approximately 3:45Stedsy7, Sunday, I spotted three bright

er

objects *faveliing in an eapt-north-sastergy direction here in
Hofth Andoves., The objects were giroularing each other and pass-
lig cach cther, T saw tham only for about a minute then sudden»
ly they vahiched, I'd say they were at an approximate heightof
three miles znd travelling at an approximat? 1,000 miles an
hours

Yours truly,

Case 14: The committee generally disagrees with classifying this as unre-
liable just because it was 14 years old. Although report does not inspire

confidence, the committee feels that proper classification is insufficient
information or insufficient follow-up.
