K:. MAJ JOHN C. MC KIBBEN ASST. OPERATIONS OFFICER. THE OBSERVER STATED

THAT THE: OBJECT WAS VERY BRIGHT, WHEN CDMPARED TO THE BRIGHTNESS OF

Sf ARS, AND LARGER THAN STARS. IN THE REPORTING OFFICERS OPINION

THIS SOUtWS VEi1Y MUCH LIKE THE DESCRIPTION OF A wEATHER BALLOONo

I PERS)NNALLY SAW A WEATHER BALLOON AT DUSK, ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO

IN PANA~A, AND THIS DESCRIPTION IS MUCH THE SAME AS I WOULD HAVE

GIVEN, HAJ I NOT KNOWN WHAT I WAS LOOKIOO AT. IN THIS REPORT IT WAS

JUSf BEFORE DAWN AND WHEN I SAW THE WX BALLOON IT WAS AT DUSK. IN

BOTH CASCS T~E LIGHT RAYS OF THE SUN WERE HIGH IN THE SKY EVEN THOUGH •

IT WAS DAHK On NEARLY DARK ON THE GROUND
