Light over Corinth, MS

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

Another person and I stood outside and saw a pink dot star light stationary for a moment, later move slightly at times. It would fade downward and move up slightly. After it went into the tree line it moved up at a 45-degree angle and got brighter and landed in the tree line and under, hovered between the trees and glowed slightly brighter before it disappeared in the trees from afar where the object was sighted. The object resembled that of a glowing star that would have a brighter glow depending on where you stood. Before disappearing into the far trees it got brighter and more whitish as if it were landing. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Corinth, MS

We watched the white lights show up bright in the same part of the sky to our N, and fade out in the same pattern while moving toward the SE. Some lights would show up higher or lower in the sky in conjunction to our horizon, but all showed up in the same direction of our view and faded out in the same direction. I tried to video them with my phone, but for some reason they didn't show up. We watched a pretty steady flow of them for over an hour. They were showing up at the rate of one to four visible at a time with no more than a minute between seeing any. They all had the same pattern to them. They would show up at first really bright, over double the size of any star, and fade slowly as they moved off toward the SE. The way that they all showed up the same and faded out the same we started thinking that maybe they were either coming into or leaving from our capability to observe them.

Corinth, MS

My friend and I were watching the International Space Station pass over Corinth at 8:34 p.m. Shortly thereafter, we noticed another star like object in the sky overhead. It continued for some time after the ISS had completely moved out of viewing. At first we thought it might be a star, but it was moving in sweeping circular motions, then darting around eradically, speeding up and then showing down. When it was not moving, it seemed to be stationary in one spot. It was too far off to see the shape or size, but it was as bright as Jupiter to the south. The GPS coordinates were approximately 34 degrees, 57', 39 " N and 88 degrees, 39', 6" W.
