Full Report Text:
Triangle, about 20-25 ft sides. Moved slowly ( 20-35 mph). No sound.
Red light on bottom in middle. Really bright white light on front Was about 6:45pm cause I was going to Jiu Jitsu practice. Was still light outside but sun was going down.
Saw bright light coming toward me as I drove west on I-20. As I got close to my exit I pulled off exit and stopped. The light was still coming down I-20 at bout 500 ft or so.
It was still approaching and also coming down in altitude. Couldn’t see craft yet cause white light on front was so bright. Then it slowly veered off I-20 and over Tractor Supply.
It was pretty low now. About 100-150 ft. Came across Springridge Rd headed toward and over Home Depot and continued East staying parallel to I-20.
When it passed over Springridge road it was the closest to me and I got a pretty good look. It was gray in color. ( like the color of most fighter jets, that flat grey color.
) it wasn’t very big probably about 20-25 ft down each side of triangle. It was moving slow. 20-35mph.
Made no noise that I could hear. No obvious signs of propulsion. Had 2 lights.
One red blinking light on bottom in middle and a really bright light on leading point of triangle ( I guess that would be the front). Honestly the craft looked man made, but it was doing things that man made craft “shouldn’t” be able to do. Anyway.
It just slowly kept going down Side I-20 till it finally gained altitude and eventually went out of sight. It never changed speeds as far as I could tell. It did change altitude though.
As it got close to busy intersection it came in low then after the intersection it gained altitude again. It’s as if it needed a closer look or something or wanted to be seen. Thats bout it.
I have told several people bout it but I never thought about reporting it untill I came across this site. Sorry for not having more accurate time of sighting but I did tell things above the best that I can recall. Thanks from Terry, Ms.

Just seen a fireball in the sky I thought at first it was a plane going down. But then realized I had just seen my first real meteor falling to earth. It was the coolest thing ever.
I've seen shooting stars, but never a meteor with fire behind it. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. Possible meteor? PD)).

THIS IS NOT JUPITER I was showing my grandkids orion and jupiter, when I noticed a star further to the east of Jupiter and more behind my house. We went out back to gaze at it and as I zoomed in on it, it turned out to be a cross with one big light in the middle, four lights horizonal, two on each side of big light and four lights vertical, to at the top and two at the bottom. There were also lights on the inside angles of the cross that extended out to the edges.
The lights were stationary, fixed, and they pulsated IT WAS CLEARLY NOT JUPITER although I saw it at the same time too. Also checked stellarium. I called the hotline as I was recording the sighting.
I don't know what it was, but it went from 10,000 to 30,000 ft. as I watched and recorded it for an hour. Have vid! Not there tonight 11/25/12, 8:47PM ((NUFORC Note: Possible sighting of Sirius?? PD)).

UFO"s are real but MUFON is not My first sighting was on Oct. 16, 2011, as well as Nov. 2 of a white flashing light high in the sky that stops flashing white and starts flashing red, blue, and green.
As I was taping it tonight my granddaughter alerted me to a small star very high in the sky that was moving in a figure eight pattern. It was obvious that it was not a star by the wide pattern of movement. I know this will go no where with MUFON or NUFORC, but I want others to know that they are alone in seeing the unknown lights in the sky.
I have videos but I won't bother uploading because no one will contact me. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. We have no way to contact the source of the report.

On Tuesday night, Nov. 2, at 11:45 p.m.
, I was outside with my sister looking in her trunk and as we closed the trunk we noticed a light flashing in the night sky. It was going southwest and very high in the sky. I went to get my camera that I keep pluged up I unpluged it, turned it on and returned outside.
As I pointed at the light my camera beeped and went dead. We continued to watch the light as it changed onto an circle of lights blinking red,blue, and white. Then it just disappeared.
This is the second time I've seen this circle of colored lights, an third time seeing the blinking light that starts before the color lights. Sending video from Oct. 16, 2011 Filed report on Oct.
23, 2011 "morphing white blinking light that turn into circle of colored lights".

morphing white blinking light that turn into circle of colored lights Because I am an avid sky watcher, I alway's keep my camera by the front door. On this night I'd gone out to walk my dad's nurse to her car and as she walked she looked up and said "that is not an airplane". So I looked up and saw a white blinking light jumping forward, sideways, backward and forward again.
I ran to get my camera and I taped this light for about one minute before it began to appear as a circle of lights that blinked red/blue/green and white, then change back and forth to one white blinking light to the circle coolored lights. I played the sighting on my 60" wide screen and OMG! Can send video.

Jet and object flying side by side While working on building a patio in my backyard, I could hear the sound of a Jet passing over going NE, but it was taking a long time to go over so I looked up and saw a JET in the sky with two contrails behind it, with a smaller object directly beside it with a single trail that evaporated quickly. They were side by side, moving as if the Jet was trying to move away. They curved around several times as other planes(3) with two contrails showed up from all directions.
I have this on video. The sky in Clinton,MS is a gold mine for sky watching and sightings. TRUST ME! Can't upload yet, granddaughter had'nt showed me how.
But Iam willing to turn over video evidence!!!!!!.

On-going UFO sightings It all started the night that my mother, sister, and I came home from my sister's Christmas program back in 1992 or so. We had left the local coliseum and were heading home around 9PM. We were headed east on a road that runs behind a cemetery and is only a half mile or so from our home.
I happened to look south out over the trees and see this huge triangle moving just above the treetops. It was 100' in length, black, four light (three white ones on each of the corners and a blue colored one in the center), and it moved slowly and silently. We came to a complete stop to watch it.
It was odd because the next thing we realized it was moving away from us in a SW direction. In the short distance to our home we never discussed it. And when we got inside our house it was around 11 PM or so.
I seriously doubt it took two hours to drive a half mile. The reason I tell this is because over the years we've seen the object(s) more than once. Sometimes it hovers and at other times it will disappear in, what seems like, a blink of an eye.
Not too long after the above incident my mother and sister were coming home from Wal-Mart and saw it again. They said they only saw it for about five seconds but as soon as my sister saw it her mouth broke out in small blisters almost like ulcers. Like I said, we've seen it many times over the years, plus other kinds of UFO's, but the last time we saw it was around the beginning of this summer, about the middle of June.
This time it was my sister and me, I was driving, coming home from a friend's house, probably around 8 or 9 PM, and there was one over the cemetery again. This time we decided to follow it. As we neared the cemetery, heading east, the object started to move off at a high rate of speed, to the NE.
I turned down another street heading N, which has a school, I stopped in the middle of the road because we could see that there were two other objects, like the triangle, forming a larger triangle. I started to go forward again and this time all three disappeared in maybe two seconds. As I stated, we've seen many kinds of UFO's.
The triangle, sphere's, cigar-shapped ones, lights that just hovered, and so on. We've also become accustomed to having bruises we can't explain,my sister's mysterious ulcers, blood on our bed sheets and pillow cases, and blood on our clothes. I also know that one night I had a very vivid dream about being in the middle of some woods and seeing a UFO above me and when I woke up there were dead leaves in my bed that weren't there the night before.
((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate. We will attempt to put the witnesses in touch with a local investigator. PD)).

Triangular object seen twice within one hour, in a city area, 4 witnesses. At approximately 10:08PM CST, me,my friend, and my 2 cousins were traveling down Morrison Drive heading North, I looked at the tree line and spotted a flying triangular object, with what appeared to be 3 white lights in the front but as it passed over it i observed that there was a light on each corner of the triangle and the two on the back were shining forward in bright intensity as to cast a beam of light straight ahead. There was also a smaller, less bright light on the back between the two bright ones, and one red in the middle.
I called the attention on everyone in the car, I screamed "stop the car" we all saw the object as it was hovering then sped off SW then disappearing, it was then 10:10 PM. It was about 100 ft. or higher in the sky.
The sky was clear, no clouds, and no visible stars. I am a ammature ufo researcher, I read about them in my spare time, This is the first absolute clear image i have ever seen. My friend, Jennifer, is not a real believer in any paranormal.
One cousin, Courtney, WAS a straight skeptic until last night. and my other cousin, Kristin, was neither believer nor skeptic. At about 10:45-10:50, we were at my house, when we decided we had better draw what we had seen while it was fresh on our mind.
Kristin was in my room, she screamed she heard something above the house we ran outside just in time to see it take off from over our house heading straight SW again. I am positive it was the same object, I live less than one mile from where the first sighting was spotted.

Green fireball seen shooting up from the ground I have been so long in reporting this because it didn't occur to me to do so until I got on this site and saw other descriptions of a fireball such as I saw. I'm a natural skeptic thatI would actually see something like this, so I tried to think of what it could have possibly been other than a UFO. I wanted to think it was a meteor or something.
except that it was going the wrong direction! I thought that was something other people could witness, but not me. A friend and I had gone to an AA meeting and were on the way home. I'm not sure of the exact time.
somewhere between 11:00 pm and 12:00 pm. We were driving north and came to a stop light. Over to my left (in the west) and a good distance away, I saw a very large "fireball" shoot up from the ground (or from behind some trees.
hard to tell)and straight up into the air, heading slightly to the north. It was green.as you would imagine green light would look in front of a black back drop, somewhat varied in brightness.
When I first saw it at its largest state (just after leaving the ground) the color was very intense and bright.then the further it went, it became dimmer and less saturated. It appeared and disappeared within the span of 3-5 seconds.
I turned to my friend and asked him if he had seen it too. He said he had. I think that was a relief to both of us.
to know we weren't hallucinating!.

Trinagular Object The reason it has taken me so long to report this incident is that, quite frankly, I didn't know it could be reported. My mother, sister, and myself were returning from my sister's Christmas program. We were headed east from town and were near the cemetary.
We looked south and saw a large triangular shaped object. It was moving slowly and silently above the tree tops. It appeared to be about one hundred feet in length.
The object was black and had three white lights on it-one on each corner. It had a bluish light in the center. We slowed down to watch it as it moved towards the southwest.
We apparently experienced missing time because when we got home it was almost 11:00 PM. That means it would have taken us 2 hours to go a distance of half a mile.

A colorful ring of lights hovering over someones house, then it moved away making no sound over the trees. I was in Clinton Ms. standing outside a friends house in her driveway talking.
We were in a residential neighborhood.It was dark out. About 8:00pm.
There were houses accross the street from us. Very close. While chatting with my friend i looked accross the street.
And i glanced up, up above a house accross the street. There were tall trees directly behind this house. And what i saw was a ring of lights in a circle.
It was very large, bigger than a couple houses put together. The lights were different colors, they were very bright alsmost glowing. They were in a horizontal plane above this house, just sitting there.
And i said what the heck is that, well putting it nicely. My friend said i dont know. I said thats not normally there, and she said no.
And i said its not making any sound. It was close enough we should have heard some sort of noise . I mean it was directly accross the street from us.
I said well it cant be a balloon becuase a balloon would have fire, and would not be out at night anyway. Then all of the sudden it started moving. It was almost directly over the house accross the street from us, and directly above the trees.
It started moving away from us. There was no sound. It was so strange.
Anything that big, should have made noises, and that close. It did not move up it went sideways , horzontally. Away from us.
Almost as if it knew we were looking at it. Before it moved it was just sitting there above the trees, then it just started moving , away from us. So i said lets get in the car and chase it , and get another look, but by the time we went around the block , it was gone.
I thought about calling the police, but said noone would believe us. So ive only told a few people about this, and most people say they believe me. Scince this happened to me, im always watching the skys.
Hoping to see something again. I feel very lucky to have seen this thing, just wish i had a camera, but its forever etched in my mind. ((NUFORC Note: Date may be approximate, although the witness does not indicate that fact.
PD)).
Full Report Text:
I was visiting a friend in Clinton ms. We walked outside in the driveway. Looked across the street.
Then saw a ring of lights hovering over someone’s house. It was at night but it looked disc shaped. The ring of lights was around the outer part of the craft.
The center was dark. The lights were multi colored lights. Red, blue, yellow lights from what I can remember.
The strange thing was it made no sound. I asked her, my friend what the heck is that. I said is that usually there.
She said no. Then as if it saw us. At that moment it started moving away from us.
It never went up. We could see the lights through the trees as it moved away from us til it disappeared. I said let’s get in the car and try to see it again.
We rode around couldn’t see it anymore. I thought about calling police reporting it but figured they wouldn’t believe us. Since then I’ve always watched the sky’s but haven’t seen anything else like it.
It’s forever etched in mind.
