The report, classified as a probable aircraft, notes that the object emitted a bright light, similar to a star, but with changes in its apparent size and temperature. It was observed for one and an eighth minutes, maintaining a straight path. Although no photos were taken and no physical evidence was found, the observer described it as a glowing balloon-like object.
