10. BRIEF SUMMARY OF SIGHTING 11. COMMENTS
Extremely bright meteorite flashed from the
meridian to the North. Then saw star that moved At 115O PM, ?ECHO was heading NE North
very slightly to the East. Thought to be of the city at 44 deg elevation, in a
running light of a/c, but believed to be at position to be observed by the witness
extremel altitude and running lights not visible.
Nothing other than light. Peculiarity in that
speed lacked uniformity and had sudden lateral
movements. Jerky motion emphasised. Moved like
Wx balloon except it went over horizon too fast.
