Silent white object spotted, then moved 2 miles, flashed, moved again, flashed, moved again, flashed 3 times, then dissapeared I am submitting this report for an individual who lives right next door to me. We are both of sound mind and body, and the nature of this letter is to do nothing more than report an event that occurred, based on this persons account on Wednesday March 29th .After asking this individual if he was going to report it, he said hell no.
Perplexed and astounded by testimony he gave, I am going behind his back to report this event. Simply because he stated “this was the most amazing thing I have ever seen in my life”. He was very serious, specific and said this was not any sort of aircraft, based on how it behaved.
At approximately 8:55 PM on Wednesday March 29th in rural Starkville Mississippi, the individual was leaning against the bed of his truck, facing North East having a cigarette looking towards the sky casually. It was pitch black, stars illuminated the clear sky, the crescent moon behind him. In the sky at about 1000 feet he noticed a peculiar white light in the sky just sitting there about a mile and a ½ from him, just over to the right.
In a matter of one second the object moved about 2 miles South West, which was closer, and to the left of where he first saw it. It stopped and did one flash (white light), then immediately went North about a ½ mile in a split second , stopped and flashed again just once. Then the object darted East South East about another mile and ½ where it was just above the tree line as he was looking at it, then it flashed 3 times, same white light.
The final spot it stopped but further right from where he first spotted it, but closer to him. Then in an instant it simply just disappeared. He said it was completely silent, and the light was like a pure white light bulb when it flashed.

BRIGHT LIGHT MOVING ACROSS SKY, SLIGHTLY ZIG ZAGGING, MET 2 OTHER FAINT LIGHTS.GONE On the night in question, a friend and I went outside to look at the stars. After a few mintues I looked to the southwest sky and it looked like a really bright satellite moving across like they normally would.
after a few seconds I noticed that it really didn't have a geo-synchronous orbit like a Satellite. For about 10 seconds it went behind the clouds, at which point I thought I had lost it but my friend pointed it out when it came out from behind the clouds. As it came out from behind the clouds, it started to drop in the sky, somewhat zig-zagging and moved toward the horizon at which point it was moving too fast and was too bright to be a satellite.
Just as it was due south fairly high above the horizon, we noticed two very faint lights moving towards the main big light at the same time. Right after they started to move together the lights suddenly disappeared, sort of like a fading effect. Didn't see anything else after that.

I thought, I was about to see a shooting star, when a lime green ball of light erupted and trailed downward for over 30 sec. It was a large sized lime-green fireball. It fell straight downward.
I was traveling in my car, so I believe it was to be in the northeastern sky. ((NUFORC Note: We are approaching the peak of the Perseid Meteor shower, which occurs on August 12 of this year. This may have been a sighting of an early meteor from hat shower.
However, a 30-second sightng is extremely long, and extremely unusual for a meteor. PD)).
