10. BRIEF SUMMARY OF SIGHTING [REDACTED] members of an amateur astronomy club observed 4 diffuse-like objects. Passed almost directly overhead. Reddish-yellow to reddish-orange. The shapes and no larger than Saturn as seen thru a refractor telescope. Traveled in a straight line in diamond-shaped formation. Appeared to be faster than Jet a/c. Moved from constellation Gemini to low on northern horizon in 20 sec. Witnesses described sighting as a hazy line which separated into the disc-like objects colored orange or blue-green.

11. COMMENTS Object has characteristics akin to those of fast a/c at medium altitude. Objects apparently did not possess any characteristics which were evaluated as threatening or as a cause of action by the area defense unit. Probable cause of this sighting was the misidentification of a/c lights.
