We reached Mukkur at about 2 sl5 AM. we !'1tfuellecl the vehicle and proceded to K.alat .)sOO .AM M/Sgt.. Dw7er had aa 1nteet1nal attack and ukad that whe wa.a driTing at the ti , stop the Tehicle. We all g:>t. od ~ the Hhiole. While t.and:1ng on the roa.cl I noticed what. a.ppJ acl to be an axtrwelj bright star veey low on tha horizon. It ~ aoae five to ten degx eea aboYe the horizon and about fifteen deg:raea to the lett ot the moon~ which had riaen some tw hours prerl.ows. I a:sked to look a~ the object, stating tha-t it. iras probably the lowest. star I had evft" :seen. He did look at it~ exol.a.im.ed about. ita brightna, and then s4ad that he thought. it wu moving. I watched. the object for a few ~inutea and agr8ed that it was !!loring, but not. in arty speei!i o direc t.ion. Rather it a eellled t o be moving horizontally and vertically about a central point.. In order to better obse:ne t he movsment of the object I br aced myseU against a corner of the vehicle and sighted long the edge of the v ehicle, beL'lg sure to keep ~ head and body at11l. I again observ~d that the object waa moving about a central point, moving hori~ontally and vertically ~s described in the following figure. Beton changing di.reotion or movemen-t, the object always seemed to r aUu-D to point. A. It did not seem to travel directly between C ami B, C and D D and E~ or E and B. 6.Mter we had deoided that the object waa moving I noted that the ttme was Js~O AM. We watched the object for anether tmt minutes nnd at Js2 0 J.M it. disappeared for about 20 to JO seconds. It then reappearN in the eaae place. and I COJIIP&red the object with the various stars in the sk;r and agreed that it was .tour or five times a.s bright as the Nort h Star. I obe1 tea the sk;r and the area around n:J and noted .that there were a f ew eleada in the southeaai:~ but nene in arr:r other par"t of the alq'.

Again~ a f ew minutes later, it disappeared for a bout. a hal f 9ovle arrived in Kalat at 4sl5 AM. The objeet was a'oout thir"ty degxees above the horizon and shining brightly. Dna to our business in Kalat we re not able t o observe it continuously after t haa"i I did check it at a bout five roinut. intervals.
