BRIEF SUMMARY OF SIGHTING Silver object, shape of isosceles triangle base approx 1/2 to 1/3 as long as legs of triangle. Could be covered by gold ball held at arms' length. Small vapor trail. Attr drawn by its high speed, which source described as twice as fast as F-100 ser a/c.
COMMENTS Probably a/c with illusion of greater speed due to effects of trying to observe fast moving objects through a sky half covered with clouds and early morning sun's slant rays inter playing between a/c and clouds.
