11. BRIEF SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS Object looked like a distant aircraft landing light. It was in sight for three minutes and disappeared behind trees. Sky was hazy. Object was bright white with an orange spark like tail going on and off. Object looked like a satellite to the observer. Observer stated that the sky was full of planes.
Due to the hazy condition of the atmosphere it is unlikely that the object was a satellite. Object was probably an aircraft. The white and red flashing lights observed through the haze would have the same appearance that the observer describes.
