BRIEF SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS The observers sighted a light that when first observed appeared to be an exhaust of a jet. Approx the last 1/3 of the time it appeared to be two jet exhausts. The observer felt the object was no more than 3 to 4 hundred ft high and traveling in a westerly direction. Information was requested from Blythville RAPCON but the only thing painted on the scope was a target moving 60-90 MPH due south.

COMMENTS: Radar operator felt he was painting automobiles and not UFOs. Three different Delta flight crews identified the object as a meteor which entered the atmosphere and broke into two pieces. These pieces traveled roughly toward the W-S-W and were visible for approx 15 seconds.
