PERSONAL CONCLUSIONS: First U.F.O. seen by either observer. Both intelligent and normally skeptical, honor students not associated with hoaxes.

Highly unlikely object sighted was: aircraft (though some were in the area; one an advertising plane--not resembling sighting); celestial body (star, moon etc.) or balloon

I know we should have reported it to the nearest Air Force Base, but was busy and unable to report before present date.
