28. Comments of Preparing Officer:

a. The sighting reports listed above are unconfirmed, incomplete, and, in some cases, erroneously submitted. However, in the interest of maintaining continuity of flow of sighting reports through the many concerned agencies, it was considered desireable to submit all for information purposes. The evident lack of value of incomplete reports has been brought to the attention of CAA and Flight Service units and, within the Flight Service structure, special training programs have been instituted which should preclude future relay errors.
