This report
to base a theory for the stimulus for the sighting. It
is possible that the sunrise could have created a re-
flection on the windshield of the car however the cause
of the unusual shape, as described, is unknown. It is
possible C-l2l aircraft with radar dome on top
of fusilage could create a similar appearance if viewed
at an angle although no such traffic could be confirmed.
I believe that this sighting would have to be attrib-
uted to a reflection or the windshield with the scant
amount of information available.
