10. BRIEF SUMMARY OF SIGHTING 11. COMMENTS
Star-like object of second magnitude, Although this sighting occurred :
around twice the size of a pinhead, in late 1957, it was not rptd |
bright white in color. Fell very until late 1961, The information
slowly until obscured by tree, reported is limited in nature,
and due to the age of the sight-
. ing. it is impractical to attempt
to gather further information,
It is possible that the object °
: was a meteor, but _due to limited
information, a valid conclusion
cannot be made,
