k. Comments of preparing officer:
The family appeared hospitable and cooperative, answering
all questions asked without drawing any conclusions. The children were
well informed on UFo sightings in and around this area and had read numerous
books and newspaper articles on the subject. T The parents stated that the
object did not appear to be a meteorite or an airplane since in their opinion
it was slower than the former and faster than the latter. Amarillo Approach
Control radar and the 6ssth AC&w Squadron had no contact with the object.
Since there are no airways in the vicinity, the probability of the object
being an aircraft is slight. In the opinion of the investigating officer,
the object was either a large meteorite or a satellite.
