			Sighting Reports Needed

Friday's scheduled Minuteman II launch was delayed several minutes,
allowing it to occur after sunset in much of California. This resulted
in an impressive light show during the actual launch. The aftermath
was also visible in the sky. It lasted for several minutes and was
truly impressive.

If you saw last night's launch, or it's aftermath, and live outside of
California, I'd appreciate it if you'd send me a sighting report by
e-mail. My address is [email protected].

In your report, please tell me your location and exactly what you saw.
