[STAMP:]

[HW:] A light doing acrobatics near Ocala observed for 15 minutes but did not gain on it. [HW:] Light rose and quickly disappeared among stars. [HW:] Almost immediately a second but white light was seen under the haze above Ocala. [HW:] This rapidly came toward them on collision course and pilots thought it was a sidewinder. [HW:] Light made a sharp "90°" turn and then disappeared. [HW:] Third part of observation came when they approached Miami / Palm Beach Channel at approximately "4:30 PM". [HW:] They were asked to make a "360°" turn. [HW:] Pilot thought he identified light but was not certain. [ILLEGIBLE] ONCE most significant part of observation was the "sidewinder collision" part. Pilots would probably not have reported total incident had it not been for the seeming near collision with light.

10. CONCLUSION Unidentified
