It’s the second Friday 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 four reports from within our
state during that time, including one from Andalusia.
The first incident occurred on Thurs., June 11, around 10:15
p.m. in Slapout, which is in Elmore County. The witness in this case was
walking his dog before bed and saw an unusual star-like object in the sky that
caught his attention. The man continued to watch the object and noticed that it
appeared to be about a mile away, hovering about 1,000 feet above the ground.
The man continued to watch as the light disappeared only to
have greenish orange lights appear around its edges and a white beam of light
shine straight down from beneath it. “I thought it looked like a saucer with
the lights arranged around it,” the witness said. In all, the witness watched
the strange object for over 10 minutes and at one point the object moved as
close as 500 yards away from the witness.
Eventually, the object passed over the witness, who
described it as triangle-shaped with the point of the triangle squared off. The
witness then ran inside and described the incident as “extremely scary.”
The second incident occurred on Fri., June 12, around 10
p.m. in Columbiana, which is in Shelby County. Two witnesses in this case saw a
UFO fly silently over a cow field. At first, they thought it was an airplane,
but knew it was something else because it didn’t make any noise.
The witnesses grew frightened and hid behind a mobile home.
About five seconds later, they watched as three to five planes appeared, flying
toward the UFO. Shortly thereafter, they lost sight of the UFO and planes, but
later they saw more planes flying across the sky in the direction of the UFO.
The third incident occurred on Fri., June 26, around 5:18
p.m. in Theodore, which is in Mobile County. The witnesses in this case were
traveling north of Bellingrath Road, about a mile from Bellingrath Gardens and
just past Delchamps Road. At first, the driver noticed a “glimmer of light” in
the sky and thought it was an airplane.
As the witness’ eyes focused on the object, he realized that
the object was 500 to 1,000 feet away and was cylindrical in shape. The driver
stopped his vehicle to watch and determined that the object was stationary. He
also said the object was 30 to 100 feet long, looked metallic and emitted no
sound.
The witness also noticed that there were four to five black
circles in the middle of the craft that looked like windows. The witness
watched the object for about two minutes before it moved east and became lost
behind the trees. The witness said the object looked like an “extended shiny
can of beans with no label.”
The fourth and final incident occurred on Mon., June 29,
around 12:30 a.m. in Andalusia, which is in Covington County. The witness in
this case was walking home from a friend’s house and looked up in the sky to
see three different-sized orange lights flying straight towards the northeast.
Each of the three orange lights had very long rays of bright light trailing
behind them, the witness said. The lights emitted no noise and eventually
disappeared from view behind some trees.
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.
