Unless, of course, as some have contended, this sighting
represents a formation and not an actual object.

I seem to recall some part of this sighting went something like
an original set of points was seen, and another group joined that
set of points.

It seems to me that both the Belgian and Hudson Valley sightings
have a number of cases where formations rather than single
objects may have been involved. Certainly, one can make no
definitive statement unless the witnesses specifically attested
to a lighting situation which allows them to see an intervening
object, and the observation of appropriate surface details in
that situation.

Am I correct in recalling that this was not part of the testimony
of the witnesses who also saw the F-16s?
