questionnaire or a narrative explanation of your sighting.
This object was moving faster than any aircnart f have ever
seen before. I was most iinpressed by the lighted area. It seemed
to come fron a convex window or windows and wes intensely
bxxx bright. Light did not actually shine as a bean, but
gave the feeling of coning fron a window. At one point, when
the object was straight overhead, it was distinctiy outlined,
except area, which could or could not have
been concave. Before the object disappeared, could hear and
see jet I plane, higher and to the left of the object. At no
time did I see any familiar type of aircraft lighting.
