I stepped outside since I heard a faint yelling; once I was out I observed a giant bright blue orb with a aura around it falling

A big blue orb with aura bright enough to illuminate the surrounding sky around it the color light to intense blue from it. It went in a straight direction, going downwards towards the ocean and lighting up the sky and then disappeared behind the tree line of the woods. Only one object was observed as an orb or sphere with a blue glow/aura surrounding it but with no comet tail. I was standing on my back porch looking towards the sky and tree line

Angle of Elevation: 25
Closest Distance: Several miles, if not farther
Estimated Speed: Helicopter LIKE, but very seldom fighter jet like
Characteristics: Lights on object

Light in the night sky moving, dimming out and then reappearing suddenly in a different location

It was an orange glow, light, in the night sky. It was lower in the night sky over the period of several months, we have been seeing it since July the 4th where it seemed to be over the Beau Rivage in Biloxi. We've checked flight paths, we have observed it to see if maybe it was some sort of aircraft and we genuinely cannot explain it. We= my wife and I. It would appear, dim out slowly, then reappear in a different location. Sometime it would move at the rate or a helicopter, or other slow moving aircraft. It is NOT a helicopter or other slow moving aircraft. We do have an airforce base in the area, but this is not traffic from them that we can tell. I have previous experience working with helicopters on a regular basis, as well as fixed wing aircraft. This craft, whatever it is, has exhibited some pretty freaky movement from time to time. Unlike any aircraft I've ever seen.

I’m at a football game, marching band, it’s halftime, and a scalene triangle with bright lights and a red dot in the center appeared in the sky, we noticed it appear, then it disappeared a few seconds later, our suspicion grew throughout the night and the lights were too odd to be a normal aircraft.

Shape: Orb
Characteristics: Aircraft nearby

Green orb object burned out in mid air and vanished.

Me and three friends were fishing on the Ocean Springs harbor pier at Front Beach. This pier faces south towards the Mississippi sound and into the Gulf of Mexico. Nearby areas of interest include Keesler Air Force Base. In which alot of airforce activity has been taking place day and night for the past few days, mainly consisting of C-130 Transport planes. The time was around 9:30 PM as we were fishing when me and one of my friends caught a glimpse of a green orb object travelling in a west-to-east at an estimated 65 degrees south of us in the night sky from where we observed it.

The object was travelling at a high rate of speed and as it passed it appeared to be moving in a loose zig zag pattern, after it passed us it appeared to change trajectory more downwards, when suddenly what can best be described as a "flame-out" occured, in which the object was briefly covered in flames and appeared to burn out before vanishing in thin air. The object made no sound and not much light reflection, no trail or exhaust was observed.

They looked like floating lights, but as we got closers they got bigger and started turning.

We thought is was a drone but as it got in front of the moon, it had no outline or shadow.

Shape: Light


Around 7 orange lites, 3 of which were flying in a rectangular formation.

Don't have much time as I'm going to bed! Took the dogs out and saw what I initially thought were three helicopters flying in a somewhat triangular formation. Didn't notice any flashing lites, though. Just orangish lites probably 3 - 4 miles (estimate) to the northeast. Objects were coming from the east. Was curious so I went in to get my cellphone but too far away for a pic. Saw more coming from the same direction, but not in formation. Just one after another. Went back in to find binoculars and viewed only one. No flashing lites at all, just an orange light. All objects seemed to be going in what may have been a clockwise motion. They came from the east, rotated to the northwest, the disappeared to the north-northeast (possibly into the clouds/haze. I'm estimating there may have been 7, but possibly more. May not have been an "alien" ufo, but pretty definitely not airplanes/helicopters (also I listened for, but heard no noise). Also, based on their "flight" pattern, I don't think they were Chinese lanterns and they were not falling as flares would fall. Anyway, this is the first time I've filed a report. (But sometime I will tell you an interesting story about a UFO in Indiana around 1982. Includes a military conference call that included a general and some interesting comments from our control tower at Grissom AFB in Peru Indiana.)

Bright cigar-shaped object, bright silver and white color flying at backyard fence level, quickly ascended over pine trees

Approximately 16:30, a bright, glowing, cigar-shaped (cylinder/rod-like) object observed from my bathroom window. It was silver and white color traveling east toward my house.

It flew over my fence approximately 8 feet from ground level.

It quickly turned due north over the pine trees and became quickly invisible.

Event duration was only seconds.

I immediately went outside for further observation and there was an ozone-like odor (post-rain shower smell) in the area of the occurrence.

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object

Dark Triangle hovering north of interstate highway

At about 0830 PM, I was driving east on Interstate 10 between Biloxi, Ms. and Pascagoula, Ms. I noticed an unusual row of lights ahead, low on the sky, and north of the interstate highway.

Since I am a helicopter pilot, I found these lights peculiar for any operating aircraft to exhibit. These lights did not move and I quickly gained on them. Arriving abeam, I clearly observed a dark shaped triangle, darker than the night sky. The object was stationary, approximately 400 Feet of altitude, and less than a mile north of the highway.

Due to traffic congestion, my attention was divided and therefore I was unable to fully scrutinize this object. Perplexed about what I had just seen, I drove on and subsequently lost sight of it. Hindsight, I wish I had found a place to pull over for further observation.

Spotted a possible UFO near a baseball field.

I was walking my dog around the baseball field that is down the road from my house. The field is dark since it is night time of course, but as i got to walking him i looked up at the sky, there were no clouds in the vicinity and the moon was shining.

I saw what appeared to be a jetliner's lights in the sky, the regular flashing strobe lights that you see on them at night. I looked over to what i would like to say was due east of my position when i saw the UFO. It was night so i couldn't actually see the craft, all i saw were the lights on it. The lights were in a row, i guess the closest resembling shape of the light system would be that of a police lightbar.

There were white, amber and red lights on this "light strip" that i saw in the sky. The object did not move, it was stationary in the sky, and from what i could judge it was fairly high up in altitude.

Strange lights - NO Way a man-made craft

I saw a light in the sky that wasnt very far away and it was an orange-ish color and it was small at first and then it got really big. I said "WOW, what was that?". My Mother was driving and asked "what" and I said "a weird light". It went out of sight for about 30 seconds. We turned the corner and went toward the beach when we both saw four lights in a row, the same orange-ish color(the color of a street lamp) and they slowly faded one by one like it was rotating. At first my Mom thought it was a plane but the lights completely disappeard and then reappeared instantaneously a very good distance away. Too fast to be a man-made craft. Then I didnt see it for a minute or so. We drove down to the beach and I looked up and saw a small, very distant light (it was the size of the stars) in the sky which abrubtly turned around and did like a bell-shaped turn in the other direction, changed to a red color and then disappeared quickly. It was a clear night with no clouds. The starts were very vivid in the sky. We've never seen anything like this and it was too coincidental to see two strange things in the sky within minutes that seemed to be relatively thousands of miles apart.

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object

The object was triangle in shape and had two white lights in the front and several in the back.

Was walking home from my cousin house around 8:00 PM when I came to the foot trail that we had used for many years. At the entrance to the trail was and still is today a security light, as I got close something told me to look up as I did I saw a triangle shape object about 12 feet or so moving very slowly North above the tree tops and making no sound what so ever. This object had two white lights on either side and appeared to be black in color as far as the size I would have to say it was huge, as I was amazed to see something that big and moving as slow as it was. I watch it for about a second or so and ran back to get my cousin. When we both got back outside we were looking at the back in, it have several very bright white light in the back maybe five or six and was still moving very slowly toward the north. We watch it for about 5 min or so until it was out of sight. We contact the local Air Force Base to enquire about what we had seen, but did not get any answers.
