MAKING THE OBSERVATION. THE OBSERVERS STATES IT WAS LARGER AND
SRIGHTER THAN A STAR. THE COLOR OF THE OBJECT WAS WHITE WITH
ALTERNATING COLORS, THE WHIT LIG T APPEARED TO DIM AND THEN
mMZAPPEAR BRIGHTER EVERY THREE OR FOUR SECONDS. EACH TIME THE
LIGHT APPEARED BKIGHTER IT WOULD BE ACCOMPANIED BY A DIFFERENT
COLOR. THE WHITE LIGHT WAS ALWAYS ACCOMPANIED BY ANOTHER COLOR.
THE ORDER OF THE ACCOMPANYING COLORS APPEARED TO BE RED, GREEN,

ANY DEFINITE ORDER. THE OBJECT OBSERVED HAD NO DISCERNIBLE
FEATURES OR DETAILS AND NO SOUND WAS MEARD. THE BRIGHTVNESS OF
THE OBJECT FIRST ATTRACTED THE ATTENTION OF THE PILOTS. TWO OF
THE SIGHTING AIRCRAFT WERE ON A HEADING OF THREE FIVE ZERO AND
TYE OBJECT WAS OBSERVED APPROXIMATELY DUE WEST OF THEIR COURSE. |
AJOTHER AIRCRAFT WAS ON A HEADING OF ONE SIX ZERO AND THE OBJECT
A2PLARED ABOUT ONE HUNDRED TEN DEGREES STARBOARD. THE ALTITUDE
OF THE TARGET APPEARED TO BE THE SAME AS THAT OF THE AIRCRAFT, | ,
FORTY THOUSAND. THE OBJECT REMAINED IN THE SAME POSITION DURING :
THE OBSERVATION WITH THE EXCEPTION THAT IT SEEMED TO LOSE SOME
ALTITUDE AT ONE TIME. THE OBJECT WAS SIGHTED BY TWO F-8SD°S AND
ONE T=33, ALL THE AIRCRAFT WERE AT AN ALTITUDE OF FORTY THOUSAND
FSET. ALL THE AIRCRAFT ARE ATTACHED TO THE 4TH FIS. THE SIGHTING
JAS MADE AT TEN HUNDRED ZULU, FOURTEEN FEBRUARY, FIFTY NINZ. TYE
“IG T CONDITIONS WERE DARK. THE LOCATION OF THE OBSERVERS AT THE
TIME OF THE SIGHTING WAS FORTY ONE DEGREES, TWENTY MINUTED NORTH-

ALOFT AT THE TIME OF THE OBSERVATION WERE TWO MUNDRED SEVENTY

AT SIXTY AT TWENTY THOUSAND, TWO HUNDRED SEVENTY AT EIGHTY AT
THIRTY THOUSAND, AND TWO HUNDRED SEVENTY AT NINETY AT FORTY
THOUSAND. ALL OF THE PILOTS INTERROGATED STATED THAT THE LIGHT

WAS TOO BRIGHT. TWO RADAR SIGHTS

IN THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY WERE QUERIED BY THE PILOTS AND REPORTED
A NEGATIVE SIGHTING. THE RADAR IN THE TWO F-8$ AIRCRAFT ALL FAILED
TO PAINT THE OBJECT ON THEIR SCOPE. ONE OF THE PILOTS CHANGED HIS
HEADING TO TWO EIGHT FIVE AND STATED THAT THE OBJECT WAS IN A DIRECT
LINE WITH HIS COURSE. THE OBJECT SEEMED TO REMAIN STATIONERY AND
THEN WHEN ONE OF THE F-86'S LOST ALTITUDE THE OBJECT APPEARED TO
LOSE ALTITUDE WITH HIM. THE PILOT OF T3355 STATED THAT HE ALSO OB~
SERVED THE LOSS IN ALTITUDE OF THE OBJECT. THE RANGE OF THE OBJECT
COULD NOT BE ESTIMATED BY THE PILOTS COMPARED TO A RUNWAY LIGHT AT

ABOUT ONE HUNDRED YARDS.
