10. BRIEF SUMMARY OF SIGHTING Witness was taking motion pictures of the contrails in the sky an image was first noted in the form of parallel light rays. The light rays then appeared to form a rectangular image with the parallel rays still discernable and forming on both of the long sides of the rectangular image. As the frames progressed the rectangular image became circular and the parallel light rays were visible until the image was almost circular.
11. COMMENTS It should be noted that the contrails moved from top to bottom of the frames indicating motion in the camera. The image may have been caused by a lens aberration when the lens was exposed to the direct sunlight. Since contrails from high flying a/c were apparent, loud sonic-type boom could have been caused by a/c passing through sound barrier coincident with appearance of this image.
12. CONCLUSIONS Was Balloon [Probably Balloon] Possibly Balloon [Was Aircraft] Possibly Aircraft [Possibly Aircraft -] Was Astronomical [Probably Astronomical] Possibly Astronomical
