Although scientists will be interpreting Giotto's data for months to come, Horst Keller, principal investigator of the camera team, announced some preliminary results. Halley's nucleus appeared to be 9.4 miles long and at least 2.5 miles wide, he said, and the surface, "velvet black and very irregular, with an indentation in the middle, like a peanut or a potato."

The helicopter carrying Burrows and co., who were covering a doomed U.S.-supported offensive into Laos to cut the Ho Chi Minh Trail, received a direct hit from enemy antiaircraft fire and plunged burning into the jungle.
