ORIGINAL EXPLANATION WOULD BE BALLOON WITH FLARE, HOWEVER WINDS UP TO
3,000 WERE ADVERSE, INTENSITY DID NOT DIM EXCEPT WHEN DISAPPEARING

A. Repeated shown that bright stars or planets,
when observed through haze or adverse sky conditions
after present whirl, unusual shapes and colors

B. The elevations, azimuths of the object given here
are almost exactly those of Venues' location and
movement until its disappearance beyond the Boregon

C. See attached Astro journal & press clippings
regarding the no. of reports caused by VENUS

D. Venus reflects 60% of the moon at its
bright, the more at…
