10. BRIEF SUMMARY OF SIGHTING Bright objects, round in "V" formation. Sighted almost directly overhead. Second observer saw only one light object and was unsure that it was anything except a star. No air traffic reported from local tower. Objects moved from SS to NW, disappearing in about 30 seconds.

11. COMMENTS No distance moved included and it is assumed that disappearance was overhead also The constellation Bootes was directly overhead at the time of the sighting, and had several bright stars forming a triangle including the 1st magnitude star Arcturus It is believed that the witness was looking at the constellation Bootes and that clouds moving across the sky gave the illusion of movement to the objects.
