I saw a hovering aircraft outside my car window. It flew to the other side and disappeared

The aircraft was small. It looked like a hovering plane but the light wasn’t flashing. White light. It looked like the front of a circular object and got smaller to look like a star. It flew fast and disappeared

Location: Mountain Brook, AL, USA

Shape: Light


Pale blue star light object in daylight.

A co-worker and I obsevera bright starlight object in the sky east-northeast. It looked like a small but bright pale blue star.

My coworker believed it moved. I checked on it from time to time. The last time I checked it was gone.

My cowrker used NightSky app and it showed us that Jupiter was near that position in the sky at that time. I am not sure if that is the explanation. Conditions waeteherwise were clear.

Thank You.

Occurred: 2014-01-15 17:45 Local
Reported: 2014-01-15 17:21 Pacific
Duration: 1-2 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Mountain Brook, AL, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Colo

Pulsing light hovering, stationary and moving slowly over busy rush hour traffic - NOT a helicopter.

I just left work and was stopped at the intersection of 280 and Office Park Drive. I was perhaps 2 or 3 cars from the light, waiting on the light to change. Across 280 I saw what I first assumed was an aircraft moving slowly through the sky…until it stopped moving. At that point I assumed it was a helicopter, but it moved back in the opposite direction, stopped, then moved forward again. It was hovering back and forth in a way that is strange, even for a helicopter. It had a light that pulsed, changed from red to green, (did not blink in a familiar, aircraft pattern). The pulsing was random. There may have been a white light as well. All lights were tightly clustered together.

I could not discern a shape. Just the lights, but I was parked at the traffic light for a good 45 seconds to 1 minute watching it hover above the trees across the busy road (someone else had to have seen it - it was rush hour).

When traffic began to move, I pulled off of the road and looked back so I could continue to observe it, which I did for another minute or so. It slowly began to descend below the tree line where I lost sight of it. Total time observing: approximately 1.5- 2 minutes.

My theory is that it was some sort of robotic drone that an engineering student may have been testing from an empty parking lot in Mountain Brook Office Park. That’s the only “rational” explanation that makes any sense to me at this point.

I tend to have a critical eye and I do not jump to conclusions. But this was exciting because-whatever it was–it is the first of its kind I've ever seen.

Shape: Oval
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object, Aircraft nearby

Six U.F.O's heading to the same spot blasted by over our heads.

We were sitting on a hill having a picnic. I ventured off to look for a stick. I looked up in the sky and called to my friend. In the sky were 5 oval shaped things with 100 feet long tails. The color of the craft was white with red flaming tails. The distance apart was at least 20 meters appart. Planes have to be 100 meters apart so we know it can't be airplanes. When we sat back down we saw another one. They were all heading to the same spot.
