Location details: over ocean near beach

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aircraft nearby

Shiny metallic triangle that approached Military helicopter, with blue light on bottom and accelerated at incredible speed

While standing on my condo balcony looking out over the beach and ocean two military helicopters were flying by. I snapped three quick photos of the two military training helicopters that were flying along the beach at about 1000 feet out and maybe 1,000 feet altitude.
What is in all three photos is startling. Clear image of a craft that approached the lead helicopter and appeared to change rotation and possibly tag the Helicopter , then shot off to a distance of about a half mile in only a couple seconds. All three photos were taken in about 15 seconds.
I didn't see it at first with the naked eye and when taking the pics, But I immediately noticed it when I looked at the pics later. Its clear in the photos and its real. Alarming to say the least. I hope its one of our craft or we are in trouble folks.
Im open to talking with anyone that has info or may have seen this craft.
I contacted a few agencies and reporters but got no response. They dont seem to be concerned.

Odd objects flying at the same pace in no particular formation

I was walking on a track at Keesler AFB and I saw these odd shaped objects flying over me. I thought birds at first, but when they continued on there was no wings flapping and they moved at the exact same speed. I've never seen drones fly this close together either. No sounds were coming from these objects. One object was in the front, maybe 10-12 in the cluster and then 3 staggered following the cluster.

Then the first one vanished and the other one was still there. There were not any clouds insight for it to hide behind.

I was leaving my house after 4am to pick up my husband from work when I noticed a bright light; much brighter than a star hovering in the sky. It appeared to be pulsing slightly and the light wavered between white and yellow.

After I returned home with my husband about 30 mins later, the light was still in the sky but had changed position and was further south. We both got out our phones and pulled up Skyview to see if we could figure out what it was. The position was close to the position of the constellation Leo but was not a planet either. Even though I could clearly see the light through my viewfinder, the app did not recognize the object. When I went back out later after 5am, it was gone. The same light appeared the next night with the same result of Skyview not being able to determine the object. The times we saw it were between 3 am and 4 am. Last night the object did not appear, however, earlier in the evening, my daughter claims to have seen somethi! ng similar hovering in the area of Back bay of Biloxi. We had not told her of our sighting and she had described a similar large glowing object that was much larger than a star.

I saw this ufo about 8 years ago in Biloxi Mississppi. I walked to the beach, and it was arond 9:00pm. I was squatting at the shore looking over the water. When an orange sphere of light came out of the water. It Rose up halfway in the sky. And it looked like a mini sun. I watched this thing and it broke off into two. And the second light flew amazingly fast into the sky. I got up and went to walk away and the sphere flashed a light at me. And the next thing I remember. I was projectile vomiting and was sick the remainder of the night. I walked to a waffle house. And I used their phone to call someone to come pick me up. The waitress said that she saw the light two. But she said it was two hours ago. It was at that point 11pm. I don’t know what happened that night. But I do know what I saw and experienced.

Strange light seen in Biloxi, MS.

At about 6:00 p.m. I arrived home. It was dark out and I happened to look up. I saw a large white light, larger than a star or visible planets. It seemed to zig zag at high speed and then stop. It did this for a few minutes, darting back and forth. I noticed the color change from white to a golden yellow. It then became bright red. As it changed to red, it was stationary but also appeared to get smaller. It vanished right in front of my eyes. I thought that I was going crazy and told my fiance who was at work. He called me later and told me that I wasn't going crazy. One of his co workers was asking if anyone saw the strange light and described the same thing that I had seen.

Triangular object in Biloxi, MS above I-10

While driving east bound on I-10, my son and I saw very bright lights just west of the interstate. The lights resembled bright white stadium lights.

When we came closer, the triangular shape was very visible and we could see several light blue lights along one side. The object was just sitting there hovering approx. 100 or so yards above the interstate just off the west bound lanes.

I slowed my vehicle to watch it as we passed by and within 30 seconds it was gone.

There were several other vehicles on the interstate, surely it was seen by more than just us two.

Biloxi Ms Sighting

At about 5:30P.M. I looked up in the sky and saw what looked to be a sphere/slight cigar shape metallic object very high up almost in space. I alerted two of my friends that were standing in my yard with me and they saw it also. I ran inside and got my telescope and while i was gone my two friends said they saw it speed up and then come almost to a dead stop.I couldnt focus my telescope in on it because of the bright glare of the sun that it was reflecting but all three of us watched as it slowly went from north to south eventually disappearing below the tree line.

V shaped light formation travleing S/SW in Biloxi

I was standing outside this morning watching the meteor shower. A boomerang of lights seemed to appear out of nowhere, close to the ground but made no sound. It turned in different directions rapidly then just disappeared. I live close to Keesler Air Force Base and figured it was probably just a plane. But I could see no outline of a plane even though it was that close to the ground and i could hear no engines. The best way I can describe what it looked like, because I can't remember how many lights, is a flock of geese heading south for the winter...all wearing orangish~yellow lights. Maybe someone out there has a logical explanation for what I saw. I'm the biggest skeptical I know, but this has me puzzled and wondering.

I was driving east on I-90 in Biloxi. I looked out over the Gulf and saw a long dark shape that was maybe 50 feet above the water. It was a good distance away so I couldn't make out any distinct shape. I watched it for more than 5 minutes and it never moved. It just sat there.

Biloxi couple witnesses odd lights over Gulf of Mexico

My fiance and I were driving west on Beach Boulevard and had just passed the Keesler AFB entrance from the beach and we saw a string of lights hovering over the water. I said it must be an airplane, my fiance said it's got to be a helicopter. Then we passed some trees and looked over the water and the string of lights just "disappeared". Then we saw some type of aircraft coming from Keesler headed toward the area that we saw the "UFO", like maybe it was going to investigate the same area. We noticed that the traffic on the other side of the road was slowing down like maybe they saw what we saw. We kept driving, but got close to a well-lighted souvenir shop, we did'nt see it anymore.

Couple observes Star-like objects over Keesler AFB

I was standing on the upper deck of my apartment with my girlfriend. I was looking toward the west off and on. Having looked down momentarily, then back up, I saw a bright light in the distance. Thinking it was a star, I said to myself, "this is the first star tonight, I'll make a wish". I looked down to pick up something for a second time, then looking back, the single star was gone and was replaced by two star-like objects, side by side, about 5 inches apart at arms length. I alerted my girlfriend as they suddenly faded out. Above these lights all the while was a slow moving jet,leaving a contrail. In about ten minutes, we were startled to see a small BLACK single engine plane appear out of nowhere, headed southeasterly from Keesler AFB. Our apartment is about 2 miles east of the base in Biloxi, Ms. This is my first UFO sighting, but hopefully not my last.

Unidentified Sphere observed by group of teens west of Keesler AFB, Biloxi, MS.

I have never reported this story and have only shared it with my closest family and friends. Those who know me well enough to know I do not lie nor do I embellish stories.

Between August, 1976 and May, 1979, I attended Fernwood Junior High School, Pass Road, Biloxi, Mississippi 39531 for my 7th, 8th and 9th grade years. So It has been nearly 40 years since my UFO experience. That being said, though I am a little vague on the exact date or time the circumstances are still as clear in my mind as if they had happened yesterday.

One evening I was among a group of kids who had just finished band practice. There were probably 7-9 of us waiting for our parents to pick us up. If I remember correctly it was for concert band and it had to have been at least 8:00pm or 8:30pm, maybe a little later than that. After practice was finished we were all huddled at the back of the school where it looked over the football field. On the other side of the field was an area of woods and past that lie the beaches. It was completely dark outside and I don’t remember being cold so I believe it was in the late summer or early fall sometime between September and December. The sky was completely clear and illuminated by only the stars and the moon, with a faint glow from some street lights on the front side of the school (north of our position) and from the businesses which lined Beach Blvd, approximately a mile away on the other side of the woods, to the south. Biloxi was east of or location and Gulfport was to our wes! t. Also lying east of our location was Keesler Air Force Base. My father was stationed there.

We were all gathered and just talking. When someone in the group noticed a bright light that appeared at the top of the trees. Since it was on the other side of the field I estimate it was approximately 200 feet +/- away from or location and based on the its position above the field I estimate that it had an approximately diameter of 40-60 feet. It was a bright white sphere that was completely silent and slowly glided just above the tree line towards the direction of Gulfport until it was out of our line of sight. It only took about 30 seconds for it to disappear past the tree tops.

After a moment of silent disbelief, a buzz of talking occurred, with questions about the source of the light but what happened next really sent the conversation into a frenzy. As I said, the sphere was completely silent but approximately 20 seconds after it disappeared a group of helicopters came into view at the top of the trees to our east. They were not in a straight line but in some kind of formation spread out from the tree line towards the beach. We heard them loud and clear before we even saw them (which squashed the point that the Sphere was too far away for us to hear) and they followed the same exact path across the top of the trees, east to west, hurriedly scanning below with search lights, along their path, as they passed the school. About that time we heard our parents blow their car horns and we went running up to the front of the school. We loaded into the car (I was riding with a friend) and excitedly began to describe our experience. We were headed East on Pa! ss Road towards home. I lived in Thrower Park, which was base housing. No sooner had we started driving down Pass Road when 4-5 police cars, with lights and sirens blaring, sped past us in the direction of Gulfport. This only fueled our speculations. The next day I looked in the newspapers for any word of the events of the previous evening, but there was nothing. Of course we spoke of it at school and I kept watch in the papers for several weeks, but eventually gave up on finding out what happened that night.

Over the years I have thought of our experience often and wondered about the truth but in my mind I have no doubt about what we saw. During my father’s 20 year career in the Air Force he worked on mission specific equipment for aircraft and I was in and around aircraft frequently when I would visit the hangers where he worked. Some of the mission equipment he worked on was for the Hurricane Hunters and I was very aware of what a weather balloon was and what it looked like. So much so that as a child I wanted to grow up to be a weather person. I was captivated by weather and the Hurricane Hunters. We had also lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and been to the hot air balloon festivals on several occasions, during my childhood.

I wish I could say I remember the date and the names of the other kids who were present that night, but other than my recollection of the experience and a few nicknames I am at a loss. How I wish we had the internet then. I may not have been able to find any information back then but I have never forgotten and would love to know if there is anyone else out there, who went to Fernwood Junior High during that period, and who has not forgotten either.

Silent black triangular object flying at low level near Kessler AFB.

From the late summer of 1977 to the early spring of 1978 I was stationed at Kessler AFB in Biloxi, Mississippi. The sighting occurred one evening at approximately 9:00 PM during that interval; the exact date or time was not recorded.

My wife and I had an off-base apartment just off the beach on highway 90 which runs through Biloxi. We had been for a walk on the beach and were returning to our apartment, looking up at the night sky. Simultaneously we both saw a black, triangular object go across the sky from south to north. The flight path was from the Mississippi Sound and over the western side of Kessler AFB, which was approximately 1/2 mile from our apartment. The object had no lights and made no sound. The object appeared to be black, and it was mainly seen because it blocked out the stars as it flew overhead.

The object appeared to be flying at an altitude of between 500 and a thousand feet, with an airspeed of 100 to 150 mph. It was shaped like a equilateral triangle with sides of approximately 100 feet. However, since the object made no sound, and it flew directly overhead without any distant landmarks to compare for size, it is difficult to estimate the size, speed or altitude of the object with any certainty. I could have been an even larger object, at a much higher altitude flying at a very fast airspeed. The size, speed and altitude are simply my best guess based on my recollection of an event that occurred over 30 years ago.

The strangest aspect of the sighting was the absolute silence of the object. It made no sound whatsoever. It was also strange that it was running without lights, and the shape was like no aircraft that I know of from that era. It could have been a test version of the B2 stealth bomber, but that doesn't explain the silence. There was no engine noise that either my wife or I could hear.

After practice was finished we were all huddled at the back of the school where it looked over the football field. On the other side of the field was an area of woods and past that lie the beaches. It was completely dark outside and I don’t remember being cold so I believe it was in the late summer or early fall sometime between September and December. The sky was completely clear and illuminated by only the stars and the moon with a faint glow from some street lights on the front side of the school (north of our position) and from the businesses which lined Beach Blvd, approximately a mile away on the other side of the woods, to the south. Biloxi was east of or location and Gulfport was to our west. Also lying east of our location was Keesler Air Force Base. My father was stationed there.

We were all gathered and just talking. When someone in the group noticed a bright light that appeared at the top of the trees. Since it was on the other side of the field I estimate it was approximately 200 feet +/- away from or location and based on the its position above the field I estimate that it had an approximately diameter of 40-60 feet. It was a bright white sphere that was completely silent and slowly glided just above the tree line towards the direction of Gulfport until it was out of our line of sight. It only took about 30 seconds for it to disappear past the tree tops.

After a moment of silent disbelief a buzz of talking incurred with questions about the source of the light but what happened next really sent the conversation into a frenzy. As I said the sphere was completely silent but approximately 20 seconds after it disappeared a group of helicopters came into view at the top of the trees to our east. They were not in a straight line but in some kind of formation spread out from the tree line towards the beach. We heard them loud and clear before we even saw them (which squashed the point that the Sphere was too far away for us to hear) and they followed the same exact path across the top of the trees, east to west, hurriedly scanning below with search lights, along their path, as they passed the school.

About that time we heard our parents blow their car horns and we went running up to the front of the school. We loaded into the car (I was riding with a friend) and excitedly began to describe our experience. We were headed East on Pa! ss Road towards home. I lived in Thrower Park, which was base housing. No sooner had we started driving down Pass Road when 4-5 police cars, with lights and sirens blaring, sped past us in the direction of Gulfport. This only fueled our speculations. The next day I looked in the newspapers for any word of the events of the previous evening but there was nothing. Of course we spoke of it at school and I kept watch in the papers for several weeks but eventually gave up on finding out what happened that night.

Over the years I have thought of our experience often and wondered about the truth but in my mind I have no doubt about what we saw. During my father’s 20 year career in the Air Force he worked on mission specific equipment for aircraft and I was in and around aircraft frequently when I would visit the hangers where he worked. Some of the mission equipment he worked on was for the Hurricane Hunters and I was very aware of what a weather balloon was and what it looked like. So much so that as a child I wanted to grow up to be a weather person. I was captivated by weather and the Hurricane Hunters. We had also lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and been to the hot air balloon festivals on several occasions, during my childhood.

I wish I could say I remember the date and the names of the other kids who were present that night but other than my recollection of the experience and a few nicknames I am at a loss. How I wish we had the internet then. I may not have been able to find any information back then but I have never forgotten and would love to know if there is anyone else out there, who went to Fernwood Junior High during that period, and who has not forgotten either.

Reported: 2002-06-30 21:19 Pacific
Duration: 5 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Bilxoi, MS, USA

Shape: Disk
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object

It was about 10:00 pm on a warm June night. I was riding my bike near the Ancient Oaks subdivision golf course in North Biloxi. This was shortly after the Pascagoula, Miss. incident involving so-called direct contact with a UFO. Anyway, I saw a small, saucer shaped object, glowing luminously and moving slowly over the golf course at treetop level. It continued this way for a few minutes then suddenly accelerated to tremendous velocity and took off almost straight up out of sight. I don't know if it was a natural phenomenon or artificial, but it was unlike anything I had ever seen.

Cloud, hovering then moving at right angles with pulsating light coming from within

The event took place at Keesler Air Force Base over the Triangle area of the Base. It happened at a time when all of the school squadrons were in formation and marching to their classes. A small cloud enity seperated itself from the clouded overcast ceiling and decended very slowly. It made no noise. From within the cloud we could see a pulsating light the intensity of a flouresent light bulb. It would pluse on then off approx at 2 sec intervals. The clould then droped closer to the ground then stoped. Approx height (200 ft) then the cloud moved slowly in a level path to our left, at a right angle (NNW) then slowly returned to its original position. It then rose approx halfway up to the cloud ceiling, then back down. On its return up again if stoped at the halfway point for a minute, then suddenly disappeared. All The Airmen saw it. The Height finder from the Radar School appeared to be focused on it. We were informed later that day, that what we saw was a weather rocket out of Alabama that had gone astray. No more was said, not did I see any publication about this sighting.
