MUFON Follow-up on Knoxville sighting

Peter, I followed up on this case by contacting the FAA supervisor at McGee Tyson airport who could find no notes in the station logs for anomolies either by radar or reported by pilots or civilians during this time frame. Also, searching current available data, there were no satellites or orbiting vehicles that fit into this sighting as a possible explanation.

The witness is highly qualified and very credible, being a pilot and aerospace engineer(ret).The object(s) described were obviously at a great distance or were not distinguishable by radar.I am sending a sketch by the witness of the objects he saw. Thanks again for your cooperation and assistance. Mr.Kim Shaffer MUFON Tn.State Director www.mufontennessee.org
