Mr Lagge asserts in his signed statement that he was certain the object was not a shooting star (asserted he had seen shooting stars before but never had seen anything to compare with it) nor was it a plane. He states it was too "lit up" and traveling at too great a speed. It wasn't on fire or it would have fallen in the water. The thing was traveling at the rate of a shooting star but much closer at an estimated height of around 6,000 ft. It was visible for some 15 seconds and came out of the northwest heading eastward. The circle seemed about the size of a barrel head and the trail appeared around 15 feet long and made the whole object resemble a cone. He states "a shooting star usually leaves a temporary streak - this object left no streak only an after-glow. The circle was a bright red, the color of a flame. The after-glow (cone-shaped) was a fainter shade. NOTE: See coxroboring evidence of Wm Evans and Albert Sarnes (60a and 60b)
