Dear Mrs.
This is in reply to your report of an aerial object which
you could not identify in 19él.
The object or phenomena which you observed is similar to an
observation of a sun dog. If the object appeared stationary or
appeared to float around in the same general location for a
considerable portion of the 4-5 mimutes during which it was
observed and the disappearance over the horizon was a matter of
seconds, then the object was in all probability sun dog.
Disappearance in this manner could be attributed to dissipation
of the ice layer retlecting the sun. Sun dogs appear between
tventy and twenty-five degrees from the sun. Your report places

1. This office is in receipt of an unidentified flying object
report from Mrs Kemah, Texas of
two objects which she observed in the spring of l96l. Please
apologize for the delay in replying.
2. The observation of the white spider-like material was in all
probability spider webs fron migratory or ballooning s spiders.
For an account of sinilar incidents it is suggested that she read
"The World of Flying Saucers" by Doctors Boyd and Menzel. There
are quite a few reports of these observations on file at Project
Blue Book. Blue Book.
3. We have screened the files at Project Blue Book and apparently
were no report emah, Tex as oring of 1961.
4. The object phenomena which she observed is similar to an
observation of a sun dog with the exception of the motions and
disappearance over the horizon. If the object appeared stationary,
or appeared to float around in the same general location, for a
considerable portion of the 4-5 minutes during which it was observed
and the disappearance ver the horizon was matter of seconds, then ..
the object was in all probability a sun dog. Disappearance in this
manner could be attributed dissipation of e layer reflecting .
the sun. Sun dogs appear between twenty and twenty-fi from
the sun. Her report places this object at that approximate position.
Again, if the motion conforms with the above, then her. sighting can be
evaluated
