Changing shaper with multicolored lights. There is a changing lighted object at 107 Degrees east at about a 40 degree angle. Looking from Cantin, MS.
With binoculars it looked like an amoeba changing shapes. Earlier it had bright multi-colored lights. 12/13/2014 at 9:14 PM.
What is it? It is still there. ((NUFORC Note: Possible sighting of Sirius?? PD)).
Full Report Text:
what appeared to be a twinkling star moved quickly up at a 45 degrees then stopped and became fixed and did not move thereafter I was walking out to get the morning paper at 6:10 a.m., and something caught my eye in the southwestern sky, near the horizon.
It was dark and the stars were shining brightly. I saw two things: the first was clearly a jet airplane, very small and moving near the horizon in a southernly direction, but with the blinking lights there was no question it was a jet. I then saw what I first thought was a "shooting star" to the west of the jet, but it was moving in a north westerly direction--kind of at a 45 degree angle--moving UP, not down.
But it did not dissipate like a shooting star, it just kept moving upwards at a 45 degree angle at a high rate of speed for somthing that small. It looked just like a twinkling star--similar to those in the sky around it--not like the far off jet I had already seen. It continued to move up in the western sky, then slowed and stopped.
It looked just like the other twinkling stars in the sky. Then it just stayed t! here, fixed. I thought it must be another jet that had ascended then turned either away from me, or towards me, and would either grow larger or disappear, as planes at night do.
But it did neither. It just stayed there with the same twinkling intensity for about 5 minutes. I got tired of looking at and came inside.
This twinkling thing was probably a jet, but I've never seen one just hang in the sky and not move at all.

ufo - 2 big white lights - Mississippi Me and my friend were going down the road when i jokingly said look a ufo. Not registering that it was something like i have never seen before. He laughed and then stopped and looked confused.
It moved fairly slow but slower than an airplane or helicopter at this height. It was heading over the trees to the right of us with 2 big white lights. Not regular sized lights but lights so big that they do not exist on this earth.
It headed over the road and stopped to the left in the sky no more than a 1000 ft. high. It completely stopped moving when we stopped to check it out.
When we completely stopped the bright white lights tured into two red lights with a yellow light in the middle. It was too dark to see because the light just overpowed the view of any object behind it. After ten secods it disappeared.
((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous. PD)).

fast light in the sky this object was at an altitude "guessing" 400,000 feet. it would shoot due north and reappear from due south in about 2 seconds. would make an perfect triangle.
then would be stationary for a few seconds. at this point would shoot due west and appear from the east in roughly the same time. it would then make a triangle again in the opposite direction from the one before.
it would repeat this in every compass direction until it had gone through the pattern of making a box with the 4 triangles. was rather interesting. have no clue as to what it was but interesting… ((NUFORC Note: We have requested more information from the witness, but have heard nothing back.
We suspect that the date may be approximate, if in fact the report is a serious one. PD)).
