K. Position, title and comments of the preparing officer: This tepor t offers very l ittle infor.na tion upon i!~lch to base a theory for tho stimulus for the sifi"l G] ng. It is po~sible tha t the sunrise c ould have created a re- flection on the windshield o f the c a r however th~ o9use of the unu s ual shape, as described , i s unknown . It is possible that a C-121 aircraft with radar dome on top of fusilage c ould create a si milar appearance if vle~1ed a t an a n gle although no such traffic could be confirmed.. I believe that thi s si~htirtv wouJd have to be attrib- uted to a reflection on the windshield ,,.,ith the scant a oun t of information available.
