Round UFO sighted near Augusta in 1957

Summary

In December 1957, a white and silver round object was spotted southeast of Augusta, Georgia. Civilian and military witnesses described it as resembling a partially filled plastic bag. Despite two jets being scrambled to intercept it, no detection occurred. The official conclusion pointed to Venus, yet questions remain about the object's true nature.

The report includes precise weather data and reliable testimonies, but no photographs. The confusion between a weather balloon and the planet Venus adds mystery to the case. Although dismissed as an astronomical phenomenon, the object's physical description doesn't easily fit any known category.
