Reflective Orb

I live on a small farm. We are always outside looking at the stars, as we are able to see constellations easily with it being so dark and far from city lights. On October 8, 2023, my family (husband, mother in law and son) and I were in the front yard just stargazing. What looked like a star was moving extremely fast while the others were still. I kept my eyes on it because I thought it was a shooting star. When it didn’t stop moving, I realized this was no shooting star. It wasn’t a plane, there were several of those out as well, all which had blinking lights. This had no blinking lights, and I watched it move SEVERAL miles in probably less than 10 seconds. Then it started moving in circles, very big circles, then it moved up, down did zigzags and this was all within just a few seconds. I sent my husband in the house to get a flashlight. As he was shining the flashlight toward the area we were seeing this at, the light reflected off a shiny “orb”. I had my phone out videoing the whole thing. We never could find it again.

Later that night, I spent HOURS watching this video. Slowing it down, changing the saturation. What I found was much more interesting than what I had originally seen. After further observation, I noticed SEVERAL (7-8?) differently shaped objects flying in the direction of the shiny thing we had originally seen. I took screenshots of the video and was amazed at what I was seeing. I also see on the video an “object” that is shaped like an old “spinning top” toy, and after zooming and changing the saturation, I could also see 4 red lights on this one.

The next night 10/9/23, I was curious to see if I could catch something 2 nights in a row. I saw 4 orb objects. One was moving in a straight line, it didn’t do anything interesting. My husband told me to look directly above us, where we saw 2 orb objects almost playing in the sky. They were headed right for each other. The last one I saw, I noticed a plane flying toward it but below it. When the plane was almost directly underneath it, it shot up hundreds of feet and then once the plane passed it moved back down. I also got this on video but it will only allow me to enter 4 photos/videos. I have many many more that I will gladly share if someone contacts me!

The video that is included in this post is slowed down. You will first see the shiny object in the upper left reflecting off the flashlight. The last 20ish seconds of the video you will see several objects moving from right to left from the upper right and middle of video

NUFORC UFO Sighting 177695
Occurred: 2023-08-17 20:17 Local - Approximate
Reported: 2023-08-17 19:25 Pacific
Duration: 15 seconds
No of observers: 0 - Pilot

Location: Guntersiville, AL, USA
Location details: Object appeared to be flying above the Tennessee River from west to east

Shape: Other


Object was bright white, flying horizontally moving faster than any aircraft I seen, (I was a Navy pilot)

Object was bright white, shaped like a stubby football, flying horizontally moving faster than any prop aircraft I've seen, (I was a Navy pilot) I would estimate the size of it to be a slight bit larger than a private aircraft. There were no contrails or other exhaust indications. I was indoor and heard no sound. Never saw anything like it before except on TV. Most aircraft I've seen seem to be flying "slowly" in nearby skies; not this object. It seem to be moving at least twice the speed of prop aircraft in this area. I would estimate it's altitude to be between 1 -2 thousand feet. There is a small private airport about 5 miles to my north.

P.S. It follows the Good Year blimp that flew a similar path a few days before. I have a video of that.

Occurred: 2022-06-14 20:35 Local
Reported: 2022-06-15 16:31 Pacific
Duration: About 70 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Guntersville, AL, USA
Location details: On Guntersville Lake just above the TVA dam.

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

A sphere/ball of light hovering above the water.

We were on the lake in our kayaks waiting for the full moon to rise. It was about 8:35, the moon was supposed to rise at 8:45. The sun set was at 7:58 pm. My friend noticed a bright yellowish/white light on the water up the river from us. I responded that it’s probably a boat. The foothills surrounding the lake were blocking the moonrise so we had to keep waiting. We were slowly drifting towards the dam and there was a nice breeze. You can see the lights on the dam very well from that position, but the ball of light was coming from the other direction. My friend mentioned it again so I stared and thought it was odd, that a boat should have red/green bow lights on it and this didn’t. This thing was just a ball of light and it was silent, no boat motors. The moon finally peaked over the foothill and we were distracted taking pictures of the moon. We have pictures of the moon with the light on the water in it, I will include. Around 9:20 we started paddling back to the kayak launch at the dam and the ball of light was then moving slowly in our direction. We pulled our kayaks out at the launch and loaded them onto our vehicles. Then we took a couple more pictures of the moon. The light was there in one picture, then my friend suddenly said where did the light go? It had disappeared within seconds. We were once again distracted with the moon and not sure how the light disappeared. It wasn’t a boat, waverunner, or hovercraft because it was silent. It’s hard to judge the size because it was light. It moved VERY slow but steady. As soon as we noticed it disappeared, we jumped in our vehicles and left. It was about 9:45. I’m including three photos. One when it was up river and we first noticed it. One when it was nearing us at the dam and the shot right when it disappeared.

UFO'S In my woods!!!

ON May 29th of 2008 me and my family witnessed a very strange thing.We live on top of a mountain that Is covered with miles of wooded areas all around.Sitting out on my deck we noticed lights out in the woods down into the valley behind my home.The lights than began to rise with no sounds,It was very dark and we couldnt make out any shape only orange and red like lights.They was only maybe 300 ft from us and coming up out of the woods,The most Interesting thing was they had no sound at all.At this time my 6 year old began to cry and It was at this moment they took off within the blink of an eye.Me and my wife and my sister plus my little one all witnessed this and to this day do not know what these objects was.About 10 mins after the objects left we heard planes over the house,that sounded like jet fighters.

Occurred: 2002-09-07 23:15 Local
Reported: 2002-09-09 10:19 Pacific
Duration: Less than 5 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Guntersville, AL, USA

Shape: Other
Characteristics: Left a trail

Two comet-like objects passed in front of us, but each in two different directions (horizontally & ascending) within seconds apart.

My husband and I are avid campers and we camp quite a bit in a nearby town called Guntersville at a campground called Honeycomb Campground. We were situated in our boat just above the Guntersville Dam on the Tennessee River. My husband and I have both witnessed some unidentified objects in the sky and on the ground before, but we never really talk about them much until this weekend when something strange happened to us. We were out at about 23:00 pm doing some catfishing. We witnessed an object that appeared to be round fly across the sky just about 200 yards above some treetops. It appeared to be comet-like in appearance but the trail it left behind did not fan out like most comets do. By no means am I an expert, but I am quite sure this was not a comet. It went horizontally straight across the sky above the treetops. It appeared out of nowhere and continued for a long distance across the sky to only disappear in thin air. It has an orange "trail-like" glow behind it, but the circular part up front did not appear to have any glow around it, it was just in front of this trail. It was faster than any jet that we know of. My hubby is an Army brat so he has seen a few up close up and personal. There was NO sound whatsoever. Okay, we were trying to convince ourselves that it must be a comet...however, it never descended toward Earth. Then about 15 seconds later, ANOTHER one, but only this one came from below at the edge of the treetops and ascended into the sky. It had a blue flame and it was almost on top of our heads when it appeared. It had a shorter trip than the first one, but it was just as spectacular. I have never seen a shooting star ascended from that far down into the sky and that quickly to boot. I didn't think a comet could do that either. Had we only seen the first one, we would have wrote the event off as being maybe a meteroid but the mystery was it remained completely horizontal across the sky to disappear as quickly as it appeared. I would have thought had it been a co! met, we would have seen it coming from the distance and approach and then pass by. The altitude at which this occurred seemed to be odd for a jet, but a jet cannot fly this fast.

I saw a large bright white light toward the ENE from my front yard. It was across the river and above the mountains.

I called my mother, who lives nearby, and told her to come outside to see it. I was on the phone talking with her as she was coming outside to see it. Before she got outside, however, the large bright light shot straight up into the sky and disappeared quickly.

As I was telling her what I had seen, military aircraft began flying overhead. We counted eight airplanes in a row, flying low in a straight line, directly toward (ENE) where I had seen the bright light in the sky.

new glass like craft seen
I was working as an assistant manager of a dollar store in guntersville alabama as I was coming home from work one afternoon about 6pm I was gazing across a cow pasture to my left as I was stopped in traffic just outside of town when I noticed a distortion of the surrounding trees and such! a craft about the size of a small house was hovering about 25ft above the ground it looked a lot like the thing in the trees on the movie preditor as it was projecting what was behind the craft which made it look as though nothing was there there was no sound, and no thrusters or anything of that naturewas noted. I also saw no doors or openings and no beings. just the craft. it started moving slowly across the field slightly left and away from me the cows continued grazing as nothing was there then it swiftly moved out and streight up at a tremendious amount of speed and was out of sight in a couple seconds it was a clear day and no buildings or anything could have generated the thing I saw I had been at work and had not taken any medicines of anykind and had not drink amy alcohol as far as I knew I was the only person who saw it I wrote it down when I got home and tried to report this to the army airforce and many others with out any one writing me back.these new craft are glass like and if you didn’t see the distortions you would not be able to see them ifter a lot of thought its my conclusion that this is more than likely why reports have been so low they have gotten smart and have new tecnology I later went to school and became an L.P.N. and now I am disabled due to a bad back but this was a real craft and if you will look at the alien in the movie preditor you can get an idea about how the craft was doing i also saw no lights or landing gearthe craft was like a mirror

NUFORC UFO Sighting 71822
Occurred: 1980-10-15 03:00 Local - Approximate
Reported: 2009-08-23 06:13 Pacific
Duration: 10 seconds
No of observers: 3

Location: Guntersville, AL, USA

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Aircraft nearby

The date and time is not exact.

I was the shift supervisor at a chemical plant located on the banks of the Tennessee River. Mountains surrounded the horizon. There was a barge facility approximately a mile from the main plant that was unmanned. Every two hours some one from the maintenance department had to go to the barge area for a fire watch and sign a log.

On this particular night, I decided to ride in the van with the two maintenance men to the barge dock. The road was straight as an arrow and not paved. When we were about halfway back to the main complex, the maintenance man driving stopped the van. I got out of the van from the passenger side and the other maintenance man sat in the van listening to the radio.

As we talked, the other person suddenly said "what in the hell is that"? As I turned to see what he was talking about I saw nothing but stars and the outline of a mountain across the river. It was a clear night but the moon was not visible.

Initially I saw some flashing stars on the horizon changing colors as they do when they are first visible. I said "What"? "All I see are stars". He said "no"! "To the right" and pointed. As I looked further to my right, I saw the large shadow coming straight toward us. It was so large I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It had no lights and was shaped like a perfect triangle.

It passed directly over our heads and disapeared over the horizon of a different mountain. It had a flourescent appearance and shown a greyish black surface. It made no nise except for a gliding sound coasting it seemed through the air.

The other maintenace man in the van jumped out at hearing our talking about the object and saw it briefly b! efore it disappeared over the horizon. I felt weird and had chills over my entire body. We were freaked out and decided we would tell no one because it would make us seem crazy.

As we started to get back into the van, we heard a noise and it was two military jets following the same path as the triangle. As they passed over head they broke the sound barrier and the "boom" echoed across the valley. It then dawned on both of us that the triangle and the jets had come from the direction of the Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Al, about 30 miles away.

I had read about flying saucers and UFO's but at the time of my sighting, I had never heard of a flying triange. This thing had to have been over a mile wide. Who would believe that?

Now that others are beginning to report the same, I decided to report what I saw that early morning.
