Mississippi UFO Sightings in 1987

Full Report Text:

I saw a UFO one fall night in the shape of a golden circle. It was one fall night when my boyfriend and I decided to ride around the campus of the college we were attending. We decided to park so that we could talk and listen to music when we noticed this ball of light which looked somewhat gold in tone drop down from out of the dark star lit sky.

At first we thought it was a huge falling star but it came to an instant stop like nothing we had ever seen before. Then all of a sudden it moved horozontally to the south so fast and came to an instant stop. We both looked at eachother with our mouths opened and asked eachother, "did you see that?" We both said yes and were afraid that the other one would say saw what.

But as we looked the object went straight up like a shot and disappeared. But as fast as it disappeared it reappeared and moved from north to south like no other craft we had ever seen. The color of the object seemed to grow in intensity instantly changing from a dim hew to a bright hew of gold.

At that moment we felt fear and decided to leave and say nothing thinking noone would believe us. I am positive that UFO's exist. And I know that the guy I was with that night will back me up.

Richton, Ms. "lights Above" Two friends and myself were parked around 2:00 a.m.

at Creel bridge outside of town about 10 miles. I got out of the car to use the bathroom behind the car, when I saw "Car lights" shining on me,and then I thought a car "couldn't" be coming up from behind because it was only woods behind me, as I turned around I saw it. I can't possibly explain the feeling I had when I looked up, theres really no way to describe it, above the trees behind me (in the air) was this huge thing, I can only describe it as being shaped like a boomerang, except the middle part wasn't empty like on a boomerang, and it was covered all the way around the edges with differant colored lights, it seemed like it was a hundered miles away, but at the same time it was like I could almost reach out and touch it.

The really strange thing was it made absolutely no sound at all, and it seemed to barely be moving, well of course I finaly came to my senses enough to tell the two with me, to hurry and get out and look and see this, well they did, we all just stood in awe, then decided to jump back in the car, and take off, when we pulled onto the road we stopped and looked again, but it was gone. There are alot of sightings around Perry county, but with the town of Richton being so small, alot of people are scared to talk about it, not me !! I believe (my theory) is there is so many sightings because of Richton sitting on such a huge salt dome. ((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate.

What we thought was an airplane in trouble and getting ready to crash land was really a diamond shape UFO In June of 1987 me, my daughter and my niece where on our way to the store around 7:00 p.m. and, I was driving.

We thought we saw an air plane falling from the sky so I went speeding down the street to where we thought it would have crashed about a quarter of a mile down the street in the opposite direction from where we were headed and all the way we were thinking “this is going to be terrible” we could call for help once we saw where it hit, but we couldn’t really tell because it when down over a cluster of trees. When we got to where we thought we would see fire and smoke and evidence of a crash there was nothing. We thought well maybe it was a helicopter flying low so, I’m still driving but we are looking up to see a helicopter but, it was not a helicopter nor was it an airplane.

It was a diamond shape object hovering just over the top of a little mom and pop restaurant (the restaurant set at the corner of a street called Carnation and the front of it is on Medgar Ever Blvd in north west part of the city,Jackson, MS and it is still there) a quarter of a mile down the street where we thought the trouble airplane would have crashed landed. We where so scared I turned my car around and took off down the street away from it praying that whatever it was would not come behind us . but it did, my daughter and my niece were screaming "It's coming, its coming," only it zoomed upward pass us back up in the sky out of sight.

We knew that we would be laughed at or talk about so we tried to make sense out of what we saw, but we know what we saw was real, there was no question about it but, we promised each other we wouldn’t say a word about it to anybody, and we totally forgot about going to the store. There are people who don’t believe there is a such thing as a UFO, will guest what, I use to be one of those people! .but I lie to you not .

BELIEVE IT! .I saw it with my own eyes’ me and two other people and I will never, never, never ever forget it. I just hate the fact that people think a person would make up something like that.
