3 chasing and dancing non blinking white lights

Was working outside in Belden, open field near airport looking East. As I was attending to equipment I was looking off to the sky as I do from time to time, sometimes I can catch sighting of a shooting star or satellite. While looking off into the distance I see two bright white lights seem to be on approach as if they we heading to the airport in Tupelo, only problem was they were heading East to West. I thought to myself this could be a plane, but there were no blinking beacons that I could see. The two objects were nearly side by side getting brighter, then they both went vertical in a spiral action eventually converging to one light, and then dissappear heading South. Shortly after seeing this I saw a third light show up just below where the other lights converged, this one heading toward the South and vertical and then fade away, circle back and North, fade back to bright light, fade back to near black seemingly circling where the other lights disappeared. I dropped what I was doing and ran to my coworker on another piece of equipment and asked him to verify what I was witnessing. As my coworker came around the piece of equipment he too saw this light circle up and around fading in and out (Not blinking) as if it were circling around something in the sky. We both were perplexed by this and decided to ask our supervisor if they have witnessed any anomaly in the distance like this in the past. Our supervisor mentioned it could be the Boys from Columbus AFB playing around but did mention that it seemed odd and out of the ordinary for them to use landing lights in mid-air to chase one another.

Triangle shape of lights in Northwestern sky one part of Mississippi

I arrived home and I live in the county so pretty much dark other than a yard light, but as I was coming down the drive I saw a trianglar shape with a blue/white light at the top and green lights in each corner with yellowish lights in the middle of the triangle. This was to the Northwest corner of my house and appeared to be over a small farm pond that is on my property about a quarter of a mile down the hill from my home. The object just sat there, didn't move at all that I could tell and I was scared to death of this, I have looked into the night skies lots of times and my son has pointed out various things in the sky for me with his telescope and with the naked eye, but I have never seen anything like this before. I didn't move and it didn't either, for about 15 minutes, then all at once it shot straight up and was gone from my view in a minute. I sat there a few more minutes and then opened the garage door and drove in and quickly shut it behind me.!

I am a nurse at our local hospital so consider myself sane most of the time, and always look for logic in any situation, but this has none...logic tells me that it was not a plane or a helicopter or a planet. I then got on the internet and found this website and then ACTUALLY called the number and spoke with a gentleman who told me to file a report which I am doing, alert the media, which I just spoke with the local PD to see if anyone else had a similar experience, all the PD wanted to know was what I was doing out that time of morning to see lights in the sky...so media stops there..really wish someone could give me a logical answer as to what it was that was in the sky last night, and hopefully tonight when I go home I will be alone, don't care to see that again!

Floating plane spotted, then vanishes.

We were on the bus riding home from school. As we passed the warehouses down the road from the school, I looked outside and I notice that there was a 2 engine private jet just floating in the air.

I alert my 2 friends, and they look at it puzzled. We pass by it and we turn around. To make sure what I saw was real I turned back around, then it was gone.

Strange Lights In Tupelo

While we were walking our dog outside the apartments I noticed a sphere like object to the north of Tupelo traveling at a high rate of speed followed by some sort of aircraft with blinking lights trying to follow the object. I followed it across the sky for about 10-15 sec. and then it was gone. Also noticed two weeks before a strange object in the sky to the west of Tupelo.

Tupelo woman has daylight sighting

I was waiting at a traffic light on South Gloster street, south of Tupelo, about 1230 hours CDT when I glanced above the light at a large "Chemtrail". As I observed the trail, just below it appeared a very bright sphere or disc. At first it was stationary, then moved a short distance to the east, changing to a darker shade as it moved, then just disappeared. I continued to my home where I reported the event to my husband.

UFO over Tupelo, Mississippi ????

On the afternoon of (Not sure of date) I observed what appeared to me as many aircraft flying a checkerboard search pattern, or so the contrails indicated.

The next thing I saw, was a single contrail going from the lower right to the upper left, only to terminate in what seemed to be a small cloud.I then observed a object that seemed to be tumbling down, but not falling strait down but on an steep angle.In about 5 seconds I realize it was a airplane. I then observed what I thought to be a single bright light above and to the left of the small cloud. It seemed to be motionless. I later called the Columbus, MS Air Force base to inquire into what had accrued, and was told nothing was happening over Tupelo, MIssissippi!...

My daughter and I witnessed 3 brightly-lit craft just west of Tupelo, Ms. near Belden Truckstop. One left a trail, then one disappeared

I am reporting this for friends of the family, a mother(age mid-forties) and daughter (age 20) were traveling just west of Tupelo, Ms. at approx. 17:30 in the afternoon on highway 178 or McCullough Blvd. near Belden truckstop when witnessed 3 disc-shaped craft above the horizon or treeline. Their vantage point was overlooking a low bottom to the northwest. The sky was a beautiful azure blue, and the daughter had just commented that it (the sky) looked like a huge lake. Just then, they saw the 3 craft, which did not seem to be moving, but was unsure due to the distance. They appeared to be lit up or reflecting sunlight. After viewing them for a few minutes, one of then dis- appeared before their eyes and, driving on, lost sight of the others.

Cruise type missle seen in civilian airspace

I was waxing my pick-up in the afternoon when I heard a slight whistling sound. Just as I looked up, I observed a long cylindrical missle-type device at approx. 600 feet. It was traveling from WNW to ESE, in a line with Columbus Air Force Base. I came in the house and drew a picture of what I had seen. It had no discernable markings and had small stabilizers near the tail. In 1991-92 during the Gulf War, I saw a Cruise Missle that looked exactly like the device I saw. I then dawned on me that a guided military device had no business in civilian airspace.

Characteristics: Aura or haze around object, Left a trail

The object was a football shaped object with no lines it had a pulsating green haze and a trail of green light.

It happened back when I was in high school. There were four of us ridding in my car down the Natchez Trace Parkway just in front of the Visitors Center. It was just getting dark out and on the tree line 75 yards ahead of us a football shaped object with no lines sort of like a teardrop but with two points. It had a green pulsating glow and a green trail of haze. It came from the east side of the tree line to the west tree line. The object was moving to slow to be a plane and we were close enought to tell the it had solid mass and the shape of a football. The size was about the size of a standard passenger car. We turned our car around and went home. I never saw the object again.

Shape: Egg
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object, Missing Time

Very bright egg shaped object and some missing time.

In 1989, at the age of 18, I left my house to go to the store.

I remember leaving the house but do not remember reaching the store.

I have a hazy memory of stopping at a house along the way and going inside a dark room.

The next thing i remember is that i am back in my car almost half way home on a 2 lane road.

I have one hand on the steering wheel, and the other hand on the radio.

I was just topping a hill or rise in the road. I looked up from the radio and saw an egg shaped object.

It was about 500 feet in front of my car and about 300 feet above the road.

It made no sound and glowed like a very bright lite bulb.

It was so bright I could barely see through the lite.

It looked like a polished alluminum egg, about half the size of my house, with a very bright glow all the way around it.

I only saw it for about 2 or 3 seconds, before it shot off to the right side of the road right above the trees.

It was gone in about 1/2 a second. I have never saw anything move that fast again.

I told my family when i got home but no one realy beleved me.

I later went back to where i thought i had stoped at the house with the dark room but could not find it.

Tupelo man observes cigar-shaped craft

At approx. 8:30 Pm in the evening, I had just returned home from the grocery store. As I started into the house, for some reason, I turned and looked up into the starlit sky and caught sight of a cigar-shaped craft. My first impression was, that i was seeing a conventional aircraft fuselage, but it had no wings or tail and was completely silent. I could see round windows or portholes in the craft as it traveled from east to west. I grabbed my binoculars by the door and was able to observe the craft for another 3 seconds before it disappeared over the house.

As I sat in my car with my small daughter in the evening at my residence in Tupelo, Ms, a disc-shaped craft was observed moving swiftly from south to north. My little daughter saw it first coming from the south and pointed it out to me, then I observed it for about 4 seconds to the east of our position. It appeared to be approx. 1000 ft. high. I was 30 years old at that time.

School Teacher observes large Oval craft near Tupelo

Driving into Tupelo early one morning on Hwy.6 approaching the Bissell community, I observed a very large oval craft just above the trees trav- eling from north to south. It was dull aluminum in color, made no sound, and left no trail. I was taking my baby daughter to daycare before going to work as a school teacher. I was terrified and pulled over to watch. The craft finally went out of sight and i resumed my journey. I called Columbus Air Force Base, and they said they were'nt interested. I had never seen such a craft before, but when i related the sighting to my family, they treated me shamefully and said i must be crazy!

12 year old Girl and family sees Disc over high-power lines

I am reporting this for a friend. When she was 12 years old, she lived NE of Tupelo with her parents. On a sunday evening, she witnessed a disc-shaped craft hovering over high-power lines near their house. It was stationary above the lines for about an hour. It had a dome on the bottom, with soft lights running around the perimeter of the craft. She thought at the time these might have been windows, but in retrospect, could have been running lights.
