Their differences about its shape are the differences between the cross sticks of an old-fashioned kite and a comet. out aircraft - light source could possibly have been balloon. It is quite probable that the witnesses observed a reflected or refracted light which was further distorted by a window screen. However, in the absence of more positive information, this case is categorized 'Unidentified.' " From my own point of view, a balloon is ruled out because of the high speed of the object and its sharp changes of direction.

My conclusion is that Mr. Larsen, at least, was a good enough observer to know that he was seeing something real - and strange. The Air Force conclusion was: "Satellite ruled out because of direction of motion. Motion also rules What do you think?
