And here it is [picture from ‘Life Magazine]:
It’s now on display at the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) Mini-Museum in Decatur, pickled in a jar.

Of Course I Would Have, But I Like to Think of Myself as an enigma
It Did Need a Little Silver suit & Helmet Though

I guess it was initially preserved as evidence.
This is the report to Project Blue Book (the U.S. Air Force-led study of UFO sightings from March 1952 to December 1969). The ‘Mableton Hoax’ (misspelled as ‘Mapleton’ in some accounts) reportedly arose over a $10 bet that Ed Watters (misspelled as ‘Waters’ in some accounts) couldn't get his picture in the newspapers.
Sounds to me like some of that North Georgia moonshine was involved!
