to five hundred yards to tha east, and to the west

we noticad three to four srouos of Lisshts arranged

in ths sune manner, Tjese lights a peacsd to be five
to seven hundred yards to the west of the main group
over the highway. We stood outside ine car and o»served
these lights, which were stationary at first. After |
a short while we noticed that the group of lights over |
the highway Deegan moving north in the direction of

Fort jorth, Texas and we estimated the spead of thesa

ligiits to be 109 miles per hour or less. the two green

lights appeared to be moving to the north followed by

the red lisht. i+ looked at the group ef lights in

ths east. hey had also started to wove north toward

Fort wort:,. The group of liszhts on the west appeared

to be roving toward Fort Worth, but traveling at a

speed of aoproximately twice that of the group over

the highway. ie noticed that the gronp of lights to

tha east of the highway and to the west of the high=

Way appeared to be on a horizontal plans. Thess lights

cid not blink and resesmbled the lichts on a water

towar or radio antenna. As theses lirhts coved ayay

a sound reserbling an outboard motor trolling in tha

Cistance could be heard. (3 observed theses lizhts

for approximately five minutes and from our cbsarvae

tion, agreed that the distancs between the livhts in

each of the smaller triangles was ten to fifteen feet.

Knowing that several air fields were in the vicinity

of our Location, we did not introduce ourselves to

the man in the other car but drove on toward | aco.

The other automobile was a 1y46 or L943 ft lynovth coupe
