Analysis and Conclusions: fhe description of the object is similar to that
of a meteor, however, the duration is excessive. It is possible that the

object was an aircraft which was reflecting ground lights. However, the
information reported is not sufficient for the formation of a valid conclusion.

Time probably includes afterglow of burst. Multiple report of Bol ide in
areae All reports are about the same time and object moving in a Northerly
direction, So, this report added to the other reports of this particular

Meteor.

Rishmond, Indiana
July 31,1961

Wright-vatterson Air Force Base
Dept. of Unidentified Flying Objects

Dayton, Ohio

Gentlemen:
Information: Unidentified flying object

Since I understand that you are interested in all reports
of unidentified flying objects, I wish to inquire if you
have a record of any seen about 7:30 P.M., E. Se Te on
March 2, 1961, visible from Richmond, Indiana.

I first noticed this green-white light heading north, bat
quite low at perhaps 20° above the horizon in a direction

about South 20° East from my residence, approximately 3 miles
east of center of Richmond, Indiana.

It had a long luminous trail behind it but was not "sparkling
off" like "shooting stars" or meteorites appear to. Also, it
did not appear to have as much speed. I called the other
members of my family to lbok out my east bedroom window where
they easily pigked it up and watched it disappear at perhaps
30° above our, horizon still pursuing what I would call a

very much northerly path. In all, I would judge that I was
able to watch it for a tetal time of perhaps 20 seconds.

My thought at the moment was, "That must be the vehicle of
Russia's latest sputnik” which was reported due to burn about

that time.
/

If you have any information on this incident, I'd very much
like to compare notes with yon.

All “statistics” are from recollection ani not actually
measured. j

‘Sincerely,

4 ;

it contained sufficient
information explained in a manner which contributed immeasurably to the

successful enalysis.
Thank you for your interest in this matter.
Sincerely
