NUFORC UFO Sighting 7702
Occurred: 1999-05-11 23:40 Local
Reported: 1999-05-08 00:00 Pacific
Duration: 5minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Tarrant (Robinwood), AL, USA

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object

I was coming home from a friend's house, then saw a triangle.

I was coming home from a friend's house at about 11:40(this was when I was nearing my neighborhood) and noticed a low-flying helicopter coming from the south, and flying over my neighborhood. This helicopter had placed itself over some treetops near the intersection where I turn to get onto my block. As I neared it, I noticed it seemed to not be a helicopter at all, as it had three lights equally spaced around a less brightly lit center with a small row of red lights flashing one after the other from outside to the inside of the bottom surface. As I turned to go to my house, it slid silently over my truck(which freaked me badly, because by this time the realization was just setting in that this was no helicopter). I nearly missed my turn into my driveway, had to reverse, to turn in (a three point turn gone horribly wrong), and as I got out and looked up, I found that it had vanished.

I checked the car's clock just after the event, and am happy to report no missing time or other wierd phenomena. Also there was a(definite)helicopter in the vicinity just prior to the time of the event, which was landing at a nearby rock quarry- I thought nothing of this at the time, having seen a helicopter there before in daylight, but in retrospect, it seems odd at 11:40 at night-not exactly normal business hours.

Glowing large orange ball in Alabama sky August, 1949.

On a Saturday night of the summer of 1949 (It would have been between July 16th and the beginning of September), my boyfriend and I (aged fifteen) were "smooching" in a deserted ball field in Tarrant City, AL, when we spied a glowing orange ball low in the sky.

To our naked eye, it was about the size of two full moons. It moved slowly around a small area for about ten minutes, and then vanished.

We were terrified, but we didn’t tell anyone what we’d seen, because we weren’t supposed to be alone in the ball field.

Of course over the years, we shared the story, but I decided it’s time to make an official report.
