Silver disc UFO reported '20 feet off ground' over small Alabama town
An Alabama couple driving north along I-65 in Calera reported watching "a silver disc 20 feet off of the ground and about 50 feet" away, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witnesses first noticed "two bright, white flood lights and a blinking red light in the middle."
"The lights were brighter than any I have ever seen," the reporting witness stated. "We thought it was a tower. I was supposed to turn left after getting off at the Shelby Co. Airport exit, but just had to go right and check it out."
The couple disagreed over whether the lights were on a tower or not.
"We saw from very close up, a silver disc with white lights on either side and a red flashing light on the middle front. I felt as if it was watching us because it was tilted towards us. She said 'lookout!' as I was going into the other lane and a car was coming."
A two-story building then blocked their view momentarily from the object.
"I whipped the car around and went right back. Less than 60 seconds had passed. It was Gone!"
The couple reports that four other witnesses saw the object, but did not follow it.
No images or videos were included with the MUFON report, which was filed on January 4, 2013. The events occurred about 5 p.m. on December 18, 2012. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Calera is a city in Chilton and Shelby counties, AL, population 3,158.
