A Centerville, GA, witness reports watching and photographing four "stars" in the sky that did not move or blink, but then disappeared completely from view about six minutes later, according to June 21, 2011, testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness believes the objects were lower than the cloud coverage.
"Trouble is, you couldn't see the sky yet, just the clouds, but the 'stars' were in or in front of the clouds," the witness stated.
The objects appeared to be stars.
"The lights did not move nor blink; they were white stationary points of light, exactly what a star in the night sky looks like. My camera info shows I snapped the picture about 8:18 p.m. but my clock in the car read 7:45 p.m. or so."
The witness provided two images with the MUFON report. Image # 1, and Image # 2.
The objects disappeared from view after about 5 or 6 minutes.
"I watched the objects for about five minutes trying to match the objects to anything familiar but could not. I pulled back onto the road and continued towards home. By the time I reached the top of the next hill, the objects were gone. I can't say exactly how long the event lasted since I didn't see when it began but I watched the objects for five or six minutes. In that time, the 'stars' never moved or blinked, nor did they change position at all."

GA, June 18, 2011 - Four star like lights seen in sky outside Centerville GA. MUFON Case # 29663.
I was coming home after work, headed down Hightower Trail into Gwinnett Co. towards Centerville. We had thunderstorms that evening and the front was just pushing through so the sky was beginning to clear. I noticed to my right were two "stars" and I realized it was awfully early to start seeing stars.
Trouble is, you couldn't see the sky yet, just the clouds but the "stars" were in or in front of the clouds.
As I came around the corner where the landscape dips down giving you a view of the horizon for several miles, I noticed there were actually four "stars" forming a gentle arc.
I quickly picked up my camera and snapped a picture of the objects. The lights did not move nor blink, they were white stationary points of light, exactly what a star in the night sky looks like. My camera info shows I snapped the picture about 8:18 pm but my clock in the car read 7:45pm or so.
I watched the objects for about 5 minutes trying to match the objects to anything familiar but could not. I pulled back onto the road and continued towards home. By the time I reached the top of the next hill, the objects were gone. I can't say exactly how long the event lasted since I didn't see when it began but I watched the objects for 5 or 6 minutes. In that time, the "stars" never moved or blinked, not did they change position at all.
