UFO Spotted Hovering Over Tree Line In Dunrobin

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Newspaper Article.

By Derek Dunn

Renfrew Mercury

Monday, June 21, 2010

UFO expert Brian Vike of Houston, B.C. received an email from Dunrobin reporting a strange sight on June 9, about 9:30 p.m.

Vike remains baffled by the sighting, saying most unidentified flying objects are either aircraft with flashing NAV lights, the planet Venus, satellites, balloons, the International Space Station and something similar.

“Over the last few years there has been an increase on one particular sighting, and this is of orange-red-yellow lights being seen all over the world. I receive reports of these lights from the UK on a daily bases,” Vike said

“As for the Dunrobin, Ont. sighting, as of now I am at a loss as to what this would have been.”

The report submitted to Vike’s website, http://www.kbccuforesearch.ca/ reads: “While lying in bed watching TV, we heard what we thought was strong wind. It was a strange sound. While we were listening to figure out what it was, my nine-year-old came running into my room in a panic.

“She kept insisting that there was a UFO out in the front. I told her it had to be a helicopter, but she said no way. My daughter is positive this is not a helicopter and this is a UFO.

“I’m thinking the noise I heard was strange, so maybe we better go and look. We run into her room and through her window we see a large object, just sort of hovering very slowly.

It was moving toward the east and looked like it was just over the tree-line. I couldn’t say if it was round or triangular because I was more fascinated by its lights, but my daughter says it’s definitely triangular and my husband agrees with her.

“The lights were bright and they were flashing on and off, red and white. It didn’t take long for it to leave our sight. I think that if I would have gone right into her room, I might have had a better look at it; it didn’t seem concerned about being seen as it was so low.

“You know, I don’t really believe in UFOs and now I’m not sure what to think. I know I saw this thing, but I can’t understand why it was not on the news or something at that hour of night; we can’t be the only ones that saw this.

“Let me know what you think or if someone else saw it too.”

Vike said were it a motorized object like a helicopter the sound would have been recognizable. It didn’t have normal NAV lights, he added. And yet he hasn’t heard from anyone else. Attempts by the newspaper to reach the Dunrobin woman reporting the UFO were unsuccessful.

“The object was certainly of a good size and with all the lights flashing off and on, one would think there would be others in the area who saw this thing. As of yet, I haven’t been able to locate them, if there was any,” Vike said.

“This object may well be something explainable, but as it stands right now, I have to class it as a UFO. I certainly am checking into the case and hopes of finding an answer to what the people saw that night.”

That Was No UFO Over Hamilton

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Newspaper Article.

The strange lights in the night sky last weekend have a rather novel, down-to-earth explanation.

Not UFOs. Not northern lights, either.

It looks like it was Hamilton's own Chris Ecklund and his half-billion candlepower light system illuminating one of the city's 125 waterfalls that caused a ripple of UFO sightings from Stoney Creek to Dundas.

Witnesses reported eyewitness accounts of strange vertical lights in the sky over Dundas and Waterdown to The Vike Report, a British Columbia-based blog devoted to UFO sightings and the paranormal.

Brian Vike, who heads his own HBCC Centre for UFO Research, says on his blog that the lights were seen around 8 p.m. Friday.

That's exactly when Ecklund threw the switch to light up Chedoke Falls in the city's west end, part of his campaign to get Hamilton recognized as the City of Waterfalls and a pilot project to highlight the falls' beauty.

"We had all those lights bouncing off the ice and the water up into the sky. It was awesome and 8 p.m. was when we threw the switch.

"We had all the colours people saw: orange, red and the whole lot."

Vike, who lives in Houston, B.C., halfway between Terrace and Prince George, was not immediately available for comment.

One witness told Vike that he and five friends were out for a walk around 8 p.m. and saw vertical lights in the sky and watched them for 30 minutes, a throbbing orange one which faded in and out and a second red vertical one.

The witness, who Vike won't name in keeping with his confidentiality commitment on the site, says one light had a circle opening in it which looked like an eye.

Then the red lights faded away after five more minutes, he said.

Ecklund has also lit up Sherman Falls with blue spotlights, Tiffany Falls with 550 million candlepower of clear lights with no filters and Lower Westcliffe Falls.

The pictures and videos of the effects created are on his website: www.cityofwaterfalls.ca.

"There's no mystery," says Ecklund.

"It was just us."

1976 UFO Hovering Above A Field At Clovis New Mexico

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  1976

Time:  Evening.

I remember this incident. At first I thought  had dreamed it until I stumbled across your website.

I was only 6 when it happened, but I remember that we pulled over on the side of the road with many other people and watched the UFO hover over a field moving in strange sideways patterns before it shot straight up into the air and disappeared.

The Clovis news journal ran a picture of it the next day if I can recall. Thanks for the web post.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

RCMP Officer Shoots At Unknown 1967 Kitimat British Columbia UFO Incident

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  1967

Brian, are you aware of the 1967 so called UFO incident in Kitimat? I was involved in this incident during the winter of that year.

Me and a few friends were walking on the outskirts of Kitimat one snowy dark evening when we heard a strange beeping noise out in the bush. Within a half an hour a large group of local residents gathered along with us to listen to this electronic beeping noise.

Shortly thereafter, the RCMP showed up and formed about 12 of us into 2 groups. Each group was to walk along one side of this ravine that went into the bush towards this blue light. It was the dead of winter and there was a lot of snow in the bush.

I was with one of those groups accompanied by an RCMP officer. There was a blue glowing light off in the bush along with this electronic beeping noise.

After about 20 minutes, we heard 4 or 5 gunshots, and our RCMP officer told us all to get out of the bush. When we got back to the road, the other group that had traversed the other side of the ravine was already out on the road.

Everyone in that group was very scared and apparently, the RCMP officer in that group shot into a tree at "something?" They all saw something in the tree, but no-one wanted to talk about it! This RCMP officer was as white as a sheet and saw something in the tree apparently with the rest of them and felt compelled to shoot at it?

Well, before one knew it, there were electronic and UFO experts coming to Kitimat from all over the world. The beeping noise continued for many weeks and the electronic experts from Vancouver stated that it was an electronic source of some sort.

The local Natives just laughed and stated that the beeping noise was a rare Owl. They could not however explain the blue glowing light out in the bush that night. It was what we were trying to see when our two groups went into the bush.

Have you heard of this story?

Thank you to the witness for the report.

4 Red Balls Of Light Over Lambertville Michigan

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  December 25, 2010

Time:  Approxamtlty 9:00 - 9:30 p.m.

My husband and I were unloading our car on Christmas night at approx. 9:00 - 9:30pm when 3 red balls of light caught his eye. He motioned to me to come look and sure enough, there were 3 red balls of light in the distance heading south towards Toledo, Oh, I was just about to run inside to get my binoculars, when a 4th red ball of light caught our eye.

This one seemed to go right over our heads and seemed low in the sky, under the clouds. It was traveling much farther behind than the others. The only way we can explain it is that it was a red glowing light surrounded by some sort of a glowing halo. 

There was absolutely no sound coming from it and it just floated in the sky. These objects didn't seem to be moving fast. I tried to call my mom who lives in Toledo, but she wasn't able to see them.

I decided to check online to see if anyone else had by chance seen this and that's when I came across Brian’s blog. Would love to know what they were!

Thank you to the witness for the report.

4 Orange Red Lights Over Oxnard California

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  December 2010

Time:  Late evening

I saw 4 of what you saw. They were following each other right over me on New Years. I ran in the house and everyone saw them turn direction like nothing I ever seen before. 

No noise at all and once they changed direction one by one, they disappeared because they have no lights on the back.

The speed was slow, but smooth. I wonder if the Oxnard CA airport got this on radar because it’s only couple of blocks away. They were UFOs for sure. I hope to see them on 2011 no luck!

Thank you to the witness for the report.

4 Orange Red Balls Of Light Over Thompson Manitoba

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  December 24, 2010

Time:  Evening.

Tonight, December 24 2010, My mom, her friend and her husband and I, and others on our street saw 4 Orange/reddish balls of light above Thompson Manitoba. They were heading northeast. 

We could tell that they were not planes, they moved at different paces at different times, and seemed to change altitude greatly within 5-10 seconds, they went up much higher. 

They seemed to travel a large distance in 2-3 seconds. Nothing that I have every seen a normal aircraft to do.

They first appear when we came home from church, only one at first, we thought it was a star, maybe Mars. When we got out, a neighbor pointed out that there was more. 4 to be exact. 

As they moved, they got smaller, when they got smaller, they seemed to slow, as if gaining height. Within a minute, they disappeared, One by one.

We couldn't explain it, so I searched for an answer.

This happened less than an hour ago.

That you for your time. If you have any answers, or Ideas, please contact me back.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

4 Orange Lights Over Cincinnati Ohio (Second Report For This Sighting)

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  October 22, 2010

Time:  Approxamtlty 7:50 p.m.

Good Evening, about one hour ago about 7:50 pm I witnessed what I believe to be a UFO of some kind. I was driving south on I-71, I saw 4 large bright lights, they would disappear slowly like a fading candle or match. Then would reappear just as bright after a couple of seconds. They did not appear to be moving, just staying stationary.

They were in a line, fading in and out, there would be 4 then 3 then 2 then 1 then none. Then 1 and then I lost it in the tree line. I read up on this and seems to be a reoccurring phenomenon. Some say it's parachutes for the pre game football at UC,

I believe this lights to be way to large for a human. I would love to hear if you have more info on this, it was just awesome to see tonight. Thanks.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

4 Orange Glowing Lights West In Coral Springs (Northwest Broward County) Florida

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  December 24, 2010

Time:  Evening.

My first sighting of this sort in my life. I was driving west in Coral Springs (Northwest Broward County) we saw 4 orange glow lights about the size of a very large star.  They moved in various directions. 

Two seemed to move toward each other and all of them in right angles only.  When we got out of the car only one object was remained and it began to disappear behind the clouds.

Now I read that many other sighting like this have been occurring in the world this year.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

3 Hexagon Shaped UFOs 30 Feet Above U.S. Army Guards

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  1980

Time:  N/A.

Location of Sighting: Virginia Newport news.

Number of witnesses: 2

Number of Objects: 3

Shape of Objects: Hexagon.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I was in the United States Army and I was on guard duty with my partner. We were just standing guard and I felt something on my neck, so I looked up and that's when I saw 3 hexagon shaped ships the size of a bus just hovering 30 feet over our heads.

I could not see no windows, lights or markings at all . When they started to leave, they moved forward about 100 yards and had no sound, no vacuum as they move. Then they made a 90 degree move up and like a beam of light, they went into the sky in a blink of an eye. It was fantastic!

Around 200 People Observe Illuminated Object Over Bellplain State Forest In Woodbine South Jersey

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  November 12, 2010

Time:  Approxamtlty 10:00 p.m.

Last night November 12, 2010 around 10:00pm about 200 spectators at a scheduled astronomy meet for the astronomy club located in the Bellplain State Forest in Woodbine in South Jersey saw this spectacular burst of illuminated debris fly over our heads. At first we thought it was a meteor (shooting star) but, it must have been a satellite burning up.

Many stated they never saw one travel so far and break apart as much as this one did and I agree, it stayed lit and traveled all the way to the horizon to the north of us and we lost site of it. 

We would really like to know what it was, you can contact the club at www.sjac.us for a better description from someone else. I was hoping there was going to be something on the news about it, but saw nothing yet. Please reply on your site, Thank you.

UFO Sightings In The Falls

Niagara This Week - St. Catharines.

Thursday, November 6, 2008.

The number of Unidentified Flying Objects is on the rise here in the Niagara Region.

Last week, a black triangular shaped UFO was spotted between Fort Erie and Niagara Falls.

According to the witness report left on Brian Vike's Houston British Columbia Canada UFO Research website, witnesses say they were driving to the Niagara Square leaving Fort Erie when they spotted a very bright light.

As they drove closer, the one light became three and they said they could clearly make out a red pulsating light underneath the craft.

Witnesses reported that the craft was hovering silently and motionless over a field on the right side of the highway about 100 feet up.

Three weeks ago, another UFO was spotted in Niagara Falls.

Shane Sovar said it was about 10:30 p.m. on Oct. 14 when he was working at one of the hotels overlooking the falls.

"My security officer came out at some point," said Sovar. "He was looking out over the river and said either someone went into the river and they were looking for them or that's a UFO.

"I've never seen a bright light like that," said Sovar. "It wasn't pointing down, it was pointing right at us."

Sovar said just before the object got to the falls area it dimmed out a little, and that if it had continued on the same path it would have gone directly over top of him.

"When it was over the river it seemed closer and lower," said Sovar. "It seemed to be 50 to 75 feet over the hotel."

Sovar said as the object approached the hotel it seemed to slow down and it was directly over top of him. He said it was big, black and triangular with a big light on the front and a pulsating red light, akin to a heartbeat, underneath.

Sovar said that during that time of night there wasn't a lot of traffic or street noise and that you could have heard a pin drop. He said the object didn't make one sound.

This is the second sighting in the Niagara area this month and the fourth since the summer.

A Bright Light In UFO Tracking: Brian Vike

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Newspaper Article.

Houston resident Brian Vike is one of the best-known UFO watchers in Canada.

Andrew Hudson - Jan. 8, 2012 7:00 p.m.

A boy across the street from Brian Vike’s house was tilting a new-looking telescope at the moon last Tuesday.

Chances are, he saw what any budding stargazer would expect to see—eye-popping views of the massive lava basins and colossal impact craters that scar the lunar surface.

But if Vike’s young neighbour ever spots something strange in the Houston sky, something he can’t explain, he won’t have to go far to make a UFO report.

“Just what I need,” said Vike, laughing.

Brian Vike is one of the best-known UFO watchers in Canada. Google “red orange light” or “large circular UFO” and his Vike Factor blog pops up in the top results. The site lists 1,712 sightings reports for last year alone.

“Most people, I really do believe, are genuine,” Vike said. “Their seeing something doesn’t mean it’s extraterrestrial or anything like that. But they are seeing something, and what is it?”

In one report dated New Year’s Day, a man from Duncan, B.C. told Vike that his girlfriend had repeatedly told him about the pairs of “strange orbs” she had seen glowing red and orange in the sky.

“I thought she was off her rocker until last night when I seen this myself,” he wrote to Vike. “We watched in awe trying to figure out what they could possibly be. An airplane or a helicopter always has beacon lights—these did not!”

Vike said he is scrambling to catch up on more than 300 such reports, all of which came in between Dec. 24 and Jan. 3.

“It’s amazing stuff, but most of it’s explainable,” Vike said. A lot of the glowing “orbs” turn out to be Chinese paper lanterns—thin paper lanterns that can float up hundreds of feet in the air on the heat of a tiny candle.

In fact, Vike said that lantern “sightings” have become a bit of a nuisance since more and more people in Western countries have started lighting them for weddings and holidays. Some people get a little upset to hear that their UFO sighting might be nothing more than a hot paper bag.

“You don’t want to tell too many people that because they’ll start cursing at you,” said Vike, laughing.

Standing six feet tall and wearing a plain black baseball cap, it’s hard to imagine anyone getting upset with Vike. He has a friendly, funny manner that would make him a shoe-in for one of the Lone Gunmen—the squad of amateur conspiracy busters who used to make cameos on The X-Files TV show.

But before he flies off into science fiction, Vike has to check off a list of real-world possibilities for every new UFO report. That’s the idea, he said—to try and help people discover what they saw.

Vike often starts with websites like Heavens Above, which posts real-time tracking data for satellites, the International Space Station, space shuttle flights and visible meteor passes.

On New Year’s Eve, for example, Vike got a string of UFO sightings from across Arizona, New Mexico and southern Colorado that seemed to follow in the wake of a brightly burning meteor.

Vike also tries to follow launch times at big air bases like the Vandenberg air force base in northern California.

“They’ll send up a lot of rockets, space satellites, and military hardware,” Vike said. “A lot of people are interested in that alone.”

Many people who stumble on Vike’s website report things they saw years ago. From 1993, Vike noticed a wave of sightings are most likely from people who saw F-117 Nighthawk stealth fighters flying low over North America to fight in the first Gulf War.

“I had a whole whack of reports of triangles coming in along their flight path,” he said.

Military jets, northern lights, space junk and comets—those are all sightings that even alien hopefuls aren’t likely to be disappointed in.

But Vike said it’s easy to be caught off guard by much more Earthly things.

Vike said he once a V-shaped something fly over Houston. He got pretty excited before he heard wings and realized it was a flock of geese.

“At night time, you get town or city lights and they’re low enough that the lights hit their bellies and you get that big V-shape,” he said, laughing.

Still, other reports don’t lend themselves to easy explanation.

This January, a crew from the Canadian Discovery Channel will speak with Vike on camera about a “missing time” case.

Two Kelowna women told Vike that on July 31, 2003, they were walking a dog along a lake and saw three strange lights in the sky. The lights came together in a triangle shape, they said, before dropping and hovering over the highway.

“They claim that they had missing time, and the next morning bruising, bleeding noses,” he said. “And they’ve been very sick since.”

What is really interesting about the Kelowna case, Vike said, is that it is one of many strange reports that followed the terrible number of forest fires in the Okanogan that year.

Despite slowing down a bit, and shutting down a larger website that was getting some 2.5 million hits a month, Vike is still in high demand for his UFO expertise. For years, he has fielded calls from the likes of CBC and BBC radio, the Discovery Channel and others.

“I just spent more time on this than anything else,” he said. “I think that’s why it kept moving along.”

Fifty years ago, Vike said he was just like the boy across the street, armed with a 50 mm Sears telescope from his parents and a boundless curiosity.

“Yep—I always look in the sky,” he said. “You never know what you’re going to see.”

8 UFO Sightings In Cork

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Newspaper Article.

Written by Christine Allen

Thursday, 06 January 2011

Cork people may have experienced close encounters of the third kind this week, with eight reported sightings of UFOs in skies above the city.

While there are no reports of aliens in the attic, body snatchers or extra terrestrials that come in peace, witnesses reported seeing yellow and orange lights in the Cork skies from New Year’s Eve to Sunday 2 January. 

Canadian UFO explorer, Brian Vike, told the Cork Independent that he has received a number of reports from Cork. One report said, “The light is yellowish and moves steadily. It’s not a plane, as the light is slow flashing and it’s much larger that the lights on planes. The light then stops and moves away. When the light moves away it can still be seen fading away in the distance.”

A second report of a sighting after midnight on New Years Day said “…saw some really strange lights over my house tonight. Went out the back to take a call and saw a red light in the distance (my back garden faces towards east Cork). I see a lot of planes, this was no plane, it was a rich red which changed to orange, was moving under the clouds and passed over my house.”

The witness continued, “I called my girlfriend, obviously wouldn't have called her for a plane. The shape was oval almost egg like changing from orange to red went into the clouds and appeared again. I'm just a normal guy but this was something definitely out of the ordinary.”

Causes

Clair McSweeney of Cork’s Blackrock Castle Observatory (BCO) said she had received eight reports this week also. “We have had a number of mails in this regard and it is an interesting question and quite a tricky one to explain. The experts here at BCO Labs have narrowed the sightings down to a number of possibilities,” she said.

They did not rule out the possibility of spacecrafts, but said the sightings could have been due to Chinese lanterns, flares, international military aircrafts, weather balloons or meteors. She also said the recent activity in the sky could have resulted in some upper atmospheric reflections.

This time last year there were also a number of similar sightings, with multiple UFOs seen over Cork and disc and triangle shaped items seen above the city skies and surrounding fields.

A witness told one UFO sighting website, “My husband was looking at the moon through a telescope on the patio, (it was the blue moon and we had observed the partial eclipse earlier in the evening). I was in the house when he called me. His eye had been caught by a large orange/red disc in the sky. It was moving from North to South over our house. I didn’t arrive quickly enough but then another object, identical to the first, appeared. I saw the orange/red disc like object travelling silently across the sky towards the south,” the witness recalled.

“Initially we thought it was a meteor about to break through the atmosphere but it was much too large and the height was difficult to determine as it was a very clear night.

“The second object when I saw it was about a quarter the size of the full moon and became redder in colour as it moved. It continued southward, to the west of Cork Airport, over the sea until it faded from sight. It did not burn out, as a meteor might. It did not appear to drop in altitude as a falling object would. It had no navigation lights but moved at sort of helicopter speed (faster than a satellite would and much larger anyway.) Our 2 younger children 15 and 10 also saw this object.

Around 50 Bright Lights And The Thunder Of Jet Aircraft Over Burke Mountain Coquitlam British Columbia

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  February 26, 2011

Time  Approxamtlty 7:30 p.m.

Hi, I'm just wondering whether anyone else has reported to you any unusual activity in the skies above Burke Mountain last night at around 19:30hrs.  I, my wife and daughter saw around 50 or so lights in formation appearing over the top of the mountain from the north and moved slowly towards Coquitlam. 

They all very bright with no noise, probably at 2 to 3 thousand feet. Do you have any ideas and do you want any further info. We all found this to be very unusual, particularly as it was snowing and the lights appeared fairly low, Thanks.

Additional Information:

Brian, in addition to my last, the volume of objects took approximately 15 to 20 minutes to pass over head and then disappear into the clouds. 

We first saw the objects as we were driving up Lincoln Ave, facing Chelsea Park and the mountain. At that junction I was so surprised that I stopped the van in mid junction and got out to view. 

I keep a pair of binoculars in the van so was able to get a better look. The objects were consistent with each other, emitting the same level of light and were the same size and shape. 

I had time to find my camera and took a couple a pictures, not brilliant, but do show a section of the lights. I will send them later once I get back to my computer. Also, some of the lights would stop and change direction.

Approximately an hour after the event I heard the rumble of very close jet aircraft overhead, perhaps the Air force? These made at least two passes. 

The nearest airport is Pitt Meadows and I'm sure I've never seen or heard such aircraft operate from there. Before. Hope this is useful, let me know if your contact at YVR can offer an explanation. Thanks.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

Meteor Green Outside With Burning Orange Center Over Mechanicsville Maryland

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  February 9, 2011

Time:  9:30 p.m.

I saw one around Mechanicsville Maryland around the same time 9:30.  Green on the outside burning orange in the center with a tail looked like it was travelling SW. 

Lasted about 2 to three seconds then dropped behind the trees. Thought it was a roman candle at first but had no arc and tail was towards the sky. My son and I both saw it.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

Witness Observes Disc UFO While Feeding The Deer At Nanaimo British Columbia Canada

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  February 5, 2011

Time:  3:40 a.m.

Number of witnesses: 1

Number of Objects: 1

Shape of Objects: Rice shaped? Oval? Disc?

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I live in an area where the lights aren't nearly as bright. There's a small forest and river near by, and I go outside once in a while if I'm awake and see the local deer out there. I was feeding one some slices of apple, and looked up to see how cloudy it was to anticipate the weather for later that day and I saw it. A disc in the sky. I thought I was seeing things, so I rubbed my eyes and looked again. Twice.

I felt so shocked, like I was stunned and couldn't move due to awe. If I held my hand out, it would be the size of my thumb nail (across). I could almost bet it was reflective, because staring at it, you could tell it wasn't glowing, it was like it was silver, and reflective. Dim, but definitely there. I've worked on military bases here before, and I know helicopters don't move like that.

It was like a swaying motion, but in that distance, it was moving back and forth maybe a mile or two, just back and forth. I watched for about 5-10 minutes before it hovered, then shot off really fast to the south.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

UFO Freaks Two Brothers At North Carrollton Mississippi

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  October 2000

Time: Between 10:00 and 11:00 p.m.

Number of witnesses: 2

Number of Objects: 1

Shape of Objects: Round.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: This night I were looking out of my front door at this bright light coming my way, so I decided to take a closer look, and my god there it was a flying saucer. 

This thing was so close, that if I were on the roof of my house I could have touched it. It were about a football field in length. My brother and I came closer to it, until I became afraid and turned around and went back on the porch and watched it from a distance.

This thing made no sound and had many lights. It were just moving kind of side to side. The tree top as I remember didn't move and I don't believe it was man made.

At the bottom of it, it looked like if it were made in some science fiction movie, but I saw this with my own eyes and so did my brother. I am still afraid to speak about that night, because people will say you are crazy or lying. 

I mean this happened right here in central Mississippi. The lights were blinking one or two at a time. There were no windows and the shape was round and thin moving at about 10 miles per hour heading toward North Greenwood, Mississippi.

Thank you to the witness for the report.
