outside appeared at ap roxtiantely 30 deg area and at the samd el
above the horison. Moved slightly Bast. elevation , yet disappeared behind
trees. In spite this inconsistancy
Apceared to be going away from observer. it,is probable th t a light was reflecthd
Faded in distance and disappeared behind Faded In distanee and disappeared behind tre S. tre s. from the intebse subsidence and radiatibn from the intehse subsidence and radiatibn
