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.

Turned on to Red Hill Circle from Terry Rd. headed east and saw what I thought at first was a plane except that it appeared to have more red lights than usual. As I watched it move from north to south it looked like a chevron shape at one point with 3 red lights making up one chevron and 3 on the other.
I tried to follow and get a better look but I lost sight of it and drove around trying to see it again but no luck. I have a privates pilots license and am very familiar with airplanes. While I can't say with certainty it wasn't a plane, because it happened so fast, it certainly looked different.
Very curious if anyone else in South Jackson saw it.

I was on my way home from a class, and I noticed a large object just north of Countyline Road. Initially, I thought it was an airplane with its headlights on as it turned towards me. However, it turned towards I-55 and hovered just over the trees/buildings off of the interstate.
If I had been closer to the airport, I may not have paid it much attention, but I was miles from the airport for the plane to be that low. I was able to get it on my dash cam and cell phone.

I saw one small flash of light then a reddish looking fireball that shot across the sky then disappeared then same a similar one after. I was standing outside on my front porch watching the stars when I see some move quickly out of the corner of my eye. When I turned my head to see what it was, I saw a sudden flash of light and a red fireball shaped "unknown" zip through the sky then disappear.
Moments after that I saw a second "unknown" move through the sky but this time it had a yellowish tint to it. I do believe that we as humans are not the only intelligent life form on the galaxy and believe that there is extraterrestrial life forms out there. Whatever it was that I saw tonight wasn't the first time that I've seen it and to be perfectly honest it creeped me out because if I can see "them" from earth then I know they can see me from wherever they are up there.

Saw triangle moving slowly amongst the stars. I didn't know what I was looking at because at first glance it looked like a constellation but then as I watched it I noticed that it was moving at a slower doped than everything else with the earths rotation. It was in the shape of a triangle and had a bluish tint to it and after it watching it for about 20 minutes, it disappeared and a whitish/blue "unknown" in the shape of a fireball appeared and then disappeared.
Again, I believe in Extraterrestrials and are curious about it but to see something like this with your own eyes is very creepy.

Square object in the daytime sky hovering I was walking out to my car from the office and looked up at the sky because there were no clouds, it was around 12:30 PM. I saw some birds flying overhead then noticed further away a dark object just hovering. It looked square, no wings.
It was not a helicopter. There was no sound. I got into my car and watched it as I pulled out of the parking lot, then it just vanished.
It appeared to be higher up than where helicopters fly. It was not balloons. The color of it was a dark gray.
I was on Ridgewood Court when I saw it.

Bright light over the Jackson area As I was driving home during rush hour and heading east on I-20 near Ellis Ave., I noticed a very, very bright (it was the brightest white light I've ever seen that wasn't a comet/meteor/etc.)large object hanging in the night sky towards the northeast.
I thought it had something to do with Jupiter and Venus lining up, but I could see that to the southwest. I could see the object most of the way home but lost it once I turned off the interstate. About 15 minutes later, I was turning down the street where I live and the object was still in the sky but had changed intensity (it looked more like a streetlight hanging over the treeline at this point).
I have no idea what it could have been, but I know it wasn't a planet/star that I'm familiar with. This is the third sighting I've had in about as many weeks, and the other two objects remind me of this one, too.

Disk over downtown Jackson, Mississippi on a clear sunny day Wowzers! I was checking the WAPT TV weather cam and saw this UFO! I had saved the two pics but unfortunately you can't do that with a webcam shot without it automatically refreshing itself. :o( At least not this webcam. I have already contacted the station to see if they have the still shots by any chance.
At any rate, at 12:15 P.M., central/standard time there was a silver disk over Jackson, MS, just to the left of the Standard Life Building (the tallest building in the pic) and about midway up.
I'm just really disappointed about this!!! In both of the pics, however, the second one was a refreshed shot with the time labeled at 12:21 P.M., so just minutes later.
and in the second pic at 12:21 it was GONE! It is a gorgeous, sunny, clear day and not a cloud in the sky today and no rain whatsoever!!! So this can't be due or rain, etc.!.

Three lights in a triangular white ligt formation without red flashing lights moving east to west making no sound. Jackson, Mississippi near the intersection of North State Street and Presto Lane, It was a moonless sky before sunrise. At least I do not remember seeing the moon.
Three white or yellowish white lights moving west to east in a triangular formation at an undeterminable altitude and velocity. There was no red flashing red light that is typically seen with aircraft at night nor was there a sound of a jet or propellor engine nor was there the choping sound of the rotary blades of a Heilocopter. There was no apparent sound.
The light formation was close enough so that if I extended my hand that the two outer lights cuold just be seen on th eouter edge of my index finger. The lack of red flashing lights is what captured my attention and inclined me to get a better look. I was indoors when I first saw it but I went out doors within less than a min of first seeing it and watched it move west disappearing into the western sky.
When I got out doors It was still colse enough to still clearly make out three lights. severall mins later I saw an airplane moving in exactly the opposite direction with the typical red flashing ligt and propellor engine sound. ((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate.
PD)).

I am sending this in order to correct some errors in my previous entry of 3/4/2004. Three lights in a triangular white light formation without red flashing lights moving slowly from the west to the east making no sound. It was in Jackson, Mississippi near the intersection of North State Street and Presto Lane.
It was a moonless sky before sunrise. At least I do not remember seeing the moon. I saw three white or yellowish white lights moving slowly from the west to the east in a triangular formation at an undeterminable altitude and velocity.
I assumed that these lights were all part of one object because they did not move in relation to each other (their triangular pattern remained stable). There was no red flashing red light that is typically seen with aircraft at night nor was there a sound of a jet or propeller engine nor was there the chopping sound of the rotary blades of a helicopter. There was no apparent sound at all.
The light formation was close enough so that if I extended my hand that the two outer lights could just be seen on either side of my index finger. The lack of red flashing lights is what captured my attention and inclined me to get a better look. I was indoors when I first saw it but I went out doors within less than a minute of first seeing it and watched it move east disappearing into the eastern sky.
When I got out doors it was still close enough to still clearly make out three lights. Several minuets later as the sun was coming up I saw an airplane moving in exactly the opposite direction with the typical red flashing light and propeller engine sound. I assume it could be some type of military air craft.

green light moving at high rate of speed Driving eastbound on I20 about 13 miles from Jackson, Mississippi at approximately 10 pm. Saw a bright green light about the size of a penny at arms lenght at it's largest moving in a east north east direction at a high rate of speed. Light moved in a direct line across the sky from directly above to the horizon appearing to dispappear from view, not go out.
Total duration for light to travel this distance was approximately 2 seconds. Appeared too low and too slow to be a meteor, but too high and too fast to be a conventional aircraft. No other light other than green.

A light brighter than Venus, moving in an 'S' pattern, fades into the darkness of the southern sky. I was out watering my plants the evening of Sept. 27th, when I noticed a bright light in the southern sky.
It was a few degrees brighter than Venus when I first noticed it. Moving diagonally downward toward the west, it began to lose intensity. I thought it was a shooting star at first, but then before it lost all of its light, it curved upwards and diminished.
I put the hose down and kept my eyes on the spot from which I had last seen it. Then, approximately 5 seconds later, it reappeared as a faded point and increased in brightness until it was again the intensity I had first seen. Its path was again in the shape of an 'S' lying on its side.
As it curved upward and began to lose its brightness, I noticed a halo around the dimming spot. It almost looked like an object at this point, (as opposed to a star radiating light). It then disappeared and I saw nothing more.
I observe the sky a lot, and I don't have an explainaion for it. I told a friend on Saturday about what I had seen, and he mentioned hearing of a reported sighting on the Thursday night 10:00 local news. I didn't see the report myself, so I'm afraid the only facts I have are listed above.
If there is any information on this event, I would like to find out more.

Heavenly object spotted near Jackson, Miss. I was traveling east on I20. Right at dusk, about 30 miles west of Jackson, I saw a beautiful circular (front) object just below the top of my winshield and pretty much over the midddle of the interstate.
I would estimate it was at about 300-400 ft. There was a white star on top (lit up) and 2 colored lights on the bottom. These top & bottom lights both extended away from the circular gold surface The size was about that of a full moon.
I could not tell its speed as I was doing about 75 mph, but it did not appear to be moving fast if at all. As I passed under it, the body seemed to appear much like that of a blimp or fat cigar. I did not notice the usual pointed nose in front however.
The most unusual thing was the body; it was glittering gold and the surface looked like fish scales.

Four spherical objects, three traveling in an equilateral triangle formation fourth tailing behind and off to the right I was standing on my grandparents' patio, smoking a cigarette before retiring for the evening. I didn't give much thought to seeing a shooting star, as I have seen many before. Suddenly, some motion in the sky to my left and towards the front of the house caught my eye.
As there is a streetlight there I could not quite see clearly with the artificial light as four sphere shaped objects came into view. Once they were above me I could see them against the background of the clear night sky without the contaminating light from the street. Three of the objects were traveling in a tight, equilateral triangle formation, as the fourth traveled behind and perhaps two to three times the distance between the objects in the triangle formation.
I am an empirical person, and I attempted to explain away to myself these objects as something else, but found that I could not as I watched them until they disappeared over the trees. I can not be sure what the altitude of these objects was, but they seemed to be fairly close to the earth. Due to the fact that they were only visible to me (from horizon to horizon) for about 5-10 seconds, I tend to think that these objects were traveling at a fairly low altitude.
These objects emanated a slightly bluish-white aura, yet also appeared to have a dull, metallic appearance to them that seemed to reflect light coming from the earth rather than emitting any themselves. They did not appear to be all that large. I watched closely to see if there would be any variance in the symmetry of the triangle formation and noticed none, except for the fact that the triangle seemed to "flatten," maintaining the perfect equilateral formation yet appearing the way that it should have relative to my viewpoint.
