Give significance in final one-sentence paragraph. List inclosures at lower left. Begin text of report on AF Form 112—Part II.) | The single object was sighted at wide spread locations by five known observers y one of whom was in the aug of Upper Darby, Pennsylvania which would indicate that the distance of the object from the four observers on Long Island (the height of the ead above the earth's surface) was great enough to be above a tangent | extending from the earth's surface at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and above normal surface haze which would have obliterated it at the x rim altitude.
