1985-11-26 - Eatonton, GA - Disk

I was returning from deer hunting in PA. It was the Tues morn after Thanksgiving 1985 around 430 am. I was riding along Ga rt 441 south of Eatonton, and stopped along the road to p. I was right next to a fence that was along the hiway on a small inlet off the big lake. I could easily find that spot again, even after all these years. I was facing west while taking a pit stop and the sky was dark, starry, moonless, silent. I saw in the west three lights in a triangular formation. They were moving in a direction toward me very slowly in a path from due west to east. They were noiselss. All was silent and I would have heard any noise they made, as in a plane, or other known craft. I watched for many mins as they moved slowly across the sky. I then realized I had my 264 win mag rifle with me, it had a 3-9x40 scope on it. I got it out as they passed overhead and put the scope on 9x. I saw thru the scope three saucer shaped oblect with a bubble type turret or top. The lights seemed to eminate from a row of windows or whatever around each turret. The crafts were all three totally traditional 'flying saucer ' shape. I watched them thru the 9x rifle scope for a long time as they proceeded east into false dawn. Then they stopped totally and didnt move for many minutes. They seemed to just hang near the eastern horizon for a long time as I watched thru the rifle scope. It was getting lighter along the horizon at this time. Suddenly, and I mean suddenly, they streaked North and disappeared from my view. The speed which with they took off amazed me. It was instantaneous, a move north then GONE. I wasnt as shocked by the sighting as I was by the sudden disappearance.
