was less than five degrees, for the thirity dorcrees reported by
the witnesses. It is the FTD opinion that witnesses eatimte of
the elevation was in error for they indicated that the object passed
behind a mountain peak and as far as can be determined the nearest
noumtain peaks have elevations les3 than five dogrees when measured
from Eallett Station. is probable that a strong inversion was
present in the area at the time of the Bighting and that mirage effects
contributed to the sighting.
