Mississippi UFO Sightings in 2004

Full Report Text:

It was 4:25 a.m. on Wednesday 12/15/04 and I was preparing to set out for work.

I had taken some water outside to de-ice my truck windshield and turn on the engine to allow it to become warm enough to use the heater. Having done so I went back in the house for a few minutes. Then I went back outside and was standing on my porch when I noticed some (?) clustered lights in the western hemisphere.

I just figured it was a plane, however I stood there and watched these lights which appeared low on the horizon. After a couple of minutes they didn't seem to be getting closer, but neither did they appear to be getting further away. Then all of a sudden a single light (about half way between where I was located and where the other lights were)appeared and SHOT DOWN at an angle and then SHOT UP.

IN A CHECKMARK FASHION. This particular light lasted only a few seconds. The clustered lights beyond this were still there.

I was in shock.I have never seen this happen before! If it was a 'falling star' it certainly wouldn't have shot up again!! I was in awe and shock of what I just witnessed. After a couple moments I got in my truck and headed for work.

Within less than 1 minute after leaving (I was heading east), a plane was approaching from behind me and to my north and this plane was flying east. I couldn't see how this could be the same "clustered lights" I had seen previously because of the distance it had been during the sighting and it didn't seem possible it could have approaced me that quick. Even if they are one and the same it doesn't explain the other single light which shot down and up in the checkmark fashion!!.

A strange sound appeared to be coming from something hovering over our house. As soon as it came it all of a sudden stopped. To start with I must explain that myself and my wife have a fan and our daughters baby swing on all night and they both create a loud and constant noise.

Basically normally we don't hear anything outside unless a car drives right by the house or a fighter jet from columbus airforce flys by (maybe once aday but normally in the afternoon). We were woken up about 4:30 a.m by what at first we thought was a helicopter hovering above our house.

However rather then the sound of blades cutting through the air in a high pitched manner, this was a low droning noise, but very loud. it stayed above our house for about 2-3 mins before I was fully awake and looked outside. My wife and I were greated with a light hoovering above a building on our land and then as I went outside to take a closer look it vanished.

If there is anyone who knows of anyway we could shed some light on this rather strange incedent we would sleep much better.

V shaped light formation travleing S/SW in Biloxi I was standing outside this morning watching the meteor shower. A boomerang of lights seemed to appear out of nowhere, close to the ground but made no sound. It turned in different directions rapidly then just disappeared.

I live close to Keesler Air Force Base and figured it was probably just a plane. But I could see no outline of a plane even though it was that close to the ground and i could hear no engines. The best way I can describe what it looked like, because I can't remember how many lights, is a flock of geese heading south for the winter.

all wearing orangish~yellow lights. Maybe someone out there has a logical explanation for what I saw. I'm the biggest skeptical I know, but this has me puzzled and wondering.

Line of lights follow my car at night I was driving home from night school by myself. I was driving along the wastewater treatment plant.There is a large field to the left where they grow hay.

On the right it is proctected land for deer. It was dark and it was cold. I looked in my rearview mirror and there were three lights in a row(up and down) right behind my car.

I looked in the side mirror on the driver's side and couldn't see it behind me. I looked again in my rearview mirror and it was right on my bumper. I looked at the clock on the radio and it was fine and the radio was still playing.

I looked in the rearview mirror again and the lights were swaying back and forth still in a line. The movement was super smooth, like a pendilum on a clock. Then I saw a car coming towards me and the lights shot to the left of my car and went out over the hay field and disappeared.

It never made any noise. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD)).

Very dimly lit six object formation traveling north to south at extreme speeds I was sitting outside with my wife discussing the days events and planning the next week, when from the north my eyes noticed movement. I thought initially that it was a meteoroid as it was that dim and moving that fast. When I focused and started tracking the movement it became clear that there were 6 distinct dots in a diamond formation very dimly lit moving at extreme speeds.

The objects traveled across my viewing area (aprox 40 degrees) in less than 2 seconds. There was no sound. I have no way to determine the height of the objects but they were traveling on a north to south trajectory.

I am sending sketch of formation via email.

Two disk shaped objects at first thought to be mylar balloons or kites in the distance I was sitting by my front door when I heard the dogs in the neighborhood barking and I noticed a disk shaped object approximately 75-100 feet off the ground traveling from the Southwest to Northeasterly direction. When I first noticed it in the distance, I thought at first someone was burning something and it was ash floating in the air, but quickly realized it was too solid to be ash. I noticed a man in a car that I did not recognize stopped in front of my driveway to stick his head out of the window and looked up.

He pulled into my driveway and turned around and I wondered if he had followed the object from another area in my subdivision. It appeared to be "drifting" with the wind. I looked back in the direction from where it came because I heard children yelling to one another, "What is that!?" It was then I saw a second identical object.

At first I thought they were kites or mylar balloons. They appeared to tilt and roll, which I attributed to the very slight wind, and I do mean slight. When they turned a certain way they were almost invisible.

They certainly were close enough to the ground as they passed over my head that I could see a kind of silvery outer edge with a bronze color center, although they did not "bend" and appeared to be a hard surface. It made no sound at all and I saw no strings or wires coming from them. They were relatively small - appearing to be 4-5 feet in diameter.

While I am not labeling this as anything significant, I cannot say I've ever seen that kind of material before. It also occurs to me that a neighbor and I talk occasionally about how there are unexplained power outages in my neighborhood for no apparent reason fairly frequently. In fact, there have been two in the last couple of weeks when the weather was perfectly fine.

In fact, the last one I heard a strange sound in the distance just before it went out. While I have heard a transformer blow before, this sound was not like that, although I can't describe it. I am a 44 year old professional woman who works for a government agency.

Low , non moving, white , oval/sperical(blimp like) object seen in Ridgeland at 11 AM. I was driving to class a little before 11: A.M.

About 5 minutes before I reached the Ridgeland exit I looked over and saw what appeared to be a white plane, but I did not see wings. I am slightly near-sighted so I passed it off as vision problems, but then when I got a full view of the object I discovered it was not moving. It was hovering there, not going forward, and it was too low to the ground to be a plane.

There was a building several yards away and it was higher than the building, but it was still very low. After studying the object for a minute it slowly rose a few feet into the air but continued to hover. It was then that I took the Ridgeland Exit and went to my class.

I don't know what it was. It was not a plane or a blimp although it resembled more of a blimp like object. It was not particularly big or small, it was probably a little bit smaller than a commercial plane, but bigger than a small plane.

It was white. It had no lights and no markings. At the time there were many cars on the interstate so I'm sure others must have seen it, especially since the object was not very far away and it was a clear, sunny day outside.

It looked like a star, a bright white light. it was moving from South to the north east.It was moving very fast, and it accelerated from what looked like the brightest star in the night sky to, nothing in about 10 seconds or less.

The lights moved in reverse, forward, up and down. On a Tuesday morning, August 24, 2004, at approximately 5:45 a.m.

I was driving to work when I saw a light in the sky in the southern hemisphere. I had stopped my truck just a short distance before reaching the end of my road to adjust my seat since my son had used the truck the night before and had repositioned it for himself. This is when I first saw the light.

I didn't think much of it since I see planes all the time. After adjusting my seat I continued driving a short distance (about 60 ft.) before reaching the stop sign where I'd turn left (east) to go to work.

Once I stopped at the stop sign I noticed something unusual about the light.now there were about 8-10 lights real close together in a arch or 3/4 shaped shaped round pattern (there were lights inside the 'arch' too) . I thought this is weird.

Then these lights went in reverse, forward, up and down and were blinking at an extremely rapid pace.or at least much faster than a plane light . The lights were blinking independent of one another.

not all at the same time.each point of light about the size of a round pencil eraser and were about 30 degrees above the tree leval. They looked like they were close to the beach even though I couldn't tell for sure since a wooded area faced me.

I thought "Oh my God.what is this"?!! Then they slowly drifted below the horizon. From my position there are woods facing me just across the road where I was stopped which extend southward for about a mile or less.

beyond that are subdivisions. The beach/Gulf of Mexico is only about 6 minutes south of my home and I work about 3 minutes from home. The fire station is in between my house and work.

I asked one of the firemen who comes regularly in the store where I work if he'd seen these lights. He just made fun of me and laughed about me seeing an u.f.

o. Funny thing is I never said it was an u.f.

o.I just said they were strange lights which moved in an erratic pattern. Now here comes an even weirder part to this scene.

I had a dream just before waking up that morning about visiting my Mom in the hospital. She has been deceased since 1996. I don't recall any conversation in the dream.

however I remember feeling tired in the dream and decided to lay down on the lounge chair (in the dream) that extends out to form a mini 'bed'. I was laying on my side facing the wall when I felt a hand touch the back of head. Then the hand touched my upper back.

Then I felt these hands and arms scoop under my body and lift me up VERY gently. I never felt any fear. What I felt was a VERY LOVING male presence caring for me.

When he lifted me up it felt as though it was completely effortless.like there was no gravity beneath me.I guess like a floating sensation even though I could still feel these arms beneath my body.

Then the dream ended. I woke up, dressed for work, got in my truck and WHAM.the lights appeared!! Mrs.

Ball of light moving at a rapid speed. The ufo I saw was a white ball. It was at a fairly high altitude and moving at a speed that would not have been a jet or plane.

I was sitting on the backyard swing about 8 p.m. central/standard time Saturday, Aug.

7th, and looked down on the ground for only a couple of seconds to pick up some trash underneath the swing and when I looked back up at the sky in the clearing was this ball of light that had just appeared out of nowhere in a vast clearing in the sky. It was moving quite swiftly. I live not far from the airport here and I can say with certainty that there were no strobe lights as required by the AFA as well as this being a perfectly shaped ball.

When a plane is at that altitude it simply cannot appear to move as fast as this ball of light was doing. It was making a straight shot through the sky, had no sound, and left no chemtrails of any kind, nor was it losing any altitude like a meteor particle or falling star would. It moved across a vast opening in the sky in 30 seconds or less and had this been a plane I would have sat and watched it for several minutes before it made that distance.

This is the second sighting I've had; the other one was saucer shaped over downtown Jackson, MS, in May.

On-going UFO sightings It all started the night that my mother, sister, and I came home from my sister's Christmas program back in 1992 or so. We had left the local coliseum and were heading home around 9PM. We were headed east on a road that runs behind a cemetery and is only a half mile or so from our home.

I happened to look south out over the trees and see this huge triangle moving just above the treetops. It was 100' in length, black, four light (three white ones on each of the corners and a blue colored one in the center), and it moved slowly and silently. We came to a complete stop to watch it.

It was odd because the next thing we realized it was moving away from us in a SW direction. In the short distance to our home we never discussed it. And when we got inside our house it was around 11 PM or so.

I seriously doubt it took two hours to drive a half mile. The reason I tell this is because over the years we've seen the object(s) more than once. Sometimes it hovers and at other times it will disappear in, what seems like, a blink of an eye.

Not too long after the above incident my mother and sister were coming home from Wal-Mart and saw it again. They said they only saw it for about five seconds but as soon as my sister saw it her mouth broke out in small blisters almost like ulcers. Like I said, we've seen it many times over the years, plus other kinds of UFO's, but the last time we saw it was around the beginning of this summer, about the middle of June.

This time it was my sister and me, I was driving, coming home from a friend's house, probably around 8 or 9 PM, and there was one over the cemetery again. This time we decided to follow it. As we neared the cemetery, heading east, the object started to move off at a high rate of speed, to the NE.

I turned down another street heading N, which has a school, I stopped in the middle of the road because we could see that there were two other objects, like the triangle, forming a larger triangle. I started to go forward again and this time all three disappeared in maybe two seconds. As I stated, we've seen many kinds of UFO's.

The triangle, sphere's, cigar-shapped ones, lights that just hovered, and so on. We've also become accustomed to having bruises we can't explain,my sister's mysterious ulcers, blood on our bed sheets and pillow cases, and blood on our clothes. I also know that one night I had a very vivid dream about being in the middle of some woods and seeing a UFO above me and when I woke up there were dead leaves in my bed that weren't there the night before.

((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate. We will attempt to put the witnesses in touch with a local investigator. PD)).

Pulsating lights disappearing, then reaperaing and changing location. 500 Lights On Object 0: Yes There were three or four objects pulsating in the western sky. They were constantly changing location--appearing, disappearing, then reappearing.

While they pulsated and changed locations, they remained in close proximity to each other and in the same general location in the sky. ((NUFORC Note: Source of report indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. One of two reports from the same source.

PD)).

White light streaking across the sky. 500 Lights On Object: Yes The object traveled out of the North West on a level South Eastern trajectory. It traveled at an exeptionally high rate of speed.

The elevation was unclear, but a white light pulsated three times before it disappeared over the top of the pine trees. ((NUFORC Note: Source of report indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. One of two reports from the same source.

PD)).

three softly glowing disks flying silently and swiftly in a triangular formation we were on our balcony waiting for evening meal to complete cooking and were just taking and looking at the stars as it was a beautiful and clear evening. Suddenly between the trees that framed our view of sky what appeard to be three disks in a triangular formation passed above quickly above us.can't really describe their size or altitude other than a guess but my initial impression of their size and appearance was of three softly glowing disks moving swiftly and silently in a triangular formation might have been similar in size to a large plane flying silently and swiftly 3000 or 4000 feet above us.

However the silence and swiftness and the three softly glowing disks in triangular formation bore no resemblance to any aircraft we had ever seen or heard of. THEN THIS MORNING!.there is a photo in our morning paper(Clarion Ledger) of exactly what we saw.

taken by the Mexian Air Force recently. Check this photo out and you will see exactly what we saw.

It looked like a bright yellow star flickering blue and red and also emitting these blue and red lights around it. I first noticed this UFO just sitting outside talking with some friends. It looked just like a bright yellowish white star at first glance, however, i ruled this out when i noticed it was moving at different speeds.

First, it seemed as if it wasnt moving, or hovering, but then it moved suddenly to another part of the sky and hovered again. It was very high and very very bright. Its brightness was another thing that made me believe it wasnt a star.

I noticed that it was brighter than even the brightest of planets, however, it flickered red and blue. It also emitted these red and blue lights away from the UFO, but these emitted lights were not as large and less intense. After close to 30 mins the UFO had my field of view.

((NUFORC Note: We suspect a sighting of a celestial body, possibly Venus or Sirius. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous. PD)).

Disk over downtown Jackson, Mississippi on a clear sunny day Wowzers! I was checking the WAPT TV weather cam and saw this UFO! I had saved the two pics but unfortunately you can't do that with a webcam shot without it automatically refreshing itself. :o( At least not this webcam. I have already contacted the station to see if they have the still shots by any chance.

At any rate, at 12:15 P.M., central/standard time there was a silver disk over Jackson, MS, just to the left of the Standard Life Building (the tallest building in the pic) and about midway up.

I'm just really disappointed about this!!! In both of the pics, however, the second one was a refreshed shot with the time labeled at 12:21 P.M., so just minutes later.

and in the second pic at 12:21 it was GONE! It is a gorgeous, sunny, clear day and not a cloud in the sky today and no rain whatsoever!!! So this can't be due or rain, etc.!.

Hovering UFO in the shape of stealth plane outlined by moonlight on the Mississippi Coast. In Pascagoula, Mississippi a UFO was spotted by myself and a passenger that rode along with me in my vehicle. It was a dark and somewhat cloudy night.

At a red light at the intersection of US Highway 90 and Market Street we saw a massive object outline above us. Stopped at the red light I got out of the vehicle to look up at what seemed to be a hovering object in almost the exact shape of a Stealth Bomber. All that was clearly visible was an outline (by moon light)of the back in and most of the sides, but not so much the nose.

It was not moving and seemed to be very large but very high in the air. I’ve never seen reports of such UFOs and lack the knowledge of the capabilities of Stealth Bombers but I believe this was different. I’ll never forget it.

((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD)).

There were about 10 craft dancing above the trees until they came and hovered over us. while fishing at the preacher's lake, my buddy, his buddy, his girlfriend, another freind and my brother noticed that the fish stopped biting. My buddy noticed a few lights "dancing" over the trees the lights were randomly changing from blue, yellow, orange, fuschia, red, and green.

The lights were joined by other lights and they played above the tree line for about a half an hour then disappeared. They reappeared about 15 mins later and started flipping and spinning, and bouncing. The lights gradually got closer and flew directly over us until they passed about 40 to 50 feet overhead and they hovered giving us a good look.

When the lights dimmed down we realized that the lights were really disk shaped crafts they were silver and had an orange glow to them and had all kind of little lights and glowing parts. my buddys and i couldnt move. the lights stayed over us for a minute or two then left after two local navy??? planes chased them off we havent seen them since.

Undulating object seen over Laurel Mississippi on 3/28/04 at 2:30pm At 2:30 today my wife and I were outside allowing our puppy some time to play and do her business. We were sitting in lawn chairs when I looked up and saw a dark brownish-red object directly overhead. The object looked like a tube with each end rounded like a ball.

It was undulating and twisting around slowly. After I determined it wasn't a bird or any other known object I ran into the house to get my camcorder. My wife, who wears glasses was unable to see the object mostly because she couldn't find it in the sky.

It was moving in and out of the clouds. After I finally found my camcorder case inside I brought it outside and took out the camera, attached the battery and inserted a tape. All of which took some moments.

By this time the object had moved off and was further away. When I first saw the object it was directly overhead and moving in a north - northeast direction. Now that I had the camera I moved across the yard to a spot where I could shoot through the trees at where I figured it would be by now.

In a moment I found it and shot the attached video. The object was still moving to the north - northeast while clouds were moving slowly to the north. Today was a partly sunny day with rainclouds moving into the area from the south.

My video camera has an onboard automatic focus and it kept trying to focus on infinity during the shoot, thus the image is sometimes out of focus. At one point I pointed the camera down to the top of some trees to force it to focus. As the object moves thru the trees it appears to remain focused.

It then dissappeared into the cloud bank. My Hi-8mm camera has a 22x zoom which I had it zoomed full. The video is shakey because of this extreme zoom.

I have a higher resolution version of this file as well as the 8mm tape.

Triangle over pond Several nights before this event I had gone to let my dogs out in the backyard and behind our house is 100 acre tree reserve (we live in a very rural area) it was around 9-10pm and I saw a light shining through some trees which immediately blinked out and I thought how odd because the light was at tree top level. My husband said maybe it is some deerhunters. A couple of night later I had walked down to my sons house across my pasture and when I was coming back the mist was rising in the pasture with a large area obstructing the stars.

Out of the mist above me I saw a horizontal beam of light like a laser shining out of it. It scared me and I ran on into the house. On the night of the 19th my son called me to come outside.

I can see his home from my front yard and he was standing on the deck. He said "look down at the pond". The pond is downhill from my house in the middle of my pasture with the tree reserve on the backside of it.

A very bright light was shining down into the pond; so bright that I couldn't see the source. My son said, " I have been watching it for 20 minutes." In just a few minutes the light went out and triangle shaped caraft was lifting up!!! It turned toward my house and lifted its nose and slowly acclerated upward.

It was making a pumping sound like an old washing machine for a few seconds then became absolutely quiet. It had the white corner lights and orangish light in the center. After reaching an altitude of a couple hundred feet all the lights went out and small red blinking light came on.

As it flew off it you could no longer tell what it was. With the linking red light it now looked like any plane that would be crossing the night sky. I don't know if the other 2 events have anything to do with this but it all happpened in the same week.
