossible.
