    The latest update in the continuing sightings in New York and
    Connecticut have shown that for the past several weeks at 
    approximately the same time(between 9 and 10PM) every Thursday
    night a sighting has occured(which seemed somewhat convenient).
    
    Last Thursday night some light was shed on these recent occurances.
    
    A pilot flying over the Danbury, Connecticut area observed a pattern
    of lights in the sky and decided to take a closer look. As he
    approached, he overheard a conversation on his radio referring to
    a bogie and maintaining radio silence.
    
    Upon approaching the lights he discovered the cause of his visual
    observation. He noticed 8 aircraft flying in a circular formation
    using landing lights only. He identified some of the aircraft as
    a Cessna 210 (dual-engine), and some Cessna 152 and 172.
    
    At this time he realized that the bogie mentioned over the radio
    was none other than himself.

    How bizarre!  A deliberate group effort to create a UFO would have
    been very low on my list of ways to create this effect.

    This tactic has been used earlier during this extremely long series
    of sightings, but has only managed to explain very few of these
    incidents.
