Dear Mr. Qs
Will you please fill out the inclosec form and return it for
evaluation? In addition to the -uestions on the form would you please
provide us answers to the following:
le How was the 25 second time determined?
2. Was the duration the same for all sightings?
3- What was the approximate mmber of times the object was
observed to flash?
Your cooperation will be appreciated and will aid inmensely in the
evaluation of your sighting.
Many factors such as altituce, cirection of movement as related to
wind directions, temperature, humidity, cloud cover, background noise,
etc., all have a direct bearing on whether or not noise from an aircraft
can be heard.
| When considering the possibility of a sighting being a satellite,
one must remember that satellites cress specific parallels of latitude
| at the same angle when moving South to North, and the supplement of that
angle when moving North to South. This serves to point up the necessity
for accurate tracking.
Thank you for your effort and interest.
