Sir:

About 10:40 p.m. while watching television I noticed a moderately bright orange light travelling across the sky. It was at an angle of about 30 degrees and was travelling parallel to the horizon. I called to my brother and he also observed it. While I watched from one window my brother moved to another but his view was obscured by a street light. While he was still at this window I saw the object dim and vanish in a matter of two seconds. The whole period of observations was about 45 seconds.

The light was of unchanging intensity although my brother seemed to think it travelled in jerks, but this could be attributed to the window through which It was observed. Hoping this letter will be of use and interest.
