Saw metallic cylinder shaped object that didn’t move at about 8000 feet in the sky Saw a cylinder shaped metallic object approximately 5000-8000 feet up in the sky. It hung in the air, not moving in any direction. The sun shimmered off the side giving it a metallic sheen.
It had no wings or control surfaces on it. It also did not rise or fall. We watched it for about 5 minutes but had to leave.

I went outside. I always look around. And above the tree line behind my house.
there was a rather large ball of light. Starting from the middle of the sky. It was white and fell to the ground it seemed.
Very bright no sound around at all. It scared me. I still looked trying to figure this all out.
The sky in the same direction seemed to kind of light up. Then I ran inside. But it was too quiet.
Not even a bug could be heard. It was odd. I live close enough to an airport and naval base as well as airforce base but it wasnt a plane 100%.
Can anyone else explain what I saw please?.

Southaven MS triangular UFO I was heading west down a main road during a motorcycle ride. The group had 2 other riders. We were stopped at a light and about to turn North.
As I was riding I noticed a object in the left corner of the horizon. It was very reflective or maybe they were lights, at first I thought it may be a small plane like a Cessna or piper since the sky was very clear today, but the object was barely moving horizontally and it seemed fairly low given I could see the bottom of the object. It was maybe around 6500 to 10,000 ft.
There were altocumulus clouds in the sky and those are usually below 20,000 ft. The object suddenly zipped up vertically at an extremely high rate of speed. Within 3-5 seconds the object was completely gone.
The other riders and I looked at each other in disbelief. We weren’t sure if our eyes were playing tricks on us or if we had seen a ufo or not.

White Tic-Tac object spotted over Gulfport, MS I was driving to work that morning enjoying the early morning sky, I saw what at first I believed to be a Vapor Trail. Being that I live on the gulf coast ,USA near many military bases, NASA research centers and airports I paid no mind. However, as I continued upon my route the object I noticed it was moving in atypical aviation patterns.
I am closely familiar with aviation capabilities (known) and come from a line of pilots and military personnel. This was different from anything I had ever seen. It seemed to change altitude effortlessly with no Trail or heat byproduct behind it.
I observed it flying at an FL of 7-10 feet. It appeared bright white throughout and had a longer body than width an almost looked like cigar with more rounded edges. I did manage to take a short video and 2 photos.
The stability of the video is shaky from driving but clear. The reason I did not think it to be a known aircraft was its ability to change direction laterally with! ease.

Rapid moving craft moved into stationary position seemed to fire something downward then something shot upward towards it. On Sunday, August 2nd of 2020 my wife and I had just returned home from visiting friends in our Jeep. We were putting the doors and top back on the jeep when I noticed an object giving off light moving from the northwest at a decent speed.
The object was silent as it moved across the sky and the reddish orange light it gave off did not pulse. It became stationary due West of my location at approximately 45 to 60 degrees above the horizon. After a short time of being stationary, the object emitted a bluish object or beam downward at an angle of approximately 20 degrees to the North which was moving at an extreme rate of speed similar to a shooting star but it was much tighter focused and did not burn out.
Shortly after the object emitted the beam, a slightly larger bluish beam shot up toward the object from the south at an angle of approximately 75 degrees just missing it. The object made no effort to move or avoid the incoming object. After a short while another object passed below my line of sight of the original object.
It moved horizontally as a fast moving beam of red light. The original object remained in the sky as if just another star in the sky for the remainder of my viewing. It was getting late at this point and I returned indoors.

Multiple small, white and blue orbs gather in a large tree nearby after i flashing my light toward where i seen the first orb. I noticed small white flashes above my yard as I grilled. Shortly after, I saw a blue, three strobe orb fly a few feet above my house.
I was completely shocked because I knew instantly that it was nothing I had seen before. As I stood there flipping my burgers, thinking about what i had just seen I had an idea. I had my flashlight on my phone on, so I flashed my light 3 times up in the sky like whatever I had just seen fly overhead.
Nothing happened the first time but when i done it again the thing came back around. This time it parked and hovered in a very tall tree not far from my house. It wasn't flashing anymore but a constant dim blue light slowly weaving through the branches of this very large tree.
As I continued flashing my light in flashes of three, I began to see 2 other small white lights in the same tree as the blue orb. They made no sound at all. Couldn't of been a drone because it was in this large oaktree, moving around in the dense leaves.
They looked sort of like fireflies but there are no fireflies out yet. It was at about this time my wife came out and I filled her in. I tried repeatedly to get the lights to flash again but nothing.
But sure enough as I was about to give up, all three lights began to move and light up! So my wife seen these lights and I knew this was something that was really there, maybe 100 yards from my house hanging in this very large tree. Doing what? I have no clue. But after she saw the lights she became frightened and she made me quit communicating with my light and go inside.
This was the first time I have experienced anything like this, ever.

I witnessed 3 floating objects displaying flash a red the orange hue. I fists believed to be aircraft of military maybe due to the horizontal movement and flash of lights , then the first light began to strink and disappea , the other two followed. This led me to think well maybe these are oddly 3 falling stars in rare motion, so I began to make wishes upon then appeared two more floating horizontal and they strunk then disappeared, trees and a light pole restricted my view of were this was coming from in the sky , the boom the brightest and last one appeared and followed the others.
This left me baffled, I am not one to look up ufo info nor have I ever encountered such, I searched the internet and was led to extraterrestrial information which led me here. I don't know if what I witnessed was a natural cause but I feel the need to report this just in case someone else caught it too.

100+ round lights traveling NE one after the other 100+ round lights traveling Northeast one after the other. Not aircraft, no noise was made. This happened for about an hour and is still occurring.
Too fast to be aircraft, too slow to be meteors and definitely followed the same path of travel.

A Fleet Of Silent White Glowing Orbs Traveling In An Even Straight Line For 5-10 Minutes. I was standing outside in my front driveway and was on the phone talking to an associate around 9pm. I looked up to the brightest star in the sky which could have been either the north star or Sirius, I am not sure, but I noticed a quiet bright white light traveling at a steady pace from west to north east.
I then noticed that 3 seconds later at an even distance another light followed behind the first light in the same exact path. Then 3 seconds later another appeared, then 3 seconds later another light appeared following the others in the exact same path, the exact same distance and speed as the others. I told my associate and he laughed and said he believes me because he has seen things like that before, so I asked him to let me call him back.
I called my mother outside to look at them, and she was able to see them from a far away distance beneficially for here because she had laser eye surgery which make her able to see better far away but not so close. ! She was freaked out at them but shocked and wanted to take pictures. I tried to shoot video and take photos with our iphones, but the lighting and aperture was so dark that everything looked unclear and distorted.
She and I knew they were not from this earth. She was able to see 4 of last UFO's passing through before we noticed that no more were to be seen at this location. There was no sound the whole time.
I listened for helicopter blades and airplane engines and heard no sound. This siting went on for about 5-10 minutes. I was told this is called a fleet of UFO's.
They were all just one behind each other the same distance apart as a train and its following cars.very cool but very scary.
