10 BRIEF SUMMARY OF SIGHTING One spherical object with a greenish hue and a trail nine to ten miles long, trail was also green, was observed on radar, air-visually and ground-visually. It appeared to illuminate the sky as a ball of fire. A humming sound was noted.
11 COMMENTS Although the duration of sighting was very long for the object to have been a meteorite, it is the conclusion that the object was probably a meteor. It is known that the trail of a meteorite is a good radar reflector and the description of the object fits that category.
