10, BRIEF SUMMARY OF SIGHTING

Luminous object looked like vapor trail and
remained visible for almost 30 min. Forward

end particles appeared to spiral down. It was
described as mirror bright.

11. COMMENTS

Information reported is insufficient for
a positive identification of tha object.
However, the Sola Observatory at Harestue

caused by cosmic dust entering the atmos
phere.

ATIC FORM 329 (REV 26 SEP 52)

identified the phenomena as luminant clowis
