Dear Sirs:

On Sunday, January 26, 1964, I observed a yellowish-orange light (about 585 milliliter in wavelength) cross my meridian and then pass out of sight approximately ten minutes later (this was from 11:25-11:35 p.m.). It traversed a southwesterly path, and it, along with the full moon, were the only objects visible in the overcast sky.

If the object was an aircraft, it was not on a regular schedule. However, this does not rule out aircraf…
