THE OBJECT COULD POSSIBLE BE A METEORITE OR SATELLITE BURNING. THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE FLASH NEGATES THE POSSI8LIITY OF A HIGH ALTITUDE BALLON SIGHTING.

SIMULTANEOUS SIGHTING BY ALL AIRCRAFT, SHORT DURATION, AND LACK OF RADAR DETECTION SUPPORT THIS POSSI8ltTITY. INCOl'!"-G Page 4 of 4 PART X I I . ON THE SPOT WRITTEN LOG I N POSSISSION OF MR.
