On 19 Oct 63, Mrs shermans Avenue,
flying object and has requested an evaluation of I her sighting.
Pertinent facts regard ling her obsert are as follows:
a, At about 1800 1810 hours Mr bserved an
object described as bronze or gold in color. The direction
given in her report was about 260 deg azimuth; this is the
direction of the sun. The sun set at l7ol and the end of
astronomical twilight was 1847 hours. In the narrative of her
report she indicated that a dark red sky was to the right of
the object. Therefore, it is believed that the object was to
b. Antares, a first magnitude star (+1.3), was on the
horizon at 225 deg azimuth at the reported time of the sighting.
Also, Mars with a magnitude of +l.7 was at 15 27.64 with a dec-
lination of -l9.23 deg. This places the planet on the horizon
at 234 deg azimuth. Mars tends to appear reddish in color. At
1800 hours on 19 Oct the Moon was at 280 deg (15 14.16.206)
however, the declination of -l3 46.1l places this astronomical
body below the Sun. Therefore, it could not contribute to the
cause of this sighting.
c. In this case, Mrs observation is believed to
be the setting or refraction of Mars or Antares. Analysis tends
to indicate Antares because of greater bri ness and a color
more closely associated with her report.
