Short Summary:

Two passersby reported seeing an object on August 25, 1987, at 9:30 p.m., which they described as about one-eighth the size of the moon, flying from northwest to southeast. The object's color was described as white-blue. They stated that the object was flying at an altitude of 20-30 km. Its speed was described as Mach 7-8. After 20-30 seconds, the object suddenly disappeared at a 45-degree angle to the horizon. The witnesses reportedly then engaged in a lively discussion about their observation. An attempt was made to retrieve the object through telepathy. The object, it was further reported, returned from a southeasterly direction. It was now moving faster than before. Note: The case file has water damage.
