Unusual Crescent-Shaped UFO Over South Carolina

Summary

A witness reported a crescent-shaped glowing object moving rapidly across the sky toward the northwest in January 1969 near Andrews, South Carolina. The sighting lasted about five seconds, and the observer described an orange light that moved in a straight line before disappearing. Authorities attempted to contact the witness for more details, but the individual did not return the official questionnaire. Poor weather conditions, with no visible stars, made precise identification difficult.

The description of the object suggests it was not a conventional phenomenon like an airplane or meteor. Its unusual shape and movement raised questions about its origin. Despite the lack of additional responses, the case was considered a possible reflection of a light source in the cloud, though no definitive conclusion was reached.
