Silver UAP at approximately 5000ft the swims through the sky in an organic matter way with exhaust trail at faster than speed of sound Hello, My name is ((name deleted)) I work mainly in the creative industry after graduating from New York University, but I do believe I have a higher than average understanding of science and would be considered a credible witness. I am a firm believer in UAPs, I just never thought I'd actually see one. On February 6th, 2024, at 1:33pm, I was in my backyard with my two dogs in Brandon, Mississippi, and closed my eyes for a minute just feeling the unusually warm day.
It was 60ish degrees outside with not a cloud in the sky. I opened my eyes and I see a silver liquid like object with a long bright light trail, swimming downward through the sky like it was a liquid in a fluid but erratic manner. It was highly metallic and the sun was reflecting off it.
If I was standing on the ground and looked up and held out my arms to determine the angle my arms make and I saw it I would have moved across an angle of 60 degrees in 6-7 seconds before disappearing behind the tree-line downward toward the large reservoir I live near. I have gone ahead and marked it as possibly submerged because it did seem to be falling and that was the trajectory it was headed for. I did hear a large boom a few moments later after the object had "fallen" out of view, but I cannot say for certain that they were related.
Otherwise the craft was completely silent as it was within my sight. The main body of the UFO was like a silver molten liquid drop swimming through the air, similar to a silver Italian Horn with the tail thinning out into a metallic light vapor. The closest objects I have been able to find to the type of movement would be organic sperm and a hypersonic highly maneuverable missile.
But the tail of the object was more akin to that of a meteor than an exhaust trail. If it weren't for the erratic movement of the object it would have looked pretty similar to a daylight meteor, but moving much faster. I spoke to the gentleman on the hotline and he said that I should draw a picture relative to the sun of what I saw.
I am a graphic designer, so I took a picture of the sun's position and was able to recreate to the the best of my ability of what I witnessed. I have attached that recreation to this report. I compared how high this object was in the sky to be lower than a helicopter flies, possibly the height that the birds of prey fly at my area, so an estimate of around 5000ft elevation.
The object was about a mile or 2 away from me at the time at my best guess. I have seen many UFO videos and would note that this was considerably lower. I have contacted the news media, neighborhood social media, the local police station, and also left a voicemail on the colonel of the Air National Guard of Mississippi's voicemail box.
As for the question on this form whether or not the animals went silent, notably, it was peculiarly silent as I watched the object and my two dogs, who bark at everything, were not alerted of it at all. The object was also about 6 miles from the Jackson Medgar Wiley Evers International airport. I had seen non transponding military aircraft fly over ahead approximately 15 minutes before the sighting, and had a non transponding helicopter fly over at 1am this night.
I have been keeping an eye on the flight tracker radar because I was curious what kind of very loud planes had been flying over lately. This fact wasn't previously related to UAPs, I genuinely was just curious after a black hawk flew over us recently and I could see it, but when I downloaded the flight tracker it wasn't there. I've looked up everything it could possibly be that is "known" and it doesn't match any of them.
I haven't even found an example video of a UAP that is similar. My recreation doesn't quite capture how metallic the main body was. I wish I had had my phone.
I hope someone else will come foreward with a report. Thank you. Please call if you'd like to talk further.

A separated line of star like images crossing like satellites one after the other with one turning north At approximately 7:41 minutes pm I saw star sized continuous motion lights crossing the sky that appeared from no where and disappeared without crossing the entire sky. There were 8-10 of these crossing in the same line, dissapearing about the same place, with one of these turning north and then disappearing. Attached is a picture of the exact star cluster where I saw these lines of movement.
The red lines indicate the motion of and dissapearance of most, with the blue line indicating one turning north. These were not jets or satellites.

Bright mini sized moon appeared near dusk in the northern sky for about 5 minutes and then zoomed out of sight Greetings, I’m an automation specialist and have been working in the field of electronic technology for over 50 years. I am 70 years old. I have seen a few odd things in the sky in my life but this was the most unusual and unexplained.
I’m reporting this recent sighting because I have seen nothing about it on any news outlet. I was so shocked by what I saw that I thought it would be global news. This is my account of what I saw in the sky on May 3, 2021 in Brandon, Ms.
I was outside in the early evening working on a new front porch addition. I noticed that it was 7:30 pm and looked up to the sky as I was sitting down to see if I could see bats flying overhead. I had noticed bats coming out to eat insects the evening before at that same time and wanted to see if they were out again and they were.
As I was looking to the north, I saw a very bright object. I thought maybe it was Venus because it was so bright and big but it was in the wrong place and this object had an odd flare coming out of one side of it almost like a comet trail but very short. It sort of looked like what you would see if you threw paint ball on a flat surface and it splattered a bit in one direction– round with a few rays and a bit smudged.
When I noticed the flare, I ran inside to get my binoculars and lost a minute or two looking. All I could fine was my oversize pair so I grab them and went back outside. The object was still there and had grown larger but the flare was gone.
I tried to focus on it. My binoculars are very large and hard to handle without a mount but I was able to focus on it and I was shocked into disbelief. I had no idea what I was looking at.
It looked like miniature moon about 3 or 4 time the size of Venus as observed from earth and just as bright. It was bright silver with shaded areas and absolutely round. There was not another light in the sky – no stars, no planets and the sky was still filled with light from the sun as it was setting.
There was a storm rolling in, a tornado watch and the sky was a bit hazy. I doubt that there were many people in my area outside looking up at the time. I put the binoculars down and picked up my phone to bring up my astronomy app to see if I could identify what it was that I was seeing.
As I was fiddling with my phone to bring up the app ( I have to take my case off because it has a magnet on it and that destroys the accuracy of the compass and it doesn’t work for positioning) the object started dimming and shrinking in size as if it was now heading away from my perspective. When I saw it dim, I knew the app wouldn’t recognize this strange object because it was nothing normal about it. I decided to try to get a picture of it before it was gone and I did snap a few pictures before it disappeared but the contrast between the object and the sky was low for a camera because it was still pretty much daylight.
I accidentally took 2 one second videos and they came out better than the pictures. I put the phone down and watched the object as it narrowed down to a point of light and vanished. When the object was heading away it remained perfectly round as shrunk in size and brightness.
In the two short videos you can see the effect of the atmosphere as it distorts the shape of the object. I am an amateur astronomer and I am very familiar with atmospheric distortion and the distortion I see in the videos tells me the object was above our atmosphere. I wish I could have gotten some photos of it when I first saw it because it was much bigger plus it had a flare at first but I was stunned and was kind of wondering if this was doomsday.
My first thought when I saw the object in my binoculars was that something huge was about to hit earth unannounced. It looked like a rouge moon headed directly for us. When it started moving away, I felt relief as it shrunk in size.
I knew that it must be traveling at an extreme speed the way it disappeared. The whole event lasted about 5 minutes. The object pretty much stayed in the same location in the sky and did not jump or dart around.
I didn’t see it come into view – it was just there when I looked up and it only moved a little in position when it took off. There was no sound, no flashing light and the only colors I saw was sliver and gray. Since it was hazy during the observation, I have to question the detail that I saw on the object.
I now assume that maybe I was seeing cloud vapor super imposed on the object and that vapor gave it the darker areas in the disk I viewed that resembled the terrain of the moon. Now my question is – Did anybody else see this object? My guess was that it was an asteroid making a very close fly-by but the news and the astronomy groups are saying nothing about it. It’s seems impossible that no one else noticed it.
It’s a complete mystery to me.

2 strange formations of continuous red-orange, silent craft in the night sky. My family and I observed 2 separate formations of red-orange "aircraft" flying what appeared to be east-northeast tract. The formations exhibited a continuous red-orange color.
I'm former military and civilian and military aircraft typically have flashing lights while flying at night. The first formation were 3 craft that traveled the same east-northeast tract for approximately 5 minutes at different speeds before disappearing in the clouds. The second formation were also 3 craft flying the same tract at different speeds and also disappeared in the clouds.
All 6 craft did not produce any noise. We originally thought the craft were drones; however, drones can not travel that distance without losing signal. These lights were not fireworks as firework lights do not travel that distance and then gain additional altitude after their report.

We saw a Black Sphere moving South at a good rate of speed over Rankin County, just South of the Ross Barnett Reservoir. No sound, no wind. Airport is to the West.
I walked outside and saw it, called my wife and she also saw it just before it went out of sight because of the trees. I first thought it was a balloon, then a noticed that there was NO wind and it was moving. (DID NOT HAVE TIME TO TAKE A PHOTO) observers are (Sales Manager) and (Teacher).

Bluish green object, the size of a dime held at arms length traversing approximately a 10 degree path toward the southwest horizon I witnessed a single object descend behind the distant tree-line moving from approximately 285 degrees to approximately 275 degrees before being lost behind trees. The object was the size of a dime held at arms length and was of a mottled bluish-green color. I observed the object for just a few seconds.
I was moving from the northeast moving toward the southwest and was nothing like the hundreds of shooting stars and satellites I have seen over the years. The differences were primarily the size and color of the object.

Weird blue light over Brandon, MS. We were sitting on back porch and noticed a round blue light that looked like it was falling. But as we were watching it it moved four times from top to bottom behind a tree didn't think much about it until we saw the same thing an hour later it started off by moving in a circle pretty fast then stopped then moved from left to right, then disappeared then came back and just hovered behind the trees about 30 minutes later it came back and went as fast as it came please let me know if anyone has seen this.

The objects were an oval shape lights. The moved in and out of the sky then they started to break off from a bigger light. On 02-23-2009 a friend and I witness some strange lights in the sky.
We were leaving Brandon, MS and on our way back to school in Starkville, MS. The drive is around 110 miles. We were about 15 miles outside of Brandon when I started to see the light.
In my front windshield while I was driving, I started to see two long white objects dot in and out the sky. It was like they were moving in and out the sky or in between the clouds. During this time my friend girl did not notice them because she was busy on the phone.
After about 10 to 15 min. the disappeared from the front windshield. I didn’t want to say anything to my friend about them because I did not want her to think I was crazy.
As soon as she got off the phone she asked me did I see the 4 lights going in and back and forth. They had move to the passenger side of the car. When she said that I started to freak out.
I told her I seen the earlier in the front windshield but it was only 2. She started to hold the steering wheel for me while I look behind me. The were like 4 white bluish light that were oval shape.
They looked an little different in shape when they were in my front windshield. The looked like 2 white bluish lights that were long. At first we thought it might have been a light tower somewhere near by but I knew it wasn’t because I come back and forth on this road at night ever weekend.
The lights trailed us for about 60min or 60 miles outside of Brandon. At one point and time, it looked like we were passing them but the caught back up with us in about 5 min. I believe we would have been able to see them a little better if it wasn’t cloudy.
I knew it wasn’t a light house because as soon as we come in Starkville there is a tower that shines a light that goes around. It was so cloudy that when we made it to Starkville we couldn’t really see the beam the light house was putting out. These light were going in and out of each other.
It seemed like their was a light in the center that the other lights attach from. I believe in UFO’s but I couldn’t believe I seen something like this in real life. My friend girl didn’t even believe in UFO’s but this night made her a believer.
I think it was either some government official stuff or it was the real thing. I’m now scared to leave Brandon at night to go back to school. I think I will be leaving during the day time hours now!!!.

Loud hot air balloon noise heard in the dark of night. I heard a extremely loud sound coming from the NW direction of my house. The sound traveled SE in a matter of minutes and was not heard of again.
The noise sounded like a hot air balloon. I am familiar with hot air ballons because I have traveled in them several times. The sound was as loud as if I was traveling inside the basket.
I ran outside to catch a glimpse of what could be making that noise, but all that was witnessed was a form of a fast moving dark shadow traveling almost invisibly through the faint light in the dark sky. It looked as if the UFO had adapted to its surroundings and became a cloud in the night sky. The only obvious sign that it was not a cloud was the speed of the object traveling farther away, which could not possibly be the cloud that I could see with my naked eyes.
I have had no prior experience with UFO's and would say I am a non-believer. Until, this!.

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.

bright light that appears to be aircraft planning to land but then suddenly changes course and flies in opposite direction like a bulle I was driving home at approx. 23:00 hours and was stopped in the median before turning onto my street off of greenfield rd. in Brandon Ms.
(where new texaco gas station is now located) and just happened to look up into the night sky which was a very clear and beautiful night, and noticed a white fireball. I watched it for about 5 seconds thinking it was an airplane getting ready to land at the nearby airport. It was moving from east to west at what I would consider normal aircraft speed, and then all of a sudden it snapped like it was connected to a large rubberband and flew back toward the east.
I was in the military for 10 years and law enforcement for 6 and I've never seen anything move that fast. It was gone and out of sight within less than a second. It was a real creepy experience.

I lived in Crossgates on the north end of the lake I woke up suddenly, got up out of bed and looked out the glass doors. Just above trees in our backyard (100 feet) there was a single object similar in shape to the famous radio tower in Seattle. The lights were located on the lower part of the craft and were arranged in a circle.
They were white and oval-shaped with pointed ends and came on in a wave fashion. Just before the craft left, the lights turned red and then shut off completely. I do not remember hearing any sound.
But the craft was there one minute, and then was gone the next second. The craft took off towards the south. The date is an approximation, but I remember seeing the object close to my birthday, November 9.
I was 10 years old at the time. It was a very bright clear night, perhaps even a full moon. It was in the early morning hours.
I lived in a subdivision (Crossgates) on the north end of the lake looking from 600 Stonegate Drive.The lake was located just behind my house. I woke up suddenly, got up out of bed and looked out the sliding glass doors that went to our deck.
Just above the old pine trees in our backyard (perhaps 100 feet tall) there was a single object floating stationary in the sky. It was similar in shape to the famous radio tower in Seattle. It had three distinct layers a small flat cylinder (more like a doughnut shape) on either end, with a larger more cylindrical shape in the middle.
The lights were located on the lower part of the craft. The lights were arranged in a circle on the lower part of the craft with no lights in the center. They were oval-shaped with pointed ends.
I remember seeing mostly white lights that came on in a circular pattern. Like a wave in a football game the lights would come on and off. Just before the craft left, the lights turned red all at once rather than in the circular pattern described before and then turned off completely before the craft suddenly took off.
I do not remember hearing any sound. But the craft was there one minute, and then was gone the next second. The craft took off towards the south.
