Witnesses file six UFO reports in Alabama during the month of July

Birmingham–Shuttlesworth International Airport

It’s the third 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 July 1 and July 31 on MUFON’s website, www.mufon.com, resulted in six reports from within our state during that time.

The first incident took place on Thurs., July 18, around 4:05 a.m. in the small town of Coker in Tuscaloosa County. The witness in this case had taken his dog outside and spotted an “upright triangular-shaped craft” hovering very low over his neighbor’s house. The craft was reddish-orange with many glowing orange lights, the witness said.

The craft also had portholes, a hatch and seemed to disturb the air around it. It eventually “zipped off” to the northwest. The witness noted that it was a little foggy and cloudy outside, but the craft was seen well below the clouds.

The second incident took place on Fri., July 19, at 8:50 p.m. in Lexington, which is in Lauderdale County. The witnesses in this case were driving along when they noticed some unusual lights ahead of them. No other cars were around, so they pulled over and watched the lights for a few seconds. The witnesses noted that the lights appeared to move separately but were synchronized in their movements.

The third incident occurred on Sat., July 20, around 8:30 p.m. in Bay Minette, which is in Baldwin County. This witness in this case described strange lights that appeared to land in a tree that was just outside his house near his bedroom. He ran and got three neighbors, who in turn also witnessed the strange lights. They wondered if it might have been a drone of some sort. The witness also noted that his internet service went down during this strange event.

The fourth incident took place on Tues., July 23, at 9:20 p.m. in Montgomery. The witness in this case said that he saw a stationary red dot that eventually began to blink and rise in the sky. It eventually changed from red to green and began to blink rapidly.

This light eventually began to move erratically and at an “extremely high rate of speed” to the southwest. At this point, the light appeared to be miles away. The witness eventually lost sight of it when it descended behind a group of trees.

The fifth incident occurred on Wed., July 24, at 6:59 p.m. in Luverne, which is in Crenshaw County. Witnesses in this case saw two objects with glowing, reddish-white lights that were spinning counterclockwise on the underside of the objects. The objects moved southwest slowly and appeared to hover at times.

The sixth incident took place on Thurs., July 25, at 10:20 a.m. in Bessemer, which is near Birmingham. The witness in this case was a pilot who was on approach to the airport in Birmingham. His wife opened her window shade and when the pilot looked out the window, he saw a triangle that flew under their plane, headed southwest.

The pilot was headed north for landing. He said that the triangle was not a jet or airplane and noted that it slowly rotated as it flew. He described it as “very strange.” He said that he saw it very clearly as it flew about 200 feet beneath his plane.

“It was like you would see on tv, no kidding,” the witness said. “Blew my mind. I only saw it for a couple seconds, and it was gone.”

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.
