She saw !our Tfhite lights in the southeast quadrant, traveling slowly east parallel to the horizon and 6 to 8 de:rees above it, in a diamond-shap~d !ormation. "The sky was overcast, so that the lichts were diffused; at t.i.mes the lights at the front and rear ot the formation nashed bri~hter." They trere in sight for about ten minutes, and nere then lost in the thick overcast. As they moved away to- ward the east the lights became less brieht but di d not diminish in s:l.ze. lirs. quite certain that they could not be planes because of the intensity or the front and rear lights.
