Pan objects streaking across the sky,! It seemed to originate (as if it

was turned on bya switch) very closé to the star Betelguise in the

constellation of Orion, The direction in w hich it traveled was from |

| ~————Betelguise to the 3 stars in its belt, and towards the horizon’ It was
—___fairly—bright (about—1st-magnitude)—and—the—color—of-the-star-Rigel-a—
bluish ‘white, It was round and was very small-the size of how a star_|
appears 3) It was moving pretty fast-it went from Betelguist to the z
horizon in about 2-3seconds,’ It had no taiblat all and actually Looked

like a satellite would look but it was much faster.’ I have a fairly

goo@ knowledge in astronomy and so Limade a list of things it could
possibly be and checked out all of the objects that could not appear
