Case description

On Sunday 19 August 2012 at 20:30, a witness saw 2 moving points of light in the sky. Their initial behavior resembled aircraft moving along the line of sight, and their color and brightness resembled airliner landing lights. The area near airports is frequently crossed by civil and military aircraft. The investigation therefore concludes that the witness probably saw an aircraft. The first UAP's final apparent right-angle turn near the zenith would initially seem incompatible with such aircraft, but the source describes this as a common perceptual illusion involving moving lights that go out at night. By the time of the investigation, relevant aviation records were no longer accessible for formal verification. The case is classified B: probable aircraft.
