Obj was very bright compared to background stars & had a stream of light or vapor coming fm rear of obj & extending 1/2 to 3/4 of its length. Also had a rotating beacon like obj around the bottom. Erratic flight including hovering. Initial obsvation a 200 dgr az 30-45 dgr elevation. Disappe at approximate same area. Obj observed a/c in area. Gave impression of being strobe or light. Estimated speed mach wwo (2) in error since obj apparently stationary. ATJC P'ORM 329 (RP.V 21'1 SI':P Sl) 11. COMMENTS Balloon sighting characteristics present. Flight should have been to the East. Only conflicting info w/analysis as balloon is that obj disappeared in same gen- eral area. Flight erratic & included hovering. Possible leak causing smoke or vapor impression red /near obj. Disappearance given m/as hazed out. Sufficient gata for analysis as balloon. A.c viewed obj 15 mins after ground rpt received. R U\11 G .0. L / r'\ DC ENT AFB ;.;CCi10R!J Z 2 Nov 62 QO ~:.JCD:'O/Ar.
