Several neonle s aw the obj~ct, and the people of a village on a ridge along which the object had passed were awakened by some unkn01..m noise. An aerial reconnaissance of an area of 30 miles around the point of observation ~ attempted. Low clouds and severe turbulence prevented adequate observation of the area in question. This area is extremely rou8h and peopled by tmfriend.ly tribes. Philippine agencie s vere contacted and they promised to send in teams to question local people and searCh for debris. University.
