in a manner similar to conventional aircraft. Searchlights from the St. Louis area
seemed to be following the unidentified lights. s about 2130

II. Discussion of Incident
ATIC made a check en local aircraft and found that there were many commercial
and rilitary flights in and out of St. Louis at the approxinate time of sighting.
It is possible that seacchlights from St. Louis picked up one of these aircraft.
The observing aireraft was l00 miles away from St. Louis which probably accounts
for the changing color of lights.
