Full Description & Details

I live in a rural and slightly remote mountain region in north Georgia. A few days before Christmas of 2006 I was clearing out a small garden in the early afternoon with my dog nearby and suddenly he started barking at something in the sky. I looked up and perhaps 30 feet above a forested hill top was an irregularly shaped gray oval object perhaps as big as a car, hard to say. The entire edge of this object was blurry as if it were trying to blend into the sky. It seemed to be hovering and suddenly started to pivot in a very controlled manner. At some point in its turn it was as narrow as a thin, vertical line. It continued pivoting and was an oval again. I ran indoors to find a camera and when I returned it was rapidly ascending, already so high in the sky it was barely visible. I watched as it broke through some very high clouds and was gone.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

This was a rigid round object that pivoted on a vertical axis in a very controlled way, appearing as a vertical line at its apex. I can't compare it to anything I've ever seen before.

Witness Background

I've worked as a graphic artist in the fashion industry in New York with a degree from F.I.T. I am now semi retired. I had just moved to Georgia to take care of my mother about a year before this sighting.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I really don't believe in E. Ts or UFOs from outer space. I can't even say I had a casual interest in them. Now I don't know.

Other Comments

After this occurance I felt disturbed because I couldn't understand what I had seen. I tried to explain it to people, but I sensed no one really believed me, but I still talk about it, hoping to one day find out what it was that my dog and I saw.
