Project 10073 Record — Macon, Georgia, 14 March 1967

This document is a Project 10073 record detailing a UFO sighting reported on March 14, 1967, in Macon, Georgia. A 19-year-old student at Mercer University observed a stationary, round, bright amber object with a red tint for approximately 30 minutes. The witness first noticed the object as a small, bright red light before it disappeared under cloud cover. An investigation conducted by Mr. Robert T. Barrett of the Security Police Division at Robins AFB included inquiries with base operations, the Macon Municipal Airport, and the Macon RAPCON (FAA), none of which reported aircraft or weather balloons in the area at the time. Following a consultation with Mr. Ab. B. Domingas, the Director of the Mark Smith Planetarium, the investigator concluded that the object was likely the star 'Leo,' which was positioned in the same area of the sky at the time of the sighting and shared the same color characteristics.
