20. Draw a picture that wil! show the motion that the object or objects made. Place an ‘*A” at the beginning of
the path,:o ''B’’ at the end of the path, and show any changes in direction during the course.

How large did the object appear to you as compored to an object with which you are familiar?

22. We wish to know the angular size. Hold a match stick at arm's length in line with a known obiect.and note
how much of the object is covered by. the head of the match. If you had performed this experiment at the. time
of the sighting, how much of the object would heve been covered by the match head?

_ 23. Did the object disappear while you were watching it? If so, how?

24. In order that you can give as clear a picture as possible of what you saw, describe in your own words a

common object or objects which, when placed up in the sky, would give the same appearance as the object
which you saw.
