10. BRIEF SUMMARY OF SIGHTING Light white, size of basketball, shape of tear drop. Object had one arm extending from the upper left segment. Extending arm had two lights on it. These lights were light white, and seemed to be from an internal source. Appeared 4° above horizon, 15° from observer. Seemed to be descending very slowly.

11. COMMENTS The object was in view for 20-30 min with very little or no movement. Only one witness was interviewed, and the others apparently could not be located. The information reported is limited in nature precluding a valid conclusion. However, there is a strong possibility that the witness observed the planet Jupiter (mag -2.0) which was in a direction of 17° at the time of the sighting and at an elev or 3°.
