Chattahoochee, FL - Light

The two objects left two vapor trails with 90 degree turns in them before they simply vanished.

Around mid April, 1967, Myself, Father, Brother, Uncle, Brother In-Law, Cousin and his Wife were on a week long fishing trip to Lake Seminole, where we made camp about 300 yards below Chattahoochee Dam. The Apalachicola River runs free from the dam to the Gulf of Mexico. We were mainly fishing for bass. They lay their eggs in the rock bed below the dam in early summer and are easy to catch when they are on the bed.

One particular day a storm was passing through in the afternoon and it was not until after dark when the storm began to break. Because most of the day had been wasted, we decided to do some night fishing. All of us loaded into two boats and we set anchor about 50 yards below the dam. We had been there about an hour, catching fish and having a good time. We were not under the influence of any drugs or alcohol.

My cousin got everyone's attention and instructed us to look to the sky. We all thought it was lighting and turned our attention back to fishing when my cousin said "no, keep looking". The following 5 or 10 minutes, I really was not aware of how long it lasted, was to be forever etched in my mind.

I will tell you what I saw only Even though everyone's account is basically the same, what I saw will be a first hand account, not what I heard from someone else. This is what I experienced.

What appeared to be lighting was the glow of at least 2 objects very high in the night sky, partly obscured by clouds that remain from the storm. A few minutes later the sky was clear and the objects could be seen clearly. They would appear and disappear, stop and start instantly. Accelerate quickly to speeds unknown. Not knowing the altitudes makes it difficult to guess at the speeds. Near the end of the sighting there were just 2 objects moving in formation, precise formation. What appeared to be at about a 45 degree angle, they began to move downward in our direction. They looked like 2 meteors in slow motion, moving much slower than before. They were round, glowing bluish white with tails like meteors have. Very bright! Then simultaneously they began leaving vapor trails. Very large vapor trails, 4 times as large as known aircraft would make. Then, the unbelievable...a 90 degree turn, then another, taking the 2 objects back and away from us at which point they vanished, leaving the 2 identical vapor trails for the winds to disperse. The vapor trails remain visible for about 15 or 20 minutes.

I would like very much to know if any other sightings were reported at that time. Others had to have seen what we saw that night in the month of April, 1967. Until someone can explain to me what we experienced, I will consider it a "UFO Sighting".

PS: I would appreciate you letting me know if anyone else saw these objects.
