cightings were respectively for 41 30° altitude, /+0° eziuuth, and for A2 25°

OF all these sightings Al was the only one that waa observed throwh

The B sightings, which in cach casa cecurred about 10 mimutes befors
each of the A sightings, have the following characteristics: 51 refers to the
first sighting of object B and D2 presumably to the secomi pass of Bl. The tise
of the B2 pass was approximately 23:15 ED?.

The altitude and azimmh of the B sightings were resnectively: 3

north of Baltimore for the Al and Bl sightings, and 5 stiles south of the first
location for the A2 and B2 sightings. These locations refer to the cbhserver
who saw the first passes of both objects when he was 20 inilesa north of Saltinors
aml the second presumed passes of both A and 3B cbjects were observed Prom his
home, vhich is located about 5 miles south of the first location.

It should be noted that object B traveled In « canse opposite to.
that of sateé@lites. in general.

As to durations, Al was timed the inert of all, though none tco good.
che total trajectary of Al cecupled about 2-1/2 minutes and covered an are
of auoroxiuately 50°, giving a rate of 1/3° per second.

The sightings were observed by three adults and one teemger.

Qqgggee insists that the sightings correlate with nothing cn their

beard, unaided sye or selesconic. The trajectaries are off of wmain alrvays
patterns and further no sound was heard even though actively listened for.

Possibility that this was a Russian practice suki rotunda misht
