10. BRIEF SUMMARY OF SIGHTING Round and seemed to wink like a star. Yellowish white in color, appeared to be 5 times the size of Venus. Appeared to be larger than Sputnik I but traveled across the sky at the same speed.
11. COMMENTS: There were no satellites over the area at the time. Witnesses probably saw a high flying a/c flying along one of the several air lanes leading from San Antonio, and the a/c being to the N, and at a much higher altitude, would be in sunlight where it would appear odd to the observers who were in darkness.
