All Reported UFO Sightings in Montgomery, Alabama

Full Report Text:

We saw at least 10 bright starlight looking objects that flew fast and in various directions. Multiple other pilots on guard saw them. We were flying from DFW to MCO when we heard chatter on guard about some flying objects circling in the east.

They said to look about 30 degrees up on the windshield and to the east. We did and we immediately spotted them. They flew fast and flew multiple directions.

They would come close to each other then split off in various positions. They looked the size and color of a satellite yet they flew very odd patterns.

In a telescope it looked like a purplish pink spec, to the eye was black almost spherical So this was over our house about 5-8k, watched it cover huge amount of space before disappearing over 50-60k cumulus towers. Kind of weird, no sound or trail. Top 2 photos are from my phone, bottom 2 from encounters from DHS.

Color in telescope was like a shiny polarized purplish pink. It was hard to track because of how fast it was moving around before going up and away. I just posted my social media description.

Fast moving soundless white sphere A small white spherical object moved across the sky from NW to SE in a straight trajectory from horizon to horizon with seconds and was quite visible in the clear daytime sky. A plane was flying far above in the sky at the time and appeared to be moving very slowly in comparison. In comparison the plane appeared larger.

There was no sound and it left no trail. I've never seen anything like it before and wondered if satellites can be seen during the daytime like that and if they move across the sky that quickly? (Although it appeared to me to be closer to the Earth than the plane far above it, but maybe that was an illusion to my eye?).

7 silent red orbs moving at a moderate rate of speed, high up in the sky, and then disappearing into the clouds. 10 minutes. While on break outside where I work in the parking lot, me and another fellow employee on break saw a total of 7 circular red orbs moving from NNE to SSW at a moderate rate of speed.

First there were two, and then as they moved further South they disappeared into the clouds, then three more appeared moving from and to the same direction, and as they disappeared, then two more appeared moving from and to the same direction (moving NNE to SSW). These moved over the entirety of the city of Montgomery and were still heading south until they disappeared into the clouds.

2 extremely bright lights moving slowly and disappearing in night sky. I was on my front porch after the sun went down looking up at the stars and I see 2 bright lights near this one star towards the south. They were nearly as bright as Alpha Centauri.

They stayed still for about 30 seconds then they both started moving slowly at the same speed toward the star then the first one disappeared. The second went a little past the star and disappeared as well. Nothing else strange happened afterwards but my mouth was wide open in awe.

Fireball in the sky. Looking from a distance it appeared as an big dark orange star. then it started to move over in the direction in which I was driving.

It began to get lower which made it look bigger to revealed a deep orange red center with a light orange ragged outter side. Then it proceeded to shoot upward in a zigzag motion until it was no longer within my view.freaked me out.

UFO - Montgomery Alabama A bright white light appeared over downtown Montgomery prior to the firework show. It then turned red, and proceeded to go away and towards our location real fast. Then it turned on a dime and flew at jet plane speed to the east and out if sight.

Then returned as fast as it left and hovered over Montgomery for about four minutes then disappeared. Its altitude was approximately 5000 feet and was too fast for a drone. I took pictures with my I phone but too many city lights make it difficult to ID.

triangle shaped ufo with white lights Saw the figure driving home from college night class. Was hovering so I thought it was a helicopter, but didnt move for at least 3 minutes. Then got up closer to it and pulled over on the side of the interstate at the first millbrook exit.

It started moving, it was in the shape of a triangle with no blinking lights on it. Bright white lights on the front of the craft. Kept hovering over this field across the interstate and dropping down below the tree line.

It was very big hard to determine exact size. It faced me once but only to turn back towards behind the tree line. Shortly after dropping back down it stayed down.

Then a small light of some sort came from behind the tree line and left the area.

Four glowing orbs present in the night sky, traveling not spontaneously, and making no noise. We saw a red glowing orb that changed sometimes from yellowish orange to red. It made a slow (slower than a plane) arc from right to left.

It then traveled toward us for a little bit, then directly away and the light dimmed out. A few seconds later, a second orb did the same thing, but traveling a little bit differently. It's light dimmed out, and then we saw a third orb.

A fourth orb going in an opposite direction (90 degrees from these three) came into view. It was more obscured by trees. The light glowed, and was not like an electric light.

It's movement was not spontaneous. The first orb came toward us, changing from it's original direction, and then moved in the exact opposite way, sped up, and then dimmed out. It made no noise.

High, fast, zig-zag/wobbly flight pattern . My daughter and I were sitting in the backyard looking at the Perseid meteor shower when we noticed a strange aircraft much higher in the sky than any of the other planes we had been observing that evening. It had all bright white lights and was traveling toward the N-NE extremely fast with a zig-zag/wobbling sort of flight pattern, unlike any aircraft that we had ever seen.

It continued on it's jerky direct path until we could no longer see it. Does anyone know what that craft could possibly be? ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

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.

Massive UFO event in Montgomery, Alabama I am a huge astronomy buff and view the sky every evening, weather permitting. I make it a habit to turn all of the outdoor lighting off for better viewing with my telescope. The event began at 3:30 am in Montgomery, Alabama with a single, low altitude object arriving from the northwest and becoming stationary.

I immediately realized the craft was not a plane, helicopter or anything I recognized because of it's coloration and behavior. Minutes later, other objects began to eminate from the first object in all directions at different intervals. All of the other objects were similar in shape and light features to the first object, just smaller.

Then the show began. The objects in total were too numerous to count and performed spectacular aerial manuevers for two solid hours. My wife, who also witnessed the event, and I were exhilerated beyond description.

Neither of us have ever witnessed such a massive UFO event before and I can assure you that we were completely mesmerized. We simply sat down on the ground and watched in total awe the magnificent display that was occuring right in our own backyard! We did not lose sight of the objects until the sun rose, and only then because they just seemed to "fade away"!.

Unknown flying object in Alabama I had just completed a report for college, and was taking the trash out. During the time i was outside, i was trying to spot which way the sun would rise, i thought the whole event was funny because while it was a little bright on one side it was still dark on the other side. When the garbage can was finnaly by the road, i decieded to take in more of the early morning view and as i'm turning around to look for the moon i spotted what appeared to be a star.

When i watched the object in question for about three more minitues i noticed that it moved very slightly, i was trying to reasonable about it could have been, first i thought it could have been an airplane but realised that it was'nt simply because of the time, it wasnt a blimp also because of the time, i tried to mentally check off a list of every possible of what it could have been, but i could come up with explanation of what it was. So i called my older sister outside of the house to come take a look, and all she could do was look no words could excape her mouth, so i asked her "what do you think it is, i truly think its a UFO," and she answered "it looks like one!?" then asked her "does it appear as though it is moving?" and she said yes, i then told her to watch while i get my camara, she then shouted "hurry up it looks like its leaving!" a couple of seconds later she said "never mind its still there." as i run outside the house with my camara and snap the first picture, it starts to move more and with every picture i took the more it moved, finally when i thought that i had enough pictures, my sister and myself retreated back into the house, at around 4:55 a.

m. i went back outside to see if was still there and it was, which lead me to believe that it was there long after i went back into my home. At the time the pictures were taken everyone in the neighborhood was still asleep, because when i atempted to show the pictures to a close friend and neighbor, she and her mother did not believe me, which left me disheartened at what i and my sister had seen.

Triangular objects of incredible speed and movement At Approx. 02:45 while on post as Security Officer on vehicle patrol near downtown Montgomery, I noticed 2 strange objects in the air above me. These objects appeared to be at about 10,000 ft.

They had strobe lights that emanated along the entire length of all 3 sides of each object as well as 3 large pulsing lights under what i will say is the bottom of each object and i noticed a low humming noise coming from the air. The objects moved slowly at first, almost seeming to hover, and after about 20 seconds they exited to the west in a burst of speed that I can only describe as almost instantaneous. The objects then stopped again and were only visible as 2 pulsing lights at that point.

The objects again moved to the West and dissapeared completely. The objects maintained exact distance from each other during this entire time and the altitude of the objects did not seem to change during this sighting. The event lasted about 30 Seconds.

pilots see unknown Enroute from Houston to Columbia, SC at 35,000 feet in a jet airliner. As captain I noticed an unknown aircraft at my 10 o'clock position high. At first I thought it was another aircraft and looked at my TCAS.

There was no aircraft around in that vicinity. I then looked back at the craft noticing it was passing us like we were sitting still while we were at Mach .78.

I also noticed it was at least 40,000 feet higher than us. Pointed the target out to the first officer and she saw it as well. It may have been a satellite but it seemed to change directions as got directly off our nose and then dissappeared.

Object seemed to have a strobes. We both know it was not a shooting star so it was either satellite or unexplained. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain semi-anonymous.

A light in sky that changed shapes. It was a green and red light. It change shapes and forms.

After about 10 minutes it dissapeared!.

Full Report Text:

Bright moving light spotted east of Montgomery, AL in early a.m. ~2 hours before sunrise Very bright relative to normal star brightness spotted in sky ~45 degrees from horizon due east of Montgomery.

Light was moving slowly relative to a star appearing near it in the sky. After observing this movement about 10 seconds, the light stopped. Several minutes passed by and the light remained stationary.

I figured if I went to my office (from the parking lot where I initially spotted the light) and the light was not there, classifying the light as an 'unidentified' flying object would be justified. I went to my office, looked out the window and only saw the relatively dim star near where the light was, but the bright light was gone. Please contact ((e-address deleted)) to report similar observances.

If the UFO appears again during the next couple weeks, I will consider purchasing a telescope/camcorder to make a video for your viewing pleasure. ((NUFORC Note: The ISS was not visible from Montgomery, AL, on October 04, 2004, so that could not have been the cause of the sighting. PD)).
