SIGHTING: TUSCALOOSA, AL

Witness Testimony

"Spring 2004 My husband and I are both night owls and enjoy walking our German Shepard around the block late at night when its nice and cool out. We've been in our home since Feb. 2003 and live in a small rural neighborhood on the outskirts of town. On the Night in question we had just returned to our yard after a leisurely walk around the block with our dog Trina. The sky was basically clear with only a few small clouds scattered here and there. We decided to play fetch with Trina in the field behind our house,(5 acres of flat treeless land). I'm a stargazer and am constantly looking for shooting stars when the heavens permit. Looking into the northeastern sky, I saw 3 points of light, in triangle form, moving at a steady pace high in the atmosphere traveling southeast. (I am not too sure on the direction of travel) I pointed the lights out to my husband, he suggested it was a plane. It may well have been but the lights were not blinking and there was no sound. Like I stated earlier, we live in a rural area and it is very quiet and dark, with the exception of the occasional car passing. We both watched the light formation for around 10 minutes. Without warning the lights vanished. I would like to say that it went behind a unseen cloud but the exact area it vanished at was spotted with stars and there were no clouds anywhere near. We continued to watch, thinking that if it indeed went behind a unseen cloud that surely it would reappear. 15 minutes later there was still no sign of the object. The object moved steadily and made no stops or turns. We were sober, as we both niether drink alcohol or use drugs. Although I have been a believer for many years my husband became one on that night.((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that date of incident is approximate. PD))"
