Don' t know No Don't know Observer noted object in the west southwest at shortly after mid- night. Object appeared to be moving very slowly. Observer watched object for about 15 minutes and leftj object being still visible. Observer went back outside about 0100) 6 Oct 66 to look for object. At this time object had moved slightly to the r ight and downward. Object had moved about 6 inches from original position. White was the predominant color observed. At 0300 observer again tried to find the object but at this time object had disappeared. Observer was questioned about sighting. She thought it might have been a satellite. She had never seen a satellite previously. Movement puzzled her and then when she went back outside at 0300 and the object disappeared she became concerned. She wasn't reporting an UFO just an Wlusual llght. Witness was more than likely observing the star Altair. At 0015 EST ;\stair was on an azimuth of 268 degrees and at an elevation of 15 deg!"ees. At 0100 ES':r Altair was at an azimuth of 275 and at an ele1a'tion or' 8 at 0300 Altai r would not have oeen visible to the observer bec~use it set at approximatel y 0200 EST.
