information on an object that I observed on the

ight of Saturday, July 10, at approximately 11:27
to 11:35 P.M., C.D.2T. (Central Daylight Time).
fhis object appeared like a satellite and passed
through the following constellations, passing from
south to north. The constellations that this object
passed through were: first, passing above the

canma star in Cygnus and secondly through the ganna
star in Cassiopeia.

[ was advised to ask your advice on this site
observation in that there was no knowledge

obtainable as to the source of the sited object.

Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Sineerely yours,

Mankato. Minnesota
