k.I Preparing officer - 2/Lt Christopher J. Hoppin, FR835o7A,
Base Information Officer. At first the cause of the sighting was
believed to be the mateor or comet Ikeye-Seki. However.
time and path conflicted with ths time and flight paths of that ob-
jeot. Her home is in the vicinity (within 7 miles) of Port Columbus
Airport, and is therefore witness to a great deal of airoraft traffic.
However, she still sincerely maintains this appeared to be some sort
of a "flying Saucer." She has seen Venus and reooghissd as such; sho
is positive objeot is not the same.
