10. BRIEF SUMMARY OF SIGHTING Objt of sighting was local area. Changes in color of light could be due to witnesses observing different light sources on a/c as its position changed. Witnesses probably observed a/c anti-collision lights and afterburner on alternate occasions, specifically afterburner, after a/c was to the SS. Wind direction, altitude of a/c, other could account for absence of noise in association with objt. h/c could appear to be stationary or moving at high speed. No sightings of unidentified objts on radars in area tend to substantiate fact that no unknown objts were in area. Fading of bright light fm afterburner as it was turned off and/or as h/c changed position could be reason why witnesses felt objt was moving at a speed greater than an a/c. There is no info in report which would indicate that objts was not a/c.
