PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS REVEALS THAT PPG CHECKED WIND SHIELD FOR REFLECTIONS BUT COULD NOT ACCOUNT FOR SIGHTING DUE THAT CASSE^ FACT THAT MOON ROSE APPROXIMATELY I HALF HRS LATER MIGHT EXPLAIN SIGHTING DUE TO AN UNDETERMINED PARALLAX PHENOMEN NON REFLECTING OFF HIGH CLOUD LAYERS AT 20,@@@ FT. (SEE METRO PORTION) HOWEVER DUE TO LACK OF PILOT'S CONFIRMING HIGH LAYER AT 20,@@@ FT,^ UNABLE TO FURTHER EXPLAIN SIGHTING. INASMUCH AS ACFT WAS FLYING TRUE HEADING OF 057 DEGREES, STRONG POSSIBILITY EXISTS THAT CREW OBSERVED PARALLAX PHENOMENON OR REFLECTION OF MOON.
