This document consists of a sighting report and associated correspondence regarding an unidentified aerial object observed in Dalton, Georgia, on January 14, 1950. The primary witness, a car salesman whose name is illegible in the document, reported observing an aircraft-like object flying very low over his driveway at approximately 2300 hours.

The object was observed for approximately one second as it traveled from east to west. The witness reported the incident to the authorities, noting that he was instructed to contact Wright-Patterson Field.
