Unknown over Salem, AL

The report, as filed

Lake Harding (located on the Alabama/Georgia State line in East-Central Alabama) I walked out on my front porch. I observed an odd light and watched to see what it was. It became obvious it was NOT an airplane. The light(s) color was a red-orange and appeared to be multiple lights. There was no flashing, or green, light as exhibited in an airplane. I walked back to the door and told my husband I was looking at something that didn’t look like an airplane. I returned to my original position and still observed the odd lights. I walked off my porch into the yard and it changed direction to the west. It had originally been approaching from a south-southwest direction. As I walked off my front porch, the lights became very small and vanished in an instant. Background: I worked in the local District Attorney’s Office for 32 years before retiring. After taking a year off, I decided to use my real estate license, obtained in 2008, and have been working as a Realtor® for the past 4 years. I have been a Board Member on the Opelika Chamber of Commerce as well as the National Association for Justice Information Systems. I have lived on Lake Harding, a tributary of the Chattahoochee River, for 16 years. My husband indicated, after I explained what I saw, that he has seen similar activity in the past. I want them to come back so I can talk to them!
