Dear Mr.
JUL 1 2 1967
correspo dence our unidentified
observat 967.
Investigation revealed that you probably observed the pessing
of ECHO I. This particular satellite, with an estimated stellar
magnitude of -l.o, would have been visible from your area. At
approximately 0345, EDF, Jume 4, 1967, ECHo II would have been
traveling over central Iowa on a southerly heading. The satellite
would have entered the earth's shadow at approximately 35.6 latitude,
which would have accounted for its dissappearance the WSW.
Sincerely,
