Two cylinder type objects or shadows traversing over fullwolf moon Jan. 2, 2018. On Jan.

2, 2018, my husband (former airline pilot with 22,000 hours) and I were traveling on Lamar Ext. (Hwy. 78), coming our of Olive Branch, Mississippi to Memphis.

Just before the Tennessee line, I witnessed two cylindrical objects or shadows moving vertically over the face of a full wolf moon. My husband viewed one, and I viewed both. #2 was higher than #1.

He was driving and #2 was out of the bright face of the moon and could no longer be seen when he observed #1. Once the objects or shadows were out of the bright face of the moon, they were no longer visible. Other people viewed this I am sure, speak up.

D d So I woke up and went outside to smoke a cigarette and there was this big huge yellow light in the sky northwest of me. I watched it for twenty minutes. It got bigger and then dimmer and at one time I sware it turned into a v.

It moved up about two inches and stopped and then slowly went up. Then stopped. Then turned off.

And I thought it was gone. Then bam it slowly came back on. It looks like it's looking for something.

I sware at one point it shined its lights in my direction and it just seemed like headlights in the sky looking at me. Then turned away. It was really really bright.

And wasn't a plane because it didn't move and when it did move it moved really fast in the sky. And planes don't turn their lights off. This is weird.

I watch the skies all the time. My dad is a pilot so I always just watch the skies. I've never seen this.

This was different. This was like a tiny sun. That could move faster than fast turn off and then vear up.

((NUFORC Note: We are uncertain as to whether this is a serious report. PD)).

Flashing light point covers 60° arc of sky on cloudless night in fewer than three seconds. At approximately 22:30 on 5/20/14 I was sitting on my patio facing south looking at a cloudless, star-lit sky. A flashing light zipped overhead from south to north.

It appeared over a neighbor's rooftop roughly 30° above the horizon. It disappeared directly over my own rooftop at 90° in fewer than three seconds. I could have easily mistaken it for a meteor except it was blinking.

It had no time to blink more than two to three times, and had I not been facing in the right direction at the moment it happened, the event would have taken place too quickly to have been even noticed. Whether it was within or outside the earth's atmosphere, it was traveling at a breathtaking rate of speed.

Strange sightings over north Mississippi I was standing outside my back door, practically inside the door frame. It was a very clear night, and I was just stargazing while I smoked a cigarette. I noticed a bright light streak across the sky directly above me.

My first thoughts of the white streak was it might be a missile. But then I realized it had no sound, and only lasted at most, 2 seconds. The missile thoughts came to mind because over the past year, and more so in recent months, we have had numerous fly overs at EXTREMELY low altitudes of fighter jets, blackhawk helicopters, and cargo planes.

I actually have a photo of a fighter jet flying over, and as recently as June 1st, a formation fly over occured. I ran inside and got my 12 year old brother, hoping maybe he could catch a glimpse of something to prove I wasn't going crazy at 23 years old! Of course, my younger brother mocked me because of what I had seen. Within 20 minutes of being outside again, we both saw a streak of light go across the sky.

From our vantage point, it moved east to west. It was green in color, and seemed to skip over parts of the sky, as if it disappeared and reappeared right in front of us! It covered a large distance in a matter of 6 seconds, at most. My brother was amazed.

We decided to stay outside and try to see even more. Ten minutes went by, and then we both noticed another streak go overhead. It was white in color and gone within a second.

We both rushed inside and were a little shaken by the sights we had seen. I coaxed my girlfriend outside late June 7th because she thought I was going insane. It was a clear night once again.

We watched the stars slowly appear as the sun went down. We noticed the moon to the west and saw saturn and venus closely next to the moon. As we panned across the sky, going west to east we noticed what we thought was a star.

Moving! We could barely see it, but could easily see the movement. It moved very subtle, very slow, and within about 6 seconds it was completely gone. Last night, June 10th, I decided to go outside and sit on our back porch.

It was around 1:15 a.m. I noticed the green streak again! It appeared to be moving towards the ground, in intervals like the previous sightings.

It was farther east, in the direction of Holly Springs, MS. I went back inside, and that's where I stayed. I've gotten curious whether or not anyone else around the Memphis, TN area or northwest Mississippi area has seen the things I have witnessed within the last week or so.

One more note: The green streaks I saw also seemed to change towards a blue then an orange.

An oddly shaped, black craft with no lights flying at very low altitude was observed at daybreak. At 07:05 10/19/06 I was alone in my car traveling North at the 7700 block on Hacks Cross Road in Olive Branch, MS. There was heavy rush hour traffic and it was just beginning to get daylight.

Out my drivers side window at approximately 10 o'clock and about 30 degrees up I saw an oddly shaped black craft traveling directly Southeast. The instant I spotted it, I leaned down and watched as it traveled in a straight line from NW to SE directly over my roof. It was in my sight for 2, maybe 3 seconds at the most.

The reason it caught my eye was due to its low altitude and odd shape. There was a low ceiling and patchy dense fog in the immediate area. Judging from the apparent altitude of 100-150 feet, the craft was clearly visable and appeared to have a very flattened fuselage 15-20 feet in length, 6-8 feet across with short canards 2-3 feet long approximately 5 feet from the aft end.

It was traveling in the range of 125 to 150 knots would be my best guess. I saw no lights on the craft in the brief time it was in my sight. There were no visible means of propulsion and my first impression was that it resembled a shortened cruise missle.

I tried to see it as it passed farther to the SE but my view was blocked. I did have the radio on, but didn't hear any loud noise I would expect from an aircraft at that altitude. I continued to look in the general SE direction to see if there were any sudden flashes of light but did not observe any.

My location was approximately 1/4 mile West of the Olive Branch airport and 8 miles SE from the Memphis International Airport. The craft was traveling at such a low altitude it was very unlikely that it could have been on approach to OLV as the runway is north & south. I am a Mechanical Engineer and have some knowledge of aircraft.

A disk shaped copper colored object passed overhead as we were watching hawks flying above. The craft slowly flew past seemingly eratic at times like a bird might fly. It was mid day clear skies however there seemed to be a haze around the craft.

We watched the craft fly at a low altitude for a mile or more then ascend into the upper atmosphere until out of sight. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

We saw two disk like objects crash. I was downtown in Olive Branch Mississippi near Memphis when there where about five metallic silver disc like objects hovering and makeing odd and strange movements without a sound. A lot of people were pulled on the side of the road wathching them.

suddenly two of the objects crashed into each other in a nearby field. The others flew away at an amazing high speed. Some kind of military personel took the rubble away it was like they didnt want anyone seeing what had crashed.

They later said they were all weather balloons, but if it were weather balloons why were they in such a hurry to pick up the rubble.

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK WHEN I WITNESSED AN ORANGE/RED FIREBALL WITH A REAL BRIGHT WHITE SILVERY LIGHT PERTRUDING OUT THE FRONT/TOP THAT ILLUMINATED THE SKY ALL AROUND IT. NO DOUBT MOST PUREST, BRIGHTEST, WHITE LIGHT I EVER SAW. THE OBJECT SLOWED CONSIDERABLY, WHILE GOING IN AN UPWARD ANGLE.

AS SLOWING THE WHITE LIGHT GOT DIM, NOT OUT. THE LIGHT GOT REAL BRIGHT, MORE SO THAN BEFORE, THEN ACCELERATED OUT TO THE NORTH, AS IT WAS GOING FROM THE SOUTH TO THE NORTH. ON THE EVENING OF MARCH, 9, 2000 AT APPROX.

2045 HOURS I WAS TRAVELING WEST ON GOODMAN RD.(HWY 302)ON MY WAY TO WORK AT ESTES EXPRESS TRUCKING COMPANY IN MEMPHIS, TN. AS TRAVELING, I WAS NOTICING THE BEAUTIFUL QUARTER MOON, WITH VENUS (I THINK THAT IS THE CORRECT PLANET) UNDER THE MOON.

BOTH WERE BIG AND BRIGHT AS THE NIGHT SKY WAS CLEAR AND CLOUDLESS. WHILE OBSERVING I SAW A BIG ORANGE/RED FIREBALL WITH A TAIL TRAVELING JUST UNDER THE MOON GOING FROM SOUTH TO NORTH IN AN UPWARD DIRECTION, NOT DOWNWARD AS YOU WOULD COMMONLY SEE A NORMAL METEORITE (ME BEING AN OVER THE ROAD TRUCK DRIVER, I HAVE WITNESSED MANY METEORS FALLING TO EARTH). WHAT MADE THIS SIGHTING VERY DIFFERENT THAN SEEING A METEORITE FALL TO EARTH WAS THE PURE, BRIGHT, WHITE LIGHT THAT WAS ON THE FRONT OF THE FIREBALL.

IT WAS SO BRIGHT AND WHITE, IT ILLUMINATED THE WHOLE NIGHT SKY AROUND IT. THIS WAS NO DOUBT, THE MOST BEAUTIFUL, YET STRANGEST THING I HAD EVER SEEN. AS IT GOT TO THE NORTH OF MY VIEW, I SAW THE LIGHT DIM, NOT GO OUT.

THE FIREBALL DID NOT DIM, JUST THE WHITE LIGHT. WHILE DIMMING DOWN, THE FIREBALL SLOWED DOWN FOR A SECOND OR TWO. JUST AS IT SLOWLY DIMMED, IT THEN LIGHT BACK UP WHITER AND BRIGHTER THAN BEFORE AND ACCELERATED IN AN UPWARD TRACK TO THE NORTH.

NO WAY WAS THIS FIREBALL A METEORITE. I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF METEORS IN MY 20 YEARS OF DRIVING A BIG TRUCK.
