Light over Adairsville, GA

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

The report, as filed

Felt something watching me, as I went to get something from my truck. Looked up to see a bright light with four points of light coming off of it quickly dim into a red/orange ember type light and completely disappear, only to reappear as a bright light in the same spot. Then it slowly made its way across the sky before slowly fading to the ember and disappearing by getting smaller and smaller. Moved in a wavering pattern stopping and starting again as well as moving in a wave like pattern. A smaller light was traveling around it and looked to be farther away like maybe a data light and it made a verticle flight path before disappearing behind trees whereas the brighter light was traveling horizontally. Smaller light did not change colors.

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #143857). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

Adairsville, GA

My son and I were heading out of the house for school. We live on a hill overlooking our small town. There are always amber Street lights and billboard lights visible, but we'd never seen a light like this before, nor in that area or at the height at which we viewed it. We saw what appeared to be a bar of red light. I could see individual lights made up the bar, but my cell phone camera didn't quite catch it with enough clarity to see this. I stared at it for a solid minute before I watched it fade, one light at a time, from my left to the last light on the right, before completely disappearing. When I returned home that afternoon, I looked to see if any buildings, signs, etc matched the height of the object in that direction, and I couldn't see anything but trees.
