11. COMMENTS Feel that this is a great deal of detail about an obj viewed for only 8-10 secs at night. Probable over imagination. Source claimed as "2nd maj/descrip" indicates possible a/c. Duration leads to evaluation as meteor, since initial obsvation indicates obj looked like meteor case is evaluated as a meteor sighting.
