COMMENTS OF THE INV ING OFFICER:
Reference the three sightings of the UFo or light phenomena and
the map which summarizes directions and angles of sightings.
Allowing for discrepancies in observations attributed to untrained
observers, it is believed that the three reports tend to be in fair
agreement.
It is estimated that the phenomenon was caused by a relatively small
meteorite which was observed relatively at low altitude and short
range, and that the individuals observed the meteorite e during the
last few seconds of its life. Although this is not conclusive, the
green color noted by Mrs green color noted by Mra is is indicative of that given off by indicative of that given off by
a ferrous meteorite. No other logical a ferrous meteorite. No other logical explanation for ause has use has
been determined by stigating Officer.
A check was made with personnel at the Griffiths Park Observatory, the Griffiths Park Observatory,
and it was also their opinion and it was also their opinion that the phenomenon as described
could have been caused could hay en caused by eteorite. orite.
