11. COMMENTS Venus 15,38 on Ecliptic, just rising. Arcturus at 20 dgr elev & Spica at 5 dgr elev in East. These three astro bodies were the brightest in the Eastern sky at the time. There was a tempera- tural inversion of 7-8 dgr F to 6-700ft & an inversion of air between 10,000 & 10,400 ft prob- ably contributing to the unusual appearance. Most likely culprit was Venus.
