COMMINTS ~tonga ted object like an electric light On 22 July Jupiter w.s a 1 hr 11 mi,n 55 pbserved for over 2 hrs. Moving from E to sec on the Ecliptic. This places it in in ste~y climb. Looked a little like the East at about the time.lt would start gcHO except that ECHO moved many times faster. to appear at an elevation of 10 deg above Reported object to Naval Observatory, who the horizon. 2t hrs later it would climb 1 told witness to report same to Air Force. to about 45 deg elevation. Reported motior ~lso observed on the 21st, 25th and 26th of the object was NE,however,the planet if ! ~t same time same place. moving to the SE. In same place ~nd in thE sam' time the object reported is characteristic ATIC PORM 329 (RaY 21 SaP 12) of an ASTRO body. Since Jupiter is in the initial location it is believed that the reported direction is in error and the sighting is evaluated as JUPITER.
