This may be a waste of time, nevertheless, I I shall report what I
have seen with the hopes that I may fi nd a logical xplanation.
Last evening. August 30 at a few minutes until nine 'clock P.M.
I saw an orange Iight of about sthe intensity star aris, al-
most due west of here at an elevation of twenty degrees he hori-
zon. Since I was on the look out for the passing of our telite, Echo,
I naturally observed whether or not I could detect any movement. There
was, and I called my son who had left the room to check the time by the
imately 8:5 hat fly-
ing balloon aptu ign sgular movements

was heard and the light was steady and of Its fading

Your explanation will be appreciated by me, and I Your explanation will be appreciated by me, and I hope that hope that this
report may serve in some way to clear up the report may serve in some way to clear "a Leged" ged" mysteries of un-
