It’s the third 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 April 1 and
April 30 on MUFON’s website, www.mufon.com, resulted in nine reports from
within our state during that time.
The first incident occurred around 9:30 p.m. on Sat., April
5, in Vestavia Hills near Birmingham, and witnesses claimed to have seen dozens
of lights in the sky. The witness said she spotted the lights after pulling
into her mother’s driveway and noted that the lights were “moving fast.” She
called her brother, who was eight to 10 miles away, but he reported being
unable to see the lights.
The second incident occurred around 8 p.m. on Mon., April 7,
near Slocomb in Geneva County, and the witness in this case claimed to see “an
object” in the sky when no stars are visible. He took photos of the object and
saw objects in the photos that he didn’t notice with his eyes. The witness said
that the object eventually disappeared, and he had no idea how far away it was.
The third incident occurred around 9:30 p.m. on Thurs.,
April 10, in Gadsden in Etowah County. The witness in this case was driving home
from the drugstore with his mother when they noticed an object in the sky that
appeared to be following them. The object flew at treetop level and when the
witnesses arrived at home the object accelerated suddenly southward.
The fourth incident occurred around 10:15 p.m. on Thurs.,
April 17, in Blountsville in Blount County. The witness in this case was taking
pictures of his house with a new camera, and when he looked at the pictures
later on his computer he noticed an “odd, glowing orb” in several of the
photos. The orb was about a foot above the ground and appeared to have moved
about 40 feet through heavy undergrowth in about 18 seconds. He didn’t see the
strange object at the time he took the pictures.
The fifth incident occurred around 9:30 p.m. on Mon., April
21, in Birmingham. The witness in this case was looking out of a window and saw
a bright, star-like object. The object suddenly moved south and vanished under
clear skies.
The sixth incident occurred around 7:25 p.m. on Thurs.,
April 24, in Dothan. The witness in this case was outside her house with her
two daughters attempting to watch the International Space Station fly over the
Dothan area. As the space station passed over, they saw another object, perhaps
a mile away, “floating” beside it in a straight line for about three minutes.
The seventh incident occurred later that night, around 9
p.m., in Orange Beach in Baldwin County. The witness in this case was sitting
on a condo balcony with her husband when they saw a “large, orange, orb-like light”
appear to the southwest over the Gulf of Mexico. Several more lights seemed to
emerge from the first, and one of these lights lit into a line of five to six
evenly spaced, stationary lights. These lights emitted no sound and eventually
disappeared.
The eighth incident occurred around 8:30 p.m. on Sat., April
26, in Haleyville in Winston County. The witness in this case was sitting on a
patio with his father when they saw an “amber-colored, round object” moving
south-southeast through the skies. The object, which emitted no sound, appeared
to move about 30 miles per hour and eventually disappeared behind some trees.
The ninth incident occurred around 11 p.m. on Wed., April
30, in Slocomb. The witness in this case observed a number of “flying objects.”
At first, he thought it was stars until he took photos of it, but later
realized that it wasn’t stars.
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.
