UFO seen near H-bomb plant in South Carolina

Summary

In December 1950, a UFO was spotted above the future site of an H-bomb plant in South Carolina. Witnesses described it as a bright object moving up and down and back and forth. Reverend Parkinson, a local pastor, noted that the object didn’t seem to be trying to hide, making it even more unusual. Several residents, including a neighbor and a visitor with his daughter, confirmed the sighting.

The object was observed for about 10 minutes before disappearing toward Georgia. The area was in the process of being selected for a major nuclear facility, adding an air of mystery to the event. Although the pastor was hesitant to talk about UFOs due to the expected relocation caused by the plant’s construction, he felt it was important to report the incident. The report was sent to military authorities as part of the protocols of the time for documenting unidentified aerial phenomena.
