Red when first sighted, then turned silver. sightings, many of them without substansi-
ation. In this instance he indicates there
were other witnesses, but we have no infb
of the impressions of the individuals.
Due to subsequent cases reported by this
witness it is concluded that the objts
which he viewed were probably refracted
