10. CONCLUSION Astro (MOON) Probable) [HW:]

11. BRIEF SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS Objects appeared in conjunction with 5 white cotton ball objects that had pink cast about them. Moon was not visible during sighting, but became visible the instant the objects disappeared.

It appears that a combination of atmosphere conditions (scattered clouds, lights wind and possibly some smoke from the paper mill) caused partial blackout of the quarter moon from the observers location. As the cloud mass moved, moonlight shining through varying cloud densities may have caused the phenomena.
