10. BRIEF SUMMARY OF SIGHTING Star shaped objt size of head of a pin was observed by military and civilian witnesses at Wadena AFS and Osage Minnesota. Objt was white with a reddish tint and was observed low on horizon to W. Motion attributed to objts was straight down to horizon and a few degrees right and left. Sighting was reported to have lasted more than an hour.
11. COMMENTS This sighting was reported to have lasted more than an hour and therefore could hardly be due to observation of same star. That portion of same sky in N at time of sighting is particularly rich in bright stars: Aldebaran, Sirius. Sightings in N might be wrong sightings. It is concluded that sighting is caused by misidentification on Western horizon due to their being distorted by Atmospheric refraction.
