UFO sighted in Eastman Georgia in 1966

Summary

A witness in Eastman, Georgia, reported in 1966 an object that appeared to pass through the constellation Ursa Minor. The observer, a 41-year-old man, saw a bright object the size of the stars, following a straight and parallel path toward the south. The object was observed for 5 to 10 seconds, indicating an extremely high speed. Although initially considered a meteor, the witness dismissed this idea due to the object's level flight. Investigators concluded it could be an asteroid or meteor.

The report includes details about weather conditions and the exact location of the sighting. The observer had no technical background but was certain the object was not an airplane or balloon. Although a local meteorologist suggested it could have been a satellite, this did not match the witness's description. Ultimately, the case was classified as an astronomical phenomenon, likely a meteor, though without confirmed physical evidence.
