as
of a statement by Mr. Gia
er in these flying qd
objects and I have
been quite a pessimist until I saw this. Deseription of the object:
The lonest I could come to tne description, it was like an old fashioned
kite. It looked like it had bars instead of being solid, more like
@ series of balls. It was more the size of a lima bean, It appeared
to be quite a distance away. The color was about the same as a star,
more gold than blue. Appeared to be just one. It had somewhat the
contour of an old fas site besa >, saw nothing like an exhaust or
bail. Description of cours As I looked out the window, Looking
north, it through an are about 909° just above the horizon in
a matter of a few seconds.
Who called your attention to it: My wife
called my attention to it, No reflection on the glass. It moved in
a horizontal line and then it went vertically. It reversed through
en angle of about 30°. As I stood and looked out the window I could
lock straight at it. It tracked straight across from right to left
throush an are of about 90° and suddenly stopped, f% disappeared
for a few seconds and = ee went back into the direction that it had
come. it eventually d Poen Tt just a an out. How long
was it visible? Saw it about 3/4 of 2 minut Did you have optical
aid? No optical aid. Tine. an weather teak hint Quarter Lo four,
night time, clear and cold. When first saw it, it was north then
northwest, "
