11. COMMENTS SPADATS was contacted regarding satellite data; however, this sighting could not possibly be due to this. The object was probably a meteor. The apparent brightness further suggests that it was of the fireball class. We have no indication available indicating that this object was not a meteor or that it was a threat to the security of the United States.
