I was standing behind the Fire Station on Brunswick Rd and was looking up in the sky and saw a bright light that was flashing slowly (approximately 1 sec on and 3-5 sec off) the light was holding positions so I thought it was a satellite or high altitude plane. It was vary high and the light was not like the white strobe on the underside of a plane. The the light started moving towards the east and would pause then make a vary short fast movement to the south. I looked for con trails coming off it and saw none. It just would make a fast movement then hold still then move again. The light had to much altitude to be a helicopter and no noise was being made. I observed the light and compared it to the plane that was flying past the station going to MEM (probably landing on RW18L or 18C) and the plane beckon was noticeably faster between flashes and much closer and I could hear the engine of the plane. After about 7-10 minutes the light was gone, I then searched the sky for it to appear again and it did not. I did not have my phone so I could not take a picture of it ( not that it would do any good because of the distance of the light)

I was outside in my car and my daughter came outside to bring me something when we looked directly to the sky and noticed a bright light that I thought initially was an airplane. It was going in and out. You could see the bright light then it would start to dim and then it disappeared. I watched it a few times and I thought it may have been clouds covering and then it emerging from those clouds causing it to seem to dim and then increase in brightness. No. It NEVER moved. It was in the same spot. Other planes around it moved but this one just stayed in the same position. It wasn't covered by clouds either. So it actually WAS dimming and then getting brighter, disappearing and reappearing minutes later in the same position. This wasn't an airplane. It wasn't a drone or satellite because they move. It wasn't a star because they don't do that at least not that noticeably or as quickly as it was happening. I had my husband and my son come see the light. I actually had a neighbor who was walking by at the time and she stopped and watched with her mouth open too. Two other neighbors were outside on the balcony also looking at the object once they noticed that we were filming it. I got a video.. a few. Anyone who can tell me what this is or if they've had the same experience please let me know. This was the most amazing thing I have ever witnessed.. but sadly it's the first time and possibly the only time I will get to. I am pretty pessimistic about aliens or UFO existence but THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED!! It was.. so incredibly strange. I can't explain.

The past year has been very surreal. We moved into an old plantation house in the middle of a cotton field.I have documented several ORBS on my phone shadows of people moving through the house, I have caught tons of orbs outside and triangular formation that looked like 3 separate crafts and they hovered in the same spot and came straight down to eye view of me with a cloudy haze surrounding them, as if to disquise the view of the crafts. There is also a LG craft that hovers above my house that is high and radiates a bright light that changes colors it is as if it is trying to blend into the stars. Whisp of cloudy white smoke often floats by me inside my house it is a uneasy errie feeling here and outside my animals have tore curtains down they bark at nothing well to the human eye it is nothing radio and lights come on and off and things in my house are moves come up missing then are returned days to weeks later in odd spots

Me and 3 of my close friends watched this sighting flash it's 3 different colors top was red middle was white and bottom was blue. Seeing this takes me back to 1976 where me brother and 8 other family members seen 3 oval shapes that hovered for 2 minutes. I hope that whatever it may be that no 1 gets hurt during the exercise. Be careful to all. Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

The craft/object was a large silver dial glowing white, with a bright red he in than center with a protruding blue cylinder. Several people were driving, a few appeared to watch the massive object. We are uncertain as to whether this report is intended as a serious-minded account of a sighting. PD
