Six hunters see a peculiar cluster of lights descend to the ground, hover, then streak off.

Telephoned Report: A gentleman telephoned the NUFORC Hotline to report that six hunters, located in a very large field, and within sight of a nuclear power plant close to Augusta, GA, witnessed a cluster of distinctly yellow lights descend quickly out of the sky, and hover close to the ground for approximately one minute. When the object stopped descending, its lights suddenly flared up to extremely bright.

After a very short period of time, the lights dimmed, the object rose slowly for a short period of time, and then streaked off into the sky.

The hunters were in a field, estimated to be 600-800 acres in size.

The sighting occurred within sight of NUFORC is awaiting written reports from the witnesses.

Time, date, location, and other details above are approximate.

NUFORC Note:

We spoke with the source on January 11, 2012, and learned that the lights were the result of flares launched by a tactical defense team, located in the vicinity of a nuclear power plant. PD
