Summary

In November 1957, a gas station operator in Lithonia, Georgia, reported seeing an oblong object the size of a car for one hour and forty minutes. The object changed color from green to yellow and finally to red before it turned off like a light. Despite the long observation, the witness did not provide details about the exact location or direction of the object. Investigators concluded it was likely Venus, which was very bright in the sky at that time.

The lack of precise data, such as elevation, exact direction, and the time it was last seen, made it difficult to evaluate further than the astronomical explanation. The official report marked Venus as the most probable explanation, but the case remains intriguing due to the unusual duration of the observation and the detailed description of the color change of the object.
