l. We regret that because of the late date at which you reported
your sighting a complete investigation could not. be made.  It is
important that an individual report their sighting immediately to
the nearest Air Force Base.
2. It is necessary to know if there was any air activity in the
area that might have caused the sighting. However, the FAA
destroys all air activity records after thirty days. We did find
that there are several low level, high speed refueling routes in 2
the area.
3. Because we cannot make a comprehensive evaluation of your
DO DI T O/U sighting, we felt it necessary to classify your report as
Insufficient Data.
