Nine UFOs were reported in state of Alabama during the month of June 2014

It’s the last week of the month, so this week I’m giving you an update on UFO reports in Alabama from the previous month, courtesy of the Mutual UFO Network. A search for UFO reports in Alabama between June 1 and June 30 on MUFON’s website, www.mufon.com, resulted in nine reports from within our state during that time, including one in Atmore.

The incident in Atmore occurred on Sun., June 29, around 9:30 p.m. The witness in this case had just parked his car at his house, and when he got out of the car, he saw a strange light about 500 feet or so above a tree near a school building. The witness described the strange light as an “orange, moving ball.” The light moved about one mile in 45 seconds and eventually disappeared, the witness said.

On Mon., June 2, around 9:42 p.m., a man and his young son saw a “bright, star-like object” over Bessemer, which is just outside Birmingham. They were loading something into the man’s car when they saw this strange object about 100 to 200 feet over the tree line. The object grew brighter, as bright as a car’s high beam headlights, and then began going up and down and moving in different directions. They watched the object for several minutes before it disappeared behind some trees.

The man called relatives across town to see if they could see it, but they could not. However, while on the phone, the caller watched as another “star-like” object appeared at a much higher altitude in the eastern sky. This object appeared to flash every three seconds and followed the path of the first object. His relative on the other end of the phone confirmed that he could see this object as well.

On the night of Tues., June 3, a husband and wife in Gardendale, a northern suburb of Birmingham, reported seeing a “massive, bright, glowing orb” moving slowly across the sky. The husband noticed that the object was moving much slower than other planes in the sky, and it appeared to be “emitting its own light source.” They watched the object for a few minutes before it eventually disappeared behind some trees.

On June 3 around 4:12 a.m., a man in Centreville, which is in Bibb County, was awoken by dogs that were “barking and growling fiercely” outside. The man went to a window, looked out and saw a “dull, orange orb” rise slowly out of a wooded area to the north. The object rose to about 100 feet over the tree line then began moving slowly to the northeast. The man watched the object for about two minutes until it disappeared behind some distant trees.

On Wed., June 4, around 9:15 p.m., another witness in Centreville reported seeing a “dull, red, glowing object” just above the treetops, traveling north. Several minutes later, the witness saw what appeared to be an “almost cross-shaped object” descend out of the western sky. This object was “dull red” and moved northeast above the trees.

On Thurs., June 5, around 4:12 a.m., the same witness in Centreville that reported seeing a UFO on June 3 saw a “very brightly lit object” that slowly passed almost directly over his house. The dogs in his yard were again barking wildly and growling, and when he went to see what was the matter, he saw a “very brightly lit object” approaching slowly and silently from the northwest. It eventually drew to within 20 feet of his house and was about 200 feet off the ground.

On Tues., June 17, around 9:20 p.m. in Gulf Shores, a man and three of his family members were sitting on a balcony facing the Gulf of Mexico and saw a “bright, orange light” to the south just above the horizon. This light appeared for only a few seconds and faded away. A few moments later, another orange light appeared to the southwest and then a few seconds later, a series of four more orange lights appeared. The lights eventually disappeared, but reappeared a little later further southwest. In all, the witnesses saw the lights for about five minutes.

On Wed., June 18, around 9 p.m., another witness in Gulf Shores reported seeing unusual lights over the Gulf. This witness was sitting on the beach with his family, and there was a thunderstorm out over the Gulf, far to the east in the direction of Florida. Suddenly, they saw a “reddish, orange ball of light” to the south that vanished as they watched. Two more lights appeared and were followed by six more. “I got the impression they were part of the same craft,” the witness said, but the craft would have had to have been several hundred feet long.

On Thurs., June 19, around 9:02 p.m., the man who reported seeing a UFO in Gulf Shores on June 17, saw the same sequence of unusual lights. However, this time, the lights seemed further away and less bright. This time a total of five family members watched the unusual lights.


Before closing out this week, I just want to put it out there again that I would be very interested to hear from anyone who have witnessed a UFO, especially in Conecuh County. I think a lot of other people would be interested in hearing your story too, and I’m willing to accept your report anonymously. You can contact me by e-mail at courantsports@earthlink.net or by phone at 578-1492.
