Project 10073 Record Card and Associated Correspondence — Sandersville, Georgia, August 6, 1960

This document contains the official record and subsequent investigation of a UFO sighting reported on August 6, 1960, near Sandersville, Georgia. The initial report was received by Major J. E. Edwards at Warner-Robbins AFB, who relayed the information to the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC). The sighting involved four to six objects described as dots of light, approximately the size of a grain of corn, exhibiting a white and greenish-blue color. The witnesses reported that the objects appeared in a V-type or echelon formation, moving at erratic speeds—alternating between slow and fast—while maintaining a straight course without executing maneuvers. The objects were observed for a duration estimated between 20 seconds and one minute before disappearing instantaneously to the northwest. The investigation was conducted by the 2853D Air Base Wing in accordance with AFR 200-2. The investigating officer, Captain Mitchel, interviewed the witnesses, but the resulting information was deemed vague and conflicting. The official conclusion reached by the military was that the case provided 'Insufficient Data.' The report explicitly notes that there was no physical evidence, such as photographs, and no radar contact. Furthermore, the investigating officer remarked that the reported 'blinking lights' did not meet the criteria for a UFO as defined by Air Force regulations at the time. Due to the lack of a perceived threat and the difficulty in obtaining further information from the witnesses, the case was closed without further follow-up.
