UFO Falls Over Georgia Sky (VIDEO) | HuffPost

WATCH: UFO Falls Over Georgia Sky

Margaret Pfeiffer was outside her house on Aug. 21, videotaping the aftermath of what she claimed were lightning strikes on her property, when she suddenly noticed a vey bright object in the sky heading quickly downward at an angle, according to OpenMinds.tv.

In one of her YouTube postings, Pfeiffer mentions that she lives in "west central Georgia," with no other details given.

Watch Pfeiffer's video of the strange object.

"I captured this after the fire from across the street here," Pfeiffer described on YouTube. "Say what you will, but this has no wings as a plane would have. Watch in full screen and keep pausing. There isn't even a shadow for the wing area. I believe this is a drone or UFO!!"

Several online reports say that the UFO "caused a severe lightning storm out of a clear blue sky." Really? Can anyone actually verify that this unusual brightly lit object had anything to do with possible lightning strikes in the area?

For the sake of credibility, these are the kinds of questions that need answering. But it doesn't detract from the interesting look of the object, seen below in close-up, as it plummets to the ground, disappearing behind trees.

So far, nobody has come forward claiming ownership or knowledge of whatever it was that fell out of the Georgia sky. Nor has any news emerged about wreckage of said object.

In the following video, another YouTube poster, wowforreeel, took Pfeiffer's original video (seen above) and slowed down the action for a better look.

The identity of the Georgia UFO is still up for grabs.

UFOs? Maybe They're Just...

UFOs Over Earth(01 of28)

This composite image shows four different times that alleged UFO were photographed above Earth by either space shuttles or the International Space Station. The big question is whether or not they are truly unidentified objects or if they are more likely reflections from spacecraft windows, meteors or fast-moving spacecraft-generated debris.

Manufactured UFO -- 2011(02 of28)

Pictured is a quad copter -- a deliberately manufactured UFO created by special effects wizard Marc Dantonio for a National Geographic special, "The Truth Behind: UFOs," which aired in December 2011. On the left is what the small device looks like resting on the ground, measuring 4 feet in circumference. At right, is how it appeared behind a tree in the night sky.

More Chinese Lanterns, aka UFOs(03 of28)

Boomerang UFO composite images -- 10-5-12(04 of28)

This is a composite of images shot by two eyewitnesses of a boomerang-shaped UFO they reported seeing over their Burbank, Calif., home on Oct. 5, 2012. Mutual UFO Network photo/video analyst Marc Dantonio concluded the object was likely "a balloon, floating on the wind that has collapsed in half." (credit:Mutual UFO Network)

Kentucky UFO -- Oct. 16, 2012(05 of28)

Amateur astronomer Allen Epling captured video and images of a cylindrical object in the sky above his Virgie, Ky., home on Oct. 16, 2012. This is one of the images he took, which led many to believe the object was a high-flying solar balloon. (credit:Allen Epling / YouTube)

Sky Lanterns Mistaken For UFOs(06 of28)

Chinese or sky lanterns are often misidentified as UFOs. These three were part of a large group of lanterns that was the main event of the 2013 Pingxi Sky Lantern Festival in Taiwan on Feb. 24, 2013. (credit:Getty)

Melbourne, Australia, Feb. 2013(07 of28)

This is a composite image of how three alleged UFOs maneuvered about in the sky over Melbourne, Australia, in early February, 2013. The final verdict isn't in yet on whether they're birds, aircraft, balloons, bugs or something truly unidentified. (credit:FindingUFO / YouTube)

Exploding Weather Balloons, Not UFOs(08 of28)

On Dec. 20, 2012, a bright, circular object (pictured at the top of this composite image) was videotaped exploding in the skies above Sacramento, Calif. It wasn't immediately identified, resulting in speculation that it was either an alien spacecraft, military top secret weapon, runaway planet, North Korean satellite, among others. Within a short period of time, it became apparent that this was a weather balloon. The bottom part of this image shows such a balloon as it ascended over Tampa Bay, Fla., on July 2, 2012, and exploded in an identical manner as the Sacramento object, probably much to the dismay of all true ET believers out there.

London Pizza Oven UFO(16 of28)

It wasn't exactly the UK version of the 1947 Roswell, New Mexico, UFO crash. Still this little incident in southwest London caused a bit of a furor on Oct. 17, 2015. Police responded to calls about an unexplained object on fire in the middle of a local street. Initial law enforcement thought it was a crash-landed UFO -- it turned out to be a pizza oven that had apparently fallen off a truck or was abandoned. No aliens here. (credit:Kingston Police UK)

Cincinnati Skydivers NOT UFOs Sept. 28, 2012(17 of28)

On the night of Sept. 28, 2012, a group of strange-looking lights appeared in the sky near Cincinnati, Ohio. First there was one, then, two, then three lights, slowly descending. It turns out, however, that these lights were originating from a group of skydivers performing a pyrotechnics jump at the La Salle High School homecoming event. (credit:Galuyasdi / YouTube)

Weather Phenomenon(18 of28)

Some UFO sightings may be due to a natural phenomenon known as sprites, like this one shown from 2006. "Lightning from [a] thunderstorm excites the electric field above, producing a flash of light called a sprite," said geophysicist Colin Price. (credit:ILAN Science Team / Space.com)

Sunken Ship in the Baltic Sea(21 of28)

On June 19th the Swedish-based diving company Ocean Explorer discovered something they've never quite seen before. They were exploring in the Baltic Sea between Sweden and Finland looking for sunken treasures when a very unusual image suddenly appeared on the sonar. A 197 feet diameter cylinder shaped object was discovered at the depth of approximately 275 feet which resembles the Millennium Falcon from the movie Star Wars.
