02 18 4111    CDR   Okay.    Is that it?   Yes, I can get that, Gene.

              CMP   Okay, you want to take a picture of it first?
                    Okay, POWER ... Okay, stand by. 3, 2, 1 -

02 18 41 59   CMP   MARK it.     POWER switch OFF.

              CDR   Say, Bob or Stu.

              cc    Roger.     Go ahead.

02 18 42 34   CDR   Okay, add - to ad to today. Not last night, but -
                    I guess the first night I was in bed - I definitely
                    saw some of these - because I had a hard time going
                    to bed, to start with - I saw some of the same
                    peripheral horizon-type things you said were not
                    the type of data you were looking for; but I also
                    saw a - some sets of the streaks. And probably
                    the one most imposing thing I remember is - and the
                    last one I remember before falling asleep - was
                    the fact that there was a very bright spot that
                    flashed right between my eyes like a very bright
                    headlight - like a train coming at you, only with
                    a flash. It's difficult probably to estimate the
                    frequency of any of those because I was in a -
                    sort of a sleep-hazy mode.

              CC    Roger.

              CDR   But then, as today, I saw some that flashed and
                    lit up the horizon and some that lit up peripher­
                    ally; and I guess, as you say, that's a different
                    kind of data, but I did see them there and they
                    impressed me.

              CC    Okay.    We got all that, Gene.

              CDR   Okay.

              CMP   And it might be interesting to know I've never
                    seen it before today.

              CC    Hey, Gene, we appreciate all the data. We were
                    just trying to make the data fit the curve; you
                    know the old trick.
