UFO sighted near Reidsville Georgia in 1961

Summary

A pilot reported a white star-shaped object, the size of Polaris, at an estimated altitude of 60-80 miles. The object moved in a straight and steady path, slightly converging with the aircraft's course. Despite observing it for nearly five minutes, the object's identity could not be confirmed. A weather balloon or known satellite were ruled out, and no physical evidence was found. The official conclusion was that there was insufficient data to evaluate the phenomenon.
