Characteristics: Lights on object

Non-moving rectangular row of lights

I was outside with my dog at 5:13 a.m., and when I looked up at the sky to see the stars I saw a zipper shape of lights to the east. I was looking towards the golf course, east of Foley, Alabama. I took a photo because of how peculiar it looked. It was not moving at all. After a few minutes it simply faded away. I thought perhaps a cloud moved over it, only the sky was black with many stars, so don’t believe a cloud covered it. The photo I’m attaching was zoomed in and the flash came on.

Unknown craft aerobatic and very fast.

While walking my dog, I always watch the sky when I hear a jet as we live so close to Pensacola NAS to see if the Blue Angels are around. I did not see any in the area, but an extremely high object caught my eye. I can't be positive of the shape due to the height it was flying but it traveled approximately 1 foot in sight then slowed to almost a stop, did a 360 degree turn (in a space about the size of my fingernail) and took off at approximately 3x the speed it was traveling and disappeared into the clouds. The object was heading West to East and finally headed Southwest. I have never seen any jet perform a 360 degree turn in this small of space and at that height.

Object was white in color and the weather was sunny with feathery clouds.

If I had to guess at the height, I would say it was 40,000 to 50,000 feet.

Two different craft seen moments apart.

A large, crescent-shaped object moved through the sky at a constant speed and altitude. The object had no lights and appeared to take on the color of its environment- the night sky. Its outline was visible, and it made no noise. It made me and my friend very uneasy.

Moments after, a smaller, sphere-shaped craft moved erratically through the sky at a lower altitude with a greater speed. It appeared to be brown in color with no lights. It quickly vanished into thin air.

UFO hovering over Sherburne- more than 3 hours

Woke up to go to bathroom in middle of night- approximately 5:30 am as I layed back down I was looking out the window and saw a bright light appear quickly over the neighboring tree line. It was in a distance but I sat and watched it for 10 minutes - at first it was stationary but as I lined it up with the grid in the window I could measure its slight change of movement.

I asked my husband to look at it and he said at first glance that it was a star. Then as he watched longer he saw it move. He got the binoculars and said Wow- you got to see this! It has five lights on it and it is hovering. It had five lights in a row with the middle light being the largest the lights changed colors from yellow green to red blue. It looked really large way larger than a small airplane.

It hovered at a lower altitude until daybreak then it ascended higher into the sky. It clearly looked like a star with the naked eye as it got higher in the sky. It appeared that the daybreak was what drove it higher in the sky. We saw it make movements directly up - then quickly shifting side to side them down - it was really high in the sky still at 9:00 am but then cloud cover came and could not view it under the clouds anymore. Really strange - it truly looked like in the alien movies - just like those spaceships with the lights. We have never seen anything like this before!! We will be watching the sky from now on. So wierd to see something like this!!

3 Bright orange orbs in Foley, AL

3 Bright orange circular objects in sky.

My mom and little sister were out on the balcony, my mother was smoking. My little sister came inside and told me to come look at the orange light in the sky so I went and looked.

At first there was just one orange orb in the sky. it was too bright to be a star. and it didn't leave a smoke trail like a flare. it was bright for about 15 seconds then faded. Then the orange orb appeared again, but in a different location, close to where the first light was seen.

It was bright then faded also.

My mom and little sister went in but i stayed out on the balcony for a few minutes and a 3rd light appeared but further away than the other two. it wasn't as bright neither. It faded away also.

I continued to wait and see if anything else was going to happen.

A plane flew by in the area where the lights were seen. It got about (from my perspective) 200 ft away and all 3 lit up brightly at the same time. Stayed that way for probably 20 seconds then faded.

They didn't light back up.

No noise. No smoke trail. Just bright orange orbs.

Characteristics: Animals reacted

10:43 p.m. est. 3 people witnessed an intense cold blue/bright white light flash inside & outside house. No sound assoc.

Roughly 10:43 p.m. est. 3 people inside of house near open window witnessed a cold blue/bright white light flash which lit up the entire inside of house as well as the outside. This was observed as all 3 were facing different directions, for the most part. The flash last less than an approximated 1/8 second.

There was no audible "boom" or any other sound associated with the flash that was observed. Although there was a silence defined by lack of the usual animal nighttime sounds.

It was also observed by a friend in Gautier, Mississippi.

The sky was very clear early in the night with numerous stars visible & a bright moon to the south. But it had gotten only slightly less clear with light haze in the upper atmosphere indicated also by the ice crystal formed halo ring around the moon around the time of the flash.

Location history: House is situated in a rural location 360ft.south of HWY98. 200ft. from the end of Barin Naval Airfield which is a very lightly used strip used for training pilots. It is mostly a wooded area with less than 2 small homes between the strip & above stated house.

All 3 people have a history of law enforcement. One is an army veteran of 11 years. One is an artist and the other is now an activist/humanitarian.

Two sets of orange lights seen over Foley, Alabama

Four adults returning from dinner observe two sets of orange lights low in the sky from their car. The lights were three blocks from their homes. One set was a semi circle. The second set was in a triangle shape. They turned onto a side street to observe. The lights began to blink out one at a time till they were all gone. No sound come from the lights. Being a UFO investigator for many years I conclude these lights may have been attached to objects but it was too dark to see the objects. I come to this conclusion because the lights were evenly space on both the triangle and semi circle and blinked out one at a time in succession.

UFO spotted in Foley

My wife and I were on our way to Gulf Shores, AL, for a vacation. Sometime in June or July 2012. It was a Sunday night. Around 10:30p.m. Travelling south on hwy 59.

We had stopped to do some shopping in the town of Foley. About ten miles from the ocean. Very near the intersection of hwy.59 and the Foley Beach Expressway.

I was done shopping so I walked out to the car and was waiting for my wife to finish up inside.

Just as I sit down in the car, I notice a large glowing redish orange diamond shape ufo descending quickly into a patch of woods sse across from hwy. 59 about 350 yards away. (It had to of been at least 50' across and maybe 15' high at the center.) I could no longer see the diamond shape, but I could see the orange glow through the trees and brush.

Just then my wife opened the car door. Startling me. I pointed across the hwy. She immediately said "what is that? A fire?" I had rolled down my window and could not hear anything. Two northbound vehicles went by at about this same time. I never saw brake lights on them. We watched the glow for a minute before my wife started recording on her cell phone.

About a minute into recording the glow, the craft slowly rose up into view. As it began moving east over the tree tops it accelerated quickly and was gone.

We were both astonished at what we had just witnessed. There was a service road leading along hwy.59 that we took out of the parking lot. We were creeping along on it, looking in the direction of where we had seen the craft land.

There was no traffic on the highway, so we were just kind of sitting there on the service street. We were starting to continue on our way since nothing was happening.

Then I heard the distinct sound of a rifle from the wooded lot. (Now directly across from the hwy from our position.) Then another shot.

A few seconds, later my wife gasped and I looked at her. She was staring (mouth open) about 50 yards down and across the highway. When I looked I saw two, very large men dressed in all black, sprinting across hwy. 59 to the south and west. We were both now almost in shock when all of a sudden another man came running out of the wooded lot, right in front of our headlights. Directly across the hwy. from is. Again from the east side of hwy.59. carrying a rifle. He took one look at me sitting there, looking at him and yelled "get the hell out of here!" before proceeding at a dead run west across 59.

My wife started yelling, telling me to go! The last man was across the hwy. and running down it to the south. We had pulled out onto the highway (we were both very scared at this time) and was maybe a hundred feet away from the last man. My wife gasped again as she said she saw ( I was driving) a large limb strike the man with the rifle, running south beside hwy. 59, knocking him into the highway and literally knocking the rifle out of his hands. We were luckily in the other lane of hwy. 59 My wife said stop and rolled down her window as we cautiously approached the man trying to get up. The road was still empty. There was another large wooded area here on the west side of the hwy. just south of the business we had just left. She asked him if he was alright. He was breathing hard and still trying to recover from the ground. He said yeah. Then he asked us if we saw it? (We don't know if the man was referring to the other two men or the ufo.) My wife said yes, and asked if he was sure he was ok. He said yea. I asked him if he wanted us to call 911 for him? He laughed and said "if you want to go ahead" grabbed up his rifle, removed the limb from the road, turned around and noticeably limped off going back east across the highway from where he had come.

It was so surrealistic. Lasting maybe 4 or 5min. One other thing. To this day my wife swears the first two men we saw running out of the wooded lot crossing hwy.59 were "at least ten feet tall." She saw them first and got a better look than me. She said the man with the rifle was a big man. Six foot or so. She said the two, it appeared he was chasing were at least three or four feet taller than him.

The video we shot was Very poor due to very bad timming (she had just turned the video off when the first two men came running out of the woods) and a well lit business next to the lot. As well as billboard lighting close by. And just the excitment catching us up.

We both agree on everything except the size of the first two men. They were big guys. I just don't think they were as big as my wife thinks they were.

We both agreed to never talk about this again after sharing the story with two other friends of ours from church. I am curious though if the two other cars that went by that night going north may have saw the ufo.

Triangular/Cyinder object with 2 headlights like a car in the sky sitting completely still and had no sound

I was driving down CO. Rd. 65 heading North. Was creeping up to the intersection of 65 and Highway 98. Saw what appeared to be a "car" in the sky. Had two bright, white headlights. As I got closer, I saw it had a cylinder/triangular shape to it. It hovered... It wasn't moving at all! No Sound..

My redlight was green and there were 4 cars in front of me, all stopped. Also at the 4-way, there were a total of about 15-20 cars all stopped from different directions looking, too. I snapped a picture on my cell phone, blurry of course, before I stopped.

I don't understand! It didn't move- it completely sat still! It didn't make a sound. No motor sound or anything...I was looking at the picture I took to see if it was blurry or not and I realized I should take more pictures anyways. So I leaned out my window to take another photo and it was gone.. No sound, no lights, nothing. Gone.

I would not like to be contacted by number. Please if any information is needed or known, please email me.

My children were swimming in our pool at 11 PM. They came in because they saw 3 different flashes of light & it scared them. I (the Mother) thought it might be lightning so I went out to the pool to extinquish the tiki torches surrounding the pool when I looked up & noticed 4 very bright "stars" in the distance. Because I swim at night alot, I know that I've never seen these stars before. They were in a straight line & were changing colors. (red, blue or green & white)I went inside & brought out my binoculars for a better look. They were stationary for about 10 minutes & then I watched one of them move (very quickly) higher that the other three & stop again. Then I noticed 2 more to the West of the other 4. I observed them for several minutes. Occasionally one of them would rapidly change positions so that the line was no longer straight. After about 30 minutes of watching this I went back inside the house because the fire ants were biting my feet & ankles & my kids were very frightned. The objects were quite a distance from my home so I couldn't make out a shape. I live approximately 10 miles from the gulf coast in the country away from any bright lights & the objects were to the South appearing to me to be over the gulf. I wish I could have gotten a closer look but my binoculars are not very good & my children were upset. I did not see the flashes of light that the kids had seen before I went outside. I separetly asked both of them to describe the flashes to me & they both described the same thing. They said it was just a bluish white flash of light like a camera's flash bulb going off only much, much bigger. If someone wishes to contact me, I don't have any objections to that.

Sphere flying in formation with 4 jet aircrafts

My friends and I were eating crawfish outside in the backyard during a cloudless afternoon. The wind was out of the NW at about 10 MPH. I noticed 4 jets flying in formation what looked to me in the northern sky over Interstate 10, from the west to the east. Three were in line with each other but the lead was clearly ahead of the others. My guess is that they were 30,000 feet or more in altitude, all 4 leaving contrails, and were spaced about 3000 feet apart. Everything was normal and I signaled to my friend, "Hey, look at those planes" He said, "Yeh, gotta be the military flying in that kind of formation." They were absolutely identifiable as jets. Then he noticed the lead aircraft had a shiney sphere under it and said "can you see that under the lead plane?" I said "Wow! That's amazing. I never could say I saw one until today!" It was about half the size of the lead jet aircraft. He ended by saying they are probably heading to Eglin AFB, FL. What really proved it to me is that the sphere was definately shiney, made no contrail (like the jets did) and was separate and aside the lead plane.



NUFORC Note:

We do not know what the witnesses observed. However, we believe that the possibility of military aircraft would have to be ruled out, before we could conclude that the sighting may have been of a genuine UFO. PD

slow, star like image that slowly faded away

I'm not sure what I witnessed - don't want to say it was a UFO but it was strange. I set my alarm for 4:30 am to observe the meteor shower on 11/18/01. Went outside, sat down, and watched the sky for about 10 -15 minutes. I noticed a star-like object that appeared to be moving very slowly (like a slow airplane)to the south west of my home. At first, I thought it was an airplane but then realized that it was WAY too high to be an airplane so then I thought that it could maybe be a meteor but it was too slow for that - plus didn't have a tail. I watched the object move across the sky and curve back to the right and disappear (or fade out) beside a star. I thought that it was weird, as I have never seen anything like that before. I waited about 10 more minutes to see if I could see it again but it never came back. I got the creeps and went inside! I wouldn't mind being contacted regarding this sighting, but not sure if it's anything exciting enough to prompt investigation.

strange bright light fades away

it was night a number of years ago I was at a friend of my dad's farm helping my dad unload a trailor. I noticed a very bright light off in the distance that was moving very fast "moving in southernly direction"(no aircraft that fly that low can go that fast). I watched it move for a min or 2 then had to look away for a moment to help my dad with something (he was to busy with what he was doing to pay attention). when I looked back it had turned an exact 90 degrees and was heading west. I continued to watch it move for another min or so until it STOPPED moving (didn't slow down... just stopped). the bright light then bobbed a few times then faded out.

sorry I can't even remember the exact year because it has been too long... 96-98 probably
