About 30 amber to orange lights moving north on the west side of I-55. While driving to work on I-55 southbound, the same route I take to work every day, I noticed a few dozen amber to orange lights as I looked toward the Washington Monument replica that is located at about the Ridgeland Madison border. I pulled over to the side of the interstate and noted that they were moving in a northbound direction, all at the same speed, in a lose formation.
I turned off the radio and rolled down the window but heard no sound. I have never seen anything like this.

5 year old niece had brought it to our attention yesterday (02/14/2013 around 16:00) that she said she saw some “white things” in the sky, and rushed in to tell us. We went outside, we live in an apartment complex, and looked up at the sky facing NE, and we saw some white circular shapes. First thing we told my niece is that they are birds.
But we kept looking, and we saw that light was reflecting off of the shapes. If you've ever seen birds, you can tell what their color is, and light does not reflect off of them. We kept looking for a good minute, and there were literally more than one hundred.
They were making fast movements, and out of nowhere, they would start disappearing in groups. And then, they were gone. It lasted about a minute and a half.
Today (02/15/2013 around 16:00) we saw them again. It lasted about the same short period, and there were hundreds of them. And like the day before, they disappeared in groups.
If they are birds, I have never seen birds do that. We birds fly away, as far as I've seen, you can see them leave because they usually don’t go higher. And light does not reflect off their bodies! We are going to try to record them on camera tomorrow.

UFO close to the ground Very low to the ground! Heard sounds and it sounded like an airplane flying right over our house so I ran outside. All I saw was a whole bunch of trees rustling as the spacecraft had gone over them. By the time I went to get my camera, the noise had stopped and it was as if nothing had happened other than a whole lot of leaves fallen to the ground! Freakiest night of my life.
I don't believe in UFO's and thought they were 100% hoax. Not anymore!.

Low , non moving, white , oval/sperical(blimp like) object seen in Ridgeland at 11 AM. I was driving to class a little before 11: A.M.
About 5 minutes before I reached the Ridgeland exit I looked over and saw what appeared to be a white plane, but I did not see wings. I am slightly near-sighted so I passed it off as vision problems, but then when I got a full view of the object I discovered it was not moving. It was hovering there, not going forward, and it was too low to the ground to be a plane.
There was a building several yards away and it was higher than the building, but it was still very low. After studying the object for a minute it slowly rose a few feet into the air but continued to hover. It was then that I took the Ridgeland Exit and went to my class.
I don't know what it was. It was not a plane or a blimp although it resembled more of a blimp like object. It was not particularly big or small, it was probably a little bit smaller than a commercial plane, but bigger than a small plane.
It was white. It had no lights and no markings. At the time there were many cars on the interstate so I'm sure others must have seen it, especially since the object was not very far away and it was a clear, sunny day outside.

Ball of light moving at a rapid speed. The ufo I saw was a white ball. It was at a fairly high altitude and moving at a speed that would not have been a jet or plane.
I was sitting on the backyard swing about 8 p.m. central/standard time Saturday, Aug.
7th, and looked down on the ground for only a couple of seconds to pick up some trash underneath the swing and when I looked back up at the sky in the clearing was this ball of light that had just appeared out of nowhere in a vast clearing in the sky. It was moving quite swiftly. I live not far from the airport here and I can say with certainty that there were no strobe lights as required by the AFA as well as this being a perfectly shaped ball.
When a plane is at that altitude it simply cannot appear to move as fast as this ball of light was doing. It was making a straight shot through the sky, had no sound, and left no chemtrails of any kind, nor was it losing any altitude like a meteor particle or falling star would. It moved across a vast opening in the sky in 30 seconds or less and had this been a plane I would have sat and watched it for several minutes before it made that distance.
This is the second sighting I've had; the other one was saucer shaped over downtown Jackson, MS, in May.
