Dublin, Georgia, [ILLEGIBLE]Date unknown

On the afternoon of September 3, 1952, five witnesses in Dublin, Georgia, reported seeing five flat, round objects moving through the sky. The sightings occurred around 1730 (5:30 p.m.) under clear skies with good visibility.

The witnesses, interviewed separately by Air Force intelligence officers, described the objects as bright aluminum or metallic in color. Most said the objects appeared to tilt at one point during the sighting, briefly becoming extremely bright before returning to their original dull aluminum appearance. The objects traveled horizontally from southeast to southwest, toward a Veterans Hospital, and were visible for approximately four to five minutes. No sounds, vibrations, smoke, flames, or odors were detected. None of the witnesses were under the influence of alcohol.

Air Force investigators checked aircraft activity at Robins Air Force Base near Macon and at Cochran Field. They found several aircraft in the area at the time, including a flight of five B-29 bombers headed to Robins AFB from Louisiana, passing over Macon between 1621 and 1733 hours. The Air Force also verified with the base weather station that no weather balloons had been released on September 3, 1952. The official weather report noted clear skies, 15-mile visibility, a 30,000-foot ceiling, and northwest winds at 8 knots.

An interview with the manager of local radio station WMLT confirmed that he had spoken with the observers and found them to be earnest and convincing in their reports. He stated the witnesses seemed certain that what they had seen was not jet planes.

The case file, consisting of 34 pages held by the National Archives, includes detailed spot reports from five civilian witnesses, weather data, aircraft activity logs, drawings by the observers, and completed questionnaires.
