Summary

An air traffic controller at Dobbins AFB, Georgia, reported a round object emitting a colorful fireball on October 13, 1953. The object appeared on radar and remained stationary for over two and a half hours. Investigators concluded it was a car light or searchlight, but the witness saw no wings or exhaust trails. The object moved westward and returned silently. The report includes precise location, estimated altitude, and coordination with other air bases to investigate the phenomenon.

The witness described a round, bright object with no features of a conventional aircraft. Despite investigations, no definitive explanation was found, though meteors or unconventional planes were ruled out. The case was filed under "car lights or searchlights," but the unusual nature of the object remains a mystery.
