Twice in the last two weeks, a poster on UFO Stalker describes having seen star-like flashing objects shaped like diamonds and discs at dusk in the skies over Watkinsville.

On 5/8/12 at 8:55pm (dusk) I drove to my usual locaton to see if the lights were going to be there tonight. I only observed one diamond flasher I call it, took a few photos which I will forward to you shortly. I feel confident that you will agree, that what I am capturing is extremely interesting.

The poster did not further pinpoint his/her location and no photos have yet been uploaded to the report. But the poster did recall having seen something similar only days earlier.

On 5/4 we saw are usual flashing diamond and then saw several white objects to the right of it and lower moving almost in zigzag motions then a plane approached and it went black.

It's not the first time unusual activity in Oconee County skies has been reported on UFO Stalker.  At the end of April, someone spotted a while driving along Ga. Highway 53.

That sighting, along with others in and, coincided with the annual Lyrids meteor shower.
