Location details: Next to neighbors shed

Shape: Other
Characteristics: Missing Time

Tall being disappeared and at night I woke from sleep in pain.

I was closing the curtains to my bedroom window and had my flashlight on so I wouldn't wake my wife. When I approached the window I noticed a *estimated 7 to 8 foot tall being. It quickly turned toward me and took two steps back. As it stepped back it seemed to disappear from a gray hue and I could only see the neighbors shed which was behind it from my perspective. I stood there with my light reflecting off the wall and illuminating my body which in hindsight was a mistake. After a few more seconds I turned off my light and watched for anything else. I didn't see anything else so I went to bed. I fell asleep and eventually awoke from pain in my head. It was a unique sensation that felt like some form of electricity through my brain. I was immobilized during the event and it caused pain in my teeth. It took I would estimate less than 1 minute but it felt much longer likely due to adrenaline. When it was done I could move again and could speak. My teeth remained odd feeling for the next day approximately. I can't be certain but I think there were long term effects on my memory and understanding/comprehension.
A couple weeks later it was raining outside and the rain stopped over my house but was raining across the street. Then in about 2 seconds it was raining on my house again. I did not feel or see anything during that event.

March 5 2021,aprox 11pm I was driving on hwy 269 from BIRMINGHAM AL when I saw what I thought was an electrical fire at a power sub station.It was a white/blue color that lite up the sky,I stopped and went to look.It was not a fire but a craft hovering about 50 feet above the sub station,I took out my phone to video the craft, triangular in shape as it sat there above the sub station, less than 500 yards away CLEARLY IN MY VIEW, and on my screen I watched as it turned and moved away the lights were cut off as it lifted farther up and was gone.The sound was like a strong wind & the size of it had to be a football field or better.The next morning I looked at my video & my screen is black nothing is there but the audio that I can clearly hear..IT WAS ON SCREEN LAST NIGHT...What happend to my video???? This is not the only time I have seen things BUT it is the only time I`ve seen something this close.

We were outside in our hot tub, and the tub became illuminated. We look up and saw a rectangle object traveling to fast to be a typical aircraft. The whole episode probably lasted 4 seconds

Shape: Circle


Bright orange circles

I was standing outside at my car. I saw a row of bright fire like circles just slowly moving through the sky. They were in groups of 3, 4, and 6.

They slowly went across the sky and went up in the air and disappeared.

I called my aunt to verify, she saw them as well.

For the next 5 minutes after the bright balls you can see a stray 1 or 2 flicker across the sky.

Shape: Teardrop
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object, Left a trail, Emitted other objects, Aircraft nearby

Four guys see five teardrop/candle light objects spreading a mist, turn into cones, becomes long slivers, and split in the sky.

I first saw a shiny teardrop-like object around 5:30 PM while working Friday night. My co-workers also saw it. One guy said, "It's just a hot air balloon." I was a bit more suspicious. We parked the truck and all got out, soon to be astonished. The object in the distance sat suspended almost completely still aside from its candle light sort of bob (I can best describe it as a shiny, glowing, white candle light...maybe not so much a teardrop). It begins to appear to fly up and left in a curve. I tell myself that most planes fly straight. It moves very slowly. I begin to notice a small tail behind it. Then, we notice two more. We did not see where they came from. One begins making a slow descent toward the ground or maybe into the horizon. Very slow. It begins to stretch vertically across the sky into a long, thin sliver. It takes about five minutes for the object to completely stretch out and eventually split apart. At this point, it looks lik! e it has made a slice into the clouds. By now, the second object began doing the same thing but much less dramatic (possibly further away). The first object moves ever closer. The tail is very apparent now. It is very much shaped like a cone moving across the sky. We start to make out a body. When it comes in really close range, I notice another candle light-like object off in the horizon. The one nearest to us now appears to be splitting between the "body" and the "cone." It also appears to be dropping some sort of mist out of the back - very similar to a crop duster releasing pesticides. I see no propellors. I can vaguely make out what appears to be wing(s). There is no sound coming from the object. It gets near enough to where it flies almost directly over us. There is still no sound. At this point, I believe I am seeing an airplane of some sort. It looks like an airplane, but it is odd. I want to say it is an airplane, but I have an odd feeling that it i! s not. It has a strange, round shape in some places. And I c! an only make out one wing. I see that it is silver, and the round part may be red. No lights. Not that I can tell. Also, the speed and altitude at which the object is traveling not to mention the misty trail it leaves behind are perplexing to say the least. We snap a few photos and later find the object in the photo to look quite different from what we believed to have seen. After flying behind the trees for only a few seconds it seemed to disappear. The other object off in the horizon is still there. My co-workers go inside, and I stay outside still in awe. The one begins to stretch just like the object before. Again, this object stretches out vertically and splits making a cut / slice in the clouds off in the horizon. I go inside, do my work for a few minutes, and come back outside. I see one more that never gets past the shiny, teardrop, candle light stage. It bobs like a candle light in the distance and moves a little to the left. It instantly disappears after abou! t 30 seconds. I have never seen anything like this in my life, but I have found other pictures on the internet of EXACTLY what we saw. The stories entail very similar descriptions as well. The photos taken of other accounts I have discovered to be of higher quality than the photos we have.

If this was man made, we have some great technology that is incredible.

I am 55 years old and I don't make up stories. I was in the back yard on a clear dark night. With my love of astronomy, I always watch the the heavens. I saw what I thought was a US space probe with reflected sunlight. They are easily seen as I used to see many in the late 50's and early 60's during the early space race. This "light" was moving on a straight projectory from due east to west at an extremely high altitude. Then it turned north and made a complete 360 degree turn and did this two times. Then a second one appeared on the same projectory and it did the same 360 degree turn once that I could see. These were very tight 360 degree turns. During the second sighting, I called my brother that lives about 6 miles from me and told him that I just saw a UFO. He went out on his back porch as I explained what I was seeing with directions, etc. By the time he got outside, he was not able to see what I had seen. However, a third one appeared on the same projectory which he did see as we remained in contact via cell phone. This one did not make a 360 degree turn as we could see. They had no blinking lights. As far as a sound or noise, I cannot say as the pool pump was running at the time.

Encounter of the first kind with video and photographs to back up account.

I was traveling back home from dinner at some friend's house when I notice what I thought at first to be part of the moon obscured by clouds in the western sky. Then I started looking around and noticed that it was a starlit cloudless night. Well then I surmised that may be because it was low in the sky that it was the moon partially hidden by a hill in the distance. That was when I begin looking around to make sure it was even the moon. I glanced over my left shoulder and saw the moon. So then I got excited and went home (approx. a mile away) and got my video camera. I went to the parking lot of this church I attend because it was on a hill with a much better view, in my rush however, I did not get my tripod, but I did manage to get the object on video and took still pictures from the video. The sighting lasted about a minute or two before the object disappeared like someone turning off the light. I have never seen anything like it and would like some rational input on the subject. I have read books on UFO's and seen more than my share of documentaries but I have never seen one let alone videotape it.

((FOLLOW-UP COMMUNICATION FROM WITNESS))

unfortunatly Mr. Davenport, it turned out to be nothing more than an advertising blimp for a local car dealership. It would make for a very humourous story though.

To whom it may concern:

On or about Feb. 20th 1987 at about 1:30 am I had something happen I do not understand completely. I was babysitting for a lady I babysat for regularly. She lived just out of town off at that time very rural road called Old Tuscaloosa Hyw.near Bessemer Alabama. She returned from a date around 1 am and I left her house soon after that for the aprox 45 min drive home.

As was our usual arrangement I promised to call her when I got home to let her know I had made it safely and she could go to bed. There were very few houses on that stretch of road until it reached the Bessemer city limits and few streetlights. I can only guess the time as my car had no clock and I did not wear a watch, but I would guess it was between 1:15 and 1:30 am considering the time I had been gone from her house.

I had my window down so I could smoke a cigarette without stinking up my car. I heard nothing but the sound of my own engine, and soft music from the radio. I saw a light, like a single headlight coming up behind me in my rearview. It looked like it was about a mile or more behind me. I glanced down for just a second, looked back in my mirror and was surprised to see the light was almost caught up to me and was coming fast.

I heard nothing but the sound of my own engine and was startled because I assumed it was a car or motorbike and I heard no noise. As it rapidly came up on me I thought I was going to be rear ended, so I turned on to the shoulder of the road and braked hard.

The next thing I know, I seemed to awake, though I do not remember passing out. My car was switched off with the keys in the ignition. It seemed like only minutes since I stopped. There were no lights around and it was still dark.

After a few moments I pulled back on the road and continued home. As I got into the city of Bessemer, I was surprised to see more cars out and about than there usually were at 1:30 in the morning. I arrived home and went in. I picked up the phone and called the lady as I had promised. She answered on the first ring and when I said I was home she scolded me for not calling sooner. She said she had been calling me for more than an hour and was just fixing to come looking for me. At that moment for the first time I looked at the clock. It said 4:20 am.

A drive that should have taken less than an hour took me almost 3. I still don’t know what happened that night. But for a long time after that I had trouble sleeping and panic attacks. I heard you on Coast to Coast saying how important it was to document strange things, so I decided to write you.

Thank you,
