The following inform? provided to assist you in replying to the
attached letter frou

1. On March 23 we received a letter trom QBN statin;
that he had observed an wnidontified flying coject cver the Bronx,
Rew York. The object was cval in skape and bad white smoke trailing
behind, It was observed for five mimites, yet the speed was described
as very zast.

2. Cm March 25 ve received a letter from SQ vho ob-
served the same peencmena from his schoolyard while eating lumch. [Eis
information was essentially the same except that the duration was twenty
mimstes and fifteen seconds. was sure cf the duration although
he did not state how this was det -) QD only cdserved the
smoke and not the cdject. About five hours later he observed fire
engin} soing toward the spot where the smoke endod.

3. This case was evaluated as an aircraft sighting with contrail.
With the great amount cf air traffic in the New York area and the delay
in receiving the complete informtion, it is not possible to deteruine
which specific aircraft had caused the comtrail. However, the duration
of the sighting is evaluated within the speed cf both conventicnal and
jet aircraft for the distance covered by the cdject. The description
by beth witnesses conforms to this analysis.

4. There is no association between the sighting and the appear-
ance of the fire engine five hours later. Had an aircraft crashed,
fire fighting equimmect would certainly have been dispatched from a
nearby location and mich sooner than vithin five howrs after the
occurance. Also a crash of this nature would undoubtedly have attracted
wide publicity.

Other UAO Sightings ~
In Antarctica

A report sent from the SANAE base,
from the South African Antarctic Nation-
al Expedition, and printed in the bulle-
tin “Antarctic,” published by the New
Zealand Antarctic Society, informed that
at 20:07 hours GMT on March 18, 1962,
a very bright luminous object had been
sighted northeast of that station—which
Is located on the Antarctic coast latitude
70 degrees. The object moved from east
to north at small elevation over the hori-
zon, remaining in sight for only 10 sec-
onds.

In the same number of the publica-
tion Listed above there is the report of
another observation made at Hallett
base (on a different date). That base
is a post controlled by USA and New
Zeaiand and located on the Antarctic
coast exactly on the opposite side of the
SANAE base (through the South Pole).
According to a radiogram signed by
Claud Taylor, base commander, an ob-
ject appeared over the region on July

_7, 1982, at 11:10 GMT, crossing in 3 to

4 iminutes the horizon in a south-north

direction. That object showed three dif-

ferent parts sharply separated, one of

of long exposure, showed a luminous
tra: crossing the whole sky. According

to Dr. M. Gadsen, a scientist who was
at Hallett base, the nature of the object
could not be established baceuse it was
not a meteor and there was no informa-
tion on the fall of a satellite in that re-
gion on that occasion.

them much more luminous that the two
others. A kind of “gray shape” could
be seen around the three bright pafts,
which the observers interpreted to be
a “possible condensation trail.”

When the object was north of the
base it emitted a sudden finsh of light
without any change of orbit or shape.
No sound was heard. The report also
states that the object appeared to be well
inside the atmosphere and certainly be-
low the level of the austral aurora.

The most important fact of the Hal-
lett Dese Observation was that the ob-
ject’s passage was registered by a spe-
cial photegraphie instrument called “all
sky camera,” used for the study of polar
auroras. This instrument has a semi-
spherical mirror which makes possible
photographs of the whole sky at fre-
quent intervals.

According to information released by
the New Zealand Scientific and Indus-
trial Research Department, the colour
photos obtained confirmed the visual ob-
servation of the UAO. One of the photos
ef Teng exposure, showed a luminous
trail crossing the whole sky. According
to Pr. M. Gadsen, a scientist who was
lett base, the nature of the object
cou'd not be established baceuse it was
not a meteor and there was no informa-
tion on the fall of a satellite in that re
gion on that occasion.
