10. BRIEF SUMMARY OF SIGHTING

ircular object size of large star observed
in straight flight to the NE at uniform
speed. Object then seemed to stop NE of the
ity.

ATIC FORM 329 (REV 26 SEP 52)

——--

11. COMMENTS :
Duration of the stopping not reported
however the word seemed to stop was

used, therefore it is assumed that this
could have been an illusion. The satellite
ECHO I was over Sioux City at 03462 S of
the city at 62 deg elevation heading

WE. Flight, description of the object

and duration are consistant with the
analysis of this object as ECHO I.
