I walked out back, looked up, saw an object moving across the sky in an orbital pattern. I pulled out my phone and took video

At 8:12pm on June 26 2023 I walked out side to my back yard and saw an object moving across the sky in an orbital pattern. I noticed that this object appeared to be lower than the ISS when it passes over which led me to grab my phone and record video. The object moves across the sky and eventually moves beyond my sight. I have I video of the event. I’m only reporting this because I checked the position of the ISS and it could not have been the ISS I also check into starling satellites and it appears to be different than those.

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object

Low flying triangle craft with triple lights and ring of light making a loud droning hum over my house.

I was out on my balcony, smoking a cigarette, when I heard a loud droning noise above me. I looked out to see an extremely low flying craft, only a couple hundred feet up, going too slow to be a jet or a plane. It had three lights at each of the points of the triangle, and a ring in the center of them that pulsed softly. The lights were pure bright white, like a pure light LED, and though I couldn't tell what color the ship was, it was clearly a dark triangle. It was heading northeast, towards a patch of woods.

I stood frozen for what seemed like forever (20 seconds or so), then went inside to get my partner. We came back out to see it make a turn and glide over the trees heading west, then disappear.

About twenty minutes later we saw it go back towards the east and disappear into the distance.

I saw a triangular UFO with red and white lights while driving on Hwy 98 in Perry County, MS.

This is the third time I've seen this UFO. I was driving alone again in Perry County, MS, on Hwy 98. It was triangular with red and white lights. Some lights were blinking.

I saw it in the distance and sped up to get a closer look. It disappeared behind some trees. It reappeared again shortly after, but closer and to my left.

I was going slowly and could observe the way it flies. It can move upward almost vertically. Like in a straight line, nose up, and rather slowly. It can also change directions quickly.

It soon disappeared behind the treeline again.

I saw a triangular UFO with red and white lights while driving on Hwy 98 in Perry County, MS.

This was my second time seeing this UFO. I was driving alone on Hwy 98 in Perry County, MS. The first several times I drove this road after the first sighting, I was on the lookout. I noticed some lights in the distance and they seemed to be the same as the UFO I saw previously. I sped up to get a closer look, but they disappeared behind the trees.

After several more moments of driving, I saw it again in the distance, but closer. I sped up until i was right beside it. It was going the same direction and speed as I was, right above the tree line.

I pulled over on the side of the road to get a better look and maybe take a picture. Once I stopped, in a matter of seconds, the aircraft turned around and began going in the opposite direction. Once I could no longer see it, I continued driving.

While driving, I saw the craft again, but in my mirrors. It appeared to be trailing behind me, but slowly at a distance, as if trying to be discreet. I started to pull over again, but it ducked behind some trees.

I continued driving. Roughly 10 min later, I arrived home. When I stepped out of my car, I turned around to see the aircraft hovering a bit above a parking lot/building. As soon as I saw it, it began moving away.

The aircraft is triangular in shape with red and white lights.

I saw a triangular UFO with red and white lights while driving on Hwy 98 in Perry County, MS.

I was with my boyfriend, Driving on a long stretch of highway 98 in Perry County, MS. We saw light go across the sky, left to right. Didn't think much of it, assumed it was a plane. We continued to see these light pass back and forth across the road, at a distance, several times.

Eventually, it seemed to align with the road and for a moment we thought it was a plane emergency landing, since it was a long, straight strip of highway. But instead, it seemed to kind of hover then cross the road again. The last time it appeared, it crossed the road very slowly and low to the ground. This was the first time we got a good look and realized it was definitely not a normal airplane. It was kind of triangular in shape. It had some white lights, and a blinking red light. It went very slowly, like barely faster than a hover, and eventually disappeared behind the tree line.

As fast as it happened it was gone.

My wife said she saw it earlier about 15 min prior but could not explain it. We walked around the house and we saw it again but it was in the front of the house over the trees. It just flashed really bright like a flashbulb. I know it was not an aircraft there was no sound.

Bright large red fireball moving SW over West Hattiesburg, MS. May 25, 2013 at 9:10pm.

The sighting was in west Hattiesburg, Ms. It was on Saturday May 25, 2013 at close to 9:10pm.

While parked facing West in “to go” parking of Olive Garden, I saw the extremely large extremely bright fireball moving to the SW approximately 35 degrees above the horizon. The object looked massive and was similar color as a flare from a flare gun but much, much larger and much, much brighter.

The object appeared to be moving slowly across the sky to the horizon behind trees.

The object was similar in color and likeness to a red flare.

The object appeared to get smaller as it reached the horizon. This made me think that the object was much farther away than it appeared to be. I steadily watch the ISS on a regular basis and this object was moving maybe a little faster across the sky but, much, much larger and brighter than the ISS.

By the time I saw it and I realized I was seeing something unusual, I got my video sport camera from my truck and just caught a few final seconds of the object on video.

Strange craft covered in lights split into two parts

While driving over the Leaf River bridge (a popular site for UFO sightings, and the boundary between Petal and Hattiesburg, Mississippi) at about 9:00 PM one Sunday night in late January or early February, I noticed a triangular group of lights in the sky. I was heading west, and the object seemed to be moving in a south-easterly direction. At first I thought it was a radio tower or something similar, but I soon realized that the lights were moving very slowly. As I came closer to the object I could see that it was cross-shaped and very thin and flat. It seemed to have triangular pieces connecting the wings to the tail. There were several red and blue lights along these connecting pieces, and they flashed on and off in a chasing pattern. The craft also had white lights on the nose, tail, and wings. It seemed to be about the size of a small one or two person plane. The craft moved very slowly and seemed to drift from side to side as it flew. At one point it began moving in small circles.

After a few minutes the object stopped in midair, and it seemed that one of the wings detached itself from the rest of the craft and drifted away from it as if it were a smaller pod or shuttle craft. It had only one single white light on it. This smaller craft hovered near the main object for a moment, and then both crafts began moving away in the same direction. I do not know if they parted ways later, as they were now flying away from my car and I did not feel safe stopping to watch them as I was alone and in a bad part of town. There were very few people around at the time, so I do not know if there were any other witnesses to the event. I told my boyfriend about it later that same night, and told my mother at a later date, but I do not think that either of them believed me. Also, there are two military bases and a small airport within a short distance of the area where this occurred, but I do not believe that what I saw that night was a military or commercial craft.

I would like to bring something to your attention. You might already know this.

Recently while looking at the night sky I noticed what appeared to be a star fluctuating between red and blue twinkles. I am no astronomy buff, but I recognize mars and I can recognize a star generally.

My and my father's reaction was alike, we both seemed to notice this 'star' on the same night, and notice how it did not appear to have the usual colors of a star, plus its 'twinkle' was disproportionate to the other stars in the sky that night, as well as other stars I had seen in the past.

It was in the Southern sky, at about a 35 degree angle from the ground. I have noticed a similar object in the eastern sky as well. Generally these objects tend to be the lowest 'star-like' objects in the horizon, which leads me to believe that it IS in fact a star, and that the swirling of the atmosphere appears more intensely upon the starry sky background when it is lower in the horizon, rather than when one looks straight up. Despite this simple explanation, this object could be easily mistaken for something unusual. Just thought I'd offer this as a theory in case similar sightings had been reported but not substantiated as having an alien basis.

thanks for reading




NUFORC Note:

Probably a sighting of the star, "Sirius." Witness indicates that the date of the incident is approximate. PD

Triangular Object - Silent - No lights - Low Flying - Light colored markings on underside

On 11-19-03 at 10:41pm central time, me and a friend were standing behind the house we were at. We had gone outside to look for falling stars as it was a very dark and clear night. The moon wasn't very bright and I don't think it was anywhere near where we were looking.

We were talking about UFOs and such, all of a sudden in a completely coincidental and serendipitous moment, a triangular object came into our field of vision. We were standing close to the house, so it appeared to come from over the rooftop and then flew in a straight line from south-east to the north-west. I was only able to see it for about 5 seconds as it flew over the tree line behind me. There were tall pine trees all around me and the object was about 2 to 3 times the height of the tree top level.

There were no visable lights and it was completely silent. At first my brain thought I was seeing a falcon gliding or a hang-glider, because of the speed, height, and smoothness of the way the object was flying. but we quickly realized it was a large object like a craft or something. It was too slow to be plane, too fast to be a blimp. It appeared to defy gravity. It was so quiet i could hear everything around me. the slight hum of the street lights, etc. You WOULD NOT have seen this thing unless you just happened to be looking at the exact spot that we were looking at at that exact moment. It was a one in a trillion shot! It was so dark, as was the sky that night, so it was very well camoflauged. I say triangular, but i could only make out 2 sides of the triangle in the dark sky, so I don't know how the back of the object was shaped. It could have been a triangle or a diamond. The back was just too dark to see anything.

I had the feeling it was a top secret military craft that was maybe on a test flight just to see if anyone would report seeing something that night. I wouldn't be surprised if I was the only one in the city to see it that night. I just happened to be looking for something at just the right time in the right patch of the sky. But it had white or light-colored markings on the underside, they were on the left and the right side. They were symetrical, about 4 or 5 white spots or streaks running down the left and right side. They seemed to defeat the purpose of hiding the craft, but they were on there non-the-less. I am including a sketch.

Bright, red pulsing object in the north eastern section of the sky.

On 18 July, 2001, at approximately 0445hrs my supervisor and I were on duty at a location approximately 15 miles south of Hattiesburg, MS. We were standing outside of our patrol vehicles. My supervisor called my attention to a "bright star" low in sky to the north east. Upon seeing this very bright, red twinkling object I first thought that it was a planet, then the object faded out and disappeared. We thought that maybe a cloud had passed in front of this object that we were still assuming was a planet or star, although the night was relatively clear as one could plainly see the cresent moon. Approximately five minutes later, this object reappeared at what appeared to be a higher altitude and began to slowly become very dim and then very bright, as if someone were playing with a dimmer switch on a light bulb. I retrieved a pair of 10 by 25 binoculars that I keep with my duty gear and again looked at the object. Through the binoculars, three seperate objects could be seen in a tight triangle formation. By this time, around 0500hrs, vehicles were passing by our location, but noone elese seemed to notice the object, as it looked like a "normal" star unless one watched it for a few minutes and noticed it's strange behavior. At dawn, around 0530hrs, the object seemed to stabilize at a constant brightness and ended the pulsing effect. At 0545hrs, with sufficient sunlight, when looking at the object through my binoculars, the three lights were still distinct, although now they were a bright white color, with what appeared to be some sort of solid object behind them, visible only through the binoculars. At this time, the moon and this object were the only visible objects in the sky, but by this time, if one did not know where to look, one would probably not notice it. By 0600, with the glare of the rising sun, the object was no longer visible. I have six years of law enforcement/security experience, with many nights being spent on the overnight shift. I, nor my supervisor, who has over ten! years e xperience, have never seen anything like this object. I have seen satellites and had an astronomy course in college and do not remember studying any know heavenly objects visible from earth that act in this manner. Approximately six months ago I did see something similar but dismissed it as an aircraft or figment of my imagination because it only lasted a few seconds.

I was watching the sky when over head I saw a Black spherical object pass over.

I was sitting in the parking lot waiting for my mother and wife to come out of the store. The seat was laid back so I could relax and look at the sky at the clouds moving. They were moving back and forth changing directions a lot. While I watched a BLACK sphere passed over head. I could see no wings and there were no markings that were visible. No con trail could be see either. After watching it for about 6-10 seconds it disappeared in the cloud bank I had been watching. I am used to seeing plenty of air craft in my area but this is something I have never seen before. So I thought of you guys.

Sensation of loud noise, crash, and time stopping

This is not an account of seeing a UFO, but of something that occurred that is just as peculiar.

When I was a young child, my family was driving down Hwy 49 S in MS towards the Gulf Coast. About two hours into the trip, I heard a loud noise and had the sensation that we were being hit by a semi-truck. At that point, time seemed to stop. However, there was actually no "real" noise that I know of, and we were not in an accident, as I had felt.

As soon as I felt things return to normal, everyone in the car (there were five of us) turned to each other and asked "what just happened?". Everyone in the car had felt the same thing I had.

I remember my parents were somewhat concerned about feeling like time had stopped and immediately checked the clock, but it was the time it should have been.

Can anyone give an explanation for what could cause this sensation? It has been a long time, but it still perplexes me. It would be nice to finally have a reason behind this phenomen.

cigar-shaped white mettallilc object with four red and green lights positioned beside it - seen in daylight

I had entered this report with the wrong time earlier. It was in the afternoon and I should have put 17:00 for the time instead of 5:00.It was in the afternoon and my friends and I were outside visiting and just enjoying the beautiful day. One of us noticed a very bright white metallic low in the sky, but above the light poles. We all just stood and stared at it and tried to make sense of it. We thought it had to be a weather satellite gathering data. It was shaped like a cigar and had four small red and green lights, positioned on its "corners," one above and to the left, one above and to the right, one below and to the left, and one below and to the right. These small lights would take turns darting out for a few seconds and then reposition themselves by the bright white metallic cigar shaped object. The larger object was metallic, but it looked unlike any metal we had ever seen. It was so bright.

We watched as all four of the small colored lights repositioned themselves at the same time beside the cigar shaped object, and then what happened next made us decide it could not be something from the earth. It shot up and away at a 45 degree angle at an unbelievable speed. It was there one moment, and then it was gone.

We saw this in broad daylight, and it is as clear in my mind today as it was that day in the spring of '77.

three lights in triangle shape bright flashing and incredible movement

Fall of 1974, I was doing school homework in my bedroom (across the hall from my parents room). My mother always looked at the sky before closing her bedroom curtains at night each evening. On this night, she called me to look at something in the sky that she thought was strange. I crossed the hall and looked out her window and saw three lights, triangular shape with one light at the top and two on the bottom, drifting slowly across the sky. I told her it was a jet, but she said "no, they were doing something strange a moment ago". A minute later, the lights stopped moving and then began to flash (white flash) one at a time with the brightness of a flashlight right in your face. The lights began to flash faster and then they suddenly moved at three different angles at an incredible rate for which I know of no craft that could do this. Then the lights suddenly moved straight up and disappeared.
