10. BRIEF SUMMARY OF SIGHTING Object same size and color as a star, first seen 15-20° elevation at 297°. Last seen 15-30° elevation at 113°. Had straight steady course and disappeared behind a cloud bank both dates.

11. COMMENTS This case does not present much information but that which is presented gives strong indication that the objects viewed were probably meteors. The description and straight path being factors in support of this conclusion. The relatively long time in sight, however is out of line with this conclusion.
