Alabama UFO Sightings in 2008

Full Report Text:

Chrome Sphere and mind control? I was on Highway 45N going to Mississippi and I was a few miles south of Citronelle, Al in a very rural area. I glanced outside the car window and saw a amazingly shiny sphere with a highly polished chrome appearance floating about 2-3 feet over a pasture area. It was approximately 30 feet from the road.

A thought entered my head that it was a Mylar balloon but it was so spherical and so still that I immediately rejected that thought. Then a thought entered my head again that it was ornamental gazing ball that are seen in peoples yards. I again rejected that thought because it was a pasture with no houses for several miles.

When I rejected that thought I felt like something left my mind!! And I had "empty feeling" in the base of my skull. It is very hard to explain. I have never had such a feeling.

It seemed that it was "suggested" to me what the object was and when I rejected those thoughts it left my head. I am 49 year old female with an executive position in a large company. I have told no one about the experience.

Weather conditions: high 30's, light wind. There wasn't any lights in the area and the stars were bright and clear. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Srange lights/unknown craft observed in E/ESE sky of NorthEastern St.Clair County Al. on night of 12/05/2008.

Observed very strangely lit object approximately 40*-50* azimuth in E/ESE sky, moving in very unconventional flight manner. Began observation @ approximately 21:35 CST and still ongoing as of 22:25 CST. Object shape difficult to discern, only noticing extremely agile motions of this object, in a manner inconsistent of any known flight craft.

Reporting made to Saint Clair County Sheriffs Department via phone at approximately 21:45 CST. Lighting appears to be multicolor red/blue/green as best as can be determined from presentation at this unknown distance, which I can best estimate as 3+ miles. I notified two of my neighbors whom saw the same unknown object, and verify that this situation was indeed occuring as reported here.

Additionally, my wife came outside and observed same sighting for several minutes as well, until too cold to remain outside any longer. ((NUFORC Note: We are grateful for the excellent report, but we believe that the witness may have been looking at Sirius, which is a very colorful object in the southeaster sky, currently. PD)).

Many slow moving lights moving in the same direction crossing two cities. On the night of November 24, 2008, my family and I were traveling into Columbus, GA from Phenix City, AL. While we were traveling East down HWY 80, my husband noticed several orange lights coming from the South heading North.

As we stopped at a red light at the intersection of Hwy 80 and Hwy 280, my husband finally asked me if I could see the lights too and if I knew what they were. At first these were seen through the trees and resembled street lights in the distance but as we sat at the red light I noticed these lights were actually moving at a slow pace. We continued East on Hwy 80 and tried to keep our eye on the lights as they became more in to view.

Soon we noticed more and the few lights we were seeing were actually 9 or 10 so we were a little intrigued as to what would be flying over in this number, but then I was able to count about 19 or more. They were appeared large and seemed to be very high in the sky. They changed direction from going North to moving East in front of us.

This acutally looked as though they just started moving sideways. We tried to keep up but kept getting stopped by red lights. We then could only watch as they continued to get farther away.

At one point it appeared that there were more appearing from the atmosphere and looked to be almost dropping slowly. At this time my children began asking if these were meteors or something else falling from space. Once they got to the horizon, they seemed to disappear.

We tried to catch up a few minutes after they got away from us, but there was nothing at all in the sky. By the time we got to the last place we saw them over the sky was very clear and we could see it very well from this new location. This was on Hwy 85 in Columbus, GA traveling Norteast.

We live near Ft. Benning so we realize this could be explained as something else, but there were just too many and they were maneuvering in ways that I have never seen. We waited so long because we were trying to see if anyone else that night witnessed the same thing.

The other people in cars around us did not seem to notice but surely someone else saw. It was very scary and all of us were shaken up for quite awhile that night. If you can get any other information to explain this phenomenon we would greatly appreciate it.

Giant green light appears ,drops and disappears. My family and I were sitting around a fire in our back yard when I saw a huge, almost moon sized green light appear in the southwest sky. It stayed there for only a couple of seconds before it fell for about a second, stopped and disappeared.

It looked very close. The strangest part of it all was the fact that after a few seconds every dog miles around us started barking for almost five minutes. I’ve seen meteors and this was too big to be a meteor.

Blue/Red/Green flashing object above Mobile, Al. I was outside last night watching the stars when I saw one that appeared to be flashing Blue/Green/Red lights. I thought it was a plane or chopper, yet, after quite some time, it never moved.

I watched it for around 30 minutes. Tonight (the next night) I went outside to see if it was a tower or anything else, and it is not in the sky tonight. It was too far out to make out any type of shape.

((NUFORC Note: Sirius? PD)).

Six U.F.O's heading to the same spot blasted by over our heads.

We were sitting on a hill having a picnic. I ventured off to look for a stick. I looked up in the sky and called to my friend.

In the sky were 5 oval shaped things with 100 feet long tails. The color of the craft was white with red flaming tails. The distance apart was at least 20 meters appart.

Planes have to be 100 meters apart so we know it can't be airplanes. When we sat back down we saw another one. They were all heading to the same spot.

Lights move from NE to SW above Montgomery AL At 06:05, on 30 October 2008, the witness did observe a bright object appearing in the North-East sky. This object appeared to be a planet like light in the sky, which moved, over a period of about 4 minutes to the South-West. As the object moved from North-East to South-West, the lights became more defined and appeared to be the landing lights of a commercial airliner.

However, the object had no flashing beacons. It appeared as though the object was several hundred feet in the air, as it passed quietly overhead. In it’s passing it’s white light appeared to change color to an orange.

After passing directly overhead, the observer noticed a conventional airliner approaching the object, on a near intercept course, but obviously at a much higher altitude. Neither object appeared to take make any noticeable course changes, or take any notice of the other. The object continued to the South-West until it disappeared.

The observer, of the above mentioned object, is employed as a Staff Engineer, working in the Communication Technology field, with over 20 years Information Technology experience.

I first noticed the object (only 1 object) on 10/11/08 - 10/13/08 between 8:30pm and 9:30pm. The object was sphere shaped and changed colors (blue, red & white). It moved rapidly up and down and from left to right sometimes it got much brighter.

The background was the night sky. It was located in the southeastern sky from 10/14 through 10/15. I didn't see the object on Thursday (10/16/08--probably because it was raining).

The object (only 1 object) was seen again on Friday (10/17/08) and looked to be in the northeast sky and the object is described as the one above. The time it was seen was approximately 11:45pm -1:20am. The object was seen tonight (10/18/08)this time there were (2) both were located in the northern sky but one was further to the left than the other.

The same shape, colors, brightness, up and down, from left to right and the erratic and rapid movement. This one was witnessed by my son. All sightings were seen at night.

I don't know if it could have been a weather balloon but it was something that didn't move like an airplane or helicopter. ((NUFORC Note: Possible "twinkling" star. PD)).

a light over the mountain What I saw was a bright small light over the mountain close to where I live it happens all the time, sometime there are days or weeks in between or a month or two but it always comes back. Sometime there are two lights one up high the other low. It looks like that they move or they sit there then the light just goes out ,but they come back then go away again it really weird this has happened several times thru the last couple of years and drove me crazy.

So I am telling someone at last, thank you very much ._ karan angle.

Very high, cigar shaped UFO moving at incredible speeds. Around the date of October 1st, 2008, I witnessed a very distant object very high up. It might have been an airplane, however, do to the altitude I'm not sure.

Another reason I'm skeptical it was a UFO is because it was moving at incredible speeds. If it was at normal airplane altitude it would be going as fast as a stealth bomber. It seemed to be white without any wings.

Honestly, I have never believed in the possibility of UFO’s. That was until tonight. What I saw is the craziest thing I have ever seen in my life.

I was standing behind my apartment and clearly saw something. It was circular and was in a cylindrical tube of blue light. The circular portion was yellow and very bright.

At first I thought it was a shooting star. The only reason I believe otherwise is because whatever this was slowed down and then disappeared into some clouds. I feel crazy writing this, but maybe there is some truth to sightings.

3 sets of burnt orange "headlights" moving as though in convoy I was lying in bed, trying to force myself to get up. I was looking out the window, and I saw three sets of what looked like headlights floating by, as though they were in a convoy. They were not bright, and caused no reflection or light movement inside the room, as a car's headlights would do.

Each orb-shaped light had a haze around it, but I couldn't make out an actual object. They moved in pairs, one pair behind the other, moving towards my house, hence my description of "headlights." I saw them for about 10 seconds, as they passed in front of my house and out of sight of me.

They moved fairly slowly, my best guess being that they were traveling about as fast a car moving at about 15-20mph. The burnt orange orbs appeared to be about the size of tennis balls from where I saw them, and they were just above the tree line along the road that passes in front of my house, about 120 yards in distance from my house,but they did not seem to get larger as they moved towards my house. I have no idea what they were or what they could have been, hence "unidentified flying object.

" Just an odd occurrence. I honestly didn't think much of it at the time, except that it was strange, until my neighbor asked later in the morning if I saw anything that was odd at about that time earlier in the morning. Apparently, they saw it also, but wouldn't say what they saw or fully admit to seeing anything (that is why I said I was the only witness).
