fhere are presently two possibilities in my mind, a jet after |
burner or a bolide...but until we cet as full as possible a report, |
they can only be conjecture. |

I am also inclosing an extra form in case you can contact
someone else who also saw the same thing you Saw.

Thank you very much. When we get an answer, I'll be happy to
let you imow the results.
