11. COMMENTS: Objt responsible for this sighting was probably a meteor. Description of objt matches that of a classic meteor. Green color reported by witness is unlikely to be associated with that class of meteors known as fireballs. Fact that more than 1 objt was reported is probably due to meteor breaking up just prior to burnout. There is no evidence available indicating objt was anything other than a meteor.
