Merry Widow

CONFIRMED SIGHTING

Merry Widow is a downtown Mobile cocktail bar and event room tucked into the eastern entertainment district. It is the smallest confirmed room in this run so far, the kind of close-quarters stop where the bar, stage, and line outside all become part of the same sighting.

Falkville and Fyffe — upstate

Alabama's UFO record sits upstate but it is still the state's record. On October 17, 1973, Falkville police chief Jeff Greenhaw took four Polaroids of a silver-suited figure on a county road, then chased it through a field until it outran his patrol car. Sixteen years later, beginning in February 1989, the town of Fyffe logged a six-month wave of low-altitude triangular sightings that briefly made it Alabama's self-declared UFO capital. Mobile holds the coast end of the same state.
