10. BRIEF SUMMARY OF SIGHTING A round object size of auto light about a block away, reddish orange in color observed at 35 deg and a dog as believed to be a start but remained motionless for 30 sec and then began circling in over increasing spirals and reached 65 deg elev [ILLEGIBLE] where it rose suddenly at angle of 60-80 deg and faded from sight. total observation time 5 minutes.

11. COMMENTS Pattern of observation conforms to refraction of an astronomical body except for the elevation however there was no body of sufficient size to generate the sighting in the location given by witness The appearance and disappearance on the same reading point to this conclusion and the circling would be attributed to fluctuation of the object Witness did not give the size of the circles speed of motion spirals or any other detail hence listed as insufficient data.
