OPERATIONS AT SHAW AFB, S.C. WAS CONTACTED AND IT WAS ASCERTAINED
THAT CNE SQLADRON WAS FLYING LOCAL FLIGHTS IN THE AIKEN-AUGUSTA
AREA AT THE EXACT TIME OF THE SIGHT ING. DUE TO THE SCARCITY OF
INFORMATION OSTAINABLE FROM THE OBSERVER I CONCLLDE THAT THIS IS NOT
A VALID LFO SIGHTING AND THAT FURTHER INVESTIGATION IS NOT
NECESSARY. I RESOLVE THE SIGHTING AS A CONENTIONAL JET AIRCRAFT
PERFCRMING LOCAL FLYING IN THE AREA OF THE SIGHT ING.
