OVERHEAD ACROSS DIPPER HANDLE AND INTO NORTH STAR X DESCRIPTION OF OBJECT

SIGHTED X THREE DISTINCT OBLONG GASEOUS PINK COLOR PRN LESS BRIGHTNESS
THAN A STAR PRN TRAVELLING IN WHAT WOULD BE DESCRIBED AS CLOSE FORMATION
CMM ECHLONED TO THE RIGHT FROM OBSERVERS POSITION AT AN ANGLE OF FOUR
FIVE DEGREES X THE THREE LIGHTS SO OBSERVED TRAVELLED IN SAME RELATIVE
POSITION THROUGHOUT SIGHTING PERIOD AND LIGHT INTENSITY OF ALL THREE
REMAINED CONSTANT X SHAPE OF LIGHTS WAS SLIGHTLY ELONATED SUCH AS CIGAR
SHAPE APPEARING TO BE ONE INCH IN LENGTH AND APPEARING TO BE SHORTER

IN LENGTH PROGRESSIVELY TOWARD THE END OF THE SIGHTING PERIOD

UNTIL DISAPPEARING COMPLETELY X RELATIVE POSITION OF THE THREE DISTINCT
LIGHTS TO EACH OTHER CMM WOULD BE ONE HALF THE LENGTH OF EACH LIGHT PRN

THAT IS THE SPACE SEPARATION BETWEEN LIGHTS PRN WOULD BE ONE HALF THE

m

LENGTH OF EACH LIGHT X THERE WAS A DEFINITE INDICATION OF JERKINESS
