All Reported UFO Sightings in Orange Beach, Alabama

Full Report Text:

Fast, low flying white cloud with object inside turned into triangle craft then shot off. A strange white cloud moving low and fast was spotted over ocean. It looked like a white school bus shaped object inside a cloud.

It all moved as one. I grabbed my phone as it changed shape into a swirling pattern. Then the front became a reflective triangular object.

The triangle shot off in the blink of an eye, leaving the cloud part behind. The cloud stopped moving, turned grayish, and slowly disappeared.

ORAGNE-RED FIREBALL ENORMOUS TEARDROP SHAPED UFO These photos were taken by me with my Samsung Galaxy SM-A516U. Original EXIF information intact. I was sitting at the water's edge on the beach in Orange Beach, Alabama late at night.

I stood up to leave and turned around, so that I faced north (with my back to the Gulf of Mexico). I noticed in the distance (several miles away, at an altitude of about 10,000 ft to 15,000 ft) a strange, very large orange-red fireball in the sky. In the photos, it's the orange fireball above and to the right of the Sea Chase condo building.

It was moving slowly back and forth, left to right. The fireball grew brighter and the color started oscillating from red to orange-yellow. I could see the outlines of an enormous black, triangular / teardrop shaped craft.

It was more than 300 ft long. Just as I started to take photos, it rotated on a z-axis and started to ascend, then suddenly - poof - it was gone. I left the beach about 2:30 am - about an hour after taking the photos; as one would expect, the roads were completely empty -- except for two black suburbans with "US Government - AF" license plates that passed me as I headed west on HWY-182.

Photos taken facing NORTH at Sea Level. ONLY THE FIRST THREE PHOTOS SHOW THE UFO - UAP -- the other two photos show the sky after it zoomed away. GPSLatitude - 30 15 57.

I noticed the object in a picture I took on a fishing trip. Did not see in real time Deep sea fishing trip. Ran into rough seas so snapped a few pictures.

Later that day I noticed an unusual object in the picture. It has been suggested I submit to someone who might identify the object.

Flaming Fireball The Size of a Building Over Island Standing outside center of island facing West, HUGE fireball the size of a house comes flying over my right shoulder from the East, parallel to the gulf. I was on the phone and I screamed. It was definitely in our atmosphere, at an altitude of around 15,000 feet.

I was prepared to hear a catastrophic boom, but I never heard a point of contact. It was flaming and hundreds of thousands of times larger than any shooting star I see here regularly.

Orange ball, sphere I was staying at the Hampton inn there on the beach. It was the night after hurricane issac passed brought, I was down with my dog for the hurricane,I am a storm chaser. I came out on the balcony, looked up and noticed two or three pelicans just hovering out about three feet out in the gulf like they were looking for something below- they were I guess thirty or forty feet high and at first I thought they were some sort of UFO-looked very earie, all of a sudden a very bright orange ball appeared where the pelicans were and stayed a couple of seconds then abruptly shot straight down and it freaked me out so bad I ran in the room to my dog, I knew it was some sort of craft and I immediately thought of being abducted and didn't go back out for a few minutes, when I did, the birds were still there acting strange still.

I went down to the lobby, only a handful of people were even at orange beach that night, news crews , ect.

Set of three lights floating over the Gulf of Mexico Looking West down the beach over the gulf of Mexico we saw a set of three lights appear and disappear 3 times. The lights were equally spaced apart and changed from orange to white and faded out one at a time. They seemed to be floating.

Unfortunately we never reached for a video Recorder which we truly are regretting. It was exciting but left us questioning what we were witnessing.

Star shaped shot across sky, stopped briefly and then shot back in the same direction as it came very fast. My wife and I were sitting on the beach looking at shooting stars. I saw what I thought was a bright star shooting across the sky.

It looked like other stars but was bigger and brighter. As I was watching, what I thought was a star suddenly stopped. It stayed in a stationary position for about 5 seconds and shot back in the direction that it came from at a high rate of speed and was out of sight in about 3 seconds.

I looked at my wife and she asked me if I saw something in the sky. I didn't tell her what I saw at that moment because I wanted to hear her describe what she saw. It was exactly the same thing that I had seen.

I'm not saying it was a spacecraft but I have no idea what it was.

star like object flys in night sky On June 3, 2007, a friend and I was fishing in Orange Beach, Alabama at the Alabama point bridge. The fishing place was packed full of people, probably of about fifty people because every fishing spot was taken up by someone fishing from underneath the bridge to the other end of the breaker wall where the road pavement ends which is about two hundred feet from point to point. We arrived at the fishing place at about 4:00PM.

The sky was clear, and it was very windy. It wasn't too hot because of the wind. At that time, not too many people were catching fish.

The tide was going out into the Gulf, and quicker as each hour passing thus creating a swift current in the boating channel. Around 8:00PM, darkness began. Stars also began appearing.

When it got dark, the fish bites became more regular rather then far between. I was fixated on this large star located due east, probably a planet because it was so large. Around 9:00PM while glancing now and then at this large star, I noticed star like object appear near the large star.

At first, I thought another star was appearing as the night time sky above was slowly rotated over us. My thoughts then changed to possibly a plane approaching us, but if it was a plane, it wasn't the normal white light that a plane normally projects forward as it fly in the sky. At one point while I was watching this object get closer to our position which I estimated the object was at least five miles away, I thought I saw it jitter up and down.

I squint with my eyes thinking maybe the wind was tossing me around a little thus causing me to see this object jiggling up and down slightly. That didn't help, the object still appeared to be jiggling around almost as in sharp jerks of up, down, and sideways motion. I called out to my friend who was intensely fishing, "Do you see that star"? She was almost ignoring me when she finally look up at me and saw me pointing to the star like object, then she glanced at the star like object.

I then said, "I think it! s an UFO ". She looked at it for a few seconds then went back fishing not saying a word since a fish was tugging at her pole which she caught. When I first saw this object, it was about the same size as the star like planet, but slightly smaller.

Then something very odd happen which I now changed my mind of it being a star or plane. The object was probably about two or three miles away at about 5,000 feet in altitude from our position when it made a wide turn to the north. If it was a plane, technically, I shouldn't have longer seen its headlights.

Not only that, I should have seen its strobe lights flashing to indicate that it was a plane. No identification lights were seen. And it still look like a star.

The altitude the object was at was extremely way too low for it to be a satellite. The alarm bells went off inside me: UFO. I always carry a camera in my car and luckily, the battery was still charged, and I haven't used up all of the digital space.

I quickly walked to the car and grab the camera. I could have quickly took some pictures in automatic mode, but I didn't trust that the camera would take a picture in that mode, especially with the flash possibly occurring and distorting the picture. I quickly search for the night time mode of available light on my camera knowing that I should get a picture in that mode, but forgot about the shutter speed, it was too was slow.

I found the object in the sky now looking at its backside which it is also getting further away from me at the speed of a slow moving jet. I took the first picture shot and I was stun because the shutter was staying opened too long, so I tried as best as I could to hold the camera steady. After about a second, the stutter closed.

I was really worried that the shutter would stay open for about five seconds. Anybody who has ever tried to take night picture could probably tell you what will happen if you hold the camera while the shutter is too slow. I had no time to change the mode, so I took another picture holding the camera as steady as possible.

I was able to get four pictures before I could no longer see the object in the monitor. While I was taking the pictures, one of the fishermen look at me and then looked at the direction I was taking the picture. He noticed the object and asked me, "What is it"? I replied, "Probably an UFO".

He looked back at it again then looked at me strangely then continue on fishing. For the rest of the night, he just ignored me as if I was a fruit cake or a nut. People, I just don't understand while some people can't believe that UFO's can be possible.

Some worried that by believing UFO's are possible may affect their religious beliefs. I'm religious, but it hasn't affect by beliefs. As one person said to me, "I'll believe UFO's are real when one lands on my front door steps and knocks on my front door.

" I'm not a fruit cake, but a very well educated person with a open mind, not closed as of some people. Something is flying in our skies, and its not just a plane, balloons, kites, meteorites, birds, etc. And the government needs to get involved in explaining some of these flying object because I beginning to think they are UFOs.

Picture of what I have taken that night is being sent via email. Not great pictures, but it something. ((NUFORC Note: One of three reports from the same source.

PD)).

Bright and huge star-like object in the sky during mid-day hours. On May 23, 2005 beginning at 12:00 PM, 5 people including myself observed an unusual daytime object (almost star-like yet comparable in size to an enormous planet near earth at its closest point) emitting radiant light (correlative to reflection of sunlight shining off a mirror) in the daytime sky. Our location when we saw the light in the sky was at Orange Beach, Alabama on a condominium midway through construction.

The condominium is located nearly directly in front of the Alabama Point bridge which I estimated the distance between the bridge and the condo to be approximately a mile in distance. The whole observation began when three people and I took our lunch break at exactly 12:00 PM on the condominium's balcony that was facing southeast on the first floor. I tended to my lunch, devouring the tuna-fish sandwich that I had made in the early morning, while the other three people began consuming their meal just a few yards away from me.

While attending to my lunch, I was wearing my polarize sunglasses and glancing towards the Gulf admiring the scenery of the barrier island's surroundings. It was extremely hot and humid that day which also set a new temperature record for that day. I believe the actual temperature was 98 degree F, and with the humidity factored in, the temperature actually felt like 115 degree F.

Because it was so hot and humid that day, the surrounding area had a slight haze in the air which is typical for hot, humid climate. The sunlight seem to be especially intense that day for it was extremely bright and challenging when seeing without the aid of sunglasses. Thankfully, there was a slight and gentle breeze from the Gulf to briefly cool us off just a tad now and then.

While glancing around at the surrounding area, a brilliant light in the sky captivated my attention. I said nothing to the others just yet, but I just dwelled there in awe scrutinizing the light to see if it would change direction if it was traversing the sky. I didn't want the other people to think I was seeing a UFO until I rule out all possibilities of what the light may be.

There was some clouds in the sky, and few times, the clouds would pass in front of the light in the sky, yet the light still shined through the clouds seemly almost unhindered. The light was just barely off the left side of one of the three, huge condo that was on the barrier island. In the line of sight of the light is a small island that has some pine trees on it.

That was one of the reasons why I didn't spot the light in the sky at my first glance of the surroundings. The light seem to just suspend over the Gulf just between East and South East direction near the area where the torturous sun rise slowly each morning. If you were to draw a line between the light and the condo, it did not cross the Alabama-Florida boundary line, but it was just between the two, tall pine trees on the island.

Between the two pine tree was a stubby tree possibly an oak tree. I used those trees as a guide for any lateral movement in the light. The light elevation may had been between 30 to 45 degrees off the horizon, but almost level with the condo's roof on the barrier island which was also leveled with the pine trees.

Thinking it may be a jet heading directly towards my direction with its lights on, I waited five minutes for any changes in direction, elevation, or intensity of the light, and I also listen for any sounds of a jet flying. Since none of those factors changed and no jet sound could be heard, I disclosed to the other people of what I saw. I guided them in direction using the pine trees as landmarks for the viewing of the light.

At first, both witness had some trouble spotting the light until their eyes adjusted and was able to see clearly the light. I let one of the witness use my sunglasses, and he was able to see the light with no problems. I asked the two witness, "What is it?" Neither of them had any clear answers, but only possibilities of what the light may be.

There was another person on the balcony, but that person refused to glance in the direction that the light was being observed. Both witness and I watched for another 10 minutes when three more people showed up on the balcony. They were able to view the light and again I asked, "What is it?" No one had any definite answers.

One person said, "It could be a balloon." Another person said, "It could be a parachute ride." Another person said, "It could be a plane.

" Another person said, "It could be a planet or star." Another person said, "It could be kite." "It could be an UFO!" I said because nobody could identify it.

All the witness watch the light and discussing what it could be until our lunch break was over. Occasionally, I would glance towards the light while we were working until around 1:00 PM, I could no longer see the light where it once was positioned exactly each time in the same area in the sky motionlessly shining like a bright, huge star. My final thoughts, "What was it I saw that day?".

Observed light at high altitude change directions in an impossible way. Providing security on the beach after Hurricane Ivan, I was on the beach when it was becoming dark. I do not remember the exact time, but there was only one star in the sky, no lights from the beach due to lack of electricity and curfew.

I was lying on my back on a ATV talking to a family member when I observed a light, or what looked more like an reflection of something large moving in an north western direction. I thought to myself, thats fast, and when the object immideatley moved in an more than 90 degree direction at the same speed, I hung up the phone. For the next 10 minuites I observed the object stop, move quickly to another location and stop.

It appeared that the object was positioning itself. About this time the stars were very visible and it aligned itself with small adjustments to two other stars and seemd not to move again.

Orange Lights over Gulf of Mexico (Orange Beach, Ala.) While sitting on the beach at approximately 10:15 p.m.

CST in Orange Beach, Ala., many people on the beach and I oberserved orange lights to the southwest over the Gulf Of Mexico. They were too high in altitude to be a boat or oil rig.

They did not flicker or move, so they could not be a flare. There were four or so orange dots with the center two closer together. They appeared suddenly and disappeared instantly thirty seconds or so later.

They never appeared to move at all. They were just a solid orange color. I called the local news agencies the next day to report my sighting.

They said that The Blue Angels were based close by in Pensacola, Fla. and could have been practicing out over the Gulf Of Mexico. If this was the case, wouldn't the lights have changed position? Wouldn't the intensity of the light change? I'm really stumped by what I have witnessed.

((NUFORC Note: We suspect that no aerobatic team practices precision aerobatic flight at night. The lights may have been flares, but that is only a guess. PD)).

Full Report Text:

Object traveling back-and-fourth for unknown reason and unidentifible possibly because of the distant when the object was sighted. This may be nothing to really report because I have this scrutinizing suspicion of what I saw was just possibly one of those parachute rides being pulled by a boat. On April 16, 2004, I was working outdoors on the new condo construction which is located inside the bay area in Orange Beach, Alabama, and it is nearly in direction in front of the Alabama point bridge which is located near Orange Beach, Alabama.

At 12:00PM, I took a lunch break. While I was taking my lunch break under a shade, I was admiring the beach direction view of this condo location. I was wearing polarizing sunglasses at the time.

I noticed a helicopter flying around in the air. It was a small helicopter like those of a small Huey or traffic watcher type. It kept slowly flying around in the general area inside the bay/gulf channel near the bridge on the fishing side.

It would occasionally descend in each pass where people fished then ascend back to its slow, flight pattern of just wandering around near the bridge area. My first thoughts of this odd flying behavior was a news helicopter trying to make some news because of the recent bonanza of whitings congregating at the fishing site. To the left of the bridge are two condos located on the bay side which I think are still under construction, and the height of those buildings I think is twelve floors.

On the Gulf side of those condos is undeveloped land and the beach. From the bridge to my location, I think the distant is about one mile. From the bridge to the two condos, I think the distant is about one-eight of a mile.

From the condos to my location, I think the distant is about one mile. The sky was partly cloudy, and the temperature was about 80 degree F. While I was watching this helicopter flying around, I noticed what appeared at first to be a large balloon drifting in the wind.

The size of the balloon object is about the same size of the condo's window from my viewing location. Its path when first seen originated by the bridge and possibly out in the Gulf near the beach. The balloon object altitude was above the two condos, and the balloon object altitude was at least 1 and a half condo high from my perceptiveness.

The balloon object had no colors except for a minute grayish color that reflected no sunlight similar to the color of a water droplet. The balloon object was perfectly round. As this balloon object moving from west to east drifted pass the two condos starting from the bridge in an estimated time of about 30 seconds to a minute; the balloon object completely stopped drifting and almost seem to hover in the same position for about 15 seconds.

Then the shape of the balloon object changed to something not roundish. Its color also changed to something like a black dot but still not roundish in shape. Then this object travel back towards the bridge location at same speed of 30 seconds to a minute.

Then it stopped and reverse coarse towards the two condos. It appeared to get slightly smaller. Then about half way towards the condo, I saw for a brief moment a color of paper white appear for about 3 seconds, and it was definitely not a sunlight reflection.

I realized that this was no balloon, so I was trying to figure out what it could be. After the fourth back-and-fourth trip of this object, an advertising plane appeared trailing its advertisement. The object on its way back towards the two condos seem to disappear from view behind the two condos.

I was waiting for it to reappear on the left side of the two condos which it did not reappear. On the right side of the bridge are some condos. I notice a bright red/orange parachute probably being pulled by a boat.

The distant to those condos is about a mile. The size of that parachute ! from my location was about the size of a quarter if I was to held it up in front of me. When comparing the size of the object to the parachute, the object was like a pea to the parachute.

Then the object that disappeared behind the two condo reappeared from the right side of the two condos. I thought to myself, "I wonder if the helicopter pilot is seeing what I am seeing? Surely if there was something out of ordinary, he would investigate it." I was thinking, "Gee! If only I could talk to the helicopter pilot and ask him to investigate what I was seeing, then he can tell me what he saw.

" I took off my sunglass to see if I could still see the object without the aid of the sunglass, and I was still able to see the object, but not as good, so I put the sunglass back on me. I kept watching this object going back-and-fourth between the bridge and the two condos when I noticed a white dot way out near the horizon in the Gulf. It was probably about 5 to 10 degrees above the horizon, and intermittently it was hidden by the clouds.

It didn't look like it was shining a light, but it did appeared to be just a paper white dot. It is possible that it could be a jet coming towards my direction, but that object defiantly did not pass over my location to get to the spotted location unless it was flying way up high if it did pass location. All of this viewing took place during my 30 minutes lunch break.

When I went back to work, I was still able to see the object, and I explain to one of my co-workers what I saw during my lunch break. I pointed in the direction of the object and my co-worker was able to see it too. He seem like it was nothing since he just glanced at for a few seconds, but I find it strange that all this object did was go back-and-fourth during my lunch break.

If it was one of those parachute rides pulled by a boat, it would had to been at least 2- 4 miles out in the Gulf. Another possibility of what the object may had been was another helicopter, but when I first saw this object, it was perfectl! y round and drifting almost like a balloon. When I first seen the object, it may had been up closer, but possibly it may had zig-zag a coarse out into the Gulf becoming smaller as it went which may explain how the two condos were able to make it disappear for a brief moment.

It may be nothing, but I saw it, and I can't explain it, so I'm reporting it.
