Analysis and Conclusions: The witness is located in an area crisscrossed by
many airways, and there are many aircraft,both military and civilian, flying
over the area at all times. Although there were no acft from the local civil

or milit-ry fields in the area, it is possible that there was one in the

distance from one of the numerous fields in.this part of the country, The

colors reported are nivzhly sugcestive of running lights used on all acrt.
