1. Reference your unidentified observation of 20 November 1967.
The AF Form ll7 which you completed shows the object as sppearing
in roughly the and disappearing in roughly the north-northeast.
Unfortunately, the rorm can be misleading as to the course of the
object. Did the objeet seem to be approaching toward you at an
angle (getting larger), staying the same distance, or moving away
at an angle (getting smaller)? at an angle (getting smaller)? Mow certaln are you or your directions? How certain are you of your directions?

The AF Form 1l7 which you 29 completed shows the object as appearing
in roughly the east and disappearing in roughly the north-northeast.

angle (getting smaller)? How certain are you of your directions?
Did you use a compass? Since the sighting, have you talked to
anyone else who saw the object? If so, could you provide their
names and addresses?
