10. BRIEF SUMMARY OF SIGHTING Comet-like objt with trail pointing to SW. When in hover trail disappeared, became egg-in doughnut-shape. Size of head of a dime, Diameter approximately equal to length of B-52. Overall size larger than a blimp. Color was golden in flight; khaki brown when in a hover. Trail appeared to be twice the size of objt. First appeared ill-luminated. Appeared and disappeared several times.

II. COMMENTS: First magnitude star Altair was in direction indicated by witness for objt. Altair was below horizon and was probably able to be seen only due to the inversion which was in area at time. It is possible that a/c in area contributed somewhat to sighting, but it is believed that star was real culprit. Consistency of times, directions and descriptions on subsequent nights substantiate this conclusion.
