Two UFO reports filed in Alabama during the month of November 2018

Today marks the second Thursday 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 Nov. 1 and Nov. 30 on MUFON’s website, www.mufon.com, resulted in two reports from within our state during that time.

Both of these incidents occurred on the same day – Sun., Nov. 18 – but about nine hours apart. The first incident took place around 10:30 a.m. in Mobile. The witness in this case was walking from his front yard into his back yard and when he closed the gate behind him, he saw something unusual out of the corner of his eye.

He was facing north and there wasn’t a cloud in the sky, and he first thought the unusual object in the sky was some type of airplane.

“It was only when the craft was parallel with me that I could see it had no wings,” the witness said. “It was a disc but how it appeared from my line of sight made it look like a Tylenol. It was silver, white reflective with a darker strip in the middle with three blueish-white glowing round lights.”

The witness went on to say that it’s common for helicopters to fly over his neighborhood and that these helicopters often fly very low to the ground. As best that he could remember, he’d pretty much seen these helicopters every day for the past seven years, but not on the day that he saw the UFO. In fact, he didn’t see one that entire day, he said.

The second incident took place on Nov. 18 between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. The report doesn’t say exactly where the incident took place other than that it occurred somewhere in Alabama. The witness in this case was a photographer who was taking night photos with a slow shutter speed of about 30 seconds.

A couple of days later, the witness began to review the pictures he took, and he noticed something very strange in one of the pictures, something he didn’t see on the night he took the photo. The witness posted the photo online along with his report, and it does contain something very strange. Not only when you look at the photo do you see stars in the sky, but you can also see a series of 12 to 13 lights that are different than the stars in the sky.

While the stars are mostly white pinpoints, the unusual string of lights looks almost pink. Given that this photo was taken with a slow shutter speed, I think it’s actually an image of one object traveling across the sky. Whatever it is, it’s definitely something out of the ordinary.

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 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.
