COMMENTS: Sighting of object is reliable for it has been seen by more
than one person. Since the interview has seen the
object twice. It appears that the object can only be seen in
Thibodaux for no other reports have been received in surround-
ing areas nor can it be seen from Houma. We were unable to
detect any object on our radar. F FAA has an airway, (V-22)
could not confirm any scheduled aircraft at times of sightings.
