ANOTHER UFO SIGHTING IN CENTRAL FLORIDA
On Friday, November 9, 1997, at 8:45 p.m.. Richard L. reported,
"Friends and I looked up to
see what we thought was a meteor approaching from the northeast.
Suddenly it gouted
orange/red flames. A moment (passed) and more gusts of flames.
It lit up the craft--looked
disk-shaped."
The group was in Orlando, Florida (population 128,394), approximately
229 miles (366
kilometers) north of Miami. He added, "Then, after a few moments,
it turned and headed
north-northeast. It shot off a few more gouts of flame, then
flew off till it became a speck of light
in the distance. The craft was one light--yellowish-white. No
running lights as would be seen on a
plane or a helicopter." (USENET Item)
TRIANGULAR-SHAPED UFO SEEN IN EASTERN GEORGIA
On Wednesday, November 5, 1997, at 6:30 p.m., Curtis F. was at
his home in Augusta,
Georgia (population 47,532), a city on the Savannah River bordering
South Carolina,
approximately 151 miles (142 kilometers) east of Atlanta. All
at once, he "heard a loud roaring
noise."
"The noise gew to such an intensity that he thought a jet was
about to crash. Looking out the
window, Curtis saw a distant flying light. As he watched, the
unknown light broke apart. One
triangular-shaped portion with flashing red and white lights
flew away to the southeast--the other
part, also with lights, flew off to the north."
Curtis "could not ascertain its shape or color. The larger object
was observed for a minute before
it disappeared, the smaller for only five seconds. Both continued
to travel horizontally and at
approximately jet speed." (See MUFON Skywatch Investigations
