Dr. Battey, the doctor in August (Georgia), was fishing ten miles off St. Helena, near Beaufort( SC). About eleven o'clock in the morning he noticed a formation of four disc-shaped objects flying overhead in a South-easterly direction at amazing speeds.

The wheels seemed to rotate on their axes and were at an altitude of about 20,000 feet. They were silver and looked polished. Around each of them, Dr. Battey could see the circular rim or projection. Any sounds he had heard when they were flying directly overhead. The formation disappeared from sight in less than twenty seconds. The report of Dr. Battey about surveillance did not appear in print until July 6, but then it appeared on the front page of the local newspaper and the news spread across the country.

Original news

Dr. Battey, a physician in Augusta, Georgia, had been fishing ten miles off St. Helena Sound, near Beaufort, South Carolina. At about eleven o’clock that morning he noticed a formation of four disc-like objects flying overhead in a southeasterly direction at a terrific rate of speed. The discs appeared to be spinning on their axes and were at an estimated altitude of about 20,000 feet. They were silvery and appeared highly polished, and on their under-sides, Dr. Battey could see a circular rim, or projection, about one-quarter of the way from the edges. No sound was heard as they flew overhead. The formation sped out of view in less than twenty seconds. Dr. Battey’s report of the sighting did not appear in print until July 6th, when the Augusta Chronicle gave it prominent front-page coverage. INS sent it out on the wires, where it was picked up by numerous newspapers around the country.
