I initally thought is was a "strawberry" moon, but one side was abeba like, while the other side was a smooth curve that would get a bit bumpy. It was glowing and pulsated a bit.

saw 2 very huge Florissant green circles that seemed attached that were vertical,moving south to north in the sky

At 2216 12 May 2022 while on my back porch smoking, I thought I heard a strange helicopter sound or something flying over and when I looked up a saw 2 very huge Florissant green hazy circles that seemed attached flying south to north. The rings were way too big for an aircraft! Looked like “OO”. I also saw an aircraft (may have been a helicopter I heard) following closely behind it off to the side of it a little lower than the rings. The rings made the aircraft look very small in comparison! The aircraft had the normal flashing lights but didn’t see any other lights on the rings, I also didn’t see anything in front or behind the rings just the 2 rings that was Florissant green in color and a little hazy It was not moving too fast but no time to grab my phone to take a pic of it. I just said out load to my self “what the hell is that” twice and it went out of sight over the tree line in the back of my yard. Way to big to be any kind of drone of any kind or aircraft. I really can’t say what it was other something I never saw before in the sky that’s for sure! Afterwards I came I’m my house and got my phone ready in case I saw it again and waited a few minutes before I came back in the house and told my wife what I saw and asked her to see if anyone posted anything on Facebook or any other platforms she knew about. No posts at this time which somebody else had to see what I experienced!!

Standing in the front yard at my mothers after hearing a noise that drew me outside.

Three lights in a triangle shape on a craft I could see had a surface that connected the lights passed over my mother's house heading south. It was silent and large enough to block out the stars as it passed. I've never seen anything like it and I just learned of this site to report my sighting.

Saw an orb floating and making quick movements in the sky. Watched it move higher until it disappeared

I was walking home from class at Stetson Law in Gulfport FL. I saw a strange light floating. I thought it was a drone at first but it was so high in space. It did not move like any drone I’ve ever seen, it was hovering smoothly but would also make make sudden quick movements. I took my phone out because I knew no one would believe me. I am submitting now because I’ve seen numerous social media posts of the same orb activity occurring recently in the same areas.

I went outside. I always look around. And above the tree line behind my house.there was a rather large ball of light. Starting from the middle of the sky. It was white and fell to the ground it seemed. Very bright no sound around at all. It scared me. I still looked trying to figure this all out. The sky in the same direction seemed to kind of light up. Then I ran inside. But it was too quiet. Not even a bug could be heard. It was odd. I live close enough to an airport and naval base as well as airforce base but it wasnt a plane 100%. Can anyone else explain what I saw please?

White Tic-Tac object spotted over Gulfport, MS

I was driving to work that morning enjoying the early morning sky, I saw what at first I believed to be a Vapor Trail. Being that I live on the gulf coast ,USA near many military bases, NASA research centers and airports I paid no mind. However, as I continued upon my route the object I noticed it was moving in atypical aviation patterns. I am closely familiar with aviation capabilities (known) and come from a line of pilots and military personnel. This was different from anything I had ever seen. It seemed to change altitude effortlessly with no Trail or heat byproduct behind it. I observed it flying at an FL of 7-10 feet.. It appeared bright white throughout and had a longer body than width an almost looked like cigar with more rounded edges. I did manage to take a short video and 2 photos. The stability of the video is shaky from driving but clear. The reason I did not think it to be a known aircraft was its ability to change direction laterally with! ease.

Me and two of my friends were driving to another friends gone to attend a bachelorette party. On the way to the house right after we had turned down a secluded road surrounded by trees I saw a large triangle shaped aircraft flying in the sky just above the trees. I alerted my friends to the object and then we couldn’t see it for a second because of the angle from which we were driving and the trees because it was flying low right above the trees. After a few more seconds we were able to see it again and then my other two friends could see it. The object was flying low and slow paced almost as if it was flying at the same pace as the car we were in but it was big probably the size 2000 sq ft home if not bigger and there was no sound coming from it at all. There were what appeared to be three lights close together on the edge of the craft in the middle of the side we were looking at and appeared to be blinking lights on each corner of the side we were looking at. We watched it for about a minute as we continued to travel to the house right when we were making a turn to get to the house we could no longer see it. When we arrived we told the other people at the house of what we saw but they thought it was likely a military aircraft of some sort. But we knew it was definitely not a normal aircraft.

I was standing on my front porch out in the county. I saw a long oblong shaped craft, tilted on its side hovering with no noise moving laterally with a lot of silver flashing lights on the outside no other colors noticed.

Hovered for about 10 minutes at about a 1/4 mile up and disappeared.

Strange lights over large plum of smoke.

I was at dinner with my husband at a local Chilli's. It is off a major highway here, HW 49. On our way there, we saw a very large plum of smoke rising into the sky, like something massive was on fire. When we arrived I noticed it was still coming up from the ground, so I took a picture and sent it to my mother, asking if she had heard on the news of anything burning. She checked our local news website and found nothing, saying it might have been a controlled burn. When I looked at the picture I noticed a series of strange lights hovering over the smoke. Where we live there are no tall buildings, the tallest is 15 stories, and these lights were easily as high as some clouds. There is an airport close to this area, but behind where I am taking the picture from. The only thing in the area of the picture is a lot of woods and some small residential neighborhoods. The amount of smoke that was coming up looked like it must have been coming from a massive forest fire, or something similar, it certainly isn't what you would see with a house fire.

Having lived here my entire life, I have never witnessed airplanes flying this close together, some of these lights appear to be in a triangular formation, while others just contain two lights. There was also the absence of any blinking or red lights as most airplanes have. If you look at the photo and zoom in, to the left of the obvious bright series of lights, there are also some duller ones visible. I cannot readily explain what these are. Curiously there has still been no report of anything burning, or of controlled burns in our news.

Last evening, I went outside to smoke. I looked up I saw a orange ball. Flying from the east to west. As it came over my head. It was some sort of craft. With a orange glow FWD and AFT. All around as it passed over head.

It definitely had a blue flame. Much like the after-burners on a fighter jet. It made no noise. No noise. Commercial jets fly over head 35k you can hear them. It definitely had some sort propulsion engine.

As far as the size of this aircraft, it was 5 times the size of a commercial jet flying at altitude. I guess that's the best way to describe it. It looked like it was flying maybe 10,000 feet at the most. With no noise I just assumed it was much higher.

It was between 18:30 and 19:00

Circular brilliant green light shoots straight up near I10 and Canal Rd. exit....

I was standing on our back porch smoking last night, when I saw a flashing green/white light which was heading straight toward our home off Canal Road and Robinson Road.

As it came toward our home it went up and hovered which is truly what caught my attention as no plane that I know of here at Keesler AFB can do this maneuver without a sound.

The craft moved east then made a sharp turn then came back west..it was probably over I10 near the Canal Road Exit. As it turned and headed back east it began to flash red..it shot straight up flashing a brilliant green and that's when I yelled for my husband to come witness what I was seeing.

We stood there watching this light which had turned red once again going back and forth..east/west...for several minutes before finally turning white and heading straight up only to disappear into a cloud.

I searched all night but never saw it again.

I'm hoping to see it this evening and hopefully get some pics of it for everyone to see.

I was standing out on my patio I noticed what I thought was a satellite coming through, only it stopped next to a comet/star the other one took off at full speed in the opposite direction.

The main one stayed for about 3 more minutes then it took off as well then all the sudden you see a red light like a comet falling to earth.

Now with that being said On Oct 29th at this same time, I seen this same type of thing happen this object was flying lower no noise no identifiable marks no flashing lights just really bright lights like a plane it passed over the tree's in the backyard I followed to the other side of the tree's to watch it I seen a red light shoot out of it and the object then disappeared only to reappear once again and vanish altogether

Clear nights no air traffic in sight.

Soundless red LED/electronic like lighted bright light coming from The Gulf and heading rapidly to the east near Gulfport, Mississippi.

I was standing by our sliding door in our subdivision of WOODGLEN (Oakwood Drive) and my husband said to me "what the hell is that!" I came out the house and looked to my left (south, coming from the beach/Gulf) and a led-electronic type bright red light oblong in shape that was rapidly changing various shades of red. Absolutely NO sound. Moving quickly to the east. My husband thought it was a hot air balloon but it couldn't be because I use to live in Goshen, New York, where many hotair balloons flew overhead in early morning or early evening because of the updraft... and it seemed to be too late for that and there was no sound coming from the shooting flame. I believe it wound-up being too high for a balloon by the time it headed easterly.

I posted a photo of it on Facebook on my account there -- and it wouldn't show up red... just a bright blurry vivid-white light.

Circular aircraft casting green spiral light flying north from the gulf.

Driving on the I-10 east near the canal st exit, a circular strobing green light roughly 40 feet in diameter passed over the road. The aircraft was moving perpendicularly to the road. As it passed over the road the circular light strobed over the whole highway 2-3 times.

We then looked up toward the sky we saw a circular aircraft flying at an altitude of about 100-150 feet northbound. Very hard to describe the light, but it was very bright, when we then discussed it afterward, we both drew the exact same picture.

This light had a very particular shape and pattern to it that was clear to both of us.

Soft red glowing guitar pick shaped aircraft cruising at a slow pace heading nw in Gulfport ms. There was no audible exhaust and it was flying very low. It also had a soft orange/yellow burning circular glow in the bottom, almost like it was fire burning to make it operate. This glow also sometimes would go dim and bright again.

At 0400 on 07/13/12, I was returning from work, driving East on I-10. I noticed an extremely bright light in the sky, illuminating like a star but extremely low on the horizon toward Keesler AFB in Biloxi, MS. The description matches the posting on this sight that occurred on 05/19/12.

I arrived home approximately 10 minutes after I first noticed the light. It could still be observed in the sky. I watched it for approximately 20 minutes. It did not move.

My wife thought it might be a star but it was way too low on the horizon and seemed to generate its own light. Extremely bright-the brightest thing in the sky.

From my location, with my arm extended I made a crude attempt to measure the object utilizing my thumb and index finger.

The object was approximately a ½ inch from top to bottom. It has not been observed since.

persistent strange glowing star over Gulfport, Ms., each evening (first noticed February of 2012).

For over two months now, we have observed nearly every night a bright "star" low in the sky (in the direction of Courthouse Road -- looking from Oakwood Drive in the WoodGlen section of Gulfport. It is the first one to "burn through" on a cloudy night. It doesn't appear "natural" and I do not believe it to be-- as it always is in the same area (starting out at early evening, each night) and by now it certainly should have changed position after this many months. It is bright as if it is generating its own light. Later on, around 10-10:15 the next time we look (it is as if the moments we look away, it decides to move) it has moved lower towards some trees from our vantage point. Within a half hour later it is behind the trees. We go in around 11 pm to go to bed and as we head in to the house, we can see it is still "glowing" behind the trees.

We have the CB base in Long Beach and Keesler Airforce base and hope it is something protecting our GULF coastline that is American engineered!

I was driving on I-10 West bound and about to exit onto Hwy 49 South into Gulfport when I saw a bright multi-colored light streaking out of the sky appearing to be going down to the west of Gulfport.

Surely others had to have seen it. I it flared out and there was no explosion. I thought at first an aircraft of some sort was about to crash, but then it flamed out and acted just like a meteor. My question to you, is can a meteor show blue, red, green, and white colors? If so, then that's all it was. But I've seen a lot of meteors and never before have I seen anything like that.

Bright red/white light hovers over Gulfport, climbs rapidly, heads north, then east, the downward,

Bright red & white light, possibly cigar shaped, remained stationary overhead near Hwy 49 & Duckworth, Gulfport, MS, for approximately two minutes.

A C-130 entering the Gulfport pattern flew under it. I estimated the object’s altitude to be around 10,000’.

The object then rapidly ascended to into a hazy layer of the atmosphere, then headed north, rapidly, for about a minute.

The haze caused the object to appear as a ball, with the bright light still visible within the ball.

The object then turned east, and arced downward where it disappeared into the tree line. No explosion was evident.

The object never made any sound.

sitting in the woods at night with a friend i was biking with, a silver orb with a ring of different colored lights appeared

Me and my friend were out at the Desoto bike trails riding mountain bikes. When we got back to the car we were just relaxing in the air conditioning. The car lights were acting funny and kept shutting off every now and then. I noticed a small drop of light moving through the trees and was trying to figure out if it was a lightning bug or a plane, but I never could be sure. This was nothing compared to what we eventually saw. We got out of the car with our flashlights and we were just goofing around. All of a sudden, my friend calls my attention, “come here! look! Look!” I was completely spellbound by this object. I kept checking myself to make sure I was not crazy and we kept reassuring each other. I was very curious and without fear as the object swarmed around the tree tops. My friend was yelling at me to get back in the car because he was terrified. I don’t know what would have happened if I continued to welcome the craft. I did not feel like it wanted to do me harm, but I just felt overwhelmed. It seemed like the more I welcomed it, the more it moved towards me and became more noticeable. It was an orb with a revolving disc around it that was covered in lights, and it moved without any noise, and so elegantly. It was so intricate that it is hard to describe. It moved in all directions, stopping and changing speed. It even followed us out to the main road and stopped when we stopped and kept observing us. It was the most amazing experience I have ever had. I am not a crazy person. I know what I saw, but I don’t know what it was. I stared at it for long periods of time, and at one point it was in full view and it was just so unbelievable, but yet so real. But there were more than one. I saw three UFOs tonight. It seemed like it was responding to me somehow. I can’t explain it. All I know is that my eyes and mind are open and I am a believer. It was NOT a plane. It was NOT a hallucination. It was a UFO. I don’t know what to do. I am still in shock.

Bright Light in Gulf Coast Mississippi sky

Very bright bluish-white light at about 75 degrees elevation in the southeastern sky. I have seen many aircraft down here at night but this light was nothing like I have seen before.

Only saw light for approximately 5 seconds and then it dimmed into nothing.

There was no discernable movement.

Shape: Circle
Characteristics: Lights on object

Circular shaped object in Gulfport, MS. Appeared to have bright white lights around the 3 sides we could see.

My two daughters and I were returning home after skating on 02/06/08. As we turned onto our street we noticed a circular type open with lights on the three sides that we could see. It was very dark, but it obviously had lights that seemed to go around the object. It was low in the sky. Much lower then the height at which airplanes in the area normally fly. The object was in the sky to the Northeast. When we finally parked in the driveway we looked to the sky again and the object appeared to be moving toward the West. We listened closely to for a sound, but there was none. I would say at the time the object was about 3 houses away. So we would have heard the sound of engines if it were an aircraft. The object was flying very low, just above the tree tops. At this time my daughters and I ran into the house.

Bright Green Ball Falls From Sky (and other sightings)

I have been thinking of writing here for a long time now.. But just haven’t had the guts to put it into writing I guess lol.. But I guess since no one knows who I am.. I will contribute!! On my birthday, November 14, 2007.. I left work at 5pm. It was a really foggy night. I drove down Hwy 49 towards the beach in Gulfport and about 5 or 6 blocks from the beach, I saw a large green "fireball" shoot down from the sky and behind the Hancock Bank building - out of sight.

I know I wasn’t the only one to see this. It took my breath for a second and I looked around after it was out of sight and noticed that all of the cars around me had kind of hit their brakes as I did and slowed down a little.

This only lasted a couple of seconds and like I said, it was pretty foggy, but I could see it clearly. The fog just made the green glow around it brighter.

Tonight, December 4, 2007, my daughter just tells me that on her way home to Vancleave, she saw the same thing.

She said she and her boyfriend were driving home on O’neal road in Vancleave and they both saw what she described as "like a shooting star," but bright green.. And "way too big to be a shooting star."She said it fell straight down and sort of just disappeared.

I don’t know what it was, or have any kind of explanation for it, but it was amazing! I saw the same thing once before when we lived in Vancleave off of Jim Ramsey Rd. My daughter’s friend and I were so amazed at some lights that we saw in the sky (blinking red, green, yellow.. And moving in ways that normal aircraft don’t move) that we actually, at the risk of looking crazy, got lawn chairs and sat in the front yard and watched for hours. While we were out there, this bright green “fireball” shot down out of the sky and into the empty lot across the street and just seemed to disappear somewhere between ground level and tree level. We both grabbed onto each other and it just took our breath away! We looked at each other in disbelief.. Just like “did you see that too?” Needless to say, we didn’t sit out there very much longer.. We were both scared to death! There were other things there at that house as well.. A light shining straight down (like a search light from a helicopter is the only way I could describe it) onto the middle of my street. Dogs were barking out of control as well. I saw this outside of my kitchen window. There were street lights there, but they went off when the light shone down on the street (like when your headlights hit the street lights and they go off sometimes). It moved around a little almost like it was looking for something. If it had been a helicopter.. THAT close to the ground.. There WOULD HAVE BEEN NOISE!! I was in shock.. And called to my daughter who was on the phone. She took one look and told her friend on the phone that it was the “creepiest thing she had EVER SEEN” and said she couldn’t look anymore! And another night, I was sleeping and my daughter and a different friend walked outside and explained seeing something else odd.. My daughter said “have you ever seen a plane with so many lights?” and her friend responded, “have you ever seen a plane with so many lights flying so close to the ground?” and they both kind of got scared and took off for the front door. They said that by the time they reached the front door, the “thing” was directly over the house.. Moving quickly.. And not making a sound!! I have also read some of the other sightings in the area and can say that for quite some time, I have been seeing these “things” in the sky.. Distant, but not STAR distant. And they always have the same signature “yellow, green and red lights” flashing.

Sometimes they are in the same place, but other nights they have moved to different locations. I can usually see them outside of my house if I go out and look. A few nights ago, I watched one for about 30 minutes and then all of a sudden, it started to move like an airplane would.. Moved across the sky at a pretty fast speed, but no sound. And I can always hear the normal airplanes at even further distances here. And these things DO NOT MOVE LIKE REGULAR AIRCRAFT!!! Every time I see anything strange, I call whoever I can get to come and look.. I told them I didn’t want them to think I was “crazy” haha And every time, they see exactly what I see.. My daughter and my son, daughter’s boyfriend, my mother and my sister. Even an ex boyfriend whose dad is a pilot.. And he said he has seen strange things as well.

So.. Whatever they are.. I can just hope that one of these days I will KNOW for SURE!! And we are the typical family. I am a single mother of 2 teenagers.. I am an administrative assistant and my kids are good kids who make good grades in school. As a matter of fact, I told them it might be better to keep it in the immediate family so as not to seem “crazy” to people who have never experienced these kinds of things. =P Hopefully, in my lifetime, this can all be explained to me better than “flares” or “weather balloons” or “satellites”.

Shape: Sphere
Characteristics: Left a trail

Low flying luminous white sphere trailing white flames.

At the time my sighting happened I worked for a local television station. I was relieved by my replacement at midnight and after grabbing a cup of coffee headed home traveling north on HWY 53. About 5 miles down the road near a old peach orchard I noticed a light coming from behind out the driver window. I turned and was very startled at what i saw. Of course it was pitch black and distance can be hard to judge. A object was traveling in the same direction I was and would guess it was about a quarter mile away. It was at perhaps 3 times the height of the trees which are across a large open field. There were no obstructions to block my view. Out my window it appeared to be about the size of a silver dollar which if it were a quarter mile away would make it fairly large. I would like to say it was a sphere but since i only saw one side can only guess. It was perfectly round, white and luminous like a light bulb. It trailed white boiling flames behind which were about two or three times the width of the object long. In the night sky it really stood out. It was going maybe two or three times as fast as i was on a parallel course and disappeared from my view when the field came to a end and the trees were once again right next to the road. I was very shakened but soon convinced myself I just didnt understand what i was seeing. Two or so miles further I made a left turn onto Cable Bridge Rd to continue home and would take me across the objects flight path. Mind you this is just after midnight and i am use to not seeing any cars much less people. Just past a elementary school i passed a small house on my right. There were perhaps 3 or 4 people in their PJ's standing in their front yard scanning the night sky. I should have stopped but was tired and continued home. I did decide i would go to the peoples home one day during regular hours and trade stories. The next day i did write everything down and am fairly good with graphic art sor! ftware so made a crude short graphic film. Unfortunatly I kept! putting off stopping to talk to the people I saw in their yard. Within a month or so hurricane Katrina hit and their home was reduced to a pile of rubble. I had no idea where they went and will always regret not hearing their story.

Three spheres with lights underneath... all connected. Hwy 53, Mississippi. Turkey hunting.

Smelled smoke- like something was burning.

I was turkey hunting off Hwy 53. Just before it was dark I saw a craft lift up from behind some trees.

It had 3 spheres with lights under each sphere. They were connected in the middle.

It lifted up above the treetops and the spheres tilted and the ship slowly drifted away. I was close enough to know I've never seen anything like this before.

cluster of small red blinking lights that changed shape with each blink, no background

While driving home from work east on I10 at 5:50 pm, in Gulfport Mississippi, from the "Canal" exit to just before the Hwy 49 exit. I witnessed a cluster of red blinking lights. These lights blinked on and off. And with each blink the cluster appeared to change shape. It went from a vertical zig-zag, to an upside down v, to snake like line of red lights. The total size of the cluster was about as wide as the interstate. The size of each light was about the same as a red light on top of a tower. There was no visible shadow or background. It was a misty dark evening. The total cluster drifted from the north side of the interstate just above the tree line, to the south side, back again, then back to the south, it dipped down below the tree line, to slightly rise, to dip again. I got to a point where the trees cleared, and could not spot it again. Very uneventfull, but definately unidentifiable. I can be contacted at ((e-address deleted))

Photographs reveal disk-shaped object and spherical object over Mississippi Gulf Coast

My husband and I were taking pictures at the waterfront just before sunset. We actually didn't see the two objects until we pulled up the photos on the computer. I noticed the larger, disk-shaped object almost immediately on the computer screen. When I enhanced it and enlarged it, I also found a smaller, sphere-shaped object which appeared to be farther away. We had someone who works in surveillance look at the photograph and he could tell us nothing other than it was unidentifiable and that he didn't believe it was any type of conventional aircraft.

slow moving bright sphere, traveling due North. Object was followed shortly after by a dim red, much smaller object, traveling much faster, on almost the same course.

At 05:40, 7 sept 99, my attention was drawn upwards towards the sky by bright lights that illuminated the ground. The object was traveling due north. It was very bright (reminded me of a night shuttle launch), for several seconds, dimmed for 1 or 2 seconds and returned to it's original brightness. It dimmed out shortly after that. The object was about the diameter of a pencil, held at arms length. The length of sighting spanned 20 - 25 degrees of sky. I've seen space debris reentering -- this was moving slower than those and much slower than meteors. A few seconds after it disappeared, a single light crossed the sky, almost on the exact same path (5 degrees off), verred east and back onto it's original course. The second object was a dull red color. It was about the size of a pencil lead held at arms length. The object maintained its color and illuminosity for the duration of the sighting. The 2nd object crossed the sky from horizon to horizon, as if chasing the 1st object. The Gulfport Police Dispatcher reported several citizens called it in also.

Triangle UFO near Gulfport, MS 12/31/97

While walking her dog near the Gulfport airport, a woman noticed an isosceles triangular object high in the sky beyond a nearby line of pine trees. The underside of the object was covered in bluish-white lights. She began to run toward the trees, intending to get a better look on the far side, but the lights on the object immediately extinguished. She was then unable to see the object in the night sky. Distance from the witness and altitude were undetermined. Duration of the event was about 45 seconds.

NOTE: I received a letter from the witness on 07/16/00. I sent her a letter asking if she would like to file an offfical report with MUFON. Here is details from her account. I am a forty-five year old female who has had a life-long interest in UFO's since the age of five. On December 31, 1997 around 5:45 p.m. I was walking my dog. On one side of the street there were lots of pine trees, but I could see through their tops. I live near the airport so I know there is constant air traffic, so I glanced up twice at an aircraft before finally taking a longer look. The craft was like a triangle shape but each of the three sides were a different length, and the bottom of the craft was covered with blue-white lights, so it must be a UFO. I was looking at it through the trees but couldn't tell how big it was. I started running towards a clearing to get a better look and it was like it read my mind. As I started running all the lights on the craft went out and it was no longer in view. Everything around was still and quiet.

Shape: Chevron
Characteristics: Lights on object

Grouped lights in sky moving fast in a configuration of a chevron or partial diamond.

Late on the 3rd Saturday in July of 1978, I was awoken to find my sister, who was gathering her things planning on secretly going to visit her boyfriend. I said I would awake our grandfather if she didn’t take me with her. So we drove to what is near the downtown district of Gulfport and I waited in the back seat of the car. My sister spend nearly an hour talking to her boyfriend on his front porch and began kissing. Disgusted, I turned around to look outside the back window and noticed at least 9-12 (maybe more) lights flying together in a chevron/diamond shape. I got out of the car and watched it heading towards the beach/Gulf of Mexico. My sister comes down from the porch and asked me what I was doing and I pointed the sky, asking what the lights were. She ran to me and looked and as I returned my eyes to the sky it was gone. She said, jokingly that I had seen my very first UFO. I said no it’s not. I then began to tell my sister and her boyfriend an exper! ience I had the month before. I have since seen this light configuration 3 times since the first time. I cannot tell if it is a group of crafts or one big one. I have yet to see them separate; so, I assume at this point it is one craft.

Orb of light enters body, awake temporarily paralyzed, followed by prophetic visions and drawings

The evening before my very first 1st incident was on the roof of my grandparents’ home playing with a ham radio and a variety of wires and electrical devices I had collected; which, included a working, portable black and white television. I would often speak on the radio pretending to be a space captain traveling the universe searching for life forms to form a galactic community. The night became quite dark and I eventually crawled in through my bedroom window and went to sleep. I awoke later that night at 1:00 am and looked at my clock to see what time it was and quickly noticed a light growing brighter outside my window. I could see a glowing orb of light outside the window before the foot of my bed, from the East.

At first I thought it might have been my grandfather; but, I knew my window was too high from the ground to be able to see that.

I cleared my eyes and was able to see beyond the windows that this light was moving closer to the window and noticed that the air (the space) within my room appeared to increasingly ripple in place as this orb passed through the wall and stopped before the foot of my bed. Sitting up in my bed I could see the rippling space move closer to my body and enter, passing through me. At that moment I felt very week, and I passed out.

The following morning I awoke to find myself paralyzed and was not until nearly an hour was I able to move and slowly crawl down the hallway to the living room and climbed up on the couch. I was not sure what had happened, thinking I might be sick. I was supposed to have a sleep over at a friend’s house that night and decided not to tell my mother what happened. Later, as I was spending the night at my friend’s house I began to draw/color with crayons, pictures of what I thought the future would be like. My friend was very into a particular science fiction film and had nearly all of the figurine toys of the movie characters and play sets. I then began to draw pictur! es of the future films that were to come, explaining how certa! in characters would do things and new creatures we both had never seen. He disbelieved me of course; but, several years later I see the next two releases of this film and everything I drew came true. Creative coincidence or did the incident the prior night have anything to do with it? I have had many more experiences since that night over the past 30 years. Something happened; but, not sure if it was an alien, time traveler, spiritual experience or just sleep paralysis as I have often been told. If I could ever find that boy from 1978 I am sure he would remember that night and recall his own account of the drawings and story I had told him that night.

15 feet across, Egg shaped, Internally Glowing Very Bright, Briliant, SOLID RED Colored Objects slowly passes over street.

Six Bright, Brilliant, RED internally glowing Egg Shaped Crafts Hoovered & moved very slowly in single file formation with exact spacing of about 5-6 feet just above the tall pine trees that surrounded the street in front of my house. I was 10 years old at the time and was playing with my basketball when I looked down my street only to see what I just described. All six (6) crafts were only about 20 yards away, and only 30 feet above the ground, just above the tall pines. I stood motionless counting each craft (6 in all ) as they passed over and across the road. I will never forget that afternoon aaround dusk, as they were all such a brilliant radiant RED color that did not glow outwardly but instead was contained and with absolutly no noise. The whole incident lasted only about 30 - 45 seconds as they flew & disapeared over the top of the tall pines. I immediatly ran into my house to tell my Mother who was intertaining a guest at the time. My Mother played it off as a hoaks and comainded me to leave the house while she intertained her guest. Ever sense that day I have been totally inquizitive with the whole phonamena of UFO's. I DO BELEIVE! I now live in the Fort Lauderdale area and have tried to stay on alert for more UFO's to no avail. I know now that nobody can relate to what I experienced that clear beautiful afternoon in Mississippi unless they saw it for themselves. E-mail me if you have had the same experience. I am interested in going public with my story.
