First noticed 60° above horizon descending at a 60° angle w/horizon. About 30° above horizon obj separated into 2 parts, first piece about 3 times larger than second piece. Second piece continued on a course of [ILLEGIBLE] T. Obj burned out and disappeared above horizon. A/c altitude [ILLEGIBLE].

11. COMMENTS There were no reported recovery of satellites at time of sighting. Description characteristic of a bolide entering earth's atmosphere and breaking up. Duration is excessive for normal meteor, but this can be accounted for by its northerly course.
