As reported

Changing over Hiawassee, GA

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

My wife and I observed the craft for approximately 10 minutes. I was able to view the craft with binoculars and observed the crafts ability to shift its shape. I personally do not believe that this was a drone being that I operated drones both as a hobby and professionally. This was the first sighting of an object that I could not identify in my lifetime. I’ve worked around aircraft for several years now at Atlanta’s Hartsfield Jackson International Airport and feel that I’m familiar with how most aircraft operate. This craft appeared to be static but also appeared to have control of itself which leads me to believe that it was not any type of weather balloon. I was able to snap a few pictures with a cell phone camera for what it’s worth.

Also, when looking through the binoculars, the object had a light trail following it. I was far away over another mountain and had a red light that would flash on top for brief periods of time. It disappeared and about 4 plans were fly in the area! Very interesting experience.
