Dear Ben:

Two friends of mine spotted an unusual occurrence
while doing some astronomy the other evening.

I thought if the Air Force is still keeping an
active check on UFO's, you might pass it on to whoever
handles that sort of thing.

Please let me know of any comment you may receive.

Bright, white star, no variation, rose in South and
moved fairly rapidly towards Zenith. First assumed to be
ECHO. However, it remained stationary at Zenith for several
minutes. Then continued due North and disappeared in
horizon haze. Viewed for most of time in 3%'' QUESTAR at
#80 and #160- appeared as pure star image. In sight
about 15 minutes, Zenith passage about 09.00 H. Clear night.

ECHO 1 was observed in transit at 11.01, and appeared
identical except for stationary period at Zenith.

In its Northward motion, the object was observed to pass
between gland ar Ursa Major.
