Alabama UFO Sightings in 1985

Full Report Text:

Bright lighted object 30 feet above me, rose, sped away, emitted shower of sparks in distance This is very inexact. I know the decade - the 80s; I know the day - Friday; I know the time - 5:30; I know the season - winter. I know the time and day because I was meeting my husband, a University Professor, after he left school, at the house of friends for a drink before going out for dinner.

It had to be winter because it was already dark. I took back streets to avoid stop lights, had stopped at a two-way stop and, because there were no other cars in sight, was preparing to cross the intersection when all at once shining above me was a bright, bright white light, not a searchlight type beam, but a hovering object with light diffused all around and about, seeming to come from within. It could not have been more than 30 feet above me and made no sound at all.

I was so startled that I couldn't take note of any particulars. It just radiated light. I couldn't move, but after no more than a minute, the light rose straight up to a great height and sped away in a north westerly direction, very straight and purposeful, very rapid.

I followed it with my eyes and headed in the same direction in my car but it was moving much too rapidly and I couldn't of course follow a straight course. When it was just a speck of far-away light, a shower of sparks fell from it and it was gone. When I got to the home of our friends, I told them my story and then called the police to ask if anyone had reported an unknown object in the sky.

No one had. I can't imagine that I was the only one who saw it. Perhaps there were those who wondered at it but didn't report it, or perhaps those seeing something streaking across the sky didn't think it unusual.

I probably would have been among any of those except that I had seen that object rise from just above me before it sped away. I had no idea what to do with such information and, too, didn't want to be among those being laughed at for telling outlandish stories about flying saucers. So - I filed it away in my memory bank and thought of it seldom until I saw the Jennings program the other night.

This inexact description of events of that evening probably does not advance knowledge re UFOs at all but at least and at last I've told it. I am a feet-on-the-ground sort of person; never before had I experienced something of that kind, nor have I since. ((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate.

I was only 14 when I went outside to get away from the plumbers beating and nailing,when I saw this object that resembled something like a fighter jet.But this was huge and gave off all types of colors with no sound.I'm not a scientist,but it looked like all types of gases came together to form it because how abstract all the colors were.

Just random,green,yellow,red,etc.Bright colors.I ran inside to get my mother.

She went back to get the plumber.His reply was"I don't know what the hell that is"In about an hour,it very slowly faded away.Later that night it made the news as a weather ballon.

I have yet to see a weather ballon or any other ballon resemble this. ((NUFOR Note: Witness indicates that the date of the incident is approximate. PD)).

It came, it saw , it left but where did it go or come from? I should not be mentioning this stuff due to the fact that it has been a long time ago but I know what I saw. I just want to get it off my chest and find out if such a phenomenom is possible. I was sitting on a bench with a friend of mind in his mother's backyard.

It was night time and we were talking about jobs. I looked up into the night sky which was clear but had a few clouds. Within a matter of seconds, a solid ball of light come out of no where, from right to left, as if from an invisible door.

It stopped and just hovered for about 5 seconds then it returned back from left to right into that invisible door persay. I think about it every other chance I get. Especially when I see perculiar documentaries on tv.

I do not need to have correct gramma because I know what I saw and I do believe whenever I see facts that such a thing is possible, I will feel at ease. Thank you for listening. Now, you can shred it as though it is a mere prank.

I ! know it happened and that is all that matters to me. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides little contact information. Date is approximate.
