TYPE OF OBSERVATION [X] Ground-Visual □ Air-Visual □ Ground-Radar □ Air-Intercept Radar 6. SOURCE Civilian 8. NUMBER OF OBJECTS eight 9. COURSE SE-NW 11. COMMENTS No distance moved included and it is assumed that disappearance was overhead also. The constellation Bootes was directly overhead at the time of the sighting, and has several bright stars forming a triangle, including the 1st magnitude star Arcturus. It is believed that the witness was looking at the constellation Bootes and that clouds moving across the sky gave the illusion of movement to the objects. 12.
