11. BRIEF SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS Observer watched one object appear in the north and then later reappear in the SW. The colors were very unusual, sharp and monochromatic, but did not give out any illumination. The first object was seen in the North for about 2 seconds, while the second time the objects appeared it was observed for about 8 seconds. The object was red and green when high in the sky and red and yellow when lower. Observer states that some type of mechanical action occurred when it first arrived. When the first object disappeared the observer began to look around until he saw the second object and naturally believed that his entire observation was of the first object. Since the first duration was a mere 2 seconds and the object was to have moved toward the south, there is nothing to rule out a bright meteor. There is nothing from the description that precludes the second object from being a cloud.
