II. BRIEF SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS

Witness sighted a bright red light moving SE from his position. Object then appeared to stop in mid air and reverse direction and move away at high speed heading towards the NE. No sound was heard.

The appearance due to standard aircraft lighting. The noise emitted by an aircraft would not be heard due to the strong surface wind at the 100 ft level blowing the sound away from the area. Many other aircraft reported over that area.

FORM FTD SCP AS O-329 (TDE)
