Case description

He had observed it for approximately 2 minutes. So we questioned him further about the one he had observed. He reported this to us. We could not determine if these were related to the light that was observed at 2110 hours. About 2300 hours, the D/F called again and said he had observed the light again and this time he said it seemed to be traveling at about ten (10) feet in diameter when it observed it again. This was flashed at 2245 hours. We flashed at 2219 hours and was identified as surface-to-air missile firing. D/F called and told us that sergeant had seen three (3) of the same sort of lights that had been observed earlier.

It appeared to be stationary or slowly rotating, and was flashing various colors as it was observed. As it descended, it appeared to stop and hover, then seemed to go out. It was observed for approximately 15-20 minutes.
