observations are also hard to interpret. What does he n1ean. when
says wa.~ 'not very interested''? Why did he take the video? Tt. is possible
!tom his own record of. his obse.rvation tha.t he was looking at the same lights as
the crew of MV CONOCOAST seen at azimuth 160°, although the later compass
measurement of tll.e light seen on the video could have been Venu11;!
Also, one should note that the Moon was just past Last Quarter o.n 4~h October,
rising at 23:36 BST on October 4 a.nd setting at 15:13 BST on October 5. This
wo1..tld ha.ve had the effect of 'washing out' all but the brightest stars. H this was
so then the bright stars Sirius or Ca.nopus might be candidates for these sightings.
Howevet.", if the sky was really clear I don't thiuk either of thf'~~e objects would ha.ve
fooled people who axe presumably all quite used to working a.t night and therefore
are quite fa.z:Wliar with looking at the sky. ··
I hope this has helped.
