A motorist traveling through Morgan County on I-20 had a close encounter with a UFO (Unidentified Flying Ornithological) Aug. 21.
According to reports, a Morgan County deputy was dispatched to an area near milepost 126 and the Lake Oconee Bridge on I-20 in reference to a property damage complaint. The complainant, Torey Hensley, said a large bird flying from Lake Oconee collided with his vehicle, causing minor damage to the windshield and head liner area.
Hensley said the bird was either an eagle or a hawk and was carrying a big fish it had caught in Lake Oconee.
The bird flew away after it hit the car but left a fish on the windshield.
Hensley was not injured, but the fish did not survive the incident. The bird’s condition is unknown._
