It was to high for an airplane or helicopter. On 10/13/17 around 16:20 I, my uncle and Dad were out side talking. I t was a very clear day blue sky’s.
I look up and saw a strange craft just hovering. It was way beyond any plane or helicopter reach. It hovered about 5 minutes.
My uncle and Dad both saw it and we where trying to see if it had a rotor blade or wings. The craft had know wings or blades and didn’t put out any emission. It finally started to move at a very slow pace and it finally got out of our eyesight.
From what I could see the craft was a shining metallic color and had a shape Like a kernel of corn with a point. When it left from hovering the point on the craft was moving forward. ((NUFORC Note: Witness provides no contact information.
PD)).

On September 2nd, my older sister and I were outside at my grandparents' house when we saw the object. My grandparents live in the middle of nowhere in Vaiden, Mississippi. They’re neighbors live at least 10 acres away from them and their house is surrounded by dense woods.
We were outside looking at the stars after having a bonfire. It was about 8:30-9:30 pm and extremely dark outside. We were looking at the sky and my sister suddenly got really quiet and pointed at this object that was very close to us.
It was an oval shape with about 6 lights around the exterior. It flew above the tree line, and moved back and forth in the sky, and eventually took off behind the trees. Some of the lights were blue, orange, and red.
A couple of years earlier, we went to my grandparents house, and we saw the exact same object fly past our car window on the way home at about 9:00 pm. We stood there shocked, especially me because I saw the same object and it left me with the s! ame feeling. I hope this organization can look over this encounter and take this message seriously.
I’ve always been fascinated by extraterrestrials and science, but I truly cannot find an explanation for this occurrence. Please review this information to be used for future cases with UFOs, thank you.

Bright pulsating lights with rotating colors (violet, blue, white). Began appearing 3 months ago in NW Sky, 45 deg or less from horizon. Now there are 5+, all located at same deg from horizon, 4 do not seem to move and seem to make a pattern in sky.
2 in W sky and 2 in E sky. There are 3 evenly-spaced lights (not as bright) running vertically exactly between the 2 in the E sky. Seems to mimic Belt of Orion – Most witnesses tell me, “That is the Big Dipper”.
These 5 lights line up like a cross, exactly evenly spaced with the 2 on either side pulsating brightness w rotating colors. First noticed this pattern one week ago and I am looking every night for last 3 months, so I believe they are increasing in number and communicating with patterns. Arcturus and Serpens, I believe, are located in our E sky at a higher degree.
I have evidence.

I was driving home from a friends house in Hammond, LA. I took the exit off the interstate that would take me 15 minutes to get home. I took that exit at 1145 pm and arrived home shortly after 1 AM.
I remember coming over a hill and seeing what I thought was a very large moon and very bright. I didn't remember anything at the time accept arriving home. I went straight to bed.
((NUFORC Note: Source of report indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD)).

Unknown flying object over Corinth. My friend and I were watching the International Space Station pass over Corinth at 8:34 p.m.
Shortly thereafter, we noticed another star like object in the sky overhead. It continued for some time after the ISS had completely moved out of viewing. At first we thought it might be a star, but it was moving in sweeping circular motions, then darting around eradically, speeding up and then showing down.
When it was not moving, it seemed to be stationary in one spot. It was too far off to see the shape or size, but it was as bright as Jupiter to the south. The GPS coordinates were approximately 34 degrees, 57', 39 " N and 88 degrees, 39', 6" W.

Bright oval shape in sky,seemed to change shapes at times, looked as if some very dark, almost black, rectangle shape came to this oval light. The light would get brighter and fade away at times, taking on a face look. I was amazed.
It disappeared in about an hour. ((NUFORC Note: Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides little contact information. PD)).

Low flying object with no lights or sound. Saw a craft flying low while we were driving down the highway. The craft had no lights.
We could barely see it. It looked almost like the bottom of a boat. We could make out ridges going horizontally across the craft.
We could not hear any noise being made by the craft.

Green oval turns colors, hovers, moves around fast, then disappears. We saw a green oval shape traveling town ward at an angle. It was very bright and hovered.
Too bright. It was listening to us and changed colors every time we spoke. It was too quiet.
It made no noise. It seemed to follow us. We went for our nightly run, and my wife said we were gone over an hour.
It moved too fast when I pulled out my phone. It came down very close a few feet away. Then moved slowly away.
It turned purple and disappeared in thin air. It scared me and my son to death. It went in and out of trees when we turned around.
The neighborhood was eerily silent.

My name is At 19;50/7:50 pm I observed a fire ball Moving thru the air very fast, from almost Due south to Due north. I was standing in the parking lot of the Southaven, Mississippi Library as this happened, my observation was 1-1/2 to 2 seconds as the object disappeared This to me may have been a meteor or a burning left over part of satellite. No other object or unusual thing was seen after this by me.
This concludes my report. Thanks B C.

I was on my way home from a class, and I noticed a large object just north of Countyline Road. Initially, I thought it was an airplane with its headlights on as it turned towards me. However, it turned towards I-55 and hovered just over the trees/buildings off of the interstate.
If I had been closer to the airport, I may not have paid it much attention, but I was miles from the airport for the plane to be that low. I was able to get it on my dash cam and cell phone.

I was passing by Marion Rd in Meridian, Mississippi. As I cross over the intersection, I cross over the first tracks. Something told me to look up, and I did and what I saw zipped across the sky so fast, it was diamond in shape.
The speed was unbelievable, I watched it until it went out of sight. I am baffled and excited at the same time. I never thought I would see any thing like this in my lifetime.
