'lhe description ot_ 1ltiple lights is similar to ~ observatio~ ot an aireratt retueling operation. Information received from the 8th Air Foree indicates .that a B-47 and KC-135 were enroute from the New England area to the "'speedway" refUeling area near central Indiana. These aircraft entered that area approximately twenty minutes after the time of 's sighting. Itis possible that they were over western New at the time of the report. The duration of the sighting was not included and a time motion sequence showing the relationship ot the six lights to each other waa not included in his letter. The weather included a mist or ground :fos and hish thin clouds. 1his weather condition adds to visual distortion or moving lights. It is not possible to positively attribute the sighting to the refUeling operation on the limited data presented. However, the description is similar to reports ot !mown retuel1ng operations. It is sted that this explanation along w1 th a Fozsm 164 be sent to Mr w1 th a request that he complete the :rorm should he :feel that this is not a plausible cause for his obaetvation.
