Observer was inside a building, and saw
the object at 69-70° elevation, a probabl
overestimation of about 35°. In the 4 min
it was in sight, the object disappeared
off and on, moved at various speeds and
circled. The information is too general
Tor a valid conclusion. The witnesses er
Students, therefore difficult to contact
for the purpose of getting more informa-
tion. There is insufficient data in the
2port for a conclusion. Possibility of
light reflection.

10, BRIEF SUMMARY SF SIGHTING

Bright white light which moved at various
speeds and then would circle and go away.
Appeared 270°T, 60-70° fm horizon, disappeared
