11. COMMENTS
On 22 July Jupiter was a lhr 11 min 55

sec on the Ecliptic. This places it in

the East at about the time,{t would start

to appear at an elevation of 10 deg above

the horizon. 2s hrs later it would climb

to about 45 dee elevation. Reported motior

of the object was NE,however,the planet i
moving to the SE. In same place and in thgsam
time the object reported is characteristic

of an ASTRO body. Since Jupiter is in the
initial location it is believed that the

reported direction is in error and the

sighting is evaluated as JUPITER.
