FOR THE COMMANDER

FRAME 007 / 007tesseract-200dpi

Dear Mr. ‘ie

This is in resvonse to y

your letter or
Sentember 23rd in which you reported sizgnting
unusual aerial phenomena on Sentember 22nd tna

the Lake Kemo district

Amw Vi ae

What you saw was, in

all crobabdility, a meteor.
Although satellilte decay characteristics are essen-
tially the same as chose of a meteor, witn three
ecceotions, there was no satellite decay reported
for the time specified in your letter. The excep-
tions in chax cterist ies mentioned above are (1)
the satellite decay is of longer iuration, up bo
23 much as 4 minutes, (2) the direction of a reentry

(3 to the northeast or southeast, and (3) colors
associated with the breaking up usually tend toward
reas and oranges.

We want to express our gratitude for you

.
—_

- s us. Obdservationsa of this nature are or na

value in attemoting to identify and/or locate
satellite decays.

sincere ely,
