from 2000 to 2100 1ocal time, 5 from 2000 to 2100 1ocal time, 5 operations operations e recorded by the orded by the
Tower. They were 3 air carrier and 2 civil itine These
flights were at a flights were at a low altitude while landings or take-offs were low altitude while landings or take-offs were
accomplished.
None of the air traffic controllers in the Tower saw anything controllers in the Tower saw anything
unusual. There were no unusual. There were no report reports received Airport Airport on these
nights about any unusual nights about any unusual objects. objects
We have no theories or explanations as to why an observer cre- re-
