It appeared 1 nate the slq sa a ball ot fire. A hunudng sound vas noted. ATJC POJtM .JH (R&V 26 SBP 52) 11. COMMHTS Although the duration of sighting was very long for the object to have been a meteorite, it is the conclusion that the object w.a probably a meteor. It is known that the trail of a meteorite is a good radar reflector and the d~scrip tion of the object fits that category 00 RJEPMQ RJIPSN RJlDWP RJIDEN DE.
