I did find something that I posted from July 10, 2010. I did a search and it came up under General Freewheeling Chit-Chat under "Who among you has actually had a sighting?" Here is the post:
I live west Alabama and I did see something I can't explain one night. Now, it's in a rural area (Well, it was rural before some neighborhoods sprang up.) Now this is a fly over zone. There is Birmingham airport to the north and Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery about 90 miles or so to the south and Tuscaloosa airport locally. So, I do see planes at night quite often. Anyway, I'm looking west from my yard one night and I see this bright light. I think "well, must be a plane since that is part of the area I see them in from time to time." So, I look away and do something else (been over a year ago so I'm not sure of all detail) Anyway, I look back and the "light" is still there. I look for any sign of red or other landing lights but I don't see any. (I've noticed that planes generally have red lights if you look close enough at night. But , no aviation expert so I could well be wrong about that.) Anyway, it hasn't moved. So, it's not a plane. Well to be honest I say that now. Then I thought maybe it was farther away than I realised and it actually had moved. I'm very near sighted anyway so I don't "see" everything as clearly as some people do. But, I kept watching and it "appeared" to be stationary. I listened but heard no engine sound. Again, that could have been distance but I always seem to be able to hear the planes if I listen close enough. I called my wife from the yard and she said (ya can't make this stuff up) I'm watching something right now and if you decided it's not really a plane then let me know. (So much for the uber skeptics that say everybody jumps to the u.f.o. conclusion everytime they see a plane in the night sky.) Anyway, I think "well maybe it's a planet." But, it wasn't there the night before and hasn't been there since. Still, I keep looking. Now the next part gets a little freaky. I remember seeing somthing on youtube or an old documentary at one time. On the "film" the u.f.o. dances in the sky. Kind of a up and down and jiggly motion. Well, this thing did that. Still, I thought it's more than likely my eyes since I'm near sighted and I was moving "It's more than likely an optical illusion" Anyway, I wish I has written this down before because I honestly don't remember (no not missing time, I just don't remember) when the object left the sky. I looked and then went in and came out and it was finally gone.
Now, I'm not a believer in the nuts and bolts u.f.o. thing. I don't think they are visiting us. I'm not sure if abductions actually happen or not. I'm skeptical of the whole thing but I've had enough "spiritual" things happen in my life not to completely pass it off. Not that I'm saying this was spiritual. I don't know what this was. I still think it was either a plane or a star or ...well who knows.
