STATE/COUNTRY: GA LOCATION: Chickamauga DATE: 10/89 TIME: 18:00 DISTANCE: Overhead ALTITUDE: 300' # OF UFO's: 3 SHAPE: Lights seemingly connected COLOR: None SIZE: 400' long SOUND: Rumbling LIGHTS: 3: 1 red on each end, and 1 white in the middle; solid, not blinking OTHER: Looked like a flying stick; lights 100' apart ADDL WITN: 3 COMMENTS: He was in the church yard across the street from his home, practicing karate. He sat on the ground to rest, looking at his house when it came directly toward him. He stood up and ran toward it as it went over. When he got to the top of a hill in front of the church, it looked like it was landing. He got scared and ran home. His wife and daughter (age 11) were in the front yard and also saw it.
From the witness's e-mail statement: "This object looked like a flying flag pole, one red light on each end with a white light in the middle. I could not see anything in between the lights, no solid structure. It flew very fast; even though it didn't make a sound, the ground shook and rumbled as it passed over."
Cattle in a nearby field became disturbed and made a ruckus.
STATE/COUNTRY: GA LOCATION: Poulan DATE: 11/85 TIME: 22:00 DISTANCE: Just above telephone poles ALTITUDE: 30 feet # OF UFO's: 1 SHAPE: Triangle (equilateral) COLOR: Totally black SIZE: Huge - football field size SOUND: None LIGHTS: None OTHER: It "swooped down" on them ADDL WITN: 3 COMMENTS: “My sister and I were in her car, my two sons, ages 12 and 13, were in the back seat. It was a cool, pleasant, clear night and I had my window rolled down. We were only going a couple of blocks. I lay my head in the open window and looked up to enjoy the stars. All of a sudden, it was like a huge black thing came straight down on us. I could see it because it blacked out the stars. I though we were being squashed and I ducked down in the car and screamed "What is that?" My sister said "What? Where?" When nothing happened, I looked out again and it was clearly outlined (by stars shining around the edges) as a triangle. It made no sound and appeared to be maybe 25-30 feet above the light and telephone poles, but was not reflecting any light from the lights. My sister said "Where is it? I don't see anything!" I said "Look where the stars aren't! They're blacked out!" One of my sons said "I see it! I see it!" My sister was still looking first out the front window, then out of her side window. I kept watching and all of a sudden, the stars started filling in rapidly, and I knew it was going straight up. I couldn't see it at all in a matter of seconds. Within 10 minutes, 4 fighter jets were over us. We stood in my sister's front yard and watched them. We are used to seeing fighter jets because they often come from Moody AFB in Valdosta to play war games (they chase each other, do maneuvers, shoot flares, etc.), but these jets were doing something different. They would go from S to N in a straight line, almost out of sight, then turn around and come back, but over some. They did this about 5-6 times, then go W to E, turn, then go E to W. This pattern formed a grid. When we went to bed at 1:00 am, they were still flying. (I've never known them to fly so long. Usually their games only last about 45 minutes over our area. My sister never did see it because she was looking back and forth out the front and side windows, and it left so fast. My oldest son, Tommy, said he saw lights at each corner. That may have been the case and I just thought the lights were stars. I don't remember stars.
