The light lasted for approximately 3-5 ovteuis starting with a broad greenish#blue streak and ending in a puff of orange- red flame. The light first appeared at approximately 030° to my starboard and. moved downward very slightly from my port to starboard. Previous to this flash of light I had been observing (for approx 2 min.) a flashing white light which appeared to be on the horizon and in the same direction as the light deseribed above. After observing this light I flew north of Misawa Air Base on the coastline to a point approx. 30 miles north of the base looking for any remains of the falling light previously seen. While doing this I was in contact with the GCI controller and upon pancaking I made a verbal report to him of what I had observed. : /s/Donald F. Chaplin /t/DONALD F.
