10. BRIEF SUMMARY OF SIGHTING Slightly elliptical. Size of grapefruit. Color similar to star. Seemed to be traveling in an oblique formation. Seemed that satellite Echo was being observed. lst objt seemed to be coming on an az of 259°. lst objt traveled on a heading, it headed on a 215° az; lst objt disappeared on a 8° heading; 2nd objt on a 150° heading. Both faded out.

11. COMMENTS angular velocity of high flying jet a/c and of Echo are aprox same. It is quite possible that a passing a/c was sighted and due to excitement misidentified or identified with Echo. Past reports in witness in this case indicate that he becomes very excited when subj is UFO's. It is concluded that objt or x-ray sighting was probably a high-flying a/c.
