The obj was estima.ted to be approximately 230 ft in diam. ATJC JIORM 329 (RKY 21 IEP 52) I I. COMMENTS Four trails could possibly contrils and the speed of object <D uld be attributed to reflection of sunlight. A check ,.,.ith COC Weather at ADC revealed there were no temoerature invcrains at time of sfghtt ng.
