My 9 year old son and I both saw a dark grey sphere shaped craft. My 9 year old son and I had just stepped outside onto our back porch to skywatcher. It was around 11am.
I was watching the sky when I had seen a dark grey sphere. There was no light emanating from it. It was probably a half a mile away from us.
I asked my son if it was a bird. He has really good vision. He said no that it wasn’t a bird at all.
We watched it come towards us and then after 5 seconds it changed direction and headed East. Maintaining its sphere shape. There was no noise and we only saw one.

Object observed traveling west with a small cloud behind it. I was traveling from Dothan to Enterprise on hwy 84 when I saw an object at an high altitude. It had what looked like a contrail, but the trail was very short and moved with the object.
The front of the object would glow bright the diminish, but it could still be seen heading west. The sun was setting, but there was still plenty of visibility. A second light appeared below the object to the south of it.
The second object flew north parallel to the horizon. When it had went north it completely disappeared, and wasn't seen again. The first object continued west for a span of 10-15 minutes.
It went behind a large cloud. When we got to the point that we could see through what was left of the cloud the object was no longer visible. My background is a mechanic in aviation, and this was very disturbing.

Silent Moving Bright Light makes "impossible" 90 degree turn to the west At 05:11 CST this morning retired Army Officer, veteran, and career military aviator was standing in the back yard of his home in Southeast Alabama (performing usual sky-watch activities), when he witnessed an anomalous object perform an impossible maneuver against the bright star field over his head. Appearing (blinking on) where he happened to be looking at about 40 degrees elevation into the western sky, a "Mars bright" object (Mars was also seen) silently appeared at about 290 deg and traveled at a rate of approximately three degrees a second north to south for 10 degrees, where it made a hard (snap!) "protoplasm-smearing" 90 degree to due west. traveling another degree or so before blinking out.
Sighting was complete in under 10 seconds. Witness is not misleading, misled or mentally ill. Witness saw more than mere birds, boosters, bolides, or balloons.
He was not seeing fairies, suffering vapors. or having an "episode.".

Three to four different oblects together being attacked by jets. It was about 11:23 Pm and i was heading home from work and i looked up in the sky through the front windsheild of my car and i saw about 3 to 4 red,blue,green,and white objects they looked like they were together in a straight line. Then some jets came tward it and it looked like they blew it up i live near an army base and we have jets and other flying vehicles flying over all the time so i would have been able to know weather it was a jet of some sort or not.
It looked like nothing i had ever seen before. they were at a high spot in the sky they stayed in that spot for about 4 minutes and then faded.

Blue Oval Object Sited. The object was An Oval Shape with a Light Blue in Color,Moving Fairly Slow I couldn't realy tell how fast because it was far away,and I only looked at it for about five,or ten minutes because it was very cold outside. The Backround was after dark with stars,and cloudy.
At the time I just thought it was A hellocopter,but now as I think about it A hellocopter would not look blue like it did,and would move faster. Around it was A light haze,It also left A Thin White Trail behind it. ((NUFORC Note: We presume the witness means 1845 hrs.
, since he refers to "after dark with stars." PD)).

Large black triangular ship seen near Enterprise, Alabama. I was traveling in my semi, east on highway 82 about 10 miles outside Enterprise, Alabama. It was dark that night, but we had a clear sky.
I could tell i had very large fields on both sides and up ahead i could see a tree line about a mile ahead. All of a sudden i saw bright lights moving through the trees and thought it was a car, but when the lights went upward i knew it wasn't. As the lights came above the trees, i saw a faint out line and for a moment thought it was a huge airplane, but when i got close i saw it was a huge triangular ship hovering slowly above the trees about 100 feet.
The ship was black and as big as a football stadium. My Heart leaped in my throat when i saw it and i edged over to the side of the highway to watch it. There were no other vehicles around so i turned off my truck to see if i could hear anything and it was deathly quiet.
Absolutely no noise. Then one of it's bright lights, which were in each corner of the ship, rotated downward and was spotlighting the field as it passed over the trees and then above the field. It traveled very slow in a southward direction and finally slowly disappeared over the horizon.
I started my truck back up and proceeded to head on towards Enterprise. On my way i met a few other truckers and asked them over the CB if they had seen any strange lights, but to my surprise not one person had seen anything. ((NUFORC Note: Date of sighting may be approximate, although the witness does not indicate that fact.
PD)).

Very low, very slow flying, silent, black trapezoid viewed by 4 family members for about two minutes On the particular UFO sighting night, I had been out of doors for quite a while and was getting chilled and tired of the lawn chair. The duration of my stargazing session was probably from around 8 PM to nearly 10PM that nite. Just to be safe, I'd say that the hours from 730PM to 11PM found me outside looking up.
Well about the time I get up to go inside, my mom or dad, comes out back to get me. Here's the odd part. I'm right outside a little ways into the back yard (which is chainlink fenced for our dog) to be apart from the ambient light from the house.
We had sliding glass doors to the back yard and a small concrete patio. So I'm out in the yard and instead of going right into the den through the sliding doors I get up and walk north to the yard fence gate and go through it around to the carport and enter the house through the utility/laundry room into the kitchen. I took off my coat and may have had a blanket to put away and then go into the kitchen which opens into the den.
Huh.no family in the den??? Wonder where they went, I'm thinking? About that time they all ( both parents, older brother, and younger sister) come back into the house through the sliding glass doors into the den. The ensuing conversation goes something like this.
Where'd you guys go?-I ask. Out back looking fo you! -they replied. All of you?-I ask.
Yea,.did you see it? See what? The UFO! No,.you guys are kidding me, right? NO! didn't you SEE it? No, I didn't.
Where was it? What did it look like? It was right over the house, It was HUGE, black and made no noise! They all were looking at me quite seriously and no acting or practical joking was going on because my disbelief and smiling about their responses should have cracked at least my little sister's composure. She was about10 -11 years old at the time. You guys are joking, right? No! they insisted.
How big was it? What color was it? What did it do, where did it go? What did it look like? WHY didn't you get me? They thought I was also looking at it the same time but didn't see me because I was walking around the house and went under the carport. Plus they were all looking up. My dad, a 20 year Army pilot then got a sheet of notebook paper folded it in half and drew what they witnessed.
It was silent, dark grey or flat black in color without insignia of any kind visible. No panels, windows, landing gear, protrusions or cockpit were visible. Four small red lights located on the underside that were constant in nature were seen.
The altitude was twice a telephone pole above the ground as it flew over telephone poles and the tree tops in our neighborhood at the time were lower than this. Size of the craft was in the 60-80 foot width and 45-55 foot length. Flat was the general profile description my family gave.
The drawing my dad did within a couple of minutes of the sighting was that of a trapezoid, not a true triangle, but an equilateral triangle with the apex missing at near the half-way point. No rounded edges or bulges. The small red lights were located near the corner points of the craft.
Altitude and speed remained constant during viewing. They viewed it for about 90 seconds to two minutes as it went from North to South across the backyards of Victoria drive (map availabel upon request) crossing Rucker Blvd and continuing on out of view. Estimated speed was between 5 and 25 MPH maybe closer to 10 MPH.
My dad held up his hand palm down and demonstrated a slow, smooth flight. He also indicated that he could have hit it with a baseball, hand thrown. Kind of amazing to me after all these evenings that I'm out back with good quality "big eyes" as I call them (binox) and my normal path into the house would have put me right into the den with the family, but noooo, I go slowly around the house under the carport while the first of my family members to see the craft calls the rest outside to witness the event and I miss the whole thing.
I have never before reported this event.
