11. COMMENTS At 05/1752 Echo I was at hi?°30'N 157-30W and would have appeared to be traveling NE to the witness. Echo would not be visible at the time reported. However Echo was in the direction reported and since the object was identified as a satellite a slight error in time is considered possible and the case is listed as a possible satellite observation.
