more than average knowle concerning aerospace science aerodynamics,
as he instructor twenty years. After viewing
the UFO, was not abl logically explai presence, position, or
movement and expressed himself in a very rational manner. He seemed to
think the object could have been a synchronized l satellite (report to be
forwarded by SPATAs). I found him to be an intelligent and reliable
person, whose observation is worthy of further investigation.
