NO APPARENT MO\/E~1E:ffi' PAGE FIVE RJWFKFO 1 OTH~R THAN 'ROTATION WAS REPORTED. COMAPRISON TO A PASSING AIRCRAFT WAS MADE. CONfERENCE WITH 20TH ADIV WEATHER SERVIce: TENDS TO DISCOUNT ANY MIRAGE DUE TO TEMPERATURE INVERSION. PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS DOES NOT SUPPORT NOR DENY THE POSSIBILITY THAT SOME OBJECT WAS SEEN. THIS OBSERVER REPORTS HE HAS SEEN A SIMILAR OBJECT ON ONE PREVIOUS OCCASSION. TH~ OBSERVER IS A QUALIFIED RADAR OPERATOR AND IS FIRMLY CONVINCED AS TO THE EXISTENCE OF SOME OBJ~CT DURING THE PERIOD OF OBSERVATION. L. NO PROTOGRAPHS OR OTHER PHYSICAL EVIDENCE WERE OBTAINED. 11/1715Z DEC RJWFKFO
