Ball of pure white light came out of nowhere and dipped behind the trees when I noticed it. Then it followed me before disappearing

I was doing my rounds when something flew right over my head going like Mach 45. As soon as I noticed it it stopped dead in its tracks and dipped behind some trees. I could see it through the trees, but it wasn't emitting a glow even though it was lit up. It was just.. pure light? So I watched it go behind the trees and I can still see a little bit of it through the trees. It followed me as I walked. The thing is, I've been seeing these things for months, but never this close. This went right over my head.

Very slow fading orange circle that didn't appear to move.

While traveling South on the Foley Beach Express, we observed at first one orange circular light in the southern sky. This orange light would appear for about 10 seconds before slowly fading. A short time later we observed two orange lights in the same position. These lights appeared then faded in about 7 second intervals. After their third appearance, these lights faded and did not reappear. These lights did not seem to change position at any time. We estimate their location to be somewhere over the eastern side of Gulf Shores, Alabama.

Two separate nights, orange orbs blink on and stay static in the sky for seconds before blinking out

At Approximately 8:10 pm, September 12, 2023, my friend and I were on the deck of our vacation beach house in Gulf Shores, Alabama, gazing at the southwest sky over the Gulf of Mexico.

Suddenly an orange orb appeared in the sky about the size of a nickel held at arm’s length, so it seemed very close. The orb was very bright but not blinding with no aura or light beaming from it, much like a stoplight. It seemed to blink on like an eye opening. It did not move and was perfectly round. Almost immediately another identical orb blinked on to the left of the first, and then another to its right, all in a straight line and in perfect alignment with each other and none moving. There was no sound. Moments later they all blinked off.

Approximately five to 10 minutes after the three orbs disappeared, what looked like a string of lights appeared lower in the sky and to the right of where the first three orbs were. These orbs were much smaller than the first three, all in a line and static in the sky. Like the first three, these orbs did not twinkle, although it appeared that one would go out on one end of the string and another come on at the other end. Immediately after this appearance, another identical string of orbs appeared far to the left of the first string and a bit lower in the sky but approximately the same size. The orbs in these strings were identical in shape and color to the first sighting of three. They remained static in the sky until they disappeared a few seconds after they appeared. There was no sound.

The first photo is of the night sky on September 12 from my seated position on the deck. I’ve overlayed the graphic of orbs to provide an illustration of what we saw.

On September 14, 2023, my friend and I were once again sitting on the deck and watching the night sky. Due south and far out over the Gulf of Mexico, much farther out than the previous sighting, we saw two orange orbs in a line similar in color and shape to the previous sighting on September 12. One of the orbs blinked out within moments, but my friend got a photo of the second orb.

The second and third images are of this orb. The third photo is an enlargement of the second.

Location: Gulf Shores, AL, USA
Location details: Video captured from shore looking over the ocean from address 1993 West Beach Blvd.

Shape: Oval


Object spotted on slow motion video.

The object was captured on slow motion video while filming from the shore and facing out over the ocean. No one standing on the shore noticed the object in real time. It was not until later we were watching the video of my son fishing that we noticed the object. It takes up 5 seconds of the slow motion video, which would have been just a split second in real time, but it moves across the entire sky in that short time. There were no strange sounds noticed. The object appears at the 30second mark of the video and ends at the 35 second mark. Still frame pictures are added as well with the object circled in different places. The sighting took place from the address 1993 West Beach Blvd, Gulf Shores, Alabama, 36542. We were on vacation and renting this property for the week.

Red lights in the sky over the ocean off of gulf shores…lights were splitting into two lights which then split into 4 and then 5. One had what looked like 6 white lights off the sides. That sequentially turned off and then on again on the other side. We spotted them 3 nights in a row, all around 8pm.. lasting approximately 20 minutes with a couple second intervals of being able to see the lights before they would disappear as quickly as they appeared.

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

It seemed like a biggish drone except silent, faster than drones we know about, and the time in the air was way more than any drone.

A sort of large dronish thing flew over the coast. It moved parallel to the shore about 100’ up. It hesitated in a number of places. It went way high and dropped very suddenly. It went down the shore to the west until it was almost out of sight then came back. It did a little more of the moving in the same manner. It dropped behind a house and didn’t come back after that. It seems that it would have been a couple hundred yards out in the water where it came down. It was completely silent with no discernible mode of propulsion. Some one besides my brother and I must have seen it.

Recorded video in Gulf Shores AL of strange light that multiplied into 5 lights or orbs.

The first night of my vacation in Gulf Shores, AL, around 7 pm: After having dinner my fiancé and I returned to our condo. I was on the balcony watching the night sky and the lights of the boats on the horizon, when out of nowhere what I would describe as a cluster of lights appeared in the horizon that were very bright. There was what I would assume to be a fishing boat on the horizon as well, that had a lot of lights, but this group of lights were much brighter. The lights faded out, and reappeared in the horizon closer to my location. There was one light that then divided into 5 lights and then faded and came back again. I was able to only capture a small amount of video as my phone storage is low. However, I watched these lights for at least 10 minutes or longer. My fiancé was otherwise occupied in the restroom and missed the whole thing. The video is not the greatest quality, but you can definitely see the lights. I’ve never seen anything like this. Drones don’t multiply themselves do they? The video shows one light becom! e 2. At first I thought maybe a drone swarm, but this light, this thing, can’t explain what I saw, but I know its not normal to see something like this.

Flashing white light hovering near an airport before jetting away at well over 1000 miles an hour without sound.

While working to day I looked up in the sky at the clouds and saw a bright flashing white light. The thing hovered in place as the clouds blew right past it and the winds were high. The object then moved from west to east not very far and very slowly. Wasn’t a helicopter because it was way too high wasn’t a drone because drones don’t hold up in the wind like that and obviously wasn’t a plane. The object stayed still for another 5 minutes before turning 90 degrees north and slowly moving off before jetting off at what seemed like light speed and was gone. The object flashed lights on and off in the middle of the day so it couldn’t have been a reflection. I have a 30 second video of the object hovering in place and flashing lights. My co workers and I witnessed the object for 10 or more minutes. I have a great clear video of the object.

Light seen moving erratically above cloud layer through NVGs. Gulf Shores AL

While on the beach using a PVS-7 NVG, I was looking at the stars when I noticed what I thought was a satellite moving across the sky. It was going about as fast as a typical satellite and then stopped and loitered in one position for about 3 seconds and then redirected about 45 degrees and continued for a short distance then stopped again for about 3 seconds. It repeated this a few more times, each time moving straight a short distance in a random direction and then stopping completely. It was above cloud height at minimum as I saw it disappear behind some clouds. This all lasted about 15 seconds total before I lost it behind clouds that were moving in. It only looked like a dim light through my NVGs and I couldn’t discern any shape due to distance.

I was just outside smoking before bed and was admiring the moon when I noticed a very bright red light falling from the sky, since I live next to the airport I thought it was a plane on fire crashing, It fell below the tree line and about 30 sec. later a huge triangular object rose and blacked out the moon, it stayed there for another minute or so then a huge bright light like a headlight shone south and all of a sudden sparks emited from the sides and it took off south heading towards the Gulf. When it took off it turned into a large red ball and was gone in about 3 seconds. I couldn’t believe it, I kept looking at the sky and about 1 minus after the triangle took off, 3 more huge red balls shot from north to south and were visible about 3 seconds.

Now there are 2 jets that just came into the airport and 3 military choppers. I hear them as I’m writing this. One chopper went below the tree line where the 1st red ball fell. I came in to write this and I’m going back out to watch.

I just came back inside and the choppers are still flying around. It is now almost Midnight

A friend and myself were sitting on the deck of our rental house on the evening of March 30th, 2019. Skies were clear at time of incident. We were having conversation, when out of nowhere, right above the treeline, facing the back of house, a green sphere like object just appeared, and shot down below the tree line. There was no noise from craft. Distance is unknown, but appeared to have dove into the water.

We have thought about this all night, and day. Nothing makes sense. It wasnt a firework. It just appeared. Couldn't have been a boat, a plane, or balloon.

Dimmly Lit Black Saucer chased out of Gulf Shores, AL

While standing outside on a pier in Gulf Shores, AL, on Bon Secour Bay, looking Southbound, we heard what at first we thought was an 18 wheeler with a flat driving by on HWY 180. The sound continued and grew louder, when we decided it had to be a helicopter, because we could tell it was coming from overhead.

Right at that moment we saw what we THOUGHT was the helicopter come into view as it quickly continued NorthWest around the edge of the bay with an ACTUAL helicopter in close pursuit, as if it was trying to keep up or chase it away. The helicopter was also not the normal as it was not as bright as your average aircraft and had orange/red lights on it as opposed to a white light.

The craft was dimly lit, with several lights lining the length of it. It moved extremely fast in a swaying motion, while the helicopter chased it. It appeared to be very dark if not black in color and long/flat in shape.

At the same time, inside the house we were told by relatives that our dog was whimpering and very obviously showing concern for us being that we were outside.

Another relative who was also in the house showering was so frightened and caught off guard by the type of sound and loudness, and the amount of time that it took to get out of the area, that they had to turn off the water to listen.

As I went to grab my phone to see if I could get a picture, the lights just disappeared. There was no noise and no specific movement, however the appearance of the lights were bright, and coordinated.

A ball of white light moved at speeds and directions unlike familiar air crafts above the beach in Gulf Shores, Alabama.

(The diagrams and pictures provided are not from the actual event. Just images to help with explaining what I saw. The numbers in the pictures explain the path it took starting with 1.) I am a 30 year old male. I am in Alabama, vacationing at Gulf Shores.

I was playing volleyball on the beach with my family when I saw a ball of light move through the sky unlike any aircraft I've seen before. I was facing east around 8 p.m., and there was large storm clouds in that direction heading out to the gulf. Every five minutes or so there would be heat lightning or flashes of lighting that remained in the clouds. The lightning never made any sounds.

Just before a volley started in a game, my attention was drawn towards a ball of light that came out of the cloud. It did not make a sound. It was the size, brightness, and color of a planet being observed in the night sky. White in color and bright. The light emitted was consistent, unblinking.

The object started 200 yards away from me over the pink 7 or 8 story building, it was just below the clouds in height. It moved towards me to the west for about 100 yards, and was over the tan 7 to 8 story building. I pointed at it and told everyone to look. Everyone's attention was to the start of the game.

The object then changed direction back to west a 100 yards over the pink building, to the point I first saw it, and then dropped in elevation to what I'm guessing was about 100 feet. It immediately increased speed and elevation back into the clouds.

As it was in the clouds, the light it emitted was slightly blurred and then not visible. This all occurred in about five seconds. I saw it, paused, said "hey look at that", it manueverd away from our position, and was gone. I began to discuss what I saw with members of my family for about 10 minutes after the event.

At the end of that time, a military jet flew along the beach over our heads very loudly. This was the only time I heard a military jet during the six days I've been at the beach in Gulf Shores.

Stationary sphere with flashing lights hung for hours

Was on vacation in Gulf Shores AL, on the night of March 27 was sitting on a balcony looking out over the gulf and saw what I thought was a plane in a SSW direction. Left for about two hours and when we came back I noticed it was still there, my binoculars revealed a spherical shape with a very bright red flashing light on the bottom and green and yellow/white lights on top. It stayed there for several hours and we went to bed. The following night it was there again, it hung there for several hours and was gone. Couldn’t judge the distance it was out but best guess would be a few miles. Checked on the log here and was surprised to see no one else reported it.

I dont know what the object is besides the shape in the report. ((e-address deleted))

Dear who this may concern,

The triangular shaped object was seen by me around 11:45 and was witnessed by several other people who I personally do not know. The reason that I was outside because there where college students yelling and screaming outside so I assumed that they were intoxicated because of spring break. When I walked out on to the balcony I saw the young students pointing up in the sky and yelling. When I figured out what the people where pointing at as was terrified it was an object possibly about the size of a yacht or semi-truck in the shape of a triangle with red light on the side and a blue on the following side and at center point was green. Then the large white light at the center of the craft beamed at light of some kind of light at a nearby airplane. These events occurred in a two to five minute time span I don’t wish to leave my name but my email is ((deleted))

My friend and I were sitting on the beach enjoying the full moon and stars. All of sudden the clouds began clustering together and we could see light moving in our direction from behind the clouds.

When the clouds cleared there was a circular object hovering about 500 ft. out over the ocean. There was a bright yellow colored light beaming from the object. When we tried to take a picture of the UFO, our digital camera would produce a flash, but there would only be a blank black screen. In fact, we even tried to take pictures of eachother and the same result happened.

After about 20 minutes another craft came into view and the two crafts lights began blinking. We were paralyzed with fear and amazement. The crafts stayed there hovering for about 40 more minutes then, we heard a strange humming sound and a loud "boom" sound as the crafts took off into the sky faster than anything I've ever seen.

We went for a walk on the beach at sunrise since we couldn't sleep and found 22 dead sharks down at the water's edge , about 25 ft, from where we had been sitting.

6 of us were sitting on a balcony at a condo facing south at 8:30 p.m. and saw a bright lighted object appear in the sky. It would stay lit only a few seconds and go out. It reappeared in a different location and would only stay lit a few seconds and disappear. The last time I saw it it appeared to be saucer shaped and had a light at both ends - one of the others said they saw 3 lights that seemed to be moving around the center. Each time the object appeared it would disappear within a few seconds. I tried to take a picture but didn't get it.

At first we thought it was an airplane and when it disappeared we didn't know what to think. It reappeared again in a different location and went out and we all said it was really freaky. It appeared 6-8 times total.

Orange Glowing Unidentified objects over the Gulf seen by 4 different people at once.

My Husband first noticed a orange looking circular shape appear over the ocean. He pointed it out to the rest of us thinking at first that it could be some sort of spotlight from a helicopter or plane. Within a minute or two the light suddenly dissapeared and reappeared in seconds above the coast line to the right of it's original location. This flashing from left to right went on for approx. 5 or more minutes. There was no sound, no flashes, no type of trail as though from any form or flare or fired round. The lights stopped for a couple of minutes and then reappeared more extravagent. I personally witnessed the light appear over the ocean and then another orb seemed to stretch out of the original. The cloned orange orb moved faster than light to the far right and then in a quick spinning type motion the light stretched and lines appeared in it. Those went away and then suddenly 4 different ones appeared with the last one to remain being in the same spot as the one that had spun. That one two spun and they all vanished. This lasted from the time we noticed it for about 34 minutes central time. There were no planes, no helicopters, no jets, etc. and no sound at all. I never believed in anything and am still not sure of what it could have been except that of a UFO considering the fact that we can not identify it. The beach was full of crab hunters, so others who may not have been focused upon the beach could have witnessed this as well. We did observe these through bonoculars, however by the time we thought to grab a camera the lights stopped. I guess our word is all we have though the lights stayed long enough to get plenty of pictures, I think we were all more stunned than anything.




NUFORC Note:

We spoke with this witness, and she sounded to us to be quite sober-minded. We do not know what they saw. PD

These appeared in a triangled shape,possibly a mile up in the sky with one in front two more on the right side and one on the left side. we watched these two to three minutes,

I went inside and got my binoculars, started focusing in and they flashed off. Probably thirty seconds later they were back, but the left back light had moved up half way to the front.

We watched this arrangement probably three to four more minutes. They just sat in the sky without moving. I would estamite the distance between lights, two to three hundred feet

Occurred: 2005-06-20 21:50 Local

Duration: 30 MINUTES
No of observers: 3

Location: Gulf Shores, AL, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Aircraft nearby

Unexplained lights seen after aircraft passes over beach.

I was vacationing at Gulf Shores this past week June 20th. In the evening we were enjoying the beach around dark sitting and talking in the sand above the breaking waves. We were in the Little Lagoon area of Gulf Shores (address available upon request) I noticed a twin-engine aircraft approach parallel to the beach at about several thousand feet above the water and about the same distance from shore. Immediately after the plane flew past us, three white lights appeared in the sky above the horizon and below where we had seen the airplane. They were connected in a horizontal line and were very distinct. They seemed to be about the size of aircraft lights that would be from a distant aircraft, perhaps slightly larger. They were not moving at all and after about 10 seconds,immediately stopped shining. A few minutes later, they appeared again, and then again once more. There were no clouds in the sky except for some high, thin clouds. So it was not clouds which caused the lights to appear and reappear, etc. Later, a somewhat full moon rose on the horizon to the left of where we spotted these strange lights. There are also several oil rigs out in the Gulf of Mexico below where were saw these lights, however the lights were NOT at sea level. Three of my family members witnessed the lights. We heard no sounds either.

Triangular craft hovers over State Park pier

There was a triangular shaped craft hovering noiselessly over the State Park Pier. I and a friend were sitting in the sand about 50 yards away from the pier. The craft was about the size of a small building; it had red, green, and white lights on the bottom and sides of the craft. It hovered over the pier for about 15 seconds then suddenly it sped away to the West. The craft never made a noise, but it could move at very high speeds.
