UFO Sighting Report — Pine Mountain, Georgia, September 25, 1961

This document file contains records related to a UFO sighting reported on September 25, 1961, in Pine Mountain, Georgia. The primary record is a Project 10073 Record Card, which summarizes the observation of a single object described as a 'big wheel' rolling through the sky, appearing twice the size of the sun. The witness reported that the object passed in front of the setting sun before disappearing. The duration of the sighting was noted as a 'short time.' The Air Force investigation, conducted by the Foreign Technology Division and the Air Technical Intelligence Center, determined that the initial report lacked sufficient detail to reach a definitive conclusion. Consequently, Major William T. Coleman, Jr., the UFO Project Officer, sent a letter dated December 14, 1961, to the witness requesting that they complete two enclosed questionnaires to provide more detailed information. An internal memorandum from Colonel Edward H. Wynn, dated December 6, 1961, confirms that the original letter from the witness did not contain enough information for an evaluation and directed that the questionnaires be sent. The case was ultimately classified as having 'insufficient data' for evaluation due to the lack of further response from the witness.
