BRIEF SUMMARY OF SIGHTING An object described as "like a light, changing brightness, with the sharpness of a star" was observed by one witness at Lynn, Mass. Object described as elliptical and moving from the Northwest to overhead was observed for more than an hour. 11. COMMENTS The object observed by this witness was probably a sx balloon This was a bright night due to the moon approaching full and it would have been rather easy to see a balloon The change of the brightness tends to substantiate this as the probable cause Sufficient information to definitely state the cause of this sighting is not available Therefore it is classed as insufficient information but probably a balloon.
