Dear Sir,
Please forgive the lack of direction in the above letterhead. I
trust it will be enough.
On Saturday, 2April, as I was watching for satellites, a most
course.
The time was 18:24 G.M.T. and two things made it most umusual.
The first was its speed.  In the 5o to 8o degrees of through
which I observed it, not more then one mimute elapsed.
two per second. It seemed to be invisible apart from itsblink-
nitude star and when directly overhead, much brighter.
The color of the light was about that of a white star.
I have more then 4,000 flyin
fighter jet time (F-84G).
It is very quiet here and high are easily heard.
There was no sound natsoever.
I would be, very intrested to hear from you if you have any
information on cthis.I have seen many satellites and in my
opinion this object was neither a satellite or ancaircraft.
