UFO Sighting in Hoover, AL
Date: February 23, 2025 Time: Approximately 4:45 PM
Location: Hoover, AL
Yesterday, around 4:45 PM on Sunday, February 23rd, while out with my kids on John Hawkins Parkway near Lake Crest Animal Clinic, we noticed someone gazing up at the sky. My son and I followed suit and spotted numerous black dots flying above us. I decided to pull over and take some photos of the event.
The cloud cover was quite high, and the objects appeared to be large. One by one, they seemed to vanish above the clouds. I would estimate their altitude to be around a couple of thousand feet, and since I’m familiar with the area near Bessemer Airport, I have a good idea of what planes look like at various heights. A military friend suggested they might be drones equipped with safety cages, but I can’t help but wonder why there were so many of them. In my initial (and not-so-great) picture, I could count 17 dots. The entire occurrence lasted for about three minutes. Be sure to zoom in for a better view!
That sounds like a fascinating experience! It’s always intriguing when we spot something unusual in the sky. The fact that you noticed a cluster of black dots and that they seemed to disappear into the clouds adds an element of mystery. Given your familiarity with planes in the area, it does raise some interesting questions about what you witnessed.
Your friend’s theory about drones makes sense, especially if they were operating nearby. It’s possible that a group of drones was being used for some sort of event or training exercise. The high cloud cover could make it harder to identify them clearly, which might explain why they appeared to vanish above the clouds. Have you shared your pictures anywhere, or do you have any updates from others who might have seen the same thing? It would be interesting to hear if anyone else has any insights!
