lights remained right wing and appeared to alternate leading each
other. At one time, the lizhts appeared to turn toward -124. The lights
were visible until the aireraft sighted Azores.
All other knowm aircrart in the area checked with the tower and
asked to blink their lights. Each aireraft either located or it was
established that they were teo far away to be seen. Surface vessels wers
also checked but none were in the area.

Comments
The only possible explanation is another aircraft or some light phenom-
enon. The possibility of other aireraft is slight slight because no aircraft cam
in to land in to land behind the C-124 and and very very Low Lan aircraft overfly overfly the Azores. In
addition, all all aircraft aircraft flying in in that area keep area keep their their position known position known to the
Air Force 80 they can can be be alded in ir. gency The only only other possible air-
ndlly tful.
Light phenonon possible since the right wing carrles light,
the "reflection off a vertical inversion* could have been the cause. However,
phenomenon the sighting cannot be
attributed to this.
