BRIEF SUMMARY OF SIGHTING One (1) round, red to green object, with a long exhaust, was seen at night for a period of six minutes (6). It appeared the size of a star. 11. COMMENTS Local AC&W Squadron tracking two (2) Baker-47 aircraft in area at time of sighting. Weather clear. Possibly the observer saw the two B-47 type a/c at a high altitude with a full moon shining on them. The contrails would account for the "long exhaust", the jets for the change in color.
