Circle over Anniston, AL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My friends and I were standing outside on the west side of Anniston, Al. As soon as I walked out I noticed a very bright light in the NW part of the sky. Couldn't be Venus. I've been looking at these stars for 38 years, from the time it's warm enough to sit outside until it it's too cold. So, it's fair to say, I can quickly spot what's not supposed to be there. The light would dim and completely disappear. Then, it would brighten back up. I timed the intervals, they were odd.. This lasted for over an hour , until it disappeared Ava never appeared again. This is the third time I've witnessed something as such.

Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. 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.

It was a fast moving craft that looked like a fire in the sky but then all the lights went off on it and it was just a black craft flying in the sky. After watching it for a few seconds after the lights went out on it , the craft just kinda faded away and could not be found again. I did get video of it before all the lights went out but it is very shaky and hard to make out.

I was on the back porch, looking Into the sky I take photos of the stars often and right in the low cloud bank a V of red individual orbs flew silently over top m of my apart, It was like something I've never seen before right out of a movie. A massive sense of fear washed over me because I knew this was truly unworldly.

We saw a red object coming at a high speed of velocity from the southeast region of the sky. It grew larger as it came closer and stopped at a certain point, made a few figure eight zig zag and then disappeared. About an hour afterward, a smaller one appeared from the same direction and it didn't follow the same path as the UAP before it. It came a little further towards where we were and before it disappeared it seemed to come down as to say it got larger as it look like it was coming towards us in a downward motion of horizontal motion, and then vertically took off. The object left no light or tails behind it or anything to make us believe that it may have been a comic there were no flashing light to indicate that it may have been a military aircraft for a plane or a helicopter, Etc . And the colors of was red for both objects but it changed from way to White and then it had maybe kind of a bluish tint to it and then went back to read before going wherever ! we went.

This post contains two seperate sightings: one made by me and one by my girlfriend. Both happened while we were travelling in a vehicle. Only one of us spotted the UFO each time. 11/09/17 around 15:00. My girlfriend and I were riding home in the car. I regularly scan the sky for aircraft as we live near a military base as well as a DHS compound. I have no military background but can easily spot the difference between a helicopter and a plane, of which we see and hear several every day. I looked into the sky and saw two green lights side by side, as if they were the exhaust from an engine on a single craft. It appeared as if it was not moving, or moving slowly, when I initally noticed it, however I pointed at it and told my girlfriend in the passenger seat to look and before she could raise her head it flew straight across the sky in half a second, leaving no trail or evidence it was ever there. There was no noise. This was my first UFO sighting, however I have always been a firm believer despite this being my first sighting. Today, 11/13/17 at around 19:00, we were also on the road and she was gazing at the stars while I was driving. She said she saw a green circular light in the sky that appeared to be moving very fast. She turned her head around to make sure it was not a green light coming from the inside of the car, which there is not a green light in my car, and when she looked back out the window it was gone. I did not witness this, she just informed me right after she saw it. This happened within two seconds as well. This is not a joke. These two things happening to us individually within just days of each other prompted me to Google “green light ufo” and I found this website. I felt compelled to report what we saw.

Coming out of church last night, myself and two other ladies were in the parking lot talking and about to leave. A red fireball object, kind of dancing, maybe a drone, slowly came toward us at about 75 feet above our heads, hovered over us for about a minute and then slowly went out site behind trees. We then saw a large plane flying much higher seconds later. As we left the church separately, I drove alone to try and find it for 5 minutes. I pulled into a parking lot on Old Birminhame Hwy of an abandoned store, 6 blocks from the church. I spotted it up on the mountain above trees just up behind the area of the church, but the light was white, and no red. It hovered moving slowly. No houses there. I saw it head West toward the direction of Lincoln. I drove West on the Old Birmingham Hwy. It was beside me on the left in the sky, keeping pace with my car at about 30mph. I was on the phone talking to another church member about it. I lost sight of it when I came around a curve. Coming out of the curve, I spotted it again, on the right side of me, but it was way ahead, a couple miles down the road at the Lincoln area already in seconds, then it disappeared. I wondered if it was a Homeland Defense drone or something. No other reports had been made about it to the Sheriff. Very strange. Most bizarre thing I've seen in my 60 years. #ScratchingMyHead
