11. COMMENTS: The object moved S then E, ruling out the possibility of its being a star or planet and the duration ruled out a meteor. A description of the object, other than its brightness, was not reported. Due to the area of sighting, an investigation would not be practical. Due to the limited information reported, a valid conclusion cannot be made.
