>    BECKLEY, W.Va. (AP) -- Sand Branch Road residents, state police
> and professional UFO watchers say they have no explanation for
> bright white lights that moved across the nighttime sky, converged,
> and then disappeared behind a mountain.
>    "It looked like two big headlights for a while," is how Gina
> Mahaffey described Wednesday morning's phenomenon. "Then it
> appeared to be one, and it moved.
>    "It didn't move constantly. It moved a little bit then would
> stop, and then it would move a little bit more."
>    Mahaffey's husband, Allen, noticed the lights while taking an
> early morning swim and notified police. Trooper John Ferda, who was
> dispatched to the scene, admitted he was startled when the call
> didn't turn out to be a crackpot case.
>    "I definitely saw it but I have no idea what it was," the
> trooper said Wednesday. "It looked like three flashlights real
> close together and it appeared to be moving. Well, it did move,
> from left to right."
>    Other troopers and a Raleigh County deputy also observed the
> lights.
>    Robert Gribble of the National UFO Reporting Center, a private
> scientific agency in Washington state, said earthly reasons can
> explain most sightings.
>    "Usually they turn out to be just plane lights ... or objects
> that turn out to be other types of aircraft," Gribble said. "But
> it would be very difficult to come up with an explanation for
> something like (Mrs. Mahaffey's description)."
