b. (l) Had been wetching stars while night fishing for catfish on the

My first reaction was that I was tired. I continued to watch and it
moved again and stopped. I then fixed its locetion with the horizon
using the silhouette of trees on the opposite bank of the river.
(2) Was to my l0 o'clock position in the Northeest hen first spot-
ted. It was not directley above me in its peth of travel but to mey
Jast. I could not judge distance or altitude beccuse I could not de-
termine its size. If I hud to make one eatimate I would guess it vas
at 40,000 feet.
(S) Same height. Lost object visually ut my 8 o'clock position in
the Southeast. Flight path vas even with the exeeption of four separ-
te up und down movements. It would move very rapidly for a distunce
cbout 10 to l5 times its own size then stop completely for from two
