THE SIGHTINGS WERE MADE WITHING FIVE MINUTES OF EACH OTHER R AND WERE
SEPARATED BY APPROXIMATELY 15 MILES. THIS INDICATES A POSSIBLE
C NFIRMATION, ESPECIALLY SINCE ONE UFO WAS OBSERVED BY TWO PEOPLE
AT THE SAME TIME. HOWEVER, THE DESCRIPTION GIVE, CIGAR-SHAPED -
V ERSUS S A SQUARE AS LARGE AS A FOOTBALL FIELD, CAN HARDLY BE SAID -
TO CONFIRM EACH OTHER. SINCE ALL THREE WITNESSES ARE RELIABLE, I
M UST JUD GE THAT SOMETHING WAS OBSERVED IN EACH CASE. THE WEATHER
BALLO N CITED IN PARAGRAPH J MIGHT FIT THE CIGAR DESCRIPTION, BUT
I OFFER THIS ONLY AS CAN OFFER R NOTHING
MORE DEFINITE.
L. EXISTENCE OF PHYSICAL EVIDENCE: NONE.
