U.S. Jets Chase Strange Lights

UNITED STATES AIR BASE Northern Japan, Thursday Jan. 22 (UP) -- Strange clusters of red, white and green lights flying at blinding speed have been chased twice by United States jet pilots over Northern Japan, the Air Force said Wednesday.

The hurtling, rotating clusters were seen in the night of Dec. 29 and Jan 9 over northern Honshu, the main island of Japan.

"Frequency of related sightings attest to some unconventionnal flying object active in this general area," said an Air Force intelligence report on the Dec. 29 spotting, indicating the mysterious lights have been seen many times before.

"There are too many indications of the presence of something for the source's remarks to be considered an observation of nothing," it added.
