The reliability of the

observer's statement.

During a phone conversation with on 15 September
1964, he amended his estimate of the object's speed to "slightly
more than the speed of a jet airliner." Also, he emphasized that,
"the outline of the object was very distinct."
It is my opinion that the sighting was the PA22 previously
mentioned. The cloud movement may have given the aircraft the
illusion of traveling from West to East (see illustration). I from West to East (see illustration). I
cannot justify the observer's estimate of speed and his observation cannot justify the observer's estimate of speed and his observation -
that the craft emitted no sound. However, I might submit that a that the craft emitted no sound. I However, I might submit that a
possible possible explanation for this phenomena is that the object was explanation for this phenomena is that the object was too
far away to be heard and/or there may have been a fault in the
observer's hearing sense. : observer's hearing sense. In consideration of the observer's
estimate of speed, I would suggest that his estimate is inaccurate
due to the fact that he is due to the fact that he is an unqualified observer.
