REVARKS : ARCRAFT COMMANDER - IN MY OPINION, THE FLASHES APPEARED TO
BE MADE BY A PHOTO APPING OR RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT OR SATELITE.
FIVE FLASHES APPROX 20 SECONDS APART WERE E OBSERVED. SPEED WAS
ESTIMATED AT 50OK IF OBJECT WAS AT 40, DOD. HOWEVER, WE DID NOT
LOCATE OBJECT ON OUR RADAR - AND IF PICTURES OF THE COAST WERE
BEING TAKEN, THE OBJECT WOULD HAVE HAD TO BE MUCH HIGHER AND
TRAVELING AT A UCH GREATER SPEED.
