The above four objects sighted within a period of five to
six minutes. The objects were reported as appearing like a great star
of amber color. Weather storm detection radars and Rawinsond radars
were directed on objects but no contacts were made. These two types
of radars are not considered to be reliable for such tracking.
Five additional personnel reported objects and

in Florida who reporte operations during the reported hours.
