Mississippi UFO Sightings in 2016

Full Report Text:

We were heading north on Hwy 63 and saw a glow in the sky just north of Trent Lott airport. We thought it might be an airplane, but it didn't have flashing lights. Then it disappeared.

It was traveling NW. We saw it several more times between Moss Point and the Barton community. It moved very fast sometimes in a NW direction and the last 2 times we saw it going in an easterly direction.

It had no distinct shape just kind of a fast moving glow. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

Mysterious Red-blinking Lights Appear and Disappear, After Hovering Stationary Over Busy Shopping District in Biloxi, MS. At around 10 minutes past midnight on 11/24/16, I left Diberville, MS Wal-Mart and was in the process of loading my groceries into my car, when one of the shopping cart retrievers said loudly: "Will you look at that? What is that?" I immediately looked his way, which was to the north of the parking lot, and along with five other Wal-Mart employees (and maybe dozens of others we couldn't see in the area) were staring at what was at first glance, two stationary (hovering in-place) red, blinking lights. Almost instantaneously, two others popped out of what appeared to be nowhere, in equidistant proximity to the first two.

What was instantly apparent to me was the nature of the sighting, these lights weren't an airplane or any known aircraft that I could identify due to the nature of the lights. They were silent, no apparent noise, they were stationary, as they didn't have a specific trajectory or path in any direction. Also, the fact that they seemed to be blinking in unison and were hovering silently discounted the possibility of being any known aircraft.

We have an air-force base close by (Keesler AFB in Biloxi, ~ 6 miles from the sighting) from which land and take-off many C130 Air Force planes (Keesler is a home of the Hurricane Hunters). Now, I've seen many a C130 land and take off at night, and the sighting pattern of what we seen last night was as different from a C130's profile as different could be. Then, almost as suddenly as these lights appeared, in twos, they disappeared completely from sight, in twos (there were four visible to us).

The whole incident lasted maybe 40 seconds to 1 minute. Within 10 second of the UFO lights disappearing, the car alarms on four cars in the parking lot began to chime in unison, as if some kind of invisible beam and/or electromagnetic wave pulse triggered them. One of the Wal-Mart employees then said in a spooked voice: "Something strange is goin' on here!" I agreed!.

Floating lights in the early night sky. 12 lights approx. 200 feet from the ground.

We all saw what appeared to be floating lights. They weren't white, more of a yellowish tone. They appeared to be moving from the north towards the south and maybe at times, southeast.

Possibly 200ft from the ground. They were low. At first we thought they were lanterns, then we thought helicopters, neither.

They sort of fell to the ground and Or out of sight. Really weird and not something expected. The were in a regular flight pattern, as we don't live too far from a small airport.

These were not planes. No noise. Maybe drones, but 12 at a time… Anyway, was hoping someone else noticed this occurance? We will be looking this evening, just in case.

Triangular UFO with one bright light at the point. I went outside to walk my dogs, and noticed a very bright star. I live ten miles from town, so I never have street lights preventing me from seeing stars.

The brightly lit star suddenly turned orange and then red. I quickly yelled for my mother to come out. As we are watching, it changed back to white, but dimmer.

Then a beam of white light appeared diagonally. At that point, we were looking at a single bright light, and a beam coming down and angled to the right. Next, a second beam came down diagonally to the left.

So, it is a bright light with two beams coming down to form a triangle. A bottom beam never appeared. You could compare it to an upside down letter "V" with the bright light at the point.

We watched as it reduced back to a single light and faded out of sight. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

Different colors circular object non movement in same spot numerous times; no sound; light beams to ground seen twice Just came across this site. I have seen this circular object in the sky near my home in wee hours of morning numerous times. Twice there has been two large beams of very bright light come down to ground.

The circular object remains in same spot and can only see bright different color lights moving in a circular motion. My daughter who lives a house up road from me witnessed a bright light hitting the ground outside her bedroom window. That is where I saw the one I witnessed outside my bedroom window.

I have not seen it in the last few nights/mornings. There is no sounds or movement. My wifi lights on unit start flashing which they normally do not do.

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

They looked like floating lights, but as we got closers they got bigger and started turning. We thought is was a drone but as it got in front of the moon, it had no outline or shadow.

Several white lights along with one orange light 5 nights in a row. Made impossible movements with quick moving and sudden stops. Beginning on the night of 9/19/16, a large orange light appeared stationary to the south of my home.

It appeared approximately 2 or 3 times the size of a regular star & had a light orange glow. It would move very quickly in a direction and then come to an immediate stop and become stationary. There were also 2 white lights to the west of the orange light making similar movements.

This continued until one white light slowly moved to the southwest until out of sight, then the 2nd white light moved west until out of sight, and the orange light moved south until out of sight after about 3 hours of hovering in the same area of the sky. These same lights came back to the same area for the next 4 days and did the same things. The 2nd & 3rd night the orange light wasnt as large as the 1st night because I believe it was a little higher altitude or farther from me.

The 3rd night after the 3 lights began to move away I noticed a large white sparkling light coming from the Northwest towards my property. It then stopped and began with the same movements and sudden stops as the others. The 4th night the orange light was larger again and there were several more of the white lights, I recall probably 6 or 7, that were in all directions in the sky.

Each night the was an unusual amount of planes that kept flying in the general area of the orange light. My property may get the random plane, but this was 7-12 planes per night. The last night I was out watching it was a crystal clear night.

Not a cloud in the sky. I noticed a strangely shaped "cloud" to the northeast right above my property. There was a large white orb shaped light moving around in the "cloud" and it began changing strange colors as the orb moved.

It eventually went completely dark. I will send the video I took of this incident because it seemed to be the strangest of all. Nights 5 & 6 were cloudy,so I plan to go and see if there is any activity going on tonight.

I have been a skeptic my entire life so I hope this sighting is tak en seriously. I work in law enforcement and unless I was absolutely sure of what I saw I wouldn't have submitted this. Thank you for all your work you do and I hope this is helpful data.

Pink star UFO hovering in the trees of Corinth, MS Another person and I stood outside and saw a pink dot star light stationary for a moment, later move slightly at times. It would fade downward and move up slightly. After it went into the tree line it moved up at a 45-degree angle and got brighter and landed in the tree line and under, hovered between the trees and glowed slightly brighter before it disappeared in the trees from afar where the object was sighted.

The object resembled that of a glowing star that would have a brighter glow depending on where you stood. Before disappearing into the far trees it got brighter and more whitish as if it were landing. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

White Lights Over Mississippi We did not see this with our own eyes - the images showed up on my camera that I use to track deer. I have a set of pictures that will show you that whatever it is is present between about 7:00-8:00. Obviously it did not make noise, due to the fact that the deer were not scared away by it.

Unfortunately this is all the information we have right now, but hopefully you can give me some insight on if this is actually a UFO or something else. ((NUFORC Note: Possibly a flying insect?? PD)).

Strange lights over large plum of smoke. I was at dinner with my husband at a local Chilli's. It is off a major highway here, HW 49.

On our way there, we saw a very large plum of smoke rising into the sky, like something massive was on fire. When we arrived I noticed it was still coming up from the ground, so I took a picture and sent it to my mother, asking if she had heard on the news of anything burning. She checked our local news website and found nothing, saying it might have been a controlled burn.

When I looked at the picture I noticed a series of strange lights hovering over the smoke. Where we live there are no tall buildings, the tallest is 15 stories, and these lights were easily as high as some clouds. There is an airport close to this area, but behind where I am taking the picture from.

The only thing in the area of the picture is a lot of woods and some small residential neighborhoods. The amount of smoke that was coming up looked like it must have been coming from a massive forest fire, or something similar, it certainly isn't what you would see with a house fire. Having lived here my entire life, I have never witnessed airplanes flying this close together, some of these lights appear to be in a triangular formation, while others just contain two lights.

There was also the absence of any blinking or red lights as most airplanes have. If you look at the photo and zoom in, to the left of the obvious bright series of lights, there are also some duller ones visible. I cannot readily explain what these are.

Curiously there has still been no report of anything burning, or of controlled burns in our news.
