Oval over Oxford, MS
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I wish I knew about UFO report site earlier, but unfortunately that’s not the case and I wish I called within the week of this event taking place. About 2 years ago, (maybe more, maybe less I am really sorry to say I don’t exactly know), I was driving my friend home and about half a mile down the road where his house is, we both saw an orange and reddish light hovering in the sky pretty far up it was about the size of this in the sky: (///////). It was shaped like an oval, maybe saucer, and after about 4 seconds (maybe less) of looking at it, the UFO looking object zoomed off like we knew we were looking at it. It didn’t disappear it ZOOMED and left a trail of light briefly. It was stationary and then zip! Left a brief light trail it was so fast! Anonymous report. We have assigned an arbitrary date. PD

Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.

Tonight at approximately 8:30 while looking up at the stars, I noticed a dark object moving through the sky. It was difficult to estimate distance and altitude. Though, I would say it was maybe at the altitude a helicopter flies. There were no lights or sound. It was moving at a speed consistent with a helicopter. My sighting lasted only about 10 seconds. My best estimate of the shape was something like a boomerang. It moved through the sky very smoothly unlike the flapping of a bird’s wings. Though I imagine if I misestimated the altitude, it’s feasible that it was a large bird gliding. After discussing it with a third party with pilot training, it was also mentioned that it may have been a B2 bomber.

watching an eagle fly- above it appeared a round shape- it moved rapidly away from us and within less than a minute disappeared- crystal clear sky- no clouds- unobstructed view..

I saw the 3 UFO’s on a photo from a pretty sunset outside the Oxford, MS walmart on Jackson Ave. This is actually my 3rd sighting (my second sighting in Oxford MS—the first sighting in Oxford I had was back in fall of 2011 with my husband—we saw 3 similar saucer UFO’s together in formation and saw them rapidly dart away from each other), but this is the 1st time I took a picture and saw the UFOs *after* the picture was taken, and for that reason, I do not know how long the sighting last. Simply put, I was only taking a picture of the beautiful sky then later upon reviewing the picture saw the UFOs. The picture I have was taken in “live” mode on my iPhone, meaning the picture doubles as a mini video and can be broken down by multiple frames. There is no chance of window glare as I took the picture while walking to my car, thus I was not inside a car at the time. Reviewing the picture on live mode shows 3 UFOs slightly moving together in a tight formation, the! n the last few frames show them moving in rapid acceleration. The picture shows the Walmart store and the parking lot itself in the background, as well as a moon near the UFOs that help provide a sense of size and movement. I am happy to send the live picture to another iPhone for anyone else to see. **NOTE re my personal contact info- I concent to anyone contacting me, but please note I am changing cell phone carriers shortly, and have been told I will need to change my phone number; thus, email is best point of contact**

Saw a craft flying low while we were driving down the highway. The craft had no lights. We could barely see it. It looked almost like the bottom of a boat. We could make out ridges going horizontally across the craft. We could not hear any noise being made by the craft.

multi light ferris wheel shaped object in the southwestern sky with a smaller light tracking it it's like it escaped from the amusement park and now it's just floating and twirling and hovering .....white and green lights....i put telescope on it and it has a ring of lights and then spokes that are covered in lights and all connected in a spider web pattern. dog and horse are freaking out....the hair on my dog's back is standing up and my horse is running around the pasture snorting. crossed over to the east sky and starting to look more like a jellyfish with red green and white electrical charges pulsing through it. vanished into cloud cover. Venus, we suspect. PD

Thirteen silent amber orbs in staggered formation at low altitude floated by then went up and disappeared into the night sky. I am in m
