- Just a brief report... Actualy this is the first time I saw something I
- can't quite explain.
-
- Where: State Hwy 9 in Iowa traveling west, about 5 miles east of Rt63
- My position. I was driving in my car with the window completely down.
- Time: about 1:30pm
- WX: abt 63degrees. Light breeze out of west. Mostly Sunny, a few cumulus
- clouds but not many.
- Date 3/16/95
- Other Aircraft: 3 or 4 high flying jets. 12 to 15 jet trails in sky.
- What I saw: Looking at a jet, just before entering a clowd bank, flying
- west to east, I noticed a bright (reflective) object about 2 degrees
- ahead of the jet. It seemed elongated and rotating. The reflection
- varied with a cycle of about .75 seconds. Its length seemed to be about
- twice that of the jet. Using the jet and the neadby clowd as references,
- it seemed to be ahead and below the jet. It was traveling almost due
- south, much faster than the jet. The object left no exhaust trail. I
- saw it for about 5 seconds before it went into the cloud. checked my
- glasses to be sure it wasn't a reflection. It wasn't. There were no
- trees in the area and the onjy birds birds around were pheasants feeding
- on the ground.
-
- I would appreciate e-mail speculation. I am most certainly not a
- crack-pot, actualy I am a UFO skeptic (not unbeliever).

- Thanks Ken L. KA9RVK
