Witness stated that objt appeared ,like a large Star, except that it changed colors. Objt
remained in same area all during observation, ahd witnesses went out about an hours later
ito see i it could be seen, ani it wal still thpr. Characteristies of objt are similar to
an astronomical body, such as a star or planet. Very an astronomical body, such as star or planet. Very bright ster Sirius was to W of wit- bright star Siriu was to W of wit-
nesses lccation at about lo elev. However, beifg so nesses lccation at about lo el . However, beibg so close to horizon i close to horizon it would appear to
be higher that it actually was. There be higher that it actually was. There were othef bright were othef bright stars tc Sa; however, they stars to ;hovever, they were were
