Three inversions between 4000 and 10,000 feet.

h. There was no other unusual activity or condition which might
account for the sighting.

i. There was no interception of the object.
je Numerous aircraft were in the area at the time sighting.

k, This report was prepared by Captein William L. Bishop (DCO-S),
langley AFB, Virginia, Mr.q@jMMM stated that he observed an object,

larger than the moon, for approximately ten minutes before calling his
neighbor to see it. He turned to tell his neighbor what he had seen.
When he turned back toward the object, it had diseppeared. The

neighbor saw nothing unusual at ali. Investigation revealed no other
such sightings. It would be unusual for an object described as being

very large and over a heavily populated area to go undetected. The
observed object could have been an aircraft with landing lights on
flying toward the observer which would make it appear relatively

stationary. “Qs ace coupled with a lack of corroborating
evidence of a sighting raises a question as to whether the report
concerns a valid UFO within the definition of paragraph lb, AFR 200-2,

1. There is no existence of physical evidence.
