All Reported UFO Sightings in Meridian, Mississippi

Full Report Text:

Triangular shape with lights underneath flew over the highway as my family and I drove under it. We were on I-20 outside of Meridian. My family and I were driving on Interstate 20 heading East.

We were west outside Meridian, Mississippi. I noticed something flying towards our direction and I asked my wife, “Is that a UFO?”, then I exclaimed “It is!”. My wife saw the object as well as both of my daughters.

It was triangular in shape with triangular shaped lights out lining half of the larger triangle with red and blueish lights. The lights were moving in an outlining direction. On the back of the large triangle were two large round lights at either end.

It flew from north to south over the highway and we watched it fly a considerable distance until we couldn’t see it anymore. This was an experience I shall always remember.

I was passing by Marion Rd in Meridian, Mississippi. As I cross over the intersection, I cross over the first tracks. Something told me to look up, and I did and what I saw zipped across the sky so fast, it was diamond in shape.

The speed was unbelievable, I watched it until it went out of sight. I am baffled and excited at the same time. I never thought I would see any thing like this in my lifetime.

Circular green object moving from north to south overhead. On September 13th, 2015 at 10:00 pm, I entered my bedroom and sat on the bed and looked out my south facing window. Immediately overhead a green, circular object moved from north to south and disappeared on the horizon.

The object made no sound. It wasn't a flare, nor did it look like a shooting star. The light didn't pulse nor did it flash.

The outer rim of the round object was a lighter green, with the inner part of circle being of a darker green.

Saw object at very close range next to residence hovering. moved very rapid and sent out bright blue flash and vanished into night sky. As I pulled in my driveway I seen different colored blinking lights and thought it was an airplane but realised the object was very close to my roof of my residents hovering.

Immediately lights turned off and object moved fast as lightning diagonally back and forth a few times. Released a very large blue flash that blinded me for a second as if a picture was being taken of me. After the flash, I could not see where it flew away to.

Vanished in the night sky.

Bright light during the late afternoon initially stationary, moves, then disappears, reappears a few minutes later. First Sighting I was driving my 18 wheeler through Mississippi today, I was about 25 miles west of Meridian heading West on interstate 20, the sun was going down and had just dipped below the horizon, so it was still pretty much daylight. The sky was clear with just a few small wispy clouds.

Looking through my windshield I noticed a bright light in the sky in front but slightly to the left, I pointed it out to my 12 year old son who was sitting in the passenger seat, saying to him “look at that star” and that it seemed unusual to see a star in daylight, not knowing too much about astronomy , I added that it was perhaps Venus which is why we can see it because I couldn’t see any other stars as I looked around the rest of the sky. As we looked at what by now I was convinced was Venus, a small wispy cloud moved across but the light was not obscured by the cloud, the cloud passed and the bright light was again in a cloudless part of the sky, a few seconds later I remarked to my son that the br! ight light appeared to be moving a little more to the left and also appeared to growing slightly dimmer, then it became quite obvious it was moving as it picked up speed very quickly moving upwards at a roughly 45 degree angle, it completely disappeared within a few seconds over the south western sky. All in all we had watched this thing for about 5-6 minutes, I noted the time that it disappeared, it was 4.

55 pm central time. Second Sighting My wife was also traveling in the truck but was in the sleeper listening to an audio book, I had considered disturbing her to look at the bright light when I first noticed it, but thinking I would be disturbing her for something as unremarkable as an ‘ early’ star or Venus I didn’t bother, it was only when my son and I realized that this thing was moving off at a high rate of speed that I finally called her, just too late for her see anything, in fact when I told her what we had just seen, I thought she might think we were imagining or exaggerating it. For approximately the next 10 minutes my Son and I discussed what we had seen with my wife, telling her several times that I had wished I had disturbed her so she could have seen it too.

Then to my astonishment the light suddenly appeared again, this time all three of us watched it, but it only stayed stationary for about a minute, then started moving again, except this time it moved in the opposite direction ( south west to! south east) and in less than 10 seconds faded out of sight completely, it was almost as if someone turned out the light with a ‘dimmer’ switch! The only difference this time was that it didn’t look exactly the same kind of light a star at night has, this time it had a reddish hue to it, we think that this time because of the change in direction it may have been reflecting the sun, despite the sun being quite a way below the horizon by now. I ought to add that I’m sure the object was very high in the sky, I don’t believe it was a plane because all the planes were leaving long contrails. Also, planes don’t really move that way.

No flashing airplane lights either.

Two of us saw a flying triangular gray illuminated object above our house and yard. My 11 year old daughter and I were jumping on the trampoline. We stopped to lay down and look at the stars.

Upon looking up a triangular shape caught my eye. It had just become dark and for a split second I thought it was a weird bird. Then I looked at how it flew, from east to west, then back again, then in a circle.

I asked my daughter if she saw it and she said, "Yes I do. What is it? Is it a ghost or a demon or a spaceship?" It moved very gracefully, then turned south and began to fly over us. It never increased or decreased in speed.

It appeared as a triangle with a hollow center, sort of like a boomerang with stripes. There were no lights but some sort of very small illumination like a glow which gave it the ghostly appearance. It was gray, a light gray and made no sound at all.

The thing continued to fly, very smoothly and gracefully, to the south until we could no longer see it. About a minute later what looked like a star, just a simple star, began to zigzag across the sky. It disappeared twice and then flew to the southeast.

We went inside and told my boyfriend, who laughed at us. Then one of my other children suggested we draw what we saw (the triangular thing) in opposite rooms. We did and the pictures are identical.

This concerns me as I've had weird things happen to me all my life - playing with strange objects in my room as a small child (that no one else ever knew about as they visited me at 3 a.m. or so), a triangle cut into my back in the middle of the night (as with a laser) that I never felt happen, a metal rod instered into my heel that I never remember the trauma of receiving (showed up on an x ray).

I saw three bright lights, came back later, and they were gone. Me and my parents were sitting outside on our porch when my dad noticed three lights we've never seen before. They were brighter than the north star.

This was at night. We saw these around 8:30PM. We came out at 9:00PM and the lights were gone.

We looked all around the sky, but we could never find them. They were arranged in a line, evenly spaced. It was not Orion's belt, I looked for it to check.

My mom, dad, and I saw them. It was the night after Hurricane Katrina hit us, so the power was out all around. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the sighting event is approximate.

Triangle over pond Several nights before this event I had gone to let my dogs out in the backyard and behind our house is 100 acre tree reserve (we live in a very rural area) it was around 9-10pm and I saw a light shining through some trees which immediately blinked out and I thought how odd because the light was at tree top level. My husband said maybe it is some deerhunters. A couple of night later I had walked down to my sons house across my pasture and when I was coming back the mist was rising in the pasture with a large area obstructing the stars.

Out of the mist above me I saw a horizontal beam of light like a laser shining out of it. It scared me and I ran on into the house. On the night of the 19th my son called me to come outside.

I can see his home from my front yard and he was standing on the deck. He said "look down at the pond". The pond is downhill from my house in the middle of my pasture with the tree reserve on the backside of it.

A very bright light was shining down into the pond; so bright that I couldn't see the source. My son said, " I have been watching it for 20 minutes." In just a few minutes the light went out and triangle shaped caraft was lifting up!!! It turned toward my house and lifted its nose and slowly acclerated upward.

It was making a pumping sound like an old washing machine for a few seconds then became absolutely quiet. It had the white corner lights and orangish light in the center. After reaching an altitude of a couple hundred feet all the lights went out and small red blinking light came on.

As it flew off it you could no longer tell what it was. With the linking red light it now looked like any plane that would be crossing the night sky. I don't know if the other 2 events have anything to do with this but it all happpened in the same week.

Caller was driving east on I-20, and at Mile Marker #120, he observed a silver-colored, metallic-appearing, "opal shaped" object in the sky. It was 15 degrees to the draver's right, and 30 degrees above the horizontal, and it was hovering totally motionless. The object clearly appeared to be rotating, and it occasionally would reflect sunlight, as if it had a flat side on it.

The observer pulled off the highway and stopped. As he was watching it, the object instantly just disappeared. The caller was trained in the military in photo analysis, and perhaps other specialties.

He was very precise in his description, using very unambiguous terms, and the proper use of angles, rather than distances. Also, he served in the UN forces in 1979 with the Peace Keeping Mission, arising out of the Camp David Accords.

I was on the 5th floor of the hospital in the room with my grandmother who was dying. She died at approx 4 pm. Other family members were also at the bedside.

I turned to the window sobbing and was looking to the southwest. There were large cummulus white clouds in the sky. While I was looking out the window to the sky I saw a pewter gray round object flying through the air.

I almost turned to say , "Look, look!" but the object entered a cloud and I decided not to. Then I saw it exit the cloud and and cross the sky and enter another cloud and I no longer saw it. It came from my left and was about the size of a half dollar and got smaller as it climbed into the clouds.

It was completely smooth, round like a ball bearing and had no markings. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous. PD)).

Silver cylinder craft flying silently, lower than normal air craft, rotating as it flew, with writing on the side (could not read it) The craft was flying lower than normal airplanes in the area, which is what grabbed my attention to it. I looked up and saw a short, cylinder shaped craft flying horizontally through the air, and rotating while it flew. There was no sound, nor any trail.

It glided through the sky seamlessly. It was grey/silver/white in color and had writing on the side. It flew from east to west at the same speed an airplane would pass.

It was like seeing a satellite that floats out in our orbit here under the clouds. My age at the time was 8 years and I was very interested in space exploration, so I assumed it was a NASA craft and didn't even mention it to anyone, not even my teachers. It was only later when I was an adult that I realized I had never heard of that type of technology existing and what I saw was odd.

Never seen anything else like it since. The craft was not flashy, no special lights, no aura, no glowing, nothing. It looked like normal, current technology to an 8 year old in 1986.
