Duration:3 minutes Two lights seen traveling from southwest to northeast over my location in Georgia at extreme altitude. They appeared to be stars at first until the trailing object emitted a bright white light for about five seconds, then they resumed medium magnitude starlike appearence. They appeared to be traveling one behind the other, in a straight line, at medium slow speed but seemed to be at a very high altitude. No navigation lights were observed.

Duration:about 1 minute I saw a glowing, red object fly through the sky, slowly headed in a SE, then E direction.

I went outside to smoke a cigarette. After I finished smoking my cigarette, I decided that it was nice enough out to merit staying out there. I decided to lie on top of my car and look up at the sky to watch the clouds pass by. I sat there for about a minute before a saw a red light out of the corner of my eye. It grabbed my attention so i sat up to get a better look. At first, I dismissed it to just being a plane; I see a couple pass pay each day. Then, as I continued to watch it I realized it couldn't have been a plane because the entire object was red, almost glowing like a light. Then, I tried to say it was a a meteor, or some type of fireball, or a flare; but there was no trail of smoke left behind, nor was there a tail on the object. It was just an glowing, oblong figure. It flew at a relatively constant speed; a little too slow for a plane, though. It was high enough so that it was above some clouds, but below others. When I initally saw it, it was fl! ying from the north-west and headed towards the south-east. However, I lost this figure behind the clouds for a moment and when I regained sight of it, it appeared to be headed east; at least a 30 degree change in flight path. I lost it beyond the horizon shortly after.

I'm reluctant to call it a UFO just because I like facts and tangible proof. I wasn't able to clearly see this object, nor was I up close to it. The I'm posting this report now is because it seems as though there is no other explanation. When there are planes flying overhead, I hear noise. There was no noise. It was too bright for there to be stars out. Plus, it was much to large and oddly shaped for it to be a star. It was moving too slowly to be a meteor or a fireball. And, there was no trail of smoke as there would be with a flare. As much as my logical, fact-based mind hates to admit it, I think this could have been a UFO.

The thing that really made me post this report, though, is perhaps the most unsettling thing. I came inside to research what it might have been and all that kept appearing in my search results were links to people talking about UFOs. I ended up on this website and decided to look at what other sightings have happened in my state. I came across a report in which the poster said they were on States Bridge Rd. near a subdivision named Double Gate. By car, I live not even 5 minutes away from that subdivision.

Duration:30 Seconds Black "boomerang" over Norcross, GA during thunderstorm.

On April 24, 2010, in Norcross, GA, at approximately 12:40 PM EST, I stepped outside my office to watch the start of a thunderstorm. To the northwest, I observed a fairly large, black object in the sky above the trees but below the cloud ceiling (3600 feet, according to my local FAA Fight Service Station’s data). At first, I thought it was a hawk, as they do sometimes circle above. But as it slowly moved across the sky, it became clear to me that it was, in fact, a solid boomerang or backwards-L-shaped object. It had no lights and was silent (at least to my ears), and it didn’t move like one would expect a gliding bird to. As I reported above, this was during a thunderstorm, so with the cloud cover, there was no sun or anything else I could use to give it scale, but it appeared to me to be at least as large as a helicopter or a single-engine plane. It was a solid, hard object, moving slowly and deliberately.

It moved in a wide, horizontal arc towards me, traveling from left to right in my field of vision, and began moving to the north/northwest, away from my location, and disappeared—possibly into cloud cover. One unusual aspect of this object was that the “boomerang” did not have a horizontal attitude like a plane, but rather a vertical one, hence the backwards “L” description.

In the interest of accuracy and full disclosure, I should note here that I am mildly nearsighted and wear glasses for driving. I was not wearing my glasses at the time of this sighting, and felt that there wasn’t time to go and get them. However, my vision isn’t that bad, and I stand by what I’ve described.

So, I immediately wrote down the details of my observation, and went to my computer to look up what to do in the event of a sighting of this type, and then called the local police who, in turn, sent two officers to speak to me right away. They listened to me but did not take a police report, and instructed me to keep a camera handy should the object reappear. I then called the Center for UFO Studies to make a report.

I should also put on record with this report that I’ve had a mild interest in the subject of UFO’s and have read about them and kept an open mind. However, I never expected to have my own sighting, and can draw no conclusions as to what it really was that I saw, except that it didn’t appear to me to be a plane, helicopter, or other known aerial vehicle. It did not appear to be natural phenomena, but it did appear to be an object of some kind.

Duration:30 Seconds Bright lighted object zigzagged quickly and suddenly moved upward out of sight in just seconds.

At about 21:23 March 19, 2010, I walked out onto my back porch to smoke a cigarette. I always keep my porch light off and my kitchen light off with only my dining light on. I also close the door almost shut to keep the smoke out of my house and so I can see the stars better. I often look into the sky at the stars which are very visible. I noticed a very large and bright white light coming in my direction. I noticed it zigzagging back and forth in quick changes in direction. I thought that maybe clouds may be causing the illusion of the zigzagging. As I watched it, I rolled my eyes off it on each side to make certain there were no clouds, there were none (was taught this by the military). All of the sudden the object moved upward out of sight very quickly. I could see the light go from very large to a tiny light to nothing at all but with a light trail behind it upward. Just to make this clear, I served in the Marine Corp and worked with UH-1 and Cobra helicopters both at night and during the day. I’ve been around the flight line both night and day with both rotary and fixed wings. I did not see a starboard or port light on this object, nor did I hear any noise coming from it. As close as this object was from me, if this were a fixed wing aircraft I would have surely heard the thrusters especially as quick as it went upward out of sight. If it were a helicopter, I would have heard the chopping of the blades and there is no doubt in my mind that a helicopter could not have climbed that quickly upward to out of sight in two or three seconds. The object was coming from the west with probably 15 degrees of it to the north. Almost as soon as the object excelled out of sight, a plane (jet) of some type flew over my location coming from the south west. I could hear and see the port and starboard lights on it. I’ve never seen or heard of anything with the kind of speed which I witnessed tonight. The use of "I: in this statement also includes my wife who also saw it

Duration:20 minutes 2 bright circular lights seen hovering at dusk in Barrow County, Georgia (Second sighting in 1 week)

Driving West at dusk on Highway 316 we noticed a bright white light hovering low in the sky (same object as report filed on 3/15/10). Stopped car to take a picture and look through binoculars and then continued driving on 316 toward the light. It appeared to travel slowly northwest.

We then noticed a second light to the South that was identical to the first and it seemed to fade and disappear. They both seemed to flicker and occasionally change to red and then back to white.

We will email photos to the address given below.

((NUFORC Note: The photo indicates a bright, star-like object near the setting Sun. We suspect that the object is Venus, which is quite prominent in the western sky at dusk, currently. PD))

2 females driving home from class at The University of Georgia in Athens, Georgia on March 15, 2010 at dusk. We say a low bright white circular light and drove towards it to see what is was.

About 15 minutes later we parked to observe the light and take pictures and videos. It remained stationary at first and appeared to change to a reddish color and then back to white. Then it started to move quickly in a zigzag pattern and slowly move away and get smaller until it disappeared below the tree line.

Duration:5 seconds Strangely behaving Light in the early evening

While driving on hwy 120 going from Discover Mills Mall towards the town of Lawrenceville, a light caught my eye which behaved very strangely. Firstly, it was not a dot of light. It seemed larger, and palely lit. It was circular. It went up like a flare, and behaved very much like that, however, this was clearly not "Fire." It was just a pale round lit up object. What happened next was what was strange. It shot off away from me and across the horizon like a meteor.

I’m hoping someone else saw this, and had a better look at it. I’m guessing there is a normal explanation for it, but the last time I saw something like this was a large meteor, and it was clearly just that, and had pieces of it coming of in the tail.

This behaved in a similar manner, but with no tail, or fire-like characteristics whatsoever. I only saw it for seconds, but it seems like it went up, then off in a different direction. Very strange.

The strange thing is me and my boyfriend were in a cemetery taking snapshots trying to catch anything “creepy” just for fun. We parked on one of the cemetery roads and my boyfriend says “look at those helicopters” We got out of the car to see what we thought were five helicopters flying up and at an angle in the sky. Almost at the same time we realized they all looked like they were on fire. I pulled out my camera and video taped it immediately. When we cam home I googled what UFO sightings look like because we weren’t sure. The first video we pulled up was the same exact thing we had seen but it was in Scotland two nights prior. I would really like to know what it is we saw. I dont know how to send the video it is too large. We have proof. The link to the Scotland sighting is:

the object flew at a slow steady speed over my house then flew over and in the far distance just disapeared..there is an aiport near not far from my house but the craft did not land or go towards the airport as it got far from the airport it then disapeared. never saw it again that night.it very could have possibly the black triangle aircraft but the back of it was hard to see because of the bright brillant lights.

this is my first sighting ever.seeing is believing.

Duration:3 seconds glowing red spaceship flys at car 500 Lights On Object0: Yes

It began with a flash of bright light in the sky. at first i thought a plane had malfunctioned, caught on fire and was falling out of the sky. But it started to curved towards our car. At this point, as if by magic, our car had shut off, including any lights that were in the car. Also, our friend in the backseat was thrashing around and mumbling some wierd language. If the ship had not have come so close to our car, i would have passed it off as a government test or somthing like that. But then the ship started to gradually speed up and change it course so that it was aimed directly at us. Our friend in the backseat was thrashing so violently now, the car felt as if an earthquake was centerd directly next to us. Suddenly, right when the ship was about to hit us, everything went white. I couldn't feel or hear anything besides a high pitched ringing in both my ears. It was like i was dead for 10 seconds. I can honestly say it was the scariest moment in my enti! re life. When we all came back to our senses, the entire car was extremely hot to the touch. The ship was gone but I can still remember the glowing red surface of the ship though. If you're wondering, the friend in the back was there, sitting straight up. He still isn't the same person he used to be.

Duration:2 secs Constant green light, flying south over Georgia.

Me and my sons saw a low flying green light traveling south and appeared to be flying, 300-600 feet. The light was constant (no blinking) and disappeared from view as soon as we reached a clearing in the direction it was traveling. No sound could be heard, though it was cold and we were traveling with the windows up.

Only the light could be seen, so a description of the object is unknown. Our background was a clear and cold night sky with a full moon in the 11:00 position.

Duration:5 minutes saucer shaped craft hovering above tree tops,multiple witnesses.

It was early dawn,as we had already seen strange objects prior to this one earlier that night me and my brother were looking out the window when I spotted a saucer shaped object hovering over some pines due east or at our 11,I asked my brother " what the hell is that"?,he looked in the direction I was pointing and got a visual on the object,his girlfriend was also present and I called to her to come look,at this point we were all hanging out the window in disbelief.I would like to mention we were on the second floor of a two story house that sits on a slight hill with a good view of the low lying land.

The distance of the object I would guess was roughly a thousand feet from our location and hovering about fifty to seventy five feet off the ground and just off the tree tops.It wobbled slightly and moved slowly from side to side.It had blinking lights on its side and at least one on top.It was a metallic grey in color.We continued to watch the object for about five minutes before it slowly moved out of sight.There was also no sound.The object was roughly seventy five to a hundred feet across.

Duration:30 minutes SPEEDING LIGHT ACROSS THE SKY

I let my dogs out of the house and walked to the North end of my front porch.

The night was clear and very cold.

I had a clear view of the sky.

A light caught my attention since it appeared to be a shooting star with it's light trail.

This shooting star came to a complete stop.

It was motionless for about 20 seconds and sped off in a verticle climb and stopped again.

It continued to speed off in different directions, leaving a light path as it did, and would come to a complete stop, wait for 20 to 30 seconds and speed of again.

The distance was extreme which made the speed with which it moved incredible.

The show continued for about 30 minutes and I had to return inside due to the cold.

Duration:2 minutes We saw definitively a black craft in the rough shape of a triangle, moving very slowly at a low altitude in silence that night.

My father and I were driving down the road heading towards an intersection with what appeared to be what we could only guess from a distance was a helicopter. I made a comment that the police must be looking for somebody because it appeared to have very bright lights, my assumption was spotlights. We got to the intersection and it still was it seemed maybe a 1/2 mile away still, so we took a left on our intended route. I kept watching it however and it was slowly moving towards us. After a short time it passed directly over the top of us. I turned the radio off and let me window down as my father opened the moonroof on the car and slowed. It was maybe 500 ft. up and moving VERY slowly, approx. guess would be 40 - 50 miles and hour, with ABSOLUTE silence.

As it passed we could vaguely see the outline of the craft in the dark sky, which we can only describe as somewhat "stealth-like" and in the rough shape of a B2 bomber. It had a very bright light on ! the front of the craft (or at least the part that was in front) and a light on each other corner. All were white. It did not spin or move off course in any way, almost appearing to have been fixed in its course, but once again, in dead silence and a constant speed that could have easily been kept up with in our car without breaking any speed laws. It was very dark, I could only guess black.

November 12, 2009 My dad and I were driving in Atlanta, GA (Dunwoody to be exact) when I spotted something blinking orange and white in the sky. I knew it couldnt be a plane because several planes flew by and looked much different and closer to earth.

The blinking object was making strange patterns across the sky, before zooming away super fast and was gone altogether. Nearby we thought we may have sighted two fainter blinking objects as well. They all seemed to vanish at the same time.

Tonight, October 20, 2009 at 9:00 p.m. I was driving east on Hwy 54 from Peachtree City to Fayetteville. GA. As I was passing Fayette Piedmont Hospital, I saw a large pulsing orb - blue/green (turquoise) - high in the sky out my driver's side window. It was hovering in the sky, then it became very bright (still blue/green) and decended straight down - vertically - and dropped below the tree line. This was not a shooting star - there was no trail and it did not shoot across the sky. It decended straight down vertically like an elevator. The light (orb) appeared to be larger than any plane, helicopter or star I've ever seen in the sky at night.

Duration:10 minutes sudden light appearing in the southern sky

Looking from my back porch which looks due south a light appeared at approx 30 degrees in the southern sky. It was extremely bright and it was like someone flipped a switch and suddenly it was there. At first I thought it was a planet but the sun was rising in the east and at that time my wife noticed that it was moving due north toward us. I have a 12 power rifle scope that I bird watch with and I tried to look at the object through it. It was so bright it hurt my eye. A few seconds later the object made a sudden turn toward due east and I watched it fade away in just a few seconds. There is the possibility that it was an aircraft at high altitude but I do not believe that an aircraft could turn so suddenly. Also it seemed to be moving extremely slow though it may have seemed that way if it was flying towards us. End of report.

Duration:2 minutes I just seen something that was magical

Wow. I'm speechless now as I sit here. I don't even believe in stuff like this. But about 17 minutes ago I just seen something that was almost like it was magically. I went outside to smoke a cigarette like I always do before I go to bed. I look at the sky alot because I am interesting in astronomy. I look over to the right side of the porch and through the trees near the river I live I see a bright blue light.. Well I ruled it out not being a air craft because it was moving back and forth over and over again really fast. i ruled it out not being a shooting star because it was just hovering. I ruled it out not being a planet because I know what a planet looks like. I don'tknow what it was. I went inside to tell my mom and sister and when I Came back out it was gone.. I looked all around where it could have been and it wasn't there anymore.. Idk what just happened.. It was like something out of a damn sci fi movie.

Duration:10 seconds Close viewing of disk-shaped ufo with colored lights

At 4:30 a.m. October 1, 2009 my nine-year-old son woke up and went to the bathroom. While still in his bathroom he heard a vibrating hum outside, then went back to his bedroom and looked out the window. He saw within 20 feet of his window an object hovering slightly up and down, holding a position between our house and a wooded area approximately 100 feet away from our house. The object appeared to him at this close distance to be approximately as wide as his room, about 12 feet wide, and approximately 5 feet in height.

The object was shaped like a flattened football with a dome on top. My son said if looked down on from above the object would have been shaped like a circle. The dome appeared to be made of green glass. The object was colored all black except for a pattern of three sets of square-shaped lights on the side which alternated flashing lights of green, blue, and red. The object appeared to be disc-shaped, but the left and right edges, from his perspective, had blue lights that glowed continuously and did not flash. The object hovered there for a few seconds and then moved slowly up and away from our house.

The sky was clear and not raining. Behind the object was a dark background of dense trees. My son's window is approximately 15-20 feet above our basement patio, and my son said it appeared to be close enough to be partially over the patio. The patio extends out from the side of the house approximately 15 feet.

I awoke when I heard my son opening and closing doors in the hall when he was going to the bathroom. I heard him speaking to his younger brother for a few seconds, and then he came to my bedroom and told my husband and me what he had seen. It was then that I checked the time and it was about 4:35 a.m. My son was afraid, but calmly related what he saw. Later this morning after breakfast I asked him with nonleading questions to describe what he saw and to draw a picture of it. He described the incident the same as he described it at 4:35 this morning, and the picture he drew matches the description of what he described verbally.

My husband and I were driving at approximately 10:15 p.m. when looking toward the moon in the southwestern sky, I saw a circular orb of dense light falling relatively slowly straight toward the ground. The light was a light greenish white. Possibly a white center with a thin ring of green on the outer edge. There was no tail or trail. There was no smoke. No crackle. Did not appear to be any sort of debris. It was fairly close, I'd say within a 1/4 mile from where I was traveling in the car. Or it was extremely large. I lost sight of it when it passed below the tree tops.

Shape: Light
Duration:5 Minutes (apporx) Orange lights, smoke or fog.

At 3:56AM I woke up and glanced at the digital clock on the night stand. I picked up the remote and clicked on headline news and propped my head up on two pillows.

My patio faces a southern direction. There is glass paned door onto the patio off of the master bedroom to the left of the bed. Looking at the television, the door is reflected in the mirror on my dresser.

The weather had been stormy but was quiet at this time. Directly behind my home there is a small protected wetland.

While watching the news I became aware of a bright orange light, past the patio, illuminating the glass panes on the door. I first saw it through the reflection on the mirror. I turned and looked at the door and could see it at an angle through the door as well. I looked back toward the mirror as the view was more directly at the door and saw clouds of smog or fog drift in front of the orange light. Both the light and the smoke disappeared briefly and then only the light reappeared for a few seconds and then it was dark as if nothing had happened. At no time was there any sensation of heat and there was no sound. The smoke/fog first moved upward, and then from left to right.

I have never seen or experienced anything like this. I did not feel fear. I thought to myself that it might be a premonition of a fire but the dismissed the thought. Oddly at one point I thought I should get up and look out - but then decided I didn't need to worry about it. Very strange.

This morning there was nothing outside that looked amiss. An internet search did not find any others reporting a similiar incident at the same time although there was a rocket on the east coast that caused some odd lights, but that is too far from me to be related. There did seem to be a pattern of orange lights and crafts reported in this state.

While I have no idea what this actually was, I feel compelled to report it somewhere, that it may be important.

Duration:35 minutes Dancing lights (star-like) above atlanta, fast, erratic, playful, above clouds, 35 minutes

Ironically, after our media registration for Dragon*Con, I received a call from my intoxicated significant other, claiming there were lights "not moving like planes! what ARE they?!?1" etc etc... As a mechanical engineer, and a long-term skeptic, I promptly rushed to her aide, understanding that she was entranced by satellites or mesmerized by underlit bats.

Much to my surprise, at my arrival at SunTrust plaza, located at Peachtree & Baker, I watched as what appeared to be stars swirled and danced, diving into one another, playing in my indigo southern sky.

The lights that differed from stars only in their locomotion and lack of twinkling, were clearly above the cloud level, as they frequently would dim or disappear behind the occasional lazily passing cumulus.

I can find no rational explanation for these playful sources of lumination. From aircraft to projections, from critters to carefully-mounted LEDs, my scientific mind boggles at the concept. They would rush from one end of the sky to the other in seconds, turn back, swirl curved paths, and even hover on the spot.

Duration:30 Seconds Two objects over north GA emit strobes then moved away.

Conditions: Very clear night, no clouds, very little light pollution.

Details: As I often do at night, I was sitting in the hot tub looking up (usually looking for satellites or meteors). I noticed a bright double strobe of light in the N-NW sky about 80 degress in altitude. I dismissed it as nothing but kept looking at the "star" in which it originated. It double-strobed again. About 2 seconds later, another object about 10 degrees away to the south appeared to give a "reply" double-strobe. Both objects were stationary and had a magnitude of about 2.0 when not flashing. Immediately, both objects started slowly moving toward the SE. The lights faded to dark within 10 seconds and I didn't see anything else. The amount of distance covered when both objects faded to dark were not consistent with normal satellites moving into the earth's shadow. This means that the object's light source was not created by the reflection of the sun at that altitude. I assume the altitude was very high since none of the stars in the direct path were eclipsed by the ! object. At the presumed altitude, the objects went from a standstill to the speed of an orbiting satellite in under a second. I have no other supporting information of this sighting nor were there other witness.

While out having dinner, seated on the patio of a local restaurant, I saw an object shaped like a circle with a ring of circular lights underneath floating above the tree line. I asked my friend to look, and he too saw the object in the distance. I looked like the object would have be directly above 5th street near Piedmont Ave, but from our view was still close enough that we were able to clearly make out the shape, individual lights underneath, and the color of the lights was white with a slight bluish hint. It moved in a fluttering pattern like a feather would if you drop it. We watched for a couple seconds until it eventually drifted out of view behind some trees.

Other people would have had to have seen this object as it was just a little after 9 PM on a Saturday in central Atlanta. Tons of people were out and about.

Duration:10-15s A star-like object that moved rapidly and erratically in a clear sky, then sudden disappeared.

On Friday night, 7/24/09, I was staying alone at my country place near Kingston in NW GA, about 15 miles from the nearest metropolitan areas (Cartersville, Rome). It was a clear moonless night, so I hoped for some good night sky viewing (even though I’m no astronomer).

Shortly before midnight I went out to look at the sky, and easily spotted the Big Dipper in the NW sky, and Polaris. I happened to be looking towards an open space between some trees to the NE, at about 45 degrees above the horizon, and could see a number of stars though I couldn’t name the constellation.

Movement caught my eye, and I noticed a light that looked like a star (no apparent size, shape or color) which seemed to be moving with respect to the fixed stars in a 10 o’clock direction. At first I assumed it was a distant airplane, although its angular speed seemed large for the apparent distance, given that I heard no sound. What first startled me was that after a few seconds it suddenly changed direction by more than 90 degrees with no apparent curve to its trajectory. A few seconds later it started moving erratically (like Brownian motion) at high rates of angular velocity; then it almost stopped at a point about which it jittered rapidly (like a laser pointer that someone is trying to hold still). A couple of seconds after that the light suddenly disappeared.

Up to that time it had been in clear sky (not close to the tree cover), and the nearby stars remained clearly visible just as before it disappeared. The whole event lasted no more than 10-15 seconds.

Afterwards I felt rather stunned, asking myself if I had really seen what I thought I saw...I couldn’t begin to explain it to myself. The object’s rapid angular movement, changes of direction and sudden disappearance made no physical sense. I waited, watching in the same direction, for perhaps 5 minutes but saw nothing more of an unusual nature.

I am 60 years old, with a BS in Physics and have worked in engineering most of my career. I’m not a religious person or a follower of any sort of cult or even interest group. I simply perceived an event in the sky like nothing I had ever seen before, which appeared to have no rational explanation.

It had seem to be moving in sporadic movements. then it had started moving across the sky in a zig-zag pattern and started blinking. Then on the other side of the sky we had saw another object just like it and they moved towards each other. Then when they had met they started to circle around each other and things had started breaking off of it in all directions. Then both of them had slowly dissipated into the sky. And a few moments later an object that had seem to be "invisible" but still noticeable had 3 lights and was HUGE and moved across the sky and disappeared into the lights emitting off of shops and other things in the city.

Duration:1 minute Very shiny cigar shaped object north of Smyrna, GA around 2:50 pm.

As I was headed east on South Cobb Drive, approximately 2:50 pm, I came to a red light at the intersection of South Cobb Drive and Spring/Concord Road. I was probably the fifth or sixth car in line. The light had just turned red so when I came to a stop, I just started gazing at the surroundings. I noticed what I thought to be a plane north of where I was heading. At first, I was intrigued at how shiny this "plane" was. It was so chrome that it was reflecting. As I sat there staring at it, I noticed that there was no rear stabilizer. Just a chrome cigar, sitting there. I turned to see if traffic had started to move and it hadn't, so I turned back to the object and it was gone. Just like that! I looked all around to see if I could spot it but there was no sight of it what so ever anywhere. I kept searching, hoping to find but the person behind me started blowing their horn because traffic started moving again. That's when I thought to myself if I was seeing a UFO, so I came home and found this website to see if anybody may have posted something so I wouldn't think I was nuts. Sure enough, there is a posting on the second of June of a sighting in Canton, GA around the same time, although that is described as oval. this may have been, I don't know. What I do know is that is was long, very shiny and if I had to scale it, I would say that it was roughly about an inch and a quarter, maybe and inch and a half in length from where I was sitting. Amazing. I will try to retrace my steps around the same time tomorrow and see what happens.

Duration:20 seconds Piedmont Park: Circular UFO with Blue Lights!

We were on our way for dinner, and while on the 10th street near Piedmont Park my sister-in-law pointed out what we are quite sure was a UFO. We could see it clearly through the left-back-seat-window, as it wasn't very high. It was moving around quite fast, though smooth and steady enough for us to see that it was circular in shape, and had numerous blue lights on the bottom. Furthermore it seemed to be of greyish/silverish color. It was headed for the opposite direction, so we couldn't see it for long and make a video or even attempt to follow it.

It is quite unbelievable to us that we may have seen a real UFO. We have considered many "normal" explanations including: fancy spot lights, though if that were the case, we should have seen a beam of light under it, which we didn't; Likewise even a UFO remote control toy: I have seen a remote control UFO toy, though I am sure it couldn't move around as fast, or over such a long distance in such straight strokes, besides be able to fly over buildings! Plus it wouldn't be able to support the extra weight of the blue lights. We tried looking around on the net if anyone else had seen it, because there were many people in cars around, and some even on foot. Who knows maybe some security camera around there filmed it, hopefully!

These planes appeared to be escorting the objects. After about ten minutes a group of planes appeared and 2 of the objects broke off and came directly towards us. As they got close, we could see a haze around the objects and would look like a round object with a light in the center.

They were about 10 ft above us, and as the shifted away, a cloud or fog started forming and covered us. She ran and I don’t know how much time went by, but I could smell a strange odor. I still don’t feel right, my legs hurt and I feel strange. My stomach is upset and repeated trips to the restroom. I do not want any kind of media coverage, I want answer.

Duration:1/2 hour Savannah Morning Possible UFO

In the horizon, there was an object that emit a strong light as it seemed to be moving upward. The object's illumination was similar to a space rocket from a far distance except the object seemed to be accelerating at an unusually fast pace. The object seemed to fly a circular path before coming down to a similar height it took off from, except the landing site was a bit to the right. The object then proceeded to hover from left to right, giving no evidence of increasing its altitude (and at irregular speeds, sometimes it would move faster to the right then left and vice versa). This continued on for 15 minutes before the object stopped. This was when the shape of the object became clearer. The streak of light seemed to possess a spherical center with trails of light both above and below it. The trails of light seemed to contract into the sphere and extend back out periodically. This happened for another ten minutes before the object stayed still. Within 5 seconds of it stopping, rain began and the objected became less visible and dissapeared. The rain stopped and the object seemed to appear again with another just like it except with a darker shade.

I was walking my dog when suddently something aluminated the concrete floor, which caused me to look up at the sky. When I did, thats when I saw an orange shaped sphere skipping quickly across the sky. My dog was also acting strangly, by all of a suddent, becoming very quiet and still like a statue.

Duration:five minuets Saturday April 04/2009 around 12:30 pm - Atlanta Georgia. Weather clear, sunny, and blue sky's.

While working in the yard (north side) I was watching two commercial jets as they were flying over the Atlanta / Marietta area, at a (high altitude w/ com trails) clearly not local Hartsfield traffic.

I noticed a shiny round / spherical object at a higher altitude then the two intersecting commercial jets. The object did not appear to be moving a first but after observing it for a moment or two I realized it was tracking very slowly from north to south/west.

After a few minutes I went for the binoculars and was only able to view it for a moment before losing track of it. I could not tell any details other then realized it was larger and still metallic looking.

30Mar09, 9:47PM, an adult male resident of Martinez reported that, using a night vision monocular, he observed a light brighter than the stars, but star-like, traveling W to E over a tree-line at about 20°.  Additionally it covered 1/5 of the sky in about 5 seconds and at about 60° made an extraordinary 'U-Turn' in about one second.  Witness watched as it retreated back along it's approach path, duration about 15 seconds.  ASD Dave Marchant is investigating.

16Mar09, evening, an adult female resident of Cartersville reported observing a very bright light, described as both star-like and as a "fireball", descending in a generally eastern direction from about 40°.  Furthermore it traveled in a slow precise way taking about 10 minutes, leaving no train, and was observed to vanish behind some trees as if making a "soft landing".  FI Joe Alexander was immediately working on this report.  We sent out a Georgia FI's alert in the event any local ground search was found to be necessary. We appreciate all of the responses of 'ready to roll' if it was needed.

20Mar09, 3:05AM, an adult resident of Rome was driving home (I-75 to Hwy. 41, then Hwy. 411).  In the vicinity of the Floyd/Bartow County line he observed  a circular yellow light in the sky that accelerated to an amazing speed and vanished within 3 seconds.  The witness did not describe direction or other particulars in the initial CMS report.  SSD/FI Joe Alexander is assigned.

19Mar09, 2:45AM, a duo of truckers near Fairburn reported a huge, slowly descending, silent fireball with a long blue/white tail.  An obvious fireball meteor.  This is believed to be the same fireball that was heard to make a sonic boom and also observed in east Georgia during the same time frame. 

19Mar09, an adult female resident of Martinez reported a 1975 family observation of a large group of high altitude red star-like lights performing chaotic aerobatic movements over St. Simon Sound or the southern portion of St. Simon island.  This is another good example of those mysterious and oft reported 'chasing lights'.  This witness was found to be a highly credible professional that, along with ASD Dave Marchant, sent along additional info on the east Georgia fireball described above.  Thanks Dave and Ms. Witness!

17Mar09, 8:00PM, an Augusta area business owner and his associates reported observing 5 orange/yellow spherical lights clustered at about 40° in the western sky slowly dimming as the witnesses watched for 8-10 seconds.  These lights then seemed to be gone, but then re-appeared within a few moments further away.  One witnesses stated this appeared to be the same type of aerial display he'd observed the week before. Please note that the Coastal crew has been investigating  similar east Georgia events these last few months and are looking at this one too.

8April09, 7 to 7:30PM, an adult male resident of the Covington area and his brother observed a bright white aerial light at the stage of dusk when the stars are not yet readily visible. While watching, they observed "white lines" projected out of the light/object at different angles, and then apparently retracted back inside.  This went on for appx. 20 minutes with some "lines" projecting out further than others.  Eventually an aircraft flew through the area and the light/object accelerated to an extreme speed, arching upwards until it vanished.  After the AC passed, the object returned to it's previous position and continued the same activities as before.  Witnesses were able to get a phone photo and brief video shot before going inside.  About 9:00PM, upon checking the sky again, the object/light was gone. 16April09, the Primary Witness phoned this writer and stated they were both anxious to meet with our investigators.  SSD/FI Steve Bass and Cynda Schneider are assigned.  Please note.........a remotely similar Georgia case was reported in 1995.  A reliable witness in Chatsworth/Fort Mountain reported that a domed metallic teardrop-in-profile shaped craft appeared near his overhang patio during daylight, and this is within just a short distance of the cliff-face.  Hovering, he watched as a hole opened up in the fuselage and strip-like appendages were exuded in a semi-360 spread from the hole, as if still connected inside the hole.  Thus began an action that he compared to shiny decorative Christmas-tree icicles being blown by a powerful fan.  This action ceased and the object vanished.  Some of this observation was made through binoculars even though it was close to the patio.  Members who have browsed our case sketch-notebook at meetings have seen the sketch of this witness.........it's very good. 

Georgia : Past Reports

2Mar09, night, a couple from Ohio was en-route from Sarasota to Atlanta on an AirTran flight.  At about 30,000 feet they were looking at normal ground lights when they observed what they called a bizarre light configuration.  This ranged from a small circular light to a moving "splash" of illumination, moving and changing at random, but believed by the witnesses to be on the ground.  They also considered lights from the aircraft playing along clouds, but stated that the sky was clear, other passing aircraft and stars being visible.  FI Joe Alexander is checking out this report. 

2Mar09, 7:30PM, Macon an adult male resident of Stone Mountain was driving west toward Macon on I-16 from the coast.  His brother, a soldier stationed at Hunter AAF was also along.  In about the the Metter/Vidalia vicinity they observed a bright white light in the sky to the NW, their general front, at about 45°.  Described as larger than star-like, stationary, pulsating, observed for about one hour as they drove.  Eventually is appeared to turn red and vanish.  The 'usual celestial suspects' were generally behind them as they drove, but Venus would have been toward their front at about 20° at 7:30PM.  ASD Dave Marchant is to speak with the witnesses. 

15July08, 1:15PM, Macon - an adult male resident of Macon reported that while westbound on I-16 adjacent the downtown area, he observed a metal-like egg/crab shaped craft floating over a building.  Further that it had no wings or obvious propulsion unit, but leg-like structures extending around it's body.  Duration was about 15 seconds, then he had to negotiate traffic and when looking again it was gone.  Few other details were given.  FI Jason Fonzo was assigned to contact the witness for further scrutiny. Advertising balloons will also be considered in this case.  Please note that about a decade ago, a similar report was received from the north metro Atlanta area near I-285 when a citizen was in an attorney's office giving a deposition and a small aerial craft was observed by the witness, the attorney and the court stenographer, moving around a nearby office building. 

5Feb09. 9:28PM, Covington - an adult female resident of Covington reported that she had observed and videotaped multiple colored orbs flying to and fro while changing colors.  On one occasion a "horse-shoe shaped" light was observed.  FI Cynda Schneider has contacted the witness and is awaiting the witness to advise on a meeting date. 

7Feb09, 6:00PM, Dacula - an adult couple from Dacula was driving on Hwy 441 on the northern edge of Athens when they observed a silent massive glowing white light fly overhead from W to E at about 40°, then downward toward the ground behind a treeline.  Further description, head like quartz-crystal with a fuzzy white rear.  A large fireball/meteor could be the culprit here.  FI Jason Fonzo was assigned.  E-mails were sent to the local media and Clarke County PD seeking additional reports from the public. 

11Feb09, Warner Robins - case forwarded from Texas CMS to Georgia CMS.  An adult male resident of the Warner Robins area reported that in 2005 he was on a flight originating in Texas bound for Korea, related to his military service.  He observed an unusual cloud configuration and decided to snap a photo.  Later, a large dark blimp-like object was found on the photo, the camera used being a disposable type. Witness has forwarded the photo to this writer.  Efforts to call the witness for additional case evaluation and the normal 101 photo evidence questions have proved unsuccessful.  Investigation continues. 

12Feb09-night, Atlanta - an adult resident of N.E. metro Atlanta observed a bright star-like light toward the west of which she took photos.  The light moved down and went off like an electric light, then came back on.  Venus or other celestial bodies may be responsible here depending on which way the witness was really looking.  FI Cynda Schneider was assigned to look into this report. 

12Feb09, 9:30PM, Blairsville - an adult male resident of Blairsville was crossing Black Mountain Pass on Zell Miller Pkwy when he observed a bright, larger than star-like, light to the WSW.  Adding it was large enough to display a spherical shape as it moved slightly to the south.  A celestial body has to be considered here, but further review seems to indicate that Venus had set beyond the horizon by 9:30PM.  FI's Mark and Leslie Moore will be contacting this witness for additional information. 

29Dec08, 8:00PM, Statesboro Georgia.  Witness believed to be a young adult male reported that unknown objects, saucers and unusual lights more or less invaded his neighborhood at extremely low level, many types, various maneuvers, dogs barking, neighbors shooting at them most of the night with shotguns.  Note: An event of such magnitude would have drawn a major law enforcement response as well as massive media coverage.  MUFONGA has received no inquiries of such activity other than this report and a note sent to Hqs. by the witness.  SSD J. McElveen of Coastal will be looking into this matter. 

5 and 16Nov08, Barnesville Georgia.  Adult female resident reports that she observed unusual aerial activity on these two dates.  5Nov, while cleaning gutters she observed a distant pink-orange metallic object fly from horizon to horizon in less than a minute with no sound.  16Nov while driving in the Barnesville area, she observed a large white light in the sky toward the horizon.  She made photos on both occasions, but did not provide full information and has not returned our phone calls. 

4Jan09, NE Atlanta/Dekalb County, afternoon.  A male resident reported that he and his wife had just parked in front of their office when he observed 3 grey/metallic objects in the sky against the overcast.  Size is estimated as like a grain of rice i .e. perhaps 1/8 of a full moon or smaller.  These seemed to be close to the underside of the lowest layer of clouds, floating slowly to the NE in unison, with a slight wobble.  Witness took a photo with his iPhone for CMS submission. ASD R. Howard established initial contact, but after 10Jan, the witness stopped communicating, and had earlier provided nothing but an e-mail address.  Using normal methods and under similar conditions, Ralph easily replicated a similar control photograph.  Ralph wishes to advise our FIs that such a submitted photo, unsupported by a reliable witness and the accompanying technical data, is worthless for our investigative purposes.  Ralph was prepared to meet the witness for a full field investigation. 

9Jan09, 7:15PM, Ball Ground Georgia.  An adult male resident had picked up his 15YOA son and was driving home.  They observed an array of three lights, bright white, dimmer white, and red.  These were moving in single file horizontally from S to NW and were observed for about 10-15 seconds before vanishing.  Witnesses drove around the vicinity looking, but were unable to relocate them.  From their viewpoint, and from the characteristics displayed, the witnesses had the impression of a large object, like a 747, seemingly silent and within 200 yards in distance and at about 1000 feet in altitude.  Shortly after, the witnesses stopped at a local store and encountered an adult student from the local school who had just been driving on Old Canton Hwy.  This 18YOA student related that he'd also observed a similar configuration of lights at what appeared to be less than 1000 in altitude.  Even in darkness, this witness had the impression of a large object, horizontally flat and perhaps circular, stationary over the town of Ball Ground.  This observation lasted about 30 seconds as the lights then slowly moved to the west and vanished.  This was an exceptional case with three witnesses, one being separate, observing what is believed to be the same event, their accounts being vetted by SSD S. Bass' excellent field investigation. 

14Jan09, 9:15PM, Leesburg Georgia. An adult female was walking her dogs when they ran out of the darkness and sat on her feet as if frightened.  She then observed a large brilliant white light with an orange halo fly from NE to SW at what she thought was a relatively low level about 300 feet away.  It vanished beyond nearby trees.  She estimated it was larger than the military helicopters she observes from the nearby Albany USMC Logistics Base. This writer contacted the witness by phone for a preliminary evaluation and to prepare for dispatching an FI later (there are no FIs in the witness immediate vicinity).  Witness was asked to also begin a sketch.  The next AM, the witness phoned back stating that she recalled something more, that the object was perhaps hovering when she looked around, and she may have walked toward it.  She was then instructed to focus on this additional memory, to document it in an e-mail and forward it to this writer for the investigation.  Later this writer did not receive the supplemental account, and phoned back to the witness leaving a message on her recorder.  She has not returned these phone messages to our 800 number.

 29Dec09, 8:00PM, Statesboro Georgia.  Witness believed to be a young adult male reported that unknown objects, saucers and unusual lights more or less invaded his neighborhood at extremely low level, many types, various maneuvers, dogs barking, neighbors shooting at them most of the night with shotguns.  Note: An event of such magnitude would have drawn a major law enforcement response as well as massive media coverage.  MUFONGA has received no inquiries of such activity other than this report and a note sent to Hqs. by the witness.  SSD J. McElveen of Coastal will be looking into this matter.

5 and 16Nov08, Barnesville Georgia.  Adult female resident reports that she observed unusual aerial activity on these two dates.  5Nov, while cleaning gutters she observed a distant pink-orange metallic object fly from horizon to horizon in less than a minute with no sound.  16Nov while driving in the Barnesville area, she observed a large white light in the sky toward the horizon.  She made photos on both occasions, but did not provide full information and has not returned our phone calls.

21Jan09, 8:00PM- McCaysville area, north of Blue Ridge in Ga/Tn state line vicinity.  An adult male college graduate, along with three other credible witnesses, one a scientist, made the following unusual night observation on 21Jan.  The Primary Witness (PW) received a phone call so moved outside for better reception.  While talking he observed an unusual light in the western sky.  He got his binoculars and continued to observe, calling his parents for their opinion.  He then quickly proceeded to a nearby church where the view was more panoramic. At that point, assisted by his uncle, a telescope was erected and observation continued.  The object/light was observed for about 2+ hours at about 26° during which it remained still, then it began to move off to the left of the PW.  Displaying a sudden burst of extraordinary speed it then reversed direction and in the manner of a meteor departed in a "split second".  This object was described as being circular with the top portion changing to a triangular shape, about quarter size (about 2½ full moons), hovering, with pulsations of the spectrum colors being exuded, especially red and green, with a yellow color flashing sequentially, while it seemed to be spinning. 

This was an exceptional event due to the number of credible witnesses and the duration of the occurrence.  FIs M. and L. Moore applied their deep scientific background in the measurement process and interviewing phase, thus eliminating the mundane possibilities and classifying this as an Unknown-UAV. An outstanding investigation.

23Jan09, 6:10PM, Savannah Georgia.  A U.S. Army recon specialist was driving in to Hunter Army Airfield when an unusual glowing blue/white to blue/green spherical object flew right in front of his vehicle from the NW traveling at a tremendous speed.  This object was observed to move upwards, stop, then accelerate to the SE, being lost from sight as it crossed the river.  Each acceleration was accompanied by electric-like trails.  This occurred within under one mile from the witness, his vehicle's cruise control shutting off and the engine "hiccuping", lights dimming as if the engine was shutting off.

Coastal ASD D. Marchant has met with the witness and found that his Army associates had recommended that he contact MUFON.  Note that this is the latest of several recent such events near or over a Georgia Army installation.  The others being at Fort Gordon near Augusta.  Dave and the Coastal crew have been compiling information on these events for several weeks now and as usual, Coastal is on top of things.

29Dec08, 9:19PM, near Adairsville (northwest Georgia) An adult male resident of Calhoun and a friend were driving west along Old Dixie Hwy. near 41 Hwy.  Witness had just checked his watch at 9:18PM and within a few moments a bright, fast moving glowing sphere flew over his vehicle traveling west (duration 3 seconds).  Witness stated that it appeared to be about 50-60 feet above ground level, silent and leaving no trail or train.  Coloration was white to blue-white.  Size described as about 1/4 the mass of the full moon.  Last observed passing over an adjacent tree-line still westbound.  Witness indicated he'd never seen anything moving so fast.  Adding that he lives in the vicinity of an airport and was accustomed to seeing all manner of aircraft at various altitudes and feels certain that, even for a night observation, the altitude was low.  Witness provided a well written account and proved well-spoken and cooperative, agreeing to meet at the event site for further investigation.

The law enforcement authorities (911 Centers) in both Gordon and Bartow Counties told this writer the same night that no other reports had been received, but would notify MUFONGA if anything developed.

Multiple Reports-East Georgia-17Dec08

17Dec08, Night, Hephzibah in Richmond County, Augusta vicinity.  A couple was outside using their spa when 3 unusual red star-like lights were observed in the southern sky.  Within a few minutes 3 amber lights were observed to hover and move around along with 6-7 other lights that seemed to be darting about the sky.  Thereafter the witnesses heard the sound of a large aircraft from the area of their airport and then observed something similar to a 'row' of stars flicker on and off and seemingly follow one another.  The local police department denied any knowledge, but a recent newspaper article had cited some military operations at the nearby Fort Gordon.  Additional case 17Dec08, same general vicinity at 6:41pm, Richmond County near Augusta; a motorist observed 4 star-like amber lights to appear in unison, moved apart and vanished.  Thereafter this was repeated in a different part of the sky.  Also on 17Dec08, a MUFONGA member near Augusta observed several star-like amber lights in the southern sky at appx. 30° elevation which placed them over Fort Gordon.  These lights demonstrated short range movements then faded away in 4-5 seconds.  This repeated with some variation over a period of minutes.  The witness had the impression that it may have been conventional objects.  Coastal Region ASD Dave Marchant is looking into these cases, having calls out to witnesses, the media and the U.S. Army.

29Dec08, 9:10PM, a Chatsworth area (north Georgia Highlands) adult female homemaker stated that she had noticed balls of light near her home in recent years.  She had made an effort to both photograph and video these lights in the past and succeeded on this occasion (one video clip and two photographs attached to CMS).  Witness stated that she had considered Iridium flares or space debris, but the lack of movement and length of duration gave her doubts.  The video segment offered a colorful flashing orb (using zoom) to the southeast that was made at 1:46AM.  She has since provided more information in a preliminary contact and the matter is being investigated.  Please note that on the night of 29Dec08, Sirius and Rigel were in bright evidence in the SE skies.  Investigation continues.

12Dec08, 8:30PM, an adult male resident of the Chatsworth/Murray County vicinity took an opportunity to photograph the moon while it was about 28% brighter/closer on that unique date.  Upon examining the results, he located a small sphere-like image on the photo that was near the moon's disc. This witness then went through several steps of evaluating his photo, doing an excellent job of determining what it might or might not be. He forwarded a copy to a photographer friend for some enhancements, later attaching both the original and the enhancements to CMS.  The witness' final opinion was that it was probably a photographic anomaly.  FIs Mark and Leslie M. of Blairsville also performed some work on the photo, with Dr. Maccabee later chiming in that it was in all probability a lens flare.  This was a concise CMS report from a good witness........whom we are pleased to say is now a new member of MUFONGA!  He had this case mostly wrapped up himself, but contacted MUFON just to be sure! Good work.

3Dec08, 11:00PM, an adult resident of Augusta Georgia reported a bright, rapidly moving, red/orange teardrop shaped object to pass overhead going east.  The witness would not respond to e-mail or telephone calls, but this was most likely a large meteor, perhaps of the fireball variety.  A fireball meteor was reported by the AMS over north-central Oklahoma, heading generally eastward, during that same general time frame.  However it displayed a terminal burst.  It's possible that other large meteoric materials entered above the southeastern USA during that time.

Late Report, 13Oct08, 9:15PM, Jonesboro.  A male delivery driver was proceeding down Jonesboro Rd. (few miles south of Atlanta) when he observed a very distant blue star-like light that showed some spherical shape.  The light flew downwards rapidly, then reversed direction and flew back upwards to vanish into a cloud.  The witness has since provided some more preliminary information, stating that the pattern observed was similar to a 'blip' on a heart monitor found in hospitals.  This event may have been as far away as 10-15 miles.

24Nov08, 8:35PM - Kingsland, Georgia. An adult male resident of Kingsland (Georgia coast), along with a companion, observed what appeared to be a fireball-type of meteor coming down from the NE to SW.  It appeared to be breaking up and finally 'burned-out' at a nearby treeline.  Within a few minutes the witnesses observed a glowing object that seemed to be dimmer than the fireball, but of the same shape.  This second observation seemed to be leaving the ground from the same vicinity and flying UPWARD at a high rate of speed to vanish after traveling about 40 degrees.  The witness said he had identified the first object as a fireball meteor from observing them during many past star gazing ventures, but was surprised by the second event.  Note: The 'fireball' phenomenon received it's first recent focus in the late 1940's when a more-frequent-than-ordinary series of these events occurred in the SW USA.  These drew the attention of the scientific community, as well a several observations by scientists themselves. Since that time, there have been numerous reports where such large meteors do not act in a natural way i.e. ONLY burning and breaking up in descent.  Nowadays, most of us have seen many such clips of fireballs on the various Internet sources and TV news or else during our Skywatches.  What has been described herein is certainly bizarre if it is NOT some mistaken observation.  Coastal ASD Dave M. is looking into this matter.

21Nov08, 9:00PM- Gainesville Georgia (above Atlanta). An adult male resident was outside for a smoke and through some nearby trees observed what appeared to be a silent craft of some sort with an illuminated tail, shaped like a standard aircraft, but somehow different.  Witness ran inside to get his fiance and upon returning, the craft was vanishing beyond the trees.  SSD/FI Steve B. of Cumming is to contact this witness.

23Nov08, 1:32AM - Leesburg (south Georgia, above Albany). An adult male resident was out looking at the sky and observed what he described as a "bar" (of light) approximately pinkie width flying between the constellations of Orion and Taurus, moving silently and quickly SW to W, duration about 5 seconds.  He indicated the apparent size as that of an aspirin, and having a misty/shrouded-like appearance.  Witness provided a very good sketch.  This writer will be working more with the witness to obtain additional details.

20Nov08-Evening - Darien, Georgia Two adult males residents of the Brunswick area were camping on the Altamaha River (SE Georgia, flows generally SE into the Atlanta Ocean near Darien, Georgia which is above Brunswick).  In the early evening they began to observe a series of tiny star-like lights passing in different directions and then vanishing (satellites moving into the earth's shadow?). About 9:00PM, across the river, they observed a disc or cigar shaped object that was "too distant to tell for sure", but appeared to be glowing orange to red.  Stated it was traveling horizontally just above the distant trees and would dip down, then come back up, vanishing after about 6 minutes.  FI Brion T. of Brunswick was assigned by Dave M. to contact the witnesses

24Oct08, 4:30PM Lawrenceville but reported 15Nov08- An adult male resident of Lawrenceville (few miles NE of Atlanta) alleged that he and his neighbor observed a cloud-like object (formation?) move from behind the house in a S to N direction at 15 feet in altitude, speed about 15mph, sized 25'X12'X10', teardrop or conical shape, displaying pale pinkish and blue opalescent shading.  'Cloud' moved about 60 yards to the cul-de-sac and vanished, duration about 4 seconds.  This writer spoke with the witness a few minutes after this report was received.  Please note that some 'special circumstances' were noticed during the conversation about this alleged event and this writer also asked Steve B. in Cumming to call this witness.

30Oct08, 8:20PM - Swainsboro (east central Georgia) An adult female resident of Swainsboro was taking her children out on All Hallows Eve using their golf cart.  Mother and niece were also along.  While on a residential street adjacent the golf course, witness observed a silent object just as it flew eastward and high over nearby treetops and quickly vanished.  Witness struggled to describe the event due to the objects strange shape, but stated it was shaped like a 'Pringle Potato Chip' edge-on, or the brim of a cowboy hat.  White lights were observed that seemed to "trickle like water" (flash sequentially).  SSD/FI Joe M. of the Coastal Region was assigned.

31Oct08, 8:30PM - Cataula (north of Columbus, west central Georgia) An adult male resident of Cataula stated that he was on an errand to a nearby store.  From the lot, he observed what he first thought might have been an aerial flare in the SW sky, perhaps from nearby Fort Benning.  Upon looking more closely, he found that it was in the completely wrong direction to be connected to the base. He continued to watch as he drove home, and said it was up about 45 degrees off of the horizon just stationary.  Upon getting closer to home, it dropped down in altitude and began moving among the distant trees, until it vanished.  At home, he continued to watch the area and there was no reappearance.  Witness provided a sketch and area diagram.  This writer spoke with him by phone in a long, extensive conversation and the witness seemed to be well spoken, and firmly established in his community.  Investigation continues.

31Oct08, 9:00PM - Roswell, Georgia. A juvenile male resident of the Roswell area (just north of Atlanta) reported that he observed an orange pulsating sphere while out for a walk.  SSD/FI Joe A. of Marietta attempted to contact the witness' parents, but they would not respond.  Classified as 'Insufficient Data'.  This same minor witness reported an event in 2007 without revealing his age and when contacted, stated he was mistaken, he mistook an aircraft observation.

Cartersville, 17May05, night, an adult male resident was sitting on his back porch talking on his phone and generally looking out onto another subdivision.  About 80 feet away over the roof of a house, 20 feet above, was a bright light first considered to be a distant aircraft.  Witness becomes rather unclear in his account at this point, stating something like it "zoomed by" and "ball of white flame".  SSD/FI Joe A. of Marietta will be looking into this a bit more closely.

Rockledge, 3Oct08 about 10:15PM. An adult female resident was returning from Athens and just entering Dublin (east central Georgia).  It had been raining a bit, and when looking to the right, she observed something moving through the air very fast and low, thinking it was an aircraft coming down.  She lowered her window to see more clearly as it crossed to the left, and noticed no apparent noise.  She saw a row of 6-8 green lights that appeared to be about the size of mayo jar lids, and they were flashing rapidly.  Witness came almost to a stop as these lights just vanished.  This event took about 6-8 seconds.  Later, her husband got information that an unknown resident in the vicinity of Hwy 199 had also observed a similar event.  ASD Dave M. of our Coastal Region investigated this matter and classified it as an Unknown

Lawrenceville, 25July78, daytime.  An adult male resident of Winder stated that he was at his grandmother's Lawrenceville rental house on business in 1978.  He walked around back and had an urge to look up.  In the clear sky he observed 2 oval-like discs appearing as shiny aluminum, very high up, perhaps at 20,000 feet, hovering side by side.  These objects had an apparent size of a golf ball. As he watched, one object turned on it's axis and seemed to disappear "at the speed of light".  The other continued to hover, then turned several different colors and vanished.  Witness described blue-green, and red-orange, adding that he had an unusual feeling during the event he cannot properly describe.  SSD/FI Steve B. will be giving this one further scrutiny.

Senoia (Coweta County), 17Nov93, night.  An adult female resident of Villa Rica was visiting someone on Hwy 16 just outside of town.  While standing outside talking, she and her friend noticed a large silent craft just above some treetops about 100 feet to the north.  She stated it was horse-shoe shaped and glowing with such intensity that it appeared as if "white-hot".  The craft was passing over the treetops S to SE and illuminated the branches which seemed to be moving with the passage.  The craft size was substantial, and from the description, perhaps as large as a medium sized jet aircraft.  The object passed on to the SE in the direction of Griffin.  SSD/FI Joe A. will be contacting this witness.

Vicinity of Blue Ridge (north Georgia highlands), 30Oct08, 8:15PM.  An adult male resident of Hayesville N.C. (just above the Georgia state-line in N.C.) was driving along Hwy 515 about 5 miles beyond Blue Ridge.  He pulled off to check the load on his truck, and upon getting back in noticed a low oscillating sound he felt might be from the truck, but was apparently not.  Looking out through the windshield, the witness observed a triangular object moving to the south perpendicular to Hwy 515 at about 300-400 feet in altitude and moving 40-50mph.  The object seemed to be moving with 2 points forward, a dim white light on each forward point, with a white and a red light on the rear point.  Witness considered the lights connected (by fuselage) as the background sky was lighter than the craft.  The witness did not give an estimate as to distance, but it was close enough to offer the oscillating sound and for him to estimate the lights were about 200-300 feet apart.  This witness has agreed to meet with FIs Mark and Leslie M. of Blairsville.  He is currently working on a sketch and diagram.

Cataula (Harris County), a few miles north of Columbus/Fort Benning.  An adult male Cataula resident stated that on 31Oct08 at about 8:30PM he was on an errand to a nearby store.  Noticed from the parking lot was what appeared to be a flare in the distance.  As he drove home, he continued to watch it, saying it was just sitting in the sky about 300-400 feet up, but this was really hard to estimate.  The light suddenly went down in altitude and proceeded to move through the trees and disappeared from sight.  This witness provided no other info but said it appeared "Saturn-like".  There are no investigators in this event area, thus witness will be contacted and a mail-out kit sent to him until further arrangements can be made.

1- 5Sept08 at about 9:45PM   An alleged 'UFO event' was recently posted to You Tube and a CMS report was also filed.  The witness is believed to be an adult Atlanta area resident who refused to reveal his identity, saying only that he works in the media.  He alleged that on 5Sept08 at about 9:45PM he and his son were at the Six Flags Park (off I-20 a few miles west of Atlanta) and noticed 3 to 5 pulsating lights in the western sky making unusual and violent maneuvers beyond that of a normal aircraft.  He began taking video of these lights which he estimated were one or more miles away.  The video was then posted to You Tube. FI Joe A. of Marietta determined the park was closed on 5 September, but that a concert was held on that date.  Initially, the video did not look very impressive to some of us, but does need closer scrutiny in the original if the witness will cooperate.  Joe has been trying to get the photographer to come forward and provide us with the original. Initial contact was made, but the results of that is unknown at this time.

2- 14Sept08, 3:00AM, an adult male resident of Tucker, Georgia reported that he'd awakened with a full bladder, got up and then returned to bed.  Then began a dream as if he was in a 'waiting room'.  Later, an 'alien' inserted a probe into his mouth which acted like an X-ray device, illuminating his innards as if they were transparent.  Later another procedure was performed which allowed him to see his diseased lungs on a display screen.  At that time one of the entities told him via telepathy that if he would stop smoking, he would be OK. (Witness confirmed he was in fact a smoker).  He awakened alert at about 6:00AM.  Witness went on to describe living in Dahlonega (Georgia highlands) in 2001 when one night a UFO appeared over the property.  It began shooting 'laser beams' indiscriminately around the forest, eventually setting a tree ablaze.  FI Betsy B. of Lawrenceville was assigned to contact this witness and evaluate his case.

3- 17Sept08, at about 8:43PM, a male resident of Leesburg (SW Georgia just north of Albany) stated that he and his family were outside when his wife noticed an unusual steady star-like light moving in the sky.  The light quickly moved toward an evening planet, then performed a U-turn and flew back toward the original direction.  He got his binoculars trained on it which revealed a cigar-like object with lighting that illuminated enough for him to tell there was some substantial mass i.e. solidity, actual size unknown.  As this object flew back toward it's original path, it seemed to go upward, giving an ember-like reddish tint, getting smaller and smaller.  During this process, the witness also tried to get his camera on a tripod, but realized there would probably not be enough time, so took a snapshot as steady as possible.  The family dog reacted by getting in front of the family and growled as if protecting.  Later indoors, their cat seemed agitated, running around the home.  Being nighttime, size and distance was hard to judge.  The witness forwarded two actual photos to CMS, only one of which came up..........a dark sky-scape with a slim, tiny, elongated glow.  Impossible to determine anything by cursory viewing.  SSD/FI Jay Jordan of Tifton was assigned to contact this witness.

4- 30Sept08, at about 8:05PM, an adult female resident of Norcross was taking her morning walk. She was in the vicinity of Holcomb Bridge Rd. toward Jimmy Carter Blvd. (NE greater metro Atlanta quadrant) when she observed a dull gray massive blimp-like object slowly moving generally NE over Peachtree Industrial Blvd. @ the Jimmy Carter Blvd. overpass toward Duluth.  Object was at low level, described as over the treetops.  An aircraft flew over the object giving a contrast to it's large size (300 ft. on CMS).  Witness pointed it out to another passing pedestrian who was also surprised.  As she reached the Peachtree IHOP/Chic-Filet, it was moving closer toward Duluth and seemed to be to the lower right of the sun's disc.  She lost sight of it behind the area trees.  Witness was contacted and asked to begin a sketch with the small aircraft included to show contrast in size.  FI Betsy Buettner of Lawrenceville has been assigned for further investigation and will check possible blimp flights and so forth via PDK Airport.

On or about 1Aug08, an adult male witness living in Marietta reported that about 7:00PM there was a severe storm brewing up and that he felt compelled to go out and snap some photographs.  This struck him as unusual, as he was normally afraid of violent weather.   Witness snapped several exposures using an older Kodak camera.  Later, upon examining the shots, he noticed several smaller objects in the sky that, to him, did not appear to be storm debris carried on the wind.  Marietta FI Joe A. and Coastal FI Joe McE., a photo specialist, conducted a joint investigation into this matter.  Joe A. met with the witness and conducted an on-site investigation, while Joe McE. analyzed the photos.  The resolution of the exposures from the camera could not be brought to fine detail due to the age of the camera and small size of the capture, thus Joe A. stated the findings were inconclusive, further stating that only small elongated objects could be seen, perhaps suspended by the strong wind (gusts of about 70 mph with possible tornado formation).  Probable storm debris.

15Sept04, 7:30PM, an adult Canton resident was visiting the Woodstock IHOP with his now ex-wife and stepson.  Upon exiting, his stepson pointed out an object in the sky.  Observed was a low and slow moving black triangle with a light in each corner. The object was moving silently through the clouds.  FI Joe A. conducted an investigation, meeting on-site with the witness.  This case was classified as an 'Unknown-UAV'.

9Aug08, about 3:00PM, an adult resident of Dunwoody was in Norcross and from the vicinity of City Hall observed a black sphere floating slowly under the clouds.  Noticed was that the sphere was moving generally west, and the clouds were moving east.   When the sun hit the sphere at the proper angle, there was a gleam as if of a metallic nature.  The object then hovered, reversed direction and then moved along with the clouds, stopped again and moved back and forth, then seemed to go higher in altitude, getting smaller until vanishing.  ASD Ralph H. has been in contact with the witness and is conducting an inquiry.

12Aug08, about 10:30PM, a young adult witness in Adel was leaving home on an errand with friends, including mom. Noticed en-route was what appeared to be an aerial object of exact unknown shape, but displaying a circular configuration of 6-10 yellow-orange lights flashing sequentially.  Object appeared to be under the cloud cover, hovered, then took a straight line path and at one point moved so swiftly, the lights left a streaking blur.  Aircraft were observed in the area, as well as some other witnesses hearing jet aircraft, suspected to be from the AFB a few miles south near Valdosta. SSD Jay Jordan of Tifton is conducting an investigation into this matter.

1Aug08, former ASD John B. of Wray was contacted by a law enforcement officer working in the general vicinity of Albany Georgia.   This officer indicated that a few months earlier on night patrol he had encountered, on more than one occasion, a low and slow unknown object, to wit; The first night he'd observed a light over a treeline adjacent the roadway.  Closer scrutiny revealed an oblong dark mass that 'curved' down at the rear end.  A light appeared to be on the bottom shining downward as the object moved along about 45mph.  The officer followed it until it stopped to hover nearby.  He put his patrol unit's spotlight on it for a better look and was further convinced there was absolutely no noise that he could hear.  After about 10 seconds, the object turned and flew away very quickly.  The next night one of his associate officers that lived in the area called him and stated he had followed what was apparently the same object described earlier by the primary witness.  He had followed it several miles into the adjacent county until he lost sight of it.  The primary witness then described his second encounter with the object when it was observed to fly over a state highway and adjacent field.  His view was better on that occasion and he observed a 'cylinder-type' of ring on the bottom, and noticed the back end seemed to consist of two sections.  SSD Jay Jordan was assigned to investigate this matter and has since interviewed the witness and taken a more detailed statement, obtained an object sketch and diagrams of the flight path.  This investigation continues.

15Jan04, about 1:00AM, an adult resident of Snellville Georgia (appx. 20 miles east of Atlanta) stated he was outside his home taking a break from his late night graphic artist work.  He observed a bright yellow-white glowing, clean edged, silent sphere overfly his home on a straight-line path, W to E.  It was at 90 degrees overhead when first noticed due to the house partially blocking his view in one direction.  It was observed to continue on toward the eastern horizon in just a few seconds.  He described it as appearing to be about the size of 1/2 a penny.  The witness is an artist and illustrator by profession and stated he would provide us with a professional rendering of what he observed.  Sketch HAS NOT been forwarded as of 31July08.  FI J. Clifford of Lawrenceville will visit this witness in the near future

8Jan08, night, an adult resident of Fort Valley (central Georgia) described seeing a large glowing, light pulsating, cloud-like formation that he considered to be in outer space.  He contacted the newsroom at WMAZ TV-13 and found that the staff was also outside watching this same occurrence.  The next night, Ben Jones, the station meteorologist, announced that it was a "rocket dumping fuel" according the the witness.  FI Jay Jordan of Tifton has been assigned to double check the meteorologist's pronouncement.

18May08, 11:20PM, an adult witness in Lawrenceville Georgia (few miles NE of Atlanta) reported to NUFORC that he was trying to take some moon photos and upon later examining the results, found a saucer shaped object with a dome in one of his shots.  Peter Davenport provided us with the witness contact information, thus FI Betsy B. of Lawrenceville will handle any local chores with the witness, and FI J. McElveen of the Coastal Region will scrutinize the photo.   If this case develops, it will also be added to CMS as well as a supplemental report to the NUFORC data base.  There is no update from FI Buettner or FI McElveen at this time.

23Jan09, 6:10PM, Savannah Georgia.  A U.S. Army recon specialist was driving in to Hunter Army Airfield when an unusual glowing blue/white to blue/green spherical object flew right in front of his vehicle from the NW traveling at a tremendous speed.  This object was observed to move upwards, stop, then accelerate to the SE, being lost from sight as it crossed the river.  Each acceleration was accompanied by electric-like trails.  This occurred within under one mile from the witness, his vehicle's cruise control shutting off and the engine "hiccuping", lights dimming as if the engine was shutting off.

Coastal ASD D. Marchant has met with the witness and found that his Army associates had recommended that he contact MUFON.  Note that this is the latest of several recent such events near or over a Georgia Army installation.  The others being at Fort Gordon near Augusta.  Dave and the Coastal crew have been compiling information on these events for several weeks now and as usual, Coastal is on top of things.

21Jan09, 8:00PM- McCaysville area, north of Blue Ridge in Ga/Tn state line vicinity.  An adult male college graduate, along with three other credible witnesses, one a scientist, made the following unusual night observation on 21Jan.  The Primary Witness (PW) received a phone call so moved outside for better reception.  While talking he observed an unusual light in the western sky.  He got his binoculars and continued to observe, calling his parents for their opinion.  He then quickly proceeded to a nearby church where the view was more panoramic. At that point, assisted by his uncle, a telescope was erected and observation continued.  The object/light was observed for about 2+ hours at about 26° during which it remained still, then it began to move off to the left of the PW.  Displaying a sudden burst of extraordinary speed it then reversed direction and in the manner of a meteor departed in a "split second".  This object was described as being circular with the top portion changing to a triangular shape, about quarter size (about 2½ full moons), hovering, with pulsations of the spectrum colors being exuded, especially red and green, with a yellow color flashing sequentially, while it seemed to be spinning.

This was an exceptional event due to the number of credible witnesses and the duration of the occurrence.  FIs M. and L. Moore applied their deep scientific background in the measurement process and interviewing phase, thus eliminating the mundane possibilities and classifying this as an Unknown-UAV. An outstanding investigation.

29Dec08, 9:19PM, near Adairsville (northwest Georgia) An adult male resident of Calhoun and a friend were driving west along Old Dixie Hwy. near 41 Hwy.  Witness had just checked his watch at 9:18PM and within a few moments a bright, fast moving glowing sphere flew over his vehicle traveling west (duration 3 seconds).  Witness stated that it appeared to be about 50-60 feet above ground level, silent and leaving no trail or train.  Coloration was white to blue-white.  Size described as about 1/4 the mass of the full moon.  Last observed passing over an adjacent tree-line still westbound.  Witness indicated he'd never seen anything moving so fast.  Adding that he lives in the vicinity of an airport and was accustomed to seeing all manner of aircraft at various altitudes and feels certain that, even for a night observation, the altitude was low.  Witness provided a well written account and proved well-spoken and cooperative, agreeing to meet at the event site for further investigation.

The law enforcement authorities (911 Centers) in both Gordon and Bartow Counties told this writer the same night that no other reports had been received, but would notify MUFONGA if anything developed.

17Dec08, Night, Hephzibah in Richmond County, Augusta vicinity.  A couple was outside using their spa when 3 unusual red star-like lights were observed in the southern sky.  Within a few minutes 3 amber lights were observed to hover and move around along with 6-7 other lights that seemed to be darting about the sky.  Thereafter the witnesses heard the sound of a large aircraft from the area of their airport and then observed something similar to a 'row' of stars flicker on and off and seemingly follow one another.  The local police department denied any knowledge, but a recent newspaper article had cited some military operations at the nearby Fort Gordon.  Additional case 17Dec08, same general vicinity at 6:41pm, Richmond County near Augusta; a motorist observed 4 star-like amber lights to appear in unison, moved apart and vanished.  Thereafter this was repeated in a different part of the sky.  Also on 17Dec08, a MUFONGA member near Augusta observed several star-like amber lights in the southern sky at appx. 30° elevation which placed them over Fort Gordon.  These lights demonstrated short range movements then faded away in 4-5 seconds.  This repeated with some variation over a period of minutes.  The witness had the impression that it may have been conventional objects.  Coastal Region ASD Dave Marchant is looking into these cases, having calls out to witnesses, the media and the U.S. Army.
