11. BRIEF SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS Object was observed somewhat east of Paris at a high altitude. Dusk, with sun setting. Observer first thought of Venus, then looked up again to study the object. The object had disappeared by that time. At the same spot, the observer was able to observe a long trail of white vapor, thousands of meters in depth and almost perpendicular. The object was of reddish color. The observation lasted no more than three minutes. Once the cloud of vapor had disappeared, nothing more was visible.
