11. COMMENTS

Insufficient data for analysis,
Much conflicting information in
rpt. Obj in sight for 20-30 mins
& speed indicated at 3-4 times
that of jet. Flight was uneven

& abrupt up & down, Obj dimmer
than stars yet much detail given,
Obsbation has some characteristids
of balloon sighting, except for
the up & down deviations in

flight,
