Witness stated that if the object were a shooting star it was larger than any he had ever seen and much brighter than anything he had ever observed in the sky. It appeared round with a yellowish tail, which was not as bright as the circle. The circle itself appeared to be sort of red and yellow and about the size of a large dinner plate. It went so fast that it was hardly in sight before it disappeared. It was traveling much closer than a shooting star. Witness sure it did not in any way resemble a shooting star nor a plane. See Legge account (Incident 60) and Albert Sams' account (Incident 60b)
