Looked into the sky over the bay and these lights were appearing and moving west to east. I looked west over Mobile Bay at 9:36PM and saw 22 lights floating and moving west to east. I initially thought it was Starlink however, the lights were not organized in the same manner in a straight line.
I stop to film the event. It was extremely surreal, as I have never seen anything like it before.

See them daily. Coming close to me now. Saw alien creatures recently.
Seen day and night. I'm seeing VERY many various shapes, sizes, colors and all are shape shifting. I have 3 videos of fake planes.
They're all ufos disguised as planes. I'm seeing them day and night. I have so many pics that it was hard to choose.
Only one created a reddish pink mist. Animals across street starts barking when ufos comes down low. Had a tiny one fly in front of my face.
Caught it in video. All had different mannerisms. Some hovered for long periods.
Some flew by fast. In the 1st picture, a big white one with tiny little ones all around it are on the ground and what looks like aliens behind it looking at the tree which has ufos beside it. I've caught one's with MANY lights around entire circular shape.
I hear a low humming noise but not always. I see these by the hundreds at times. As stated, I have 3 videos of fake, shape shifting planes and TONS of pictures of all different kinds, colors, shapes and sizes of these ships (ufos).
Never thought I'd see this day come and especially never thought I'd be filling out a UFO sighting form. I've been a huge skeptic all my life. Not anymore! Much thanks! Connie Merrihew.

Large bright stationary object - then disappeared. My wife and I were resting on a deck overlooking Mobile Bay facing SW to W. I saw a bright light in the cloudless sky about 90 degrees off horizon.
Looked like large bright aircraft - but did not move and was stationary for long time. I then took a few photos and zoomed in on the very bright object. I then took a short 11-second video and object disappeared.
My wife also saw this object. We were totally perplexed trying to figure out the object was so high in the sky, so bright and then fast disappearing. I am a former military pilot.
I had not consumed any alcohol. When the photo is zoomed in on, it has hard angles shapes, and blinked. It disappeared very fast.
I’ve never seen such an object.

Fireball moving across the sky for a good 2 minutes. It came up from the south bout 10pm or looking in south direction and seemed to travel north east my two bubbies said it was a jet on fire or something I keep saying it was way too high to be a jet. i first spotted it coming up from some trees across the road were we were standing in the middle of town it seemed to go straight up and then traveled north east till it disappeared.
It lasted bout 1 to 2 min no way it as a meteor nothing could of held a trajectory like that and stay light up like it was just skipping across our atmosphere. It had to be a spacecraft or some kind of sub orbital experimental aircraft. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates a city of "Gairhope, AL.
" We suspect he intended "Fairhope," and we have amended the name of the city above. PD)).

Strange lights seen over Fairhope Alabama Last night around 10:30 a group of 9 people witnessed strange lights moving across the sky. There was a large mass traveling north to south (according to the compass on my phone). As the lights moved across the sky, one of them would drop every few seconds.
The large mass moved towards another group of lights that seemed stationary. The lights the mass moved towards were grouped in kind of a line, but all through this time a few of the lights left the formation and dropped down. After all the lights grouped together, they moved together east to west (again, a guess according to my phone), all along dropping a few along the way.
We watched until they went out of sight. We all agree it was strange that the lights stayed still and came together, then changed direction and moved off together. I tried to film it with my phone, but the video just looks black.
We were able to get a few pictures though and I will send those in an email as instructed below. We all took pictures and tried to record it, maybe the equipment you guys have can see it from the film, but I cannot. I thought it was the meteor shower or something, but now I’m not certain.

2 different objects on the same day at 2 different times This is not the exact time or the date. It was around this time and date though. My friend and I were hanging out on our street.
There were 6 other people there too who did not witness the event. My friend and I decided to leave the group of people and hide behind a flower bed to see what the groups would do. It was a fairly clear day, no wind and about 60 degrees outside.
The group came looking for us and I was looking south while they were coming up the street facing north. I watching them looking for us and over the tree line I noticed a metallic/gray rounded/cigar shapped object. It was moving up and down as it was flying from the east to the west.
It would drop about a 250 feet then a few seconds later go straight up to its intial attitude. It did this multiple times until it vanished about 10 seconds later. Later that same night about 19:00 my friend(the same one from earlier) and I were playing basketball as my friend was shooting he witnessed a blue light go across the sky.
It was moving about a moderate speed and was only one blue light there were no blinking lights which made me know its not a plane and no tell so it was not a comet, shooting star, etc. He pointed it to me while he was in shock We witnessed it about 5 seconds. After these two events I came home and did not tell anyone due to the fear of people think I am crazy etc… ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date is approximate.
PD)).
