CONCLUSION 1. Aircraft (possible) 2. Astro(Arcturus) Arcturus was on an Az of 286 degrees and at an elevation of 10 degrees at approximately 1800 EST
BRIEF SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS Observers noted a star like object white in color traveling toward the northern sky. The object was moving about the speed of an aircraft. Upon disappearance the object was in the west. The initial sighting was of an object traveling toward the north. The object then made a sharp turn toward the NW and proceeded toward that direction for a while. The object then became stationary over the town of Smithtown which was west of the observation point. The object was not in constant observation.
The description is consistent with that of an aircraft observation. In regards to the observation of the stationary object in the west it appears that the star Arcturus was being watched.
