Our company possesses a guest house on a mountain top Southwest of Carlisle.

A number of us were holding a meeting Tuesday Evening, August 8. It was
warm and we were sitting on an uncovered veranda.

At two minutes of ten we noted a bright light overhead longitudinally but
a few degrees Northwest latitudinally. It moved in an East by North
Qirection. At five minutes after ten it disappeared behind the tree tops.

r eeh

ihe night was clear,

D sta e plainly visible. The North star provided a
sense of direction. The

Ss wer
light was brighter than any star.

As we followed the course of the light it seemed to move a bit erratically
from side to side and on a few occasions seemed to jump ahead. Though all
of us observed these variable movements, I recognize they could be attrib-
uted to atmospheric conditions or eye concentration.

I nave been at a loss as to whether to report this and, if so, to whom.
I would like to assure you that the light observed was not an airplane.

With the sky so full of "exotic objects" one hesitates to report any
observation today.

Sincerely yours,
