UFO seen as yellow dot over Macon 1962

Summary

A witness in Macon, Georgia, reported a bright yellow object crossing the sky from east to west in September 1962. The sighting lasted just 1½ seconds and was described as a solid, glowing dot. The observer did not use any optical aids or take photographs, but noted the object moving quickly across the sky at an elevation of 30 to 40 degrees. Due to the short duration and lack of additional details, investigators considered the possibility of a meteor, though a balloon or astronomical event was also mentioned. The report, though limited, is part of the Project 10073 records, which collected data on unidentified aerial phenomena.
