elongated orange colored light extending East to West was observed

out in a burst of bright orange light still retaining its globular

Your latter of mid-Septamber to the Hydrographer, U.B.
Navy Hydrographie offies, bas been referred to this Office
by the Mational Aeronauties and Space Administration.
Your excellent eighting report of an umkmous object
13 September 1961, was coneluded to be a Msa experimental
rocket launching from Mellops Island, Virginia, which released
sodium material considarably higher than a loo miles above
the earthe The chemical released wes risible for some
distance in the Atlantic Ocean, up and down the Atlantie
Seabcard and as far inland as areas of the Mid-western U.S.

This date at epproximately 4/35 A.M. the undersigned busband and vife observed t ho
folloving un-known object in space.
Location/ Approximately )-35 degrees above earth. Position/ North, North East, and
South West ef the star commonly refered to as the morning star.
Witness Location/ Their residence, above eddress.
Both vitness agree the cbject appeared as to the following description.
Suddenly a dark red or orange colored sphere eppeared, the circumference being about
that of a basketball, and seemed to be stationery for some (Io) seccnds, then there
appeared to be an explosion and the fire-ball increased its circumference to that of
a good sized farm wegon wheel, then the perfectly round sphere vas greatly cbscure by
a foggy or smokey cloud.
With this phase of action the fire mass seemed to rise into the upper stratosohere
and disappeared into the upper heavens leaving a radating orange color of illuminant
light that spread hundreds of feet beyond the core of the firey mass.
Rail and motor traffic noise seemed to have gone under ground in expectation of this
happening several minutes before and after the sighting, ar his favorable quite
period of natural city noise we vere able to realize there wes n explosion,whine or
motor exhaust noise coming from this object that suddenly appeared and vanished vith
un-believeable speed.
Shortly after the sphere vanished there was a strong odor in the air as that which is
common to smouldering coke or char-coal, the same guickly cleared from the air.

It was concluded that the object of this sighting was a NASA

which released sodium material considerably higher than l00 miles
above the earth. The chemical released was visible  for some
