Duration: 10 minutes

Location: Gaylesville, AL, USA

Shape: Unknown
Characteristics: Lights on object, Emitted beams

Three bright green lights pointing towards the sky near Bell's Crossroads in Gaylesville, Alabama.

I feel obligated to state that my two friends and I were under the influence of marijuana when the sighting occured. However, we were lucid enough that I would have felt comfortable going out into public without fear. We were teenagers at the time (ages 19-20), and I am now a responsible adult (an Air Force veteran and a college graduate).

With that being said, here's my account of what happened. The three of us (I am female, my two friends were male) were standing around in my friend's driveway talking while I was smoking a cigarette. The area we lived in was VERY rural. I will refer the friend who lived on this property as W2 from this point forward. W2's home was on a dirt road that ran for approximately ten miles. The road housed approximately twenty homes, most of the land was used for either corn farming or growing pine trees for a local paper mill. A river runs paralell to most of the road, the river lies approximately 1.5 miles north of W2's home which faced north.

While talking, I noticed three bright green beams of light that originated to the north, almost directly in front of us. I would estimate that their origin was somewhere between W2's house and the river that I discussed previously. If they were any further north, it couldn't have been by much. Also, the area past the river is more populated (relatively speaking), and there is a mountain there. If the lights had originated in this area, they would have appeared more elevated than they did.

I noticed the lights, and attempted to ignore them for fear that it was some sort of mild hallucination. However, a few minutes passed and our conversation fell dead silent. It was at this point that W2 stopped and asked, "Okay, what the hell is that? Do ya'll see it?" At this point, myself and W3 responded that we did.

Once we established that all three of us were seeing it, we discussed it for the rest of the duration we were outside (maybe three more minutes, we watched the lights for abotu ten minutes total). The lights looked like the spotlights that are used at business openings, except there were three of them and they were very bright green. The middle light was pointing straight up, and the other two lights flanked the middle light at perfectly matching approximate 30 degree angles. The lights never moved. We were spooked at this point, and went in the house.

These lights could have been the powerful lights used by hunters, except I can not imagine one of those lights being that bright from such a distance. Also, these lights were green and at perfect angles to each other. Using spotlights to hunt deer is illegal, and I can't imagine any hunter wanting to draw such attention to his illegal deer hunting.

Please note that the date and time given is approximate. I know that it was in the late summer of 1999, and I know that it was after dark but before midnight when it happened (we didn't stay over at my friend's house past midnight).
