Addendum: The classification being suggested might be outlined
as follows:
Class 5: Object seen in sufficient detail to rule out conventional
causes if the description is taken as accurate.
Class 4: Details observed which contradict conventional causes,
but uncertainties in report or observation which could
leave rocm for conventional explanation.
Class 3: Not enough detail observed to suggest either conventional
or unconventional cause; either conventional or unconvenational
type of explanati on equally applicable.
Class 2: Some unusual aspects to observation, but could be explained
by presuning some conventional object present (not, however,
in contradiction to witness' statements).
Class 1: Object positively identified as conventional.
