Five UFO reports filed in Alabama during the month of April 2020

Burner directs flames into hot air balloon.

It’s the fourth Saturday of the month, so today 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 April 1 and April 30 on MUFON’s website, www.mufon.com, resulted in five reports from within our state during that time.

The first incident occurred on Thurs., April 9, around 3:30 a.m. in Hamilton, which is in Marion County. The witness in this case awoke to a noise that sounded like thrusters filling a hot air balloon. He looked out a window in time to see a column of flames pass over the top of his neighbor’s house and then the flames turned into sparks as the noised died away. The sparks cast light on top of the house and illuminated the bottom of the craft, the witness said.

The second incident occurred on Wed., April 15, around 8 p.m. in Bessemer. The witness in this case, along with his fiancé and two other friends, saw six lines of moving star-like orbs that appeared to be coming out of a craft that wasn’t visible. The witnesses said they watched these orbs for 15 to 20 minutes and estimated that there were 50 to 70 of them in all.

The third incident occurred on Mon., April 20, at 4:54 a.m. in Silverhill, which is in Baldwin County. The witness in this case was walking to his truck and saw two bright lights following each other, moving northeast. As they disappeared, the witness saw what looked like shooting stars or maybe a small meteor shower that he described as “weird.” He continued to watch as several more rounds of “bright lights” followed by shooting stars or meteor showers illuminated the sky.

The fourth incident took place on Wed., April 29, at 8:36 p.m. in Cullman. The witness in this case was standing at his back door when he saw 20 to 25 high-speed objects flying in formation. He continued to watch as they spread apart uniformly without emitting any sound, reference lights or blinking lights.

The fifth incident occurred on Thurs., April 30, at 8:13 p.m. in Salem, which is in Lee County. The witness in this case saw a series of at least 50 white, bright orbs that were flying in tandem in a straight line.

“They were all the same space from each other,” the witness said. “The last two orbs were side by side of each other. They were going very fast, no tails, absolutely no sound. They appeared to come from what we believe was Venus, and they just all disappeared into space.”

Before closing out, I just want to put it out there again that I would be very interested to hear from anyone who has 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.
