Red UFO seen over Macon Georgia in 1967

Summary

In March 1967, a 19-year-old student in Macon, Georgia, observed a round, reddish, bright object in the sky. The witness, from his university dormitory, noticed a small red light that suddenly disappeared behind clouds. The observation lasted 30 minutes and was recorded by military authorities. Although aircraft and weather balloons were ruled out, no clear explanation was found.

The report includes details about weather conditions and wind patterns at high altitudes, suggesting the object was not a common atmospheric phenomenon. A local investigator contacted astronomical experts, who noted that the object's position and color matched the star Leo. However, the report concluded the phenomenon could have been a star, though the possibility of an unidentified object was not dismissed.
