11. COMMENTS: This report was received 3 months after sighting. Witness reports sighting occurred at 17:55 GMT and the sun was down but sun was still up at this time. Witness reported that it was night, which is possible if his memory has failed him concerning the time of day the sighting occurred. Due to inaccuracy as to the time of day, a valid conclusion cannot be made as to the nature of the sighting. Observation in question Joseph Doe could not determine that object was stationary.
