The article mentions a UFO sighting Lester experienced over Old Summerville Road, Rome, Georgia on 2 April 1975 (not October 1975 as mentioned in the article).
Old Summerville Road is situated near Richard B. Russell Regional Airport.
Quote from the article:
“ ‘I grabbed a pair of binoculars and ran out of the house. All at once, the object shot up higher into the air in just an instant, and then began hovering again. Then an airplane flew through the sky where the thing had been.’
Mrs. Lester drove to a runway at Russell Airport so she could have a clear view of the object through her binoculars. She was only able to see the jets through the binoculars, as the dark object moved farther away.”
