As object traveled across the sky, it passed through thin layers
of clouds causing it to dim in brightness. After passing overhead
and approaching 6o degrees angle of elevation it and approaching 6o degrees angle of elevation it withdrow, at a withdrow,at a
greatly incrcased volume of speed, directly away from ne. The re-
treat angle was 6o degreos above the horizon. It finally grew
dimmer as it entered the cloud cover and disappeared.
