Are you saying, Ted, that there were typos involved in the dates
of that report from Peterson AFB?  In particular, in its sentence
that reads:

"The Russians launched a SL-12 (Proton) four-stage rocket booster
from the Tyuratam space launch facility at 3:49 p.,. EST on Nov.
16."

And in the sentence that reads, "The USSPACECOM Space
Surveillance Network (SSN) tracked the rocket and boosters
throughout the first three stages of launch, and observed,
recorded and reported an object re-entering the Earth's
atmosphere at 7:49 p.m. EST, Nov 16."

As you know, the sightings were on the 14th.  You seem to be
saying that this US Space Command Release of Nov. 29th contained
disinformation.  Do you mean that?
