10, BRIEF SUMMARY OF SIGHTING _—_ , 11. COMMENTS

Small moon shaped object about 3' in diameter
described as a white glow appeared at a low
elevation. Disappeared at about 60 deg elev
after moving to the West and splitting into
two objects. Winds from West to East.

ATIC FORM 329 (REV 26 SEP 52)

Object apparently moving into the wind.
Control tower observers could not spot
object, although it was reported as being
over the Air Field. No description of the
splitting given and essential details of
the motion of the object are missing.
Insufficient data for evaluation based

on this reason.
