Light over Hanceville, AL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I think I witnessed a UFO this morning in Hanceville, Al. I'm not from this area but I'm here working. I travel SR-31 south every morning on my to work, usually around (5am) so it's always dark. This morning I glanced up to see the stars and I noticed something strange or unusual to me. At first I thought it might have been an airplane or helicopter but it was moving too slow and it lacked the flashing red strobe light. This object was a bright ball of light with a faint red/orange tint to it. Like I said I was traveling south on 31 and the object was moving East to West slowly, just above the mountain there. I watched it for about 10 seconds or so and the sky is wide open there with great visibility, so there was literally nothing that it could disappear behind, and it just vanished right in front of my eyes. Like I said, I'm not sure what it was but I wanted to share my experience and see is anyone else has had similar experiences. I'd like to stay anonymo! us due to my job and political status.

Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.

My wife and I witnessed 12 silent, single lights with the exact same trajectory, moving SE, appx. 30 seconds apart at a high rate of speed. Each light disappeared at the exact same location as it was reached. We then saw a thirteenth light appx 1.5 min after the twelvth, stop halfway, then abruptly switch direction and go N. It disappeared 30 second or so after.

It was a green light that just sat there for a second. It had a slight pulse to it. It flew away to the east at a high rate of speed t
