MY DAD had a deck beside the House, where i occasionaly sit & watch the stars at Night I sometimes go out to look at the stars once or twice a week.anyway i was watching for a good while, it was a dark blue night, about a couple of hours i was getting tired so i was about to go back in the House.i was getting up ready to go back inside, when i looked up and saw A BLACK TRIANGLER SHAPED CRAFT of something, i didnt know what it was at first i thought it was a KITE, but at 2:00am in the morning, i dont think so.
i was trying to figure out what it could had been, i knew it wasnt a PLANE.it was to quite and too slow, and too low, about 100 feet above.it seemed as though it glided along real slow.
no noise whatsoever, i watched it for a couple of minutes,I didnt see any markings at all it was just a DARK BLACK TRIANGLE, going up to my right a bit, i got down off the deck and to the edge of my yard just watching it just passing by our block, it didnt have any lights whatsoever it was TRIANGLER, about the size of a car, for what i could see.i've always been puzzled over this.thought about it from time to time.
could it be a UFO i dont know.But for once in my LIFE I finally saw something really ODD that Night.it could'nt had been a STEALTH, too low, too little, too slow.

Triangle UFO in early 90's chased by helicopters. In early 90's couple of friends and me were playing outside at night in moody alabama when we heard a noise. Looked to our right and out behind trees came a triangle shaped UFO with different colored lights flashing around it, red orange blue etc.
Two helicopters were chasing it and were right on its tail. We ran in and told our parents. Later on friends and I lost touch.
Have wondered past 20 plus years if what I remember was real or just a dream. Have searched internet for years but found no description similar to what I saw. Until now.
Found on this site someone describing same experience close to same town, early 90's, helicopters chasing it, different colored lights and all. I finally feel some vindication.

A single yellow "fireball" appeared just over the tree line off highway 43 in Wagarville, Alabama. Moments after spotting the object, 5 similar objects ejected from the first fireball one after the other in a straight line. The fireballs hovered for what could have been only seconds, then they just disappeared, or fizzled out.
My mother and I were on a return trip from Mobile, Alabama one afternoon after having visited my grandmother and done some shopping. I was about 12 or 13 years old, and my mother, a medical technologist, was in her early 40's. It was between 4:00 and 5:00 PM, and the sun was still above the horizon.
As we were nearing Jackson, Alabama, our home town, we were on the north side of Wagarville, Alabama when I looked to my right and noticed a single bright yellow/orange sphere hovering above the treeline. I turned to my mom to get her to look at the strange object when I noticed that she was already staring at the fiery globe. Then I turned to observe the object again, and after a couple of seconds, one - by - one 5 or 6 objects of the same nature shot out, or ejected, from the first in a right - to - left motion, until they were all in a straight line.
The objects hovered there for only a moment, then they disintegrated, or vanished. Mom and I both looked at each other, and neither of us said anything. Finally I said, "Mom! What was all that about!?".
It looked something like a fireworks display, only I knew it wasn't. The objects didn't flicker like fireworks, and fireworks don't hover. I still think about this incident from time to time, and cannot for the life of me fathom what it was I saw that afternoon.

A light on the horizon moving in quick and unusual manner before disappearing. I was standing on a boat dock casually looking at stars. I noticed a blinking light to the South-Southwest at approximately 45 degrees.
The light was small and at a considerable distance. I initially thought it was just an airplane or helicopter. The light began moving East and back West in very fast straight lines.
The movements were first short and then covered increasingly longer distances until it was due South, standing still directly over the horizon of the lake. The light then moved up and down in quick jerking motions, and East and West in very short jerking motions. It then shot off diagonally to the South-Southwest at a speed faster than any of it's earlier movements and disappeared.
I often spend time watching for another similar light but have seen nothing in the 10 + years since. It is important to note that in 1992 the army base at Fort McLelland, which is now closed, was still open. Fort McLelland is South-Southeast of Weiss Lake where the sighthing occurred.
The date of the sighting was near other sightings in Northeast Alabama. ((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate. PD)).

Metallic disc on a beautiful sunny afternoon moving at astounding speed A friend and I were traveling on hwy 91 from Hollypond to Hanceville. At about county road 665 heading southwest an object flickered on the horizon directly in front of us. It was a beautiful sunny day and I think the object had flickered from the sun reflecting off of it.
In the blink of an eye it zipped directly over us. No sound and no sonic boom as this metallic disc zipped straight over us in the opposite direction. It was 150-200 ft in the air and appeared to be approximately 75 ft wide.
The speed it was traveling was astounding, coming from as far as we could see on the horizon, to zipping past us in a couple of seconds. I stopped the vehicle as I almost took out a mailbox trying to see it in my mirror. My friend and I just looked at each other and were both in awe of what we had seen.
Neither one of us said anything till a few miles later. I asked my friend if they knew what that was, because I knew I did. Their reply, “It was a flying saucer!”.

It was like it was watching me. I can never for get it. I was young, maybe about 12 years old; playing with my Ninja Turtles.
Then I felt a feeling that something was watching me until I slowly looked up and seen this disk shaped object… I yelled to my brother, then the craft started to move, jolting down and up back and forth until it shot straight off, no sound not nothing at all just gone. Later on after I moved from Alabama back to New York City; I think was a year later, In Brooklyn N.Y.
I have one witness for that one… anyway I was reading my Bible sitting on the stoop and seen a star doing crazy patterns (left 2 to 3 Seconds, up 2 to 3 seconds, right 2 to 3 seconds) and it just shoots right off. I called to my sisters dad and he came out, I sad to him “ have you seen a UFO?” He said “No” and I pointed up to him and he seen the same thing what I was seein. I’m not delusional after all.

I dont know if this is a dream or not I have been having a reoccuring dream as of late, all i can remember about it is that it takes place at early morning (the sun has just come up over the trees), that it is winter time(there are no leaves on the trees). I awake and am drawn to look out the window of my bedroom(it faces the south) and I look up in the sky towards the east and just above the rising sun, I see a black oval shaped disk. i turn to run out of my bedroom, I get down the stairs, turn to run to my parents bedroom, and just as I get there im stopped and I cant go any further, I try and call out, but I cant make a sound.
after that the dream goes blank. That is all I can remember. Ive been afraid to tell anybody for fear that I will be considered crazy.
As far as how old I was at the time, I would have to say 9 or 10. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that date of incident is approximate. PD)).
