Jesse Rodriguez, night watch- n.an with Commercial Solvents Corp., reported four round lights. He said they started out in a 'Y' formation, stood still five to ten minutes, formed a vertical up and down position, then scattered toward the lake. Other reports were baaically similar. Sometimes it was a diamond- shaped formation, rather than the 'Y'. Some said the li~hts looked like stars. Othen mentioned a long fiery tnil." Added the Times-Picayune, 'The air route traffic ntrol center at New Orlean said the lights were simply aircr~lft from regional military basea on a routine Richard Hall writes: About 9:55 p.m., Jim Kincaid saw three motionlea lights as bright aa Mars from a parked car. Elevation about 30, below and to the left of the moon in the southwest. Observed for about a minutee- objects did not move, but 'twinkled'. At about 10 p.m. while driving away, Jim heard newscaat that hundreds of calla come in about oojects above downtown building. He returned to his original parking place and the objects he hrtd seen were gone.''
