Declassified UFO / UAP Document
Project 10073 Record — Sparks, Georgia, 28 November 1966
AI-Generated Summary
A civilian witness reported a silver, saucer-shaped UFO following her car in Georgia on November 28, 1966. The Air Force investigation concluded the data was insufficient for evaluation and suggested local power lines caused the reported radio interference.
On November 28, 1966, at 1030Z, a civilian witness reported a UFO sighting near Lenox, Georgia. The witness, an 18-year-old telephone operator in Valdosta, Georgia, described a silver, saucer-shaped object, approximately the size of a semitruck, consisting of two saucers inverted on top of one another. The object was described as having a smooth surface with no protuberances, featuring one flashing red light and several glowing white lights. The witness also reported seeing two reflective 'eyes' similar to cat eyes on the object. The object was initially observed motionless on the road, blocking the witness's path. It then became airborne at a shallow angle, moved across an open field, and followed the witness's car for two miles while she was driving toward Interstate 75. The object remained a few yards above and behind the car until a semitruck approached from the opposite direction, at which point the object departed straight upward. During the encounter, the witness reported that her car radio began buzzing, though no other physical evidence was found. The investigation, conducted by Captain John W. Miller, Jr. of the 3550th Pilot Training Wing, concluded that the radio buzzing was likely caused by high-tension power lines in the area. The Air Force determined that the available data was insufficient for a scientific evaluation and requested further information from the witness via FTD Form 164.
The buzzing sound on the car radio was probably caused by the eight high tension power lines which pass overhead the location given for the UFO.
