11. BRIEF SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS Observers watched three objects in the sky for up to three hours and thirty minutes. The objects were not moving except in a square pattern. The main body of the objects was flashing various colors. One object moved across the sky from the SW to the NE. It had a 25 foot trail of blue light and exhaust. Observers reported hearing whistling, humming, and buzzing sounds during the observation. Observers compared the objects to stars, but the objects were flashing.
The description is consistent with that of an astronomical observation. Saturn, Altair, Deneb, and Vega were in the western sky during the observation period. Echo I was passing over 78W-45N at 050AZ heading toward the NE.
