UFO The dust had scarcely settled from the passing truck, when suddenly the sound of a hum was above us. Looking up from our Chevy convertible, we saw what appeared to be a flying saucer. It hovered over the top of a tall pine with flashing lights ringing it's outer circumference. Based on the size of the tree, the craft had to be 50 or 75 feet from one side to the other. It had a metallic gray appearance, and looked to be 15 to 20 feet thick in the middle, tapering down toward its outside. The hum continued as we both sat spell-bound by what we were seeing. The accounts in Douglas, Georgia Newspaper in the spring of 1968 attested to many sightings on nearby farms, but we knew nothing of this fact until later. We weren't the first or the last in Coffee County to see what appeared to be a UFO. Some reported seeing multiple craft at one time, though we only saw one. These sighting lasted for several days, and then, just as soon as it started, it ended. The initial sight of this was shocking, but what happened next was an even greater surprise. Suddenly, without any preliminary indication, this object flew to a new location a 1000 or so feet higher, traveling this distance in a split second. How could anything fly that fast? Were we seeing things? The travel time between where this object was, to where it flew was hard for my mind to comprehend. We could not hear the sound any longer as the great distance and low volume erased the sound factor in the sighting. To this day, almost 50 years later, I still have no clue about what we saw. It has remained, for me, a great mystery.
