TL;DR I saw a UFO 17-18 years ago. I lived in a small low-income rural area around Opelika, Alabama. I was around 13-14 at the time. I told my Mom and she believed me, but never told anyone else. It’s been so long since it happened, I started to question myself but recently talked to my Mom about it and she remembers it well.
I want to be as detailed as possible to paint the mental picture for you but i will try to cut to the chase. I was 13-14 at the time. I can’t say exactly when because at this point I don’t remember the exact day, month, or even time of year. I could ask my Mom again to see if she remembers it, if there’s any interest.
Anyways, at the time I had a small almost closet sized bedroom in the middle of a very standard layout 1970ish model single wide trailer. My bed was a futon that stayed in the couch position because my room was too small for it to unfold. I always slept with a fan in my face on a small shelf I had beside my futon so when the fan turned off one night, it woke me up.
It was the early morning hours, well before sun rise. I’d estimate somewhere in the ballpark of 1-3 am. As I wake up, I realize the power had gone out. It was pitch black and dead silent. My room was in the middle of a hallway. As I exit my bedroom to my left is a small bathroom, then my sister’s bedroom at the end of the trailer. To my right is the short beginning to the hallway, the front door, leading into the living room, which flowed into the kitchen.
As I exit my bedroom and turn to go down the hallway towards the living room, I can see a glowing bluish light coming through the kitchen window. It’s still pitch black but I can make out where I am relative to the light I see in the kitchen. It’s still dead silent. The glow coming through the window looked almost like an electric blue, like you’d see from an arch of electricity only it was slowly pulsing.
Across the road from our trailer is a thin wood line of tall pine trees with a pasture just beyond that thin wood line with a pond in it. As I cross the living room into the kitchen and lean over the kitchen sink to look out the window I can see a large, classic disc shaped UFO. Like 2 saucers stacked facing one another. There’s a smaller disc coming out of the bottom with lights around it, rotating around the disc, pulsing slowly. There’s lights around the edges of the disc, not rotating but also pulsing. The light was shining through the tree line into the window. It appeared that the craft was hovering but moving slowly up and down over the pond. This causes the light coming through the tree line to create cascading shadows. It looked almost like god rays coming through the tree line.
I don’t recall any markings, or details other than it looked like a smooth metallic disc craft, with glowing, pulsing, bluish white light. I remember it being so quiet while I’m staring at this thing that I could hear my own heartbeat. There were no street lights on, no clock on the stove, nothing. This was the only light source in the area.
I remember being entranced watching this thing and what seemed like maybe 30 seconds or so after I started watching it, this thing disappeared in an instant. Leaving me in the dark. The craziest part is I don’t remember what happened next. I don’t remember getting back to bed, going back to sleep, anything.
I remember waking up the next morning on my futon and telling my Mom everything. She’s always been spiritually open minded and had no apprehensions, she believed what I said. Recently after speaking to her, she remembered me telling her and even remembered having to reset the clocks that morning.
I wish I had more. I found the trailer and location on Google maps recently and it all looks pretty much the same. Just thought I’d share.
