On 9/07/2018, I was standing in my yard. I was feeding my dogs, when I looked up and saw a bright object that I could not identify. I know it wasn’t a aircraft.
The object was probably 1500-2000 feet. The object was bright white moving fast from south to north, around 10:00pm the object was not blinking. You could see normal aircraft flying with the red and green lights around their normal cruising altitude.
It was probably visible for about ten minutes.

Tic-tac looking object very high in sky, with a jet plane behind it traveling southwest over central Mississippi 2:50pm. I was standing in the drive way of my house. I looked up and noticed a jet in the sky with a long trail of smoke coming out the rear.
Then I noticed an object about 5 inches in front of it, I'm standing on the ground. It looked like two tic-tacs, one in front of the other, but almost touching. It was traveling southwest.
This object appeared higher in altitude than the jet and moving a little faster. It looked light in color, almost white. But once the sun hit it appeared a very shiny silver almost like an led light.

My wife and myself were driving on Hwy 15 North five to seven miles outside of Philadelphia, MS, when we noticed a hovering group of between five or six fireball shaped objects. These objects would separate almost instantly ! Also we were astonished at how fast these objects would go from extreme altitudes to tree top levels or even lower! As we both have always been able to debunk anything UFO related this encounter baffled us and even frightened my wife to the point that we are now firm believers in UFO's.

Craft seen with lights on top and bottom. December 18, 2015 Sir: About 17:35 CST, in the Northeastern quadrant of Neshoba county, Mississippi, I witnessed a craft of unknown size for about 2 minutes. This was a little after sundown but still there was enough light for me to see my dog about 75 yards away.
I couldn't tell the shape because of the bright lights that were situated on the top and the bottom of the craft. I watched it hover for the period of time stated and then entered my home to call for someone else to observe. When I again exited my home the object was gone.
The appearance of the object, as far as I could see, was as though there was a straight line with three lights on top and three lights on bottom. As I said, the lights were very bright and prevented me seeing any detail other than what has been stated. From my position, I was looking approximately at a 30 degree angle and the object was about Âľ of a mile away.
After it was no longer in my view, about 7 to 10 minutes later, a jet came from the north, heading in a southern direction. To our NNE, about 50 miles away is Columbus Air Force Base. To our SSE is the Meridian Naval Air Station, about the same distance.
I hope this helps. I have an MBA and a B.S.
Degree in Secondary Education. I was stationed at Redstone Arsenal, in Huntsville, Al as a meteorologist. I used to own a Mercedes dealership.
I tell you these things to let you know that most people consider me sane. Not that it should matter, I'm 66 years old.
