Appearance / Description of Object(s)

The objects in the sky were too far away to discern shapes. Their lights were moderately bright and colored as mentioned above. The large object on the ground appeared to be silvery in color, most likely round shaped and numerous spectrums of light colors.

Size of Object(s)

Not possible to tell the dimensions of the aerial objects, but the craft on the ground was 90-100 feet across and about 30 feet high.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Very rural farming area, flat delta land, no houses within miles, hardly any trees. No military bases or power plants nearby to my knowledge.

Full Description & Details

At about 9p.m., My wife and I were driving thru a remote rural area of NW Mississippi in route to a friend's party when we noticed moving lights in the cloudless sky. We stopped and got out for a better look. What we saw was amazing. There was a large stationary object approximately 1/2 mile above us with green and orange colored lights occasionally flashing. There were a half dozen or so smaller crafts with a red glow traveling at phenomenal speeds eastward and westward away from the larger ship, disappearing out of sight within 5 seconds and then returning at the same speed. As they approached the bigger object they would brake to a sudden halt and slowly rise to its top. Then there would be a bright white light at the top of the big craft and the smaller object would drop out of sight, presumably into the ship. We watched 4 or 5 smaller crafts do this and then went on to our destination.

As we left our friends three hours later, we could see no more lights in the sky and proceeded towards home and were the only vehicle on the rural two lane road. As we neared the area where we had witnessed the sky spectacle we were almost blinded by huge bright white lights coming from the back end of a tilled twenty acre farm field off the right side of the road. We could see a large, perhaps 90 feet wide object about 200 yards away with multiple colored lights flashing and what appeared to be a dome on top. The bright white lights seemed to be coming from behind the object from both sides, but due to the brightness we could not make out their sources. We drove past the scene to the next dirt turn row beyond a line of bushes and parked facing the field from about 30 yards away. We watched for 2-3 minutes through the bushes until we saw something very strange. We could see what would best be described as two bright green beams from some sort of flashlights being carried by two entities and approaching us from left to right beyond the bushes. As the lights got nearer we decided it was time to leave and sped out of the area (keeping track of each minute as we returned home).

We wanted to check out the scene in daylight but we were moving out of state the next day and were unable.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

No possible way, considering the aerial maneuvers we witnessed.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

Before, I tried to keep my mind open to the possibility of their existence but was not a student of the subject. After, I am totally convinced by what I witnessed and do follow reports to see if any are similar to mine.
