UFO in Georgia---MUFON

A Georgia couple reports a bright light at 300 feet that was moving so slow they first thought it was floating, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

They described the object spotted at 10 p.m. on July 13, 2010, as 200 feet in diameter, "emitting a white light from its spherical center," with "four rotating rings around it that were definitely metallic looking and were rotating pretty fast."

After about 1 minute, the object "shot up wards into the sky until it was a dim ball of light and then disappeared completely. "

The following is the unedited and as yet uninvestigated report filed with MUFON. Please keep in mind that most UFO reports can be explained as something natural or manmade. If Georgia MUFON State Director Ralph Howard investigates and reports back on this case, I will release an update.

GA, July 13, 2010 - large whit light traveling slowly and very low and then took off upward. MUFON Case # 24519.

It was 10:00 pm on July, 13 2010. Me and my wife went out side to look at the stars again just before we get ready for bed.
To the west we saw an air plane flying south east. after watching it for about 4 minutes i had noticed a ball of white light heading due south from the north around the north star (Polaris)
At first glance since it was so low and bright i thought it was a helicopter but there was no noise.

It looked like it was only about 300ft off of the ground and was moving very slowy. i would say it was going about 12 mph almost like it was floating.

being completely amazed i of course forgot to grab my camera but as it flew over our house i got a good look at it.
It was about 200 ft in diameter and was emitting a white light from its spherical center. it had four rotating rings around it that were definately matalic looking and were roatating pretty fast. after 1 minute and 5 seconds it shot up wards into the sky until it was a dim ball of light and then disappeared completely.
My wife quickly checked the time and it was 10:10 pm. so it would have appeared at 10:09.Its location was 31 degrees north by 81 degrees west. i have provided a ruff and quick sketch of the object from what i could see.
