The only flying V formation I've seen lately was at the local Guitar Center.
But then again, the Flying V has always been associated with the UFO.
Hmm.

I was thinking maybe a good approximation might be the line
heading due south from Roosevelt Lake, and whatever the angle is
toward where the Moon/Pleiades were. Find the elevation of the
Moon at the time, then apply trig based on that estimated distance
to get the altitude of the birds. I've seen them pass at least
a thousand feet up over Anderson Mesa when organized in the, um,
flying V formation.
