West German Defense Minister Georg Leber, whose office had prepared the report more than a year ago, lamely admitted that he had not got around to reading it and that indeed the Frankfurter Allgemeine article had "actually enlightened me."

A microscopic examination of photographic plates exposed on successive nights revealed a short, faint trail of light between the orbits of Saturn and Uranus; the object that made it appeared to be moving in relation to the stars that formed the background. Kowal promptly called Brian Marsden of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Mass., for help in verifying his discovery. Marsden, who serves as a clearinghouse...
