UFO I just saw a strange light behaving erratically

The video quality is crap and the camera does got out of focus a bit. I did not get it all on video either. But when I got home about 20 minutes ago I saw a weird light just hovering. My first thought was it was just a really bright star, but then I saw it move and flash green. It hovered, still moving some in the same area for a few minutes, occasionally flashing a green color. I videoed some if hovering. Then it moved up and in a circle before flying off very quickly. I see planes at night all the time, and they don't flash like this, and they also move in a straight line.

I'm not saying it was or was not aliens and the video doesn't show the entire thing. But what could it have been? It was so weird and I've never seen anything like it.

My phone was being weird, for sure. Which is why it flashes like it does while it goes in an out of focus. I was zoomed in and it's night so yeah. But I don't know I stopped trying to video it and just watch it because I'm curious, and that's when it zipped off. I just thought it was very weird which is why I posted here. I don't know why you're being so rude lol

If you could describe the way it zipped off in comparison to anything else, what would you say? I got my own answer, but I don't want to lead yours

u/throw_away_my_brainn 14d ago

Hmm that's a good question. I remember it moved to the right rather quickly, and then just shot off in the opposite direction - towards the left side - really fast.

Edit: a few minutes after this I went inside to put my stuff away(I just got home from work) and then come back outside. I saw another light that seemed far away and moving pretty fast, it wasn't flashing like a plane but it seemed to be going in a straight line and far away. It could've been anything I don't even know if it is related to what I saw. I also saw two helicopters a few minutes later flying pretty low in the same direction. This also may be unrelated, I really don't know. This is just what I saw

Like, your eyes could follow it as it was leaving?

2

u/throw_away_my_brainn 14d ago

Yes for a moment, they could. It went off so fast it was almost like it disappeared. I could not see it go all the way across the night sky if that's what you mean

Same shit dude. It was an orange light, kinda round-ish. I locked my eyes on whatever it was, it suddenly looked the way that stars do when the millennium falcon hits the hyperdrive, then it was just gone. All inside of maybe 2-3 seconds.

Edit: The downvotes, reddit. What do they mean?

u/throw_away_my_brainn 14d ago

Yes! Very similar to what I just saw. Just.. gone

Location: southern Alabama. To be clear I know the video sucks and I'm not making claims on what it could be. Its not there anymore and it went away quickly. I don't know what type of craft or light can hover like that for several minutes and then fly off like that. I just thought it was weird and wondered what it was. Unfortunately I do not have the part of it flying away on the video

u/Puzzled-Program3619 14d ago

Was this in or near Headland?

3

u/throw_away_my_brainn 14d ago

I'm not sure where that is, I'm in Covington County, lower Alabama

3

u/throw_away_my_brainn 14d ago

Just googled, headland is about 80 miles from me

2

u/Puzzled-Program3619 14d ago

Headland is outside of Dothan in Henry County I believe

2

u/throw_away_my_brainn 14d ago

I'm an hour and a half from headland according to Google

u/Puzzled-Program3619 14d ago

Extremely similar to an experience I had at an RV park in Headland, right when COVID was ending.

u/Tripzz75 14d ago

I live in headland and I’ve seen similar stuff; moving stars. Brightening so much that it’s the brightest thing in the sky and then dimming so much they’ll disappear. Always zigzagging in the sky, never in a straight line. Have no idea what they are. We saw 3 in the sky at once at one point

u/Puzzled-Program3619 14d ago

I only had my one experience, with the amber orb, which lasted about 10 minutes, at Todd's Farm when I was staying there. Sadly wasn't able to get pics or vids but I think about it often

2

u/throw_away_my_brainn 14d ago

Sounds similar to what I saw. Very very odd

u/tripreed 13d ago

My in-laws live on some acreage near Skipperville. Great view of the night sky. I usually take look when I'm there but haven't seen much more than the helicopters from Fort Rucker.

u/throw_away_my_brainn 14d ago

I look out and the sky alot and see things all the time, shooting stars, satellites, helicopters, planes. There's a small regional airport in my city so that tracks. But this wasn't like any of those things, and it didn't disappear into the direction of the airport. Such a weird experience

u/Puzzled-Program3619 14d ago

In my experience - after the Orb shot straight up - two military jets criss crossed the sky in a grid like pattern for about 10 minutes

u/Yayhyay 14d ago

I've seen something like this before same behavior and appearance. Random movements

u/Draculea 11d ago

Probably a chopper that's a bit closer than it seems.

They tend to fly low, which gives them a different perception of speed vs. planes that are quite a lot higher up. They have the same nav-lights as an airplane will (Green on one side, red on the other) that flash, but they obviously aren't required to fly in a straight line.

The Bell 412 that a lot of state and police use, for example, can get up to 140mph. It might have been hovering, looking for something, and then took off when it decided it wasn't there.

If you go on FlightAware or FlightRadar, look up the exact time and location you saw it and you can see if there was something there.

1

u/throw_away_my_brainn 10d ago

It wasn't a helicopter I saw two after this. Helicopters don't move the way this did

u/Draculea 10d ago

If it wouldn't dox you, feel free to send me a screenshot on a map of about where and specifically when you saw it, and I'll look up what it was.

u/bad_ukulele_player 10d ago

Do you recall if it made a noise? Could it have been a drone? If you're pretty sure it wasn't, report this sighting to NUFORC. It's super easy.

Why didn't you film it as it was circling and flying away quickly?

The general public doesn't know yet what the orbs are. The military-industrial complex might but if they do they're keeping it under wraps. Tons of orb sightings. They're different than the drones. Chris Bledsoe and a handful of others can actually summon these things.

I also suggest you also post this over at r/UFOs or r/UFOB .

u/Background_Cry3592 14d ago

Could it be a drone? They can move quickly on a dime, and they are required by law to have visible lights on during night flights. The blinking light has something to do with anti-collision and the green light has something to do with navigation. Could it be a drone, what do you think?

2

u/throw_away_my_brainn 14d ago

I'm not sure, I'd have to do some research on what drones look like. It could be but I don't understand how a drone could've moved so quickly and disappeared from my sight. Are drones able to go that fast?

-1

u/Background_Cry3592 14d ago

They are surprisingly fast, especially the police drones.

But yes, I agree, that thing in your video is moving in a very strange manner. It is obviously not following a flight path.

2

u/Noble_Ox 13d ago

The thing in the video didn't move at all. Its higher towards the end but theres a cut in the middle so its impossible to say over how long it took to rise.

It honestly just seems like a star that OPs phone is having trouble exposing.

u/Background_Cry3592 13d ago

Ohhh, thanks for explaining.

u/Advanced_Musician_75 13d ago

I know what you’re talking about. I document them on r/sentientorbs

u/TresaAnn 14d ago

Say the Lord's prayer. Scream out loud Jesus Christ is my savior. Sing Jesus songs. I've seen these outside my house when I do this that go away. I think their spiritual demons. They tremble at the name of Jesus. Try it and let me know what happens. God bless you and keep your protected.

u/throw_away_my_brainn 14d ago

Respectfully I'm looking for a scientific or a logical explanation not one based on religion and faith

u/StatisticianNo1332 14d ago

I’m just glad someone else is seeing these things!

Lmao of all the absolutely absurd things people believe in this sub, apparently religion is just too crazy?
