Odd Picture Seen By Woodland Amateur Astronomer
In Woodland, amateur astronomer Feetree photographed a star cluster with a homemade six inch telescope and captured a strange object that Sacramento astronomers could not classify. Miles described a smoky jet like trail resembling space travel rather than a nebula or comet. The image hints at an unknown phenomenon and remains uniden tified. In Watertown New York a 1000 pound cheese from Lowville was shown in the dairy festival square and later cut into pieces for sale.
