10. CONCLUSION Insufficient data for evaluation Possible reflection or actual observation of a bright spotlight shining upward and moving across the sky in a few seconds.

11. BRIEF SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS: Witness reported observing white object appear almost directly overhead, The object moved straight across the sky until it disappeared behind a bank of trees, then reappeared going straight across the sky except at a 180 degree angle to the first flight, disappearing and re-appearing, repeating several times before completely disappearing. The light never deviated from its set flight path, The object, moving at a very fast speed, appeared to be followed by a trail of light but I believe this effect to be the result of the great speed and the image retention of my eyes.

The late date of the report does not warrant an intensive investigation. The case is being carried as insufficient data because without more information an evaluation is not possible.
