BRIEF SUMMARY OF SIGHTING White, starlike object about size of Polaris. In approx 2 min it moved from zenith to about 5° N the base of the visible general brightness of Boston. From zenith the object moved constant speed to NNE passing to E of Polaris. Not nearly as bright as Echo and moved several times faster.
COMMENTS Witnesses are located on SW edge of Boston. Possible that object observed was one of the many a/c flying in area most of the time, but there is insufficient data to make a valid conclusion.
