FURTHER NOTES ON GENERAL APPEARANCE: To the naked eye it had the appearance of
a weakly glowing diffuse ball disc, seemingly of gaseous matter. The estima-
ted visual magnitude was about to 3k overall. When my first astonishment at
this sighting subsided, and this was very quick, I grabbed for the binoculars
(7x50 Zeiss) lying at my side and trained this instrument on the object, still in
apparent uniform motion across the sky. In the glass I could make out no struc-
ture, but confirmed the naked eye observation of a central condensation sugges-
tive of a nucleus
In size, I estimate that it subtended an arc of about lo to 15 minutes. The en-
tire sighting lasted no more than 5 seconds, and as it faded fro

The central condensation did not appear much more brilliant than the overall
