The report, as filed
A saw a dark colored Cigar shaped UFO at approxiamently 7:30pm. I noticed towards my right the clouds looked similar to a UFO so i glanced at it for a few seconds. It was dark out; but, not quite dark yet and the clouds were darker than the sky. As i began to seat myself, I noticed something moving across the sky in front of me. My eyes were glued in wonder as it moved with glee across the atmosphere traveling left. It didn't make a noise which is why i almost didn't see it. It blended in with the sky like a 3D effect or maybe 4 or 5D. Whatever that means. I could not believe what i had seen. It was like it defied gravity and that IS what it did. It was amazing and wonderful to see. It moved through the sky like that was what it was supposed to do. Like nothing could tell it nothing. As if it owned the sky!! And there were no lights which made it even more unable to see. It was so smooth. IT DID NOT MAKE A SOUND!!! I am truly amazed. I thought I would never see this... I always "knew" they were true!! I now have my proof!! Case is closed. I was like, "What is that?" It was moving so fast but not like super fast just gracefully fast. I knew it couldn't be a plane or helicopter. Birds are that that big and it did not flap. I only saw it for maybe 5 or 6 seconds. I looked on for maybe 10 seconds more but i couldn't see it anymore though i tried. It vanished into the clouds and blended in so well. It was gone!! I did not want it to be. I knew it was gone. It was there. RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF MY EYES and it was gone!!! I cannot believe my eyes!!! I can not identify what it was and so is I have actually saw an UFO!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!

On April 23, 2023 I was on a welding contract with Polaris which is located in Huntsville, Alabama. The room I was staying was about 20 miles west of the Polaris plant in Huntsville, Alabama. I was outside my room door smoking a cigarette when I noticed up in the sky what appeared to me at the time a airplane ascending, however in mid ascension the craft stopped and hovered , I ran back in my room and got my cellphone and started recording. While the craft was ascending it had different colored light, a really bright green, a very bright red a bright white light. The craft reversed direction and

On March 14th, I sent a report about seeing lights in the southern sky south of Huntsville Alabama. Since then, I have gone out in my back yard and checked the sky for more lights moving randomly in the sky. Every night since then, cloud cover permitting, I have seen the lights. The sky in that direction is unlit. I have seen anywhere from 2 or 3 to as many as 8. These lights are spaced from the west to the east around Huntsville. Some of the lights are brighter than others and others are smaller. In watching, they move randomly in a general area they occupy. At times they move rapidly and other times they seem to hover or move slowly. There seems to be no pattern to the movements. During times of slow moving broken clouds, the lights when covered by the clouds, seem to move to the nearest opening in the clouds. On a few occasions, there appears to be a small light suspended below the main light. Last night, March 27th 2023, while observing the lights, one of them began traveling to the east from a southerly position and at the same time one in the eastern sky began traveling west to a southerly position. The east bound light eventually disappeared in the east and the west bound light settled into a position approximately where the east bound light started from. Both lights traveled quite a distance at a moderate speed making random movements. All the lights I have seen since March 14th do the same thing every night, moving randomly, in all directions, at times darting to a spot. I have seen these lights in the evening and in the early morning hours prior to the sun coming up. On two occasions I had my wife come out to observe just to make sure I was not seeing things and she too observed the lights moving around in the sky.

While standing in my back yard at about 8:30 PM on March 14th 2023 and looking at the stars in the southern sky, one of the stars moved. I thought maybe I was just seeing some of the clouds passing in front of the star. I continued to watch, and the star moved again, moving side to side and up and down. I watched for a few minutes and then asked my wife to come out and see. We watched for several more minutes and the star continued its movements. At one point, a small light extended below the light (star) and remained for a couple of minutes and then went back up to the light. The light at one point accelerated very rapidly and stopped on a dime. It then went back in the direction it came from moving erratically up and down. Since then, I have seen the light almost every night and in the very early morning hour (3 AM) today March 20th 2023. It has appeared in the same general area of the sky each night. It appears to be higher than any cloud cover and higher than commercial high-flying aircraft that are lower than the clouds. The light was not moving like any aircraft I have ever seen.

After watching the object in the sky for around 1 minute, I started to video. While doing so, I was not watching their my camera, but still with my naked eye. After the object finally disappeared, I started to watch the video. At 32 seconds into the video, something "glitched" and only lasted a split second. I then began to edit/slow down the video and that's when I saw it. A grey object with what appears to be some kind of smoke emitting from around it. You can clearly see details on one side, and it doesn't look smooth. I did not see it land, but just kind of fade from sight.

March 1, 2022, Huntsville, Ala., afternoon before dark….a friend told me to come outside and look at an object, I did and it was about 50 yards away, just above the trees. It moved to my left about 50 yards and stopped. This object looked about the size of a VW bug car, it was dark inside an orange ball shape light. As I watched this, another one, looking the same flew up to this one, they were about three houses away. Then one went to the front of my house and I went to and out my front door to look, it was at the end of my street and not moving. This one went back, next to the other one and after about 5 min., they both, side by side went east till they went out of sight. This was seen for about 30 min. The dark part inside the orange ball had the shape of a top. My friend took digital video of the two objects flying side by side and they were close enough to hear any type of motor…they were silent. The reason I tell you about this is that last night, around 9 pm I saw a similar sight…first one then a couple of mins. behind another one. These were going in the same direction but higher up and about a thousand ft. away, close enough to hear yet again…silent. To let you know, I see all manner of flying craft daily and nightly yet these are the only craft to fly silently seen to date. Thanks for your time.
