11. BRIEF SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS Probably round object white, small similar to star of 2d magnitude steady white light, no features. Observed at 70 deg elevation falling to 30 deg elevation. Motion included a [ILLEGIBLE] of 2) degrees amplitude.

COMMENTS: Duration and motion tend to rule out Satellites and s/c Not in accord with Astro observation Motion consistent with balloon such as Local WX balloon with light attached This can be accounted for by shift in surface winds and mountainous terrain in and around Albuquerque Object very dim This is consistent with the small battery operated light that balloons carry.
