High Altitude Craft, Fires object, Capable of stopping.

Me & my fiance were outside looking up at the sky for satellite flares or other events, and we thought we spotted a satellite flare, but when I shined my bright blue laser at it, it abruptly stopped, seeming to notice my laser being shined at it. Prior to this, as I went inside, my fiance obsessed the object 'shoot' something out in the direction it was traveling, south. When the object stopped, we immediately were afraid it was going to harm us, but it began moving again after about 1 minute. I shined the laser again after it started moving, and it stopped again, but only for a moment, then continued south until it just disappeared. I am absolutely certain this was not a satellite flare, an aircraft, or helicopter. It was far too high, traveling far to fast to be able to stop, and resume motion. I remember precisely the path it took, where it stopped, and where it shot something out. About 1 year prior, we observed a similar event, but after stopping the 2 changed directions and shot off at impossible speeds, but we never reported or spoke of it. We have been seeing strange things since that day at night.

Two very bright bright white spheres one more so than the other. Both shape shifted. One to the west, and one adjacent to the moon

Bright shape shifting spheres, 4 total. Two east, one west, and one adjacent to the moon with an almost Christmas star appearance.
I went to get my phone to record and binoculars to get a better focused view. These things are amazing. I could see red and white in color and all were moving fluidly, with a close up similar to a golf ball.
An airplane flew directly below the two in the east.

6 Bright lights over Hartselle Alabama

My 29 year old son was traveling Interstate 65 south from Decatur Al going home from work. Approaching the Hartselle exit he noticed these lights in the sky around 5:39pm and stopped to photograph them. Multiple cars were also stopped taking photos. The lights in the image seem to be oblong but he said that was his camera as the lights were a solid circle. They hung around about 5 minutes then disappeared.

I don’t know what they would want in Hartselle but Redstone Arsenal is in Huntsville,Al, about 25-30 minutes away by car. I’m assuming a few seconds in ufo speed.

Changing lights in the sky

Last night I woke up around 11 pm. I got up to get some water and noticed there was a triangle shaped object in the sky above the tree line to the south of my house. There were lights on the object, one on each point, and I initially thought it might have been a plane but after standing there for several minutes, I realized the object was not moving.

I woke up my friend who was staying the night and by the time we got back to the window, the lights had started pulsing.

As we watched, the object seemed to change shape and two more lights appeared on the object. It looked as if there were two poles suddenly coming out each side of the now spherical object and they were radiating almost a rainbowish light. After a few minutes of watching this, we both became unbearably groggy and sleepy. In all honesty, I don’t remember going back to bed and neither does my friend.

This morning when I was leaving for work, my neighbor remarked that we “had lights again”. I reported on 12/29/16 that both the neighbor and I had seen two triangle shaped objects above the tree line to the south. We frequently see things in the sky that seem odd but generally we don’t see them at the same time. Since this was another case where we both saw the same thing occur, I decided to report it.

NUFORC UFO Sighting 131926
Occurred: 2016-12-29 22:00 Local
Reported: 2016-12-30 07:39 Pacific
Duration: 2 hours
No of observers: 4

Location: Hartselle, AL, USA

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Color, Animals reacted

Two triangular shaped crafts that blinked out.

Last night I took my dog outside around 10 pm. I live on the edge of the city near a heavily wooded area, so it’s usually pretty dark as we don’t have street lights. A few moments after stepping outside, I noticed there was a light blinking through the tree line at the very top towards the south. I thought it might have been an airplane or helicopter passing by. I disregarded it, really, until a few minutes later when the lights and object finally appeared over the trees. The best way I can describe it that the 3 lights on it formed a triangle. The lights pulsed very softly and would change between a bright white and blue every few seconds. The lights hovered there for around an hour until they started blinking more rapidly and the craft started moving in a wide circle around the trees. I would guess that it was making a ½ mile loop. I ended up taking my dog inside because he was so unsettled that he started to shake and at one point tried to slip out of his collar to get off the leash. I bring this up because he's a very well-mannered, calm dog and usually enjoys being outside.

A few minutes later, a second triangle shape approached from the north. The two triangles approached each other and hoovered very close to each other for just a few minutes before the first triangle completely blinked out. The second triangle then moved closer to the tree line (where the first one had sat after coming out from behind the trees). It stayed there for around 45 minutes, pulsing softly. Around midnight, the lights started glowing brighter and then all three lights seemed to move and meet until they formed one bright light that blinked out.

While I do believe in aliens and the like, I normally wouldn’t say anything, except that my neighbors also witnessed this and brought it up this morning as I was leaving for work. They said that their child had woken them up very disturbed by the lights and had cried until both sets had disappeared.

Duration: 2 minutes

Location: Hartselle, AL, USA

Shape: Fireball
Characteristics: Lights on object

Orange fireball seen in the middle of the afernoon in Morgan County, Alabama.

One afternoon of this week I was sitting on my dad’s front porch out in the country when I saw a round orange ball of light travel across the sky high in the air.

I called my dad to come out and look at it. It was gone by the time he came out. I wish I could have got the camera and made a picture but I didn’t have time.”

This story was told to me by my granddaughter’s 12 year old girl friend on the evening of July 19, 2012, around 9:00 P.M:

"The three of us, me, my granddaughter, and her friend were outside sitting at a patio table watching the stars following my granddaughter’s birthday party. All the other children were gone. I was very much interested as my own grandmother told everyone in our family the story of she and her sister around August of 1904 seeing an orange ball of light in an area a few miles distance from this sighting.."

She and my granddaughter asked me if I knew what it was and I responded it was probably a meteorite to calm th! eir fears.

Preceding this question my granddaughter said she was afraid of space things and her friend said she was a little afraid too. I cannot give this child’s name and her custody situation makes it impossible for me to get permission to do so. If you cannot publish this under the circumstances I understand. In the light of the recent orange fireball phenomenon I decided to report it. I do believe this girl’s story. She had no reason to fabricate it.

It was just like the footage of the shuttle explosion!

Last p.m. my wife and i were leaving my parents house, we steped off the porch facing south and noticed the brightest object i have ever seen in the sky. It traveled across the sky in a north western trajectory. It was almost identical to the footage of the recent shuttle explosion. You could see it burning entering the earths atmosphere with the longest tail i have ever seen, and i watched the last meteor shower in its entirity and never saw anything resembling this. it traveled about 10ft then expoloded. After that it traveled about 25 more feet and exploded again and the the show was over. My father in law works for nasa and has confirmed no humans in space at that time with the excepition of the space station which moved over head aprox. 30 min prior. He contributes this to falling space debris or a satellite but i dont know it was the weirdest thing i have ever seen! email ((address deleted))

I was riding my motorcycle to my friends house just a couple of miles from my house

I was riding my motorcycle to my friends house one night. I saw what i thought was a small low flying plane in the distance that was traveling almost straight towards my direction. I turned on my friends road and this craft also turned in the same direction. It was flying at exactly the same speed I was and staying almost directly above me. At this point I thought it was a helicopter that happened to be going the same direction as me. I got to my friends house which had a big tree in the yard that blocked my view of the craft. My friend wasn’t home so I got back on my bike and headed back home. When I got back on the road the craft was still there. If stayed almost directly above again. I got to the stop sign and cut my bike off and removed my helmet. It was a perfect triangle with a white light in each corner with two small red light between two of the white lights. According to its orientation as it traveled, the red lights were on its rear. It hovered silently and completely still. This thing was pretty low. Id estimate 500 feet. There was no evidence of any wind being generated or any noise at all. I started my bike back up a rode off. It slowly headed north east which is the direction of red stone arsenal and Marshall space center. I’ve seen other craft in this same area as well but this was by far the hardest to argue with. I’ve done some research and found the tr3b astra. That is what I saw. It is absolutely real
