An object was seen in this locality on 12 June 1947. The hour was approximately 9:45 P.M. and we (my wife and I) were traveling west to the Plantation Golf Course, which is approximately 5 miles from home. On the way, I happened to spot something in the sky which appeared to be climbing to a high cloud. It was half circular in shape and just as bright and silver looking as a mirror caught in the rays of the sun. After a few minutes of traveling and looking, the object disappeared. I would say it was about 10 miles distant, and from our location, approximately 3,000 feet in the air. Note: Witness states he has had "Aircraft Recognition" in the USAF about 4 times and is positive that the object sighted was not an airplane
