Many Officers Observe The Object

Many officers are now viewing the object. There is a lot of banter back and forth so it is difficult to determine who is talking. CD refers to the dispatcher, officer to any officer. A full clip of this selection is available in RealAudio format only. My apologies to those of you who need a wave file. It is simply too large for me to offer on this site.
