I've captured these high altitude objects after sunset and this one sped away at an incredible speed. Seeing as many 25-30 on clear nights is not uncommon. Some will change speed and/or change direction.
It's hard to imagine these are satellites or planes as they appear to be extremely high in our atmosphere or higher. (Ignore the dates on the video.When I changed the batteries I forgot to reset the correct date.
) I have no idea what these are and would welcome feedback if anyone has any ideas. I would also welcome advice on what devices I could use to obtain better captures that may actually reduce the glare to provide more definition to the object itself. Purely speculation but if these are man made objects above us in our atmosphere, how exciting it would be if it were revealed these capabilities exist.
i.e. Spaceforce.
It's also worth mentioning, although some of these can be seen with the naked eye, many can only be seen by using the night vision. The night vision allows me to capture the objects for a longer period of time. I hope to learn how to stabilize the videos for better viewing at a later date.

Numerous Orbs high altitude and Fantastic speeds Took this video of the night sky on 12/17/2023 using an Equinox-X650 night vision camera. (I have about 10 other videos taken this night. It was an active night of many things transversing the night sky.
Are they planes, satellites, UFOs, meteors or other?) I don't claim to know, but, I will say they are definitely something.) This is unedited.

Filmed Multiple lights with Nightscope - Changing Speed I routinely can capture various lights traveling across the sky during clear night skies using a Nightscope. On this particular night (Either March 4 or March 11) I filmed this object that sped away at a fantastic speed. I have many of these types of videos.
It isn't uncommon to capture 10-15 per sitting. I have recorded some changing direction, increasing speeds and others with multiple lights converging. (Some could obviously be satellites.
).

The Hills Sitting in the frontyard my wife,brother,and I were having a little chat about football. Stopping in the middle of my thoughts I saw "what I thought was a star" floating across the sky above. Pointing it out to everybody still in a daze from realizing this couldnt be a star it hasnt dimmed.
Nor could it be a plane it wasnt blinking at all. It was at a nice cruise then faded from a yellow lighting to something of gray or silver.Moments later the silver star disappeared behind the trees.

Fireball in the sky over Mississippi At about 9:15 last night I was observing the sky when out of nowhere a fiery object appeared and streaked across the sky, upon seeing the object I did hear a loud boom. The object was on fire as it streaked across the sky after watching it my eyes were burning like if you look into the sun. The best way to describe it: like a giant fireball.
I routinely stargaze but I have never seen anything like this. It was kind of terrifying for a moment and I ran inside to tell my wife and we waited for an hour outside hoping it would happen again but it didn’t. When I turned on my TV this morning I saw on the news where people in my state saw the same thing.

Blinking lights in triangle formation over Vicksburg, leaving behind two large clouds of smoke then disappearing Approximately at 6:20 PM (CST) as I was driving towards Vicksburg from the Delta exit as I was approaching the bridge I saw blinking white lights on what I thought was possibly helicopters flying in formation headed SE over the river. As I watched whatever it was it became clear it wasn’t an airplane or helicopters. All of a sudden it (or they) seemed to stop in the sky briefly and shoot out a huge black / gray cloud of smoke then within a split second turned 180 degrees (maybe it turned before it sprayed the smoke…) and in what seemed like a second it was back over the river headed NW and once again sprayed another huge black or dark grey cloud after which the lights were gone.
Both ‘clouds’ didn’t move, they just hung there for as long as I could see as I passed under one and what I could see in my review mirror as I passed through Vicksburg.

2 bright lights moving at a high rate of speed over Vicksburg,MS At around 8:30pm on April 26 my girlfriend and I were parking our car in downtown Vicksburg,MS to go eat when I looked up and saw a bright light, kinda like a flare a military plane shoots out to evade air to ground missles. It was approaching from the east traveling at a high rate of speed and was even leaving a bright trail as it went by. There was a low cloud cover that night and it was just below the clouds.
I told my girlfriend to look and she saw it as well. When it got about even with my car it took an immediate 90deg turn to the north when and up into the clouds. At that point you could clearly see that is was not one but two(2) lights as they both dissapeared.
The next morning I called the local newspaper and police dept. to see if anybody had reported seeing it as well but nobody had.

UFO sighted by numerous people My lady friend and I had gone to the Dollar General Store in Vicksburg, MS. She was babysitting two children, 4 yrs. old and 6 yrs.
old, who were with us. My friend went into the store and I sat in my truck with the kids and waited for her. It was about 5:30 pm, and the sun was going down.
The sky was very clear and still a light color but the ground was almost as dark as night. The younger child pointed into the sky and said that she saw a light in the sky, which I'm sure was the crescent moon. When I looked up to see what it was, I saw the moon, which is what I think she was looking at.
Then I looked to the side of the moon a considerable distance and I saw a dark object in the sky that was shaped like a plump Hershey's Kiss, or perhaps a teardrop with a slightly flattened-out botton. It was black in a apearance with a pointed top and seemed to have an extremely faint aura around it that my friend also noticed. There were no lights on it, and it made no sound whatsoever.
It was due east of us, as I was looking in the direction of the Mississippi River from the store's parking lot in the Beechwood area. I got out of my truck partway and stared at it. It moved closer very slowly at a slight angle coming from left to right.
I stood and watched it for about 3 or 4 minutes. It got about 30-50% larger as it seemed to come closer. Then it stopped moving and hovered in place.
At this point it seemed to be at an altitute of between 500 and 600 ft. if my speculations of distance and size of the object were correct. I watched it for about 2 or 3 minutes, and noticed that several other people in the parking lot were also staring at it.
A black couple in their late twenties spoke to me briefly about it, and I asked the man if it seemed like it was about 500 yards away, no more than 1000. He agreed that it was about that far away. My friend came out of the store and watched it with me.
After another minute or two, it began to slowly move upward. I drove Sharon, the kids, and myself toward the object into the lot of a strip mall about a mile closer. I stopped and got out and we stared at the object until it became too small to see.
It took about 10 minutes for the object to ascend out of sight. As it rose, it did not move to one side or another whatsoever. It just moved exactly straight upwards.
I estimate the diameter of the object to have been at least 15 ft. and may possible have been 3 times that size. It was difficult to estimate it's size without knowing it's true distance from us.
It could not have been a balloon of any kind, because a balloon would have moved to one side or another (or gotten larger or smaller depending on your perspective, as it rose. There would have undoubtably been air currents somewhere between ground level and 1,000 ft. of altitude which would have caused a balloon to move sideways to some degree as it rose that far upwards.
It could not have been an aircraft, such as a helicopter, because it made no sound, and helicopters make a lot of noise with their large props, and can be easily heard from a few miles away. If it were any kind of machine with a piston or turbine engine and a propeller, it would have made a lot of sound. Furthermore, law requires that all aircraft have blinking lights so that they are visible by the pilots of other aircraft, yet this object was completely black in appearance.
