Base Diauter Conttol Officer AD analysis of the object would be difficult since the obaerer obviously is with the subject of aatzonomy. I would that a d person , at the ti of the sigbtiD8, whether the sun vas still in a poaitiOD to reflect objects at an a!titude dow4 to 38 000 feet (the poeitiOD of tbe tropopause). The ob!"Nr stated that the object wu hip (as per telecon) ... to aD uapracticecl eye any of al.titude is difficult.
