10. BRIEF SUMMARY OF SIGHTING Three evenly spaced objects, shaped like inverted umbrellas, traveling in single file, giving off light amber glow. No trail or exhaust. Crossed about one mile of sky in 30 seconds. Glow appeared "throb" at one time before object disappeared.
11. COMMENTS F-86 and CAP light planes rptd in area carrying specially designed lights to simulate movement of satellites satellites "30 seconds to cross a mile" is 173 ft/sec or 120 MPH, the general speed of light planes. The "throbbing" amber glow lends credence to a/c engine exhausts as may be observed from distance.
