q Sighting. In this case the lights were first observed when directl+ Uverhedd—
t moving in a north westerly direction. As in the first instance, the lights were font Se)
in a V-formation. Zecause of the better vantage point in the second sighting, he
the observer was able to had ee that the lichts emitted a rather diffused zlow iS Ue
