(Do Not Write in This Spoce) le OmmRALI UFO OllSBRVERS INSTRUCTION SHEh"T (Sky Diagram) a. The diagram represents all ot tho sky normally visible to tho observer, who is pictured standing under the centeror tho demo" of the sky. It is designed to show a three-dtmonsional view of the area centered around the observer at the time ot the we sighting. b. Theposition of any object in tho sky can bo described by giving ite eleTstion, or angle !l:J2Wa.~ froln tho horizon, and its bea:rins or angle alol!fl the horizon, eastward fro1n north. Illustrntiog,sa (a) Elevation is 0 degrees for an object on the horizon, and 90 degrees for the point directly over the observer (zenith). Thus, an object half-way up from tho horizon to the zenith has an elevation of 45 degrees. (b) Bearing (or 'azimuth') is the angle along the horizon, starting trom north and moving clockwise eastward. Thus, an object directly toward the east, no matter what its elevation is above the horizon, has a bearing of 90 degrees, 9n object in the south has a bearing of 180 degreesJ tol>tard the west, 270 degrees and eo on. North is, of course, zero. !XAMPLEa An object is seen in the northeast and one-third way up from horizon to overhead. Thus. the object has a bearing ot 45 degrees, and elevation of 30 degrees. S~uilarly, an object having a bearing ot 180 degrees and an elevation ot 60 degrees would be seen directly south and two-thirds of the way up fran the horizon. 2.
