HED: Jesup up in the air over UFO sightings
BYL: By Jingle Davis Special to The Journal
JESUP, Ga. Warren Purvis says it was as tall as a skyscraper. Purvis
said someone later tried to convince him he'd seen Northern lights. 'It
was not,' Purvis said emphatically. 'That thing was round and that
sucker was moving, and I was not drinking, but I did shortly thereafter.'
Dozens of sober, reliable Wayne County citizens, including a deputy
sheriff, an auto mechanic and Purvis, a former county commissioner, can't
seem to quit talking about the unidentified flying objects they saw on a
recent evening just after dark. Wayne County Sheriff Jim Poindexter said
Wednesday that on the night of April 26, nearly 30 people called to say
they had seen brightly lit objects of spectacular dimensions which made
no sound but cruised above the treetops at speeds of around 100 mph.
All of the callers insisted the objects were not airplanes, helicopters
or any other recognizable flying machines. 'Most people described them
as something with amber lights flying over the tree tops,' Poindexter
said. 'I know it was something, but we haven't been able to find out a
thing about what it was.'
The sheriff's office checked with the Army's Fort Stewart, about 30
miles away, to ask if the military was testing anything that might
account for the strange sightings. 'We don't believe it was anything
from the base,' said Fort Stewart spokesman Dean Wohlgemuth. Wayne
County Deputy Bill Ingram was eating dinner with his wife at home when
their poodle, Candy, started barking at something outside. 'We looked
and saw five amber lights, two up and three down.' Screven resident Ray
Poppell said he and his family saw two large objects hovering above the
treetops. 'All of a sudden the field in front of our house got real
bright, like it was on fire,' said Poppell, an auto mechanic. 'I went to
the door and saw these two objects shaped like big W's with lights on
every point.'
