All Reported UFO Sightings in Batesville, Mississippi

Full Report Text:

Hello,I live in Batesville, Mississippi on Farrish Gravel Road. At about 4:00PM I was walking my dog and I glanced at some lights in the sky but didn't pay them any mind because there are street lights that can be seen behind some trees. About 10 minutes later I looked up to see that the lights were closer than before when I left the house as well as higher in the sky.

When I started to look at the lights I noticed that there were 3 lights in a triangular shape at the bottom of base I guess you could call it, with another single light at the top. I then noticed that there was a weird shape sort of like a pyramid and that the lights were part of an object and not separate lights. I can't really determine the size but it was flying lower than an airplane and was still about the size of my thumb if I held it out in front of me.

There weren't any distinguishable colors of the shape other than a sort of hazy looking transparency. The lights were orangish yellow. But I looked at the object for maybe 10 minutes until it got too far me to see.

The direction it was going was straight up when it got out of sight. That is all I can recall and it's pretty exact on what happened.

UFO seen trailing Aircraft On the evening of July 4th, 2014, I was sitting on the steps to our home, when I noticed a jet coming across the sky. The time was around 8:16 PM (I made a point to look at my watch). I watched the jet and the small white traill of condensation left behind it.

It was extremely clear outside and I seen the jet coming along ways before it finallly passed over. The direction it flew from was WSW to NE. Illustrationally speaking for a mental image, a flight path from Dallas, Texas, to New York City.

As the jet neared closer, I noticed an odd object behind it. I didn't think much of it until it got closer. The jet didn't pass directly over me, it probably was (roughly) an eighth of a mile South.

As it got closer to passing over, I noticed the object trailing about (roughly) a half mile behind it, on the exact same path, flying at about the same speed. I was in T- Total shock! I watched both the jet and then the silver/grey disk-shaped object fly of towards the North-East. Nothing abnormal happened, no erratic movements, no lights, and no sound.

By the time they were out of sight, my watch read 8:22 PM. The disc was about 3/4s the size of the jet, including wingspan. Nothing very outstanding was noticed, other than it appeared seamless.

Also, it appeared at a slightly higher altitude than the jet. It's worth noting that this is the THIRD UFO visualization I've had since moving to Batesville a few years ago, but the first daytime/evening visualization. The previous two occurred at night after 10PM.

I have got mysterious lights on video both times previously. Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera where I could put my hands on it, and did not want to move from watching the phenomenon before me.

Mysterious Lights seen over field; Caught on Video. Approx. 2 miles off of Interstate 55 and exit 246 ("North Batesville"), numerous unidentified flying objects were seen.

Me and my Father were outside, and upon looking to the North (directly North), we noticed multiple lights over a vast field on the North side of Highway 35. We immediately got our video camera and prepared to take video. By the time we cut the camera on, and then got back outside to bein filming, the object(s) started moving.

They seem intelligent, as they began to span out as we started recording from our backyard. The objects move extremely fast and are much larger than an airplane. The Panola County Airport is down the road a small distance and we see airplanes and helicopters all the time--- This was neither.

I have no knowledge of any aircraft that can go from a dead stand-still and move a couple miles within seconds. And the G-Force would be unbearable, in my eyes. The objects also can stop on a dime and begin traveling in the opposite direction.

They are some form of intelligence. After getting a couple of video clips, the objects slowly vanished one by one. They seemed to, flash and burn off.

It was at one point four different lights visible, all of which appear (through camera and binoculars) to blink a red, white, green/blue pattern. The lights seem to move independently. In addition, at the beginning of filming, we noticed a motor vehicle driver was stopped, facing North, on a road meeting Highway 35.

I believe he/she observed the lights also, but after a few moments, they left the scene going Westbound on Highway 35 towards Interstate 55. Last year near this time, we experienced the same lights, and their was atleast 4 witnesses at that point. We were unable to capture video last year, and are and were shocked we captured the clips this year.

I'm not sure why the river and Sardis Lake seems to be a hot spot, but its obviously a lot of activity, from personal experience and from reading others reports after this event. Other notes.: There was no, I repeat NO noise from these objects.

And no traffic on the Highway, other than the one driver who came from a nearby road. I cannot explain any of this. But I know what I saw, and so does my Father.

And if you do not believe me, my video will prove, if nothing else, what we seen. But, our video nor my testimony can completely concrete what exactly was seen. It is vast possibilities, but low probabilities of anything other than, an extra-terrestrial of some sort.

Diamond shaped, lighted objects hovering near microwave tower. Date is approximate. We first witnessed a diamond shaped craft hovering very close to a tall microwave tower east of Batesville, Mississippi.

Viewing it through binoculars, I was able to make out an array of red, green, blue, and yellow lights that seemed to be pulsing more than flashing. After a few minutes, the object was joined by a second one, which also hovered near the tower for a while. They then accelerated east across the sky at a speed faster than anything I’ve ever witnessed.

I would estimate they flew from one end of the sky to the other in less than two or three seconds. I waited outside, hoping and, oddly, expecting, that they would return, and a couple hours later, three of them appeared from the east, as quickly as the first two had exited in that direction, and stopped suddenly near the tower again, hovering for a while before returning east. I’ve thought about this event many times since then, and I’ve remembered it in great detail.

One thing that would help pinpoint the date is the fact that the weather report on the 10:00 PM news of Memphis station WMC mentioned “a lot of UFO sightings around the mid south tonight”. I’ve tried to find transcripts of the news and haven’t had any luck. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Thanks for the follow up.

The sighting state was actually Mississippi, and I live in Oregon now. It’s possible I mistyped in the form, so my apologies. I’ll get back to you if I remember more, but one thing that I’ll note is that it was dark when I first saw them, and I remember being outside for three hours.

The news aired at 10:00 PM, so sunset that day was quite early (before 7). This would indicate a winter month, and I’m thinking probably January or February of 1992. Thanks again!.

Shiny Silver Sphere seen for about 10 minutes in rural North Mississippi circa 1975 It was around October 1975 in rural North Mississippi, four miles north of Batesville. I was 16 years old at the time and was walking along the edge of a soybean field with my trusty .22 rifle squirrel hunting.

I heard a very loud high pitched buzzing sound (like a cicada in the trees--which it may have been) but then everything was silent--even the birds. I looked up over my shoulder and saw a silver sphere just hovering about 300 feet above the ground and 1/4 mile away. It just stayed there.

I thought, "hey look, a weather balloon." but there wasn't anything hanging from the bottom. Not a weather balloon.

No gondola, so it also wasn't a hot air balloon either. It was just there hovering silently. Here's where I acted like a typical teenager.

The .22 had a scope on it, so I looked at the sphere through the scope--looked like a shiny silver ball. I decided, "what the heck" I squeezed off a shot thinking if it was a balloon, I would be able to retrieve it.

It hovered for a few seconds more then slowly drifted up and out of sight. There were cumulus clouds in the sky that day and the sphere was going along the edge of them rising in a slightly erratic fashion. But I was able to keep it in sight while it rose due to the contrast of the white clouds.

The thing that still makes me wonder to this day is how readily I accepted what I saw and how I felt no alarm ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that date of incident is approximate. PD)).
