different occasions. It was during your last
sleep.
I was taking a few final movies and I was
watching for this very phenomenan. It was the
first time I saw it . It would be a little shaft
of white illumination and it was a long time be­
fore the sun came up.
I don't know whether that's
what they were seeing before or not .
But when the
sun itself actually came up, I didn't get much of
a big ball of light--just some big, bright lights
coming up from behind the earth.
That's all I was getting.
I didn't see this other
thing.
I saw quite a few shooting stars.
Oh, yes.
They seemed to fall and burn up considerably below
our altitude. They looked a half or a third as
high as we were when they were actually being
consumed and being burned up.
I never saw one
above us , did you?
No .
Okay cloud coverage-­
There was a lot of it.
There was lots of it. There were a lot of times
when there wasn't any.
I don't guess there's much
we can sal about this .
