| Bright light appearing over Athens, Alabama and then winked out On above date and time, my wife and I were standing on the back porch smoking. We were facing due south and the sky was clear and the Moon and Mars were brightly visible. Suddenly a bright light appeared in the sky, about a palms width east of the Moon and Mars. It was traveling slowly in a easterly direction. I could barely make out a saucer shape on the rt. side of the light. The light was about one and a half times the brightness of the moon. Suddenly the object took off so fast that it appeared to wink out. It was a very quiet night and there was no sound of any aircraft at the time. My wife is a RN and I am a retired Police Officer. I am 65 and this is not the first time we have witnessed a unexplained sighting. This one was not very dramatic compared to what I've seen before. Just curious if anyone else might have reported something that night. |
