The object drifted downward for approx 5 to 10 minutes and appeared to be disintegrating, though no pieces were breaking away from the body of the object. Upon falling to the ground, the object had shrunk to the size of a cigarette paper and attempts to pick it up resulted in breakage.
11. COMMENTS No evaluation is possible without specimen, possibly cloud seeding operations. No check was made at time of report. Also possible migratory spiders. Cloud seeding most likely.
