(2) Object again appeared in same location but on the next
five successive observations flew a straight course and disappeared to

the East. At first, object became three white objects, but as it moved

Eastward the two rear whites disappeared and there were now six red,
green, and white lights as shown on plot.

d. Object sighted and observed through binoculars by Staff
Sergeant and two neighbors, at 1930 local time. Object, oblong, about
the size of a saucer, moved with an up and down motion, white in color
with a flashing light. Local weather ballons are launched at 10AM
and 10PM, so this object is eliminated as a weather ballon. Object
was also observed on 31 August and 3 September. See plot number 4.

e. Object was observed to the North of Cheyenne by group of eight
young civilians, whose hobby is stargazing with a 50/100 telescope.
Object appeared low on horizon, moving slowly Westward, disappearing
somewhat higher above horizon. There were three objects, size of a
dime, close together with red, white, and blue lights. See plot
number 4,

rst sighted by personnel at Golf, who informed two
members orf the Target Alignment Team at a nearby Launch Site. The
latter observed the object with a theodolite and identified it as
Jupiter, due to observation of the three moons of that planet.
