10. BRIEF SUMMARY OF SIGHTING White light with intensity 3 times magnitude of brightest stars appeared in western sky. Appeared to be a star but with a cyclic varying intensity.

11. COMMENTS Several witnesses reported seeing a strange light at different times over a period of several days. Investigation officials at Patrick AFB went aloft in B-47 and subsequently saw light reported by witnesses; definitely determined that light was on a jet airliner. Subsequent info received from the FAA reveals that a number of different types of anti-collision lights are being used on civil aircraft for experiment purposes. Characteristics of lights are same as reported by witnesses reporting UFO. Is established that objt was anti-collision lights.
