A search for UFO reports in Alabama between June 1 and June 30 resulted in one report that some of you might find interesting. The sighting took place on June 28, and the witness said that he was walking back to his hotel from a restaurant when he saw something unusual.
“I had taken a moment to look up and see if I could see stars in the sky. Upon looking up towards the south, I noticed a bright object emitting a reddish color. A moment or more later, I noticed more objects to the further south. Each had a stationary appearance and then upon a few moments more observation, they began changing color and flickering and some in the far distance began swaying and in my words ‘dancing’ in a slight side to side movement.
“At first I wasn't able to really tell if these were advertisement balloons or something else in the sky until they really started to do special movements and changes in color, etc. After a long period of just observing and such, the farther ones kind of faded away off to some other part beyond vision while the closer one seemed to stick around with me for awhile.
“Eventually I had to go inside, and the close one also gradually went away. Hopefully there were others that observed them also.”
Fans of writer Stephen King in the reading audience will be pleased to hear that the “King of Horror” is planning to release another novel in his “Dark Tower” series.
The novel, “The Dark Tower: The Wind Through the Keyhole,” is expected to be released in April 2012. For those of you familiar with this series, the events in “The Wind Through the Keyhole” take place between “Wizard and Glass” and “Wolves of the Calla.”
In my opinion, King’s seven previous “Dark Tower” books are among the best books that he’s written. If you like a good story, I recommend that you check out this series of books. You won’t be disappointed.
The complete series is as follows “The Gunslinger” (1982), “The Drawing of the Three” (1987), “The Waste Lands” (1991), “Wizard and Glass” (1997), “Wolves of the Calla” (2003), “Song of Susannah” (2004) and “The Dark Tower” (2004).
