COMMINTS White object size of 1st mag star traveling at high speed and high altitude observed for 6 min in flight from 6o deg elevation 165 deg azimuth to 20 deg elevation 14o deg azimuth. Believed to be Sa~ellite. at lllBZ ECHO crossed equator at 3590 longitude at 1210Z ECHO would be crossing the equator heading S at 131 degE. This places the Satelllite in position for observation at the reported time. Case evaluated as ECHO I. c AC l ION a RE LC: ASEO BY OnAFT~O DY ~XT. NO. rr1 U SS 1'1AR SHAl.l.
