b. The second, less distinct photograph, shows an aircraft approaching camera
position, moving in right to left directicn. A low-winged configuration is visible.
A darker pattern, probably smoke, can be trailing the aircraft. A darker area
on the upper side left end is probably th ti-glare area in front of the windshield.
All of which suggests an aircraft configured similar to the T-39 Sabreliner used by
the Air Force.
