It's brief and easy to read. Note that those two nights of observations were done with the assumption that car headlights were the cause of all the appearances of strange lights. Since they assumed "car headlights," that is where they looked on those two nights: Highway 67."<br /><br />. . .<br /><br />"We all make assumptions. I assume Mr. Connelly made only a cursory examination of the scientific paper referred to in his second link: 'Spectroscopy applied to observations of terrestrial light sources of uncertain origin.' If he had looked more closely, he would have noticed that the conclusions differ from what he assumed they were."Jonathan Whitcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04018842327380060917noreply@blogger.com
