All Reported UFO Sightings in Heflin, Alabama

Full Report Text:

In the Summer of 2013 I was on my front porch in Heflin, Alabama. I was looking at the Southern Sky just about dark (central time). I had been looking each night for a comet, that was supposed to be seen in our area.

I did not see the comet, BUT I did see this large round object through my binoculars. The first thing I said to myself was, “What in the hell is that?” I was home alone at the time so no one else saw it, so I decided not to say anything about it. Since then, I have only told my wife.

It has really bothered me every day since I saw it. I just want to know if anyone may know what I saw, and/or if anyone else has reported seeing something similar during the same time period? It is driving me crazy not knowing what I saw!! I am no artist, but I have drawn a picture to show you what it looked like. Per the conversation you had with my wife on 20OCT2016, I have scanned the picture and emailed it to you, with the subject line of: “UFO Sighting - Summer of 2013 – Heflin, Alabama” It was almost dark and looking through my binoculars at the Southern Sky (CT), this round object appeared.

It looked like it was giving off a fiery light and had to be huge!! I observed it for about 30 seconds, then it just suddenly vanished!! I know what I saw and no one will convince me otherwise. I will be willing to take a lie detector test, or to be hypnotized if it will help to confirm my statement. Many thanks for your time and assistance.

Low flying angular object seen near Hollis Crossroads. Heflin, Alabama. Jan.

28 2006 Me and three friends were on our way to Anniston, Alabama in two seperate vehicles. It was around 6 and it was dusk. There was still light in the sky and we could see an outline of the object we saw soon after.

We had just turned at Hollis Crossroads and were driving down the road when we saw what was either a very low flying object, or an enormous object at a higher altitude. It was trianglular with a flashing green light on it. It moved slowly, or slower than a plane would, across our field of vision, which was the windshield since it was almost directly above us.

There were trees on either side of the road and it took up most of what part of the sky we could see. We called our friends in the other vehicle to ask them if they saw it, and they said they had and described it like we did. They were about 30 seconds in front of us and said they saw it going the other direction, as if it made a loop or a circle.

There wasn't any airfield near by that we know about and it didn't look like any plane we had ever seen. If it was an airplane, it would have to be either landing, taking off, flying way too low, or gigantic. When we arrived at school the following Monday we found that 1 or 2 other people had seen the same thing at the same location.

It was unlike anything we had ever seen.

Huge ball of light seen on the ground in Talladega National Forest/Sweetwater Lake This occured during a weekend hiking trip with my brother and a friend from college. We had to night hike for a few hours on Friday. The exact location of the sighting was across from a dirt boat ramp on Sweetwater Lake, which our hiking trail passed by.

As we broke into the field that runs along the lake and watershed, the fog was very thick. This is when we first noticed flashing that we assumed to be heat lighting or something similar. By the time we reached the boat ramp, we were away from the field and completely out of the fog.

The flashes were coming from 3 points. Two points were far away enough that the source could not be seen. The 3rd flashing was across the lake and only a short distance inland (I guessed around 100 yards at the most).

The light was flashing at various intensity, length, and time. Ranging from a very small fraction of a second to nearly a second. The intensity also ranged from: just enough of a flash to see the low level clouds light up with a white ambient light, to a bizarre ball of light that peaked over the tree line by many feet.

When the ball of light was large enough, it resembled plasma. The colors were red, yellow, white, purple, etc. The ball also appeared to move around, by maybe 30 yards to the left or right.

Other than describing it as plasma, my friend suggested the side of a huge water tower was reflecting the flashes at us. There is no structure at all in the area. The flashes were coming from the center of the Talladega National Forest, indeed, there is no plumbing.

I should also note that the "ball of light" as I've called it, was only 300 yards away at most, and completely silent. We watched the 3 flashes for about 30 minutes until they became quite infrequent. It was such a strange thing to see and we still have no good idea as to what it was.

I hike there frequently and may inspect the area sometime. My best guess to date is that we saw military testing of some kind. Heflin, the nearest city, as I now know, has many reports of strange sightings and some other odd things.

The Fort McClellan Military Reservation was to our West as we watched the light to our East. The Comanche helicopter was supposedly tested in that area. Also, that whole area of Alabama is a huge military arsenal.

The military has installed solar powered sirens throughout the forest recently and some old timers explained that there is a history of weapons buried in the forest during the Cold War era who's keepers died with the knowledge of their location.

Object with bright red light hovered above my car siletly, and followed me for about five minutes then disappeared. The sighting occurred on a late October night, I had just left my girl friends house and I was on my way back to my house which was about an hour away. Basically the whole drive is on back roads, with not too many houses around just a lot of wooded country.

About fifteen minutes into my drive I started spotting a red light that looked far away from me. I figured the red light was a plane or a tower of some sort, but I kept seeing it for the next ten minutes. This red light was not blinking or flashing just a constant beam of red light.

Then all of the sudden it disappeared from the spot I was seeing it from. After about a minute or two the light appeared right above my car and it was following me. The light was much brighter now it was hard to focus on the road.

I was trying to drive and look up at the same time. The object was maybe 10 feet above my car and I was traveling at approximately 40 miles per hour. It was hovering above me following me for about five minutes.

The object made no noise. I regret that I did not stop and get out to get a better look of the UFO. I was scared stiff not knowing what it was.

All I could think about was trying to make it home. I called my parents and my friends and told them, right after it happen. I was breathing so hard that they could not understand me.

I had my doubts on believing, but this experience changed my mine completely. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD)).
