Initial data
Flying saucers or unidentified flying objects were spotted in the areas of Austell and Powder Springs, Georgia, will no longer be visible, Fire Marshal Bill Gore Jr. said yesterday.
Over the past two weeks, unidentified objects have been reported in settlements northwest of Atlanta.
Mr Gore said they were identified as plastic dry-cleaning bags containing containers of burning kerosene. The heat filled the plastic bags, which then floated at an altitude of 500 feet.
"It took us some time to track down these objects, but the young people who sent them up were sufficiently warned," Mr. Gore said.

For the past two weeks, unidentified objects have been reported in the communities northwest of Atlanta.
Mr. Gore said they have been identified as plastic dry-cleaning bags carrying containers of blazing kerosene beneath. The heat fills the plastic bags, which then float as high as 500 feet.
