Further inveatigationa were conducted at the various residences o f the noted persons at which time', if#. was learned1 the object h nd appeared in the western sky and slightly to the nor.th. l s will be noted in thq statements, the descript i o n of al ti tl,lde v ~oe, howenr, all persons were consistqnt i n stating th'at the object fell from eight. Taking tho acC\UIIulated ini'or- mation John FINDLAY, Asst. Chief Technician o f the Calgary 'Planetarium waa c ontacted. He studied the aY&ilable int'onnation and came to the solid conclusio n that the object was i n fact the star VENU~. He advised.that this star would appear in the exact location and has many times been mistaken for a U. R. O. The s tar ha s a magnitude of minua ) . 8 and mons a t a speed o f 'aoproxi.mate- l y 15 degrees per ho ur, setting !oar bouro after sunset. Sunset on the 11 r.ua 72 wD.s 6 :)6 PI<!: t hua,' the object would'diaappear at approximately betw.een 10 : 35 and 10:15 PM. Mr . FINDLAY s tated that due to 'the atmospheric c onditi ons the star would appear to change colour and elso to vary slightly \" ita movements. FINDLM demonajrat e d to ~e the oxao t positio n o f the star VENUS o n the 11 MAn 72 a t 10 : JO PM utilising the Planetarium .Ob&U'Ya'tory. Froa!, what I learned a t t-he various residences in rep,;Md to the aightinoa, I felt that the o bject was in fact in identical proximity to the area indicated by the witnessea. 4. Further c ontact has been made with turn advise that they haYe since obDerved same position and feel that it ia in fact witnesses who in same obje c t in the star VENUS and not 5. In view of the foregoing informatio n it is felt tha~ there ' 1e li~tle doubt that the o~ject 1a in fact tl')e otar V~NUS. C NCLUDD ll~rtl:!: i/c Calp;ary Det.
