Bright white light that slowly moves overhead and suddenly fades away, while making no sound. It was a bright white light, moving accross a tree line in front of my house. I was on the front porch; it couldn't of been much more than about 200' in front of me.
I watched it move from North to south very slowly. After a few minutes, it suddenly faded away. At the same time, a plane that was heading Westward at an elevation of 30,000+, changed direction to the North, when the light faded.

We saw two disk like objects crash. I was downtown in Olive Branch Mississippi near Memphis when there where about five metallic silver disc like objects hovering and makeing odd and strange movements without a sound. A lot of people were pulled on the side of the road wathching them.
suddenly two of the objects crashed into each other in a nearby field. The others flew away at an amazing high speed. Some kind of military personel took the rubble away it was like they didnt want anyone seeing what had crashed.
They later said they were all weather balloons, but if it were weather balloons why were they in such a hurry to pick up the rubble.

Couple observes Star-like objects over Keesler AFB I was standing on the upper deck of my apartment with my girlfriend. I was looking toward the west off and on. Having looked down momentarily, then back up, I saw a bright light in the distance.
Thinking it was a star, I said to myself, "this is the first star tonight, I'll make a wish". I looked down to pick up something for a second time, then looking back, the single star was gone and was replaced by two star-like objects, side by side, about 5 inches apart at arms length. I alerted my girlfriend as they suddenly faded out.
Above these lights all the while was a slow moving jet,leaving a contrail. In about ten minutes, we were startled to see a small BLACK single engine plane appear out of nowhere, headed southeasterly from Keesler AFB. Our apartment is about 2 miles east of the base in Biloxi, Ms.
This is my first UFO sighting, but hopefully not my last.

Trucker observes Star-like object near Lake Center, Ms. While driving a tractor-trailer rig from Tupelo, Ms. to Fayetteville, Arkansas, I observed a pear or tear-shaped star-like object, just off Hwy.
78, near Lake Center, Ms. It was just above tree level and appeared to be about the size of one-fourth of a dime at arms length. At first, it was yellowish in appearance, like a star, then faded to red, then to blue, before disappearing.
Obviously, it was traveling paralell to the highway, as I kept it sight for 3-4 minutes, before it faded. ((NUFORC Note: We received a telephoned report about this sighting. We have no idea what the witnesses observed.
PD)).

Roughly 50 ft. overhead were two enormous crafts with dozens of white lights flashing on and off an random intervals My wife and I had just gotten off work near the Barnes Crossing mall. We were headed to my mother’s house, where we were staying, and as we approached the 45 overpass we couldn’t help but notice an enormous, stationary, metallic craft floating roughly 50 ft.
above the overpass. It was covered in dozens of white lights all flashing at apparently random intervals. We got out of the car and watched for what seemed like 15-20 minutes.
All of a sudden, a second, identical, craft approached from over the tree line to the right. It halted next to the first, and in a split second both shot off, in unison, toward the right.

look guys awhile back my wife and i saw something that was very strange,we had gone to bed and was laying there talking the lights were off all of a sudden we saw a bright flash it sort of looked like a cam flash went off in the living room our dog started barking. and i say something in front of the bedroom door that,i know this is crazy but it looked like one of those gray aliens you see on tv it stayed there for 5-6 sec then moved past the door disipearing in the living room. we had a very scared feeling (hair standing up,wide eyed heart racing fear).
we basicly said lets get the crap out of here we grabed the dog and went to my mom's 8 miles away for the next 2 nights. I really don't get scared,i don't see things i'm just a life insurance agent and no i was not drinking or doing drugs,i can't explaine it. Thanks ((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate.

details of my first sighting of triangle in Hermantown. I don't know its altitude, but it took up half my windshield! first of all, i'd like to say i'm very excited to share my observations with this site(which i just discovered). In roughly august 2001, i was driving northbound on highway 53 through hermantown.
when i got to the dopplar radar, my friend's dad(itting shotgun), pointed to a "airplane" on the left side of the road. i thought nothing of it at first, but then realized it was much too large to be a commercial jet and started watching it. the craft continued to cross the highway directly over my car.
i stopped right on the highway(as other motorists sped by!) the craft took up over half my windshield relatively-wise and i saw it clear as day. the most striking characteristic to me was that the craft did not seem aerodynamic at all! it was like a triangle, blocky ship(like a triangle brick, very thick)ttom. it was not smooth and was covered in what i can only describe as"piping and ductwork" this thing looked like it should just drop from the sky like a brick.
it was equilateral with had a large white light on each corner and a blinking red light in the center.i got out of my car to listen and there was no noise. i know this thing landed just over the treeline, not more than 500 ft from hwy 53! it was right next to the ANG base(which is definitely in operation, by the way) on the right side of road by Pure Pleasures and the national weather service Dopplar station.
this was the most exciting thing i have ever seen and it gave me newfound faith in the strength of the US military. if this thin could carry troops or tanks, it will change warfare forever. i watch the sky by hermantown everytime i drive by it; and i'm willing to bet this craft lands here every day around 10-1030.
i have seen the light pattern numerous times(app. 4-5)n, but never anywhere near as close as my first sighting. this ship has enormous capabilities, possibly cloaking( in one daytime sighting, the ship seemed to be the same blue as the horizon, only the bright lights showing) it also moves very fast(one evening sighting, the tri-light pa! ttern wa s over the treetops traveling south parrallel with the highway seemed to kick it down and go really fast towards hermantown.
this light pattern was as big as a nickle relatively speaking.) sorry if this message is too long, but i'm excited that theres an organization that studies this type of thing. i dont want to jeopardize national security, but this craft is real and I personally believe it is based out of the hermantown air national guard base.
your investigators best time would be between 930-1030. there are numerous business parking lots right along the highway. If i owned a camcorder i'd be there already! i just wonder why this craft has been stationed up here so long(at least one year) i hope this information leads you to an equally as amazing sight as we were treated to.
Peace ((name deleted)) ((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate. PD)).

Triangular object seen twice within one hour, in a city area, 4 witnesses. At approximately 10:08PM CST, me,my friend, and my 2 cousins were traveling down Morrison Drive heading North, I looked at the tree line and spotted a flying triangular object, with what appeared to be 3 white lights in the front but as it passed over it i observed that there was a light on each corner of the triangle and the two on the back were shining forward in bright intensity as to cast a beam of light straight ahead. There was also a smaller, less bright light on the back between the two bright ones, and one red in the middle.
I called the attention on everyone in the car, I screamed "stop the car" we all saw the object as it was hovering then sped off SW then disappearing, it was then 10:10 PM. It was about 100 ft. or higher in the sky.
The sky was clear, no clouds, and no visible stars. I am a ammature ufo researcher, I read about them in my spare time, This is the first absolute clear image i have ever seen. My friend, Jennifer, is not a real believer in any paranormal.
One cousin, Courtney, WAS a straight skeptic until last night. and my other cousin, Kristin, was neither believer nor skeptic. At about 10:45-10:50, we were at my house, when we decided we had better draw what we had seen while it was fresh on our mind.
Kristin was in my room, she screamed she heard something above the house we ran outside just in time to see it take off from over our house heading straight SW again. I am positive it was the same object, I live less than one mile from where the first sighting was spotted.

Tupelo woman has daylight sighting I was waiting at a traffic light on South Gloster street, south of Tupelo, about 1230 hours CDT when I glanced above the light at a large "Chemtrail". As I observed the trail, just below it appeared a very bright sphere or disc. At first it was stationary, then moved a short distance to the east, changing to a darker shade as it moved, then just disappeared.
I continued to my home where I reported the event to my husband.

saw it as one shape then changed to two moved too quickly to be a plane and changed direction of flight to abruptly it was late saturday night we were at a bon fire it was around 11 o'clock and i was the first to see it. the object had no distinct shape but it did appear to be on fire. my freinds all thought it was an airplane because we live two town down from an air force base.
