Moultrie, Georgia 31768

Dear Sirs:

The purpose of this letter is to report an unidentified flying object on the night of March 12, 1966, at approximately 12:30 A.M., between Sale City, and Moultrie, Georgia. I am writing this letter now at the risk of ridicule, or being labled a crackpot. I was not going to report it to any officials, because of obvious reasons. But since I, along with my mother, spotted this, shall we say, phenomena, I have talked to some very intellectual people about my experience on the night of March 12. They didn't seem to think that it was a laughing matter, or a crac…

other than my mother and myself has reported a u. f. o. on that night, and of the same, following description:

I was driving home, to Moultrie from Gale City, when I saw a bright red, circular object out in an open field, to the west side of my car. It was stationary in the sky and it seemed to be a great distance away. I called my mother's attention to it, and I asked her if she had ever seen the moon when it was bright red, she answered "no." So we both continued to watch it as I drove. I went about a mile farther, when I saw the thing started moving. It was moving quickly, smoothly but…

the road, and it seemed to be coming right on down into us. I stopped my car and jumped out, and it, whatever it was, stopped also. It was about fifty yards in front of us, and approximately fifty feet above the road, it was a very bright red. At that distance, it looked as though it was about the size of a big car, shaped like a big tilted cup. I got back into my car and proceeded forward slowly, it also proceeded forward, staying about the same distance in front of my car. It went on that way for about a quarter of a mile, then it came down to an altitude of about ten feet above the road…

I went about a half mile further and it came on again, bright red. This time it was about fifty feet high and over to the right of the road and about a hundred feet in front of us, traveling forward. We went on a few miles like that, then it came back over the road again. I slowed up to about five miles per hr. another car was coming behind me, it stayed about a thousand feet behind me, so evidently the people in that car saw it too. I went around a curve, but the thing did not change course this time, so now it was back over to the front right, right over the tree tops. It traveled in tha…

bobling course. And it remained
brilliantly visible until we got
to the edge of town, where buildings
abstracted our view. When I got on
into town, I stopped where two
police officers were standing and
asked them if they saw anything.
But there was buildings on either
side of them, and they seemed to
think that my mother and I were
imagining things. If they had any
intelligence whatever, they'd have
known that two people do not imagine
the same phenomena at the same
time.

Well, you people might think that
I'm off my rocker, but what I've
written here is so true that I,
and my mother, woul…

a lie detector test, or any type of truth serum if it was necessary to back up what we saw.

I've just heard on the radio that a U. S. P. O. was spotted by fifty-two people in Michigan and Indiana. Could there be some connection?

We would deeply appreciate a reply and if you had any other reports on that night.

It was not a helicopter, nor a plane. I have been in the service and I can spot conventional aircraft. And I failed to mention that our phenomena was silent. It made no sound whatever.

Sincerely,
