A group of people in Mississippi saw bright lights in the sky, stopped to take some video footage - and then watched a large group of helicopters move into the area, according to witness testimony filed today at the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) database.
Their video from May 20 was posted May 21 at YouTube under the screen name jim20201.
Are these flares dropped by the military during a training operation with helicopters? Or something more?
From the YouTube page: "Around 10:30 a formation of lights sit in the sky as helicopters head for it. And towards the end watch as 3 lights appear below them. You get to see one appear out of nowhere. Its amazing thing to see.im excited.Hope to get more videos of these strange lights. We did go down to memphis but its too far so we stopped."
Update: The UFO Examiner caught up with photographer Jimmie Jones May 22 - with some additional comments below the video. Please keep in mind that most UFO reports can be explained as something natural or manmade. If Mississippi MUFON investigates and reports back on this case, I will update this page.
Following is the original and unedited MUFON report.
As me and my friends were driving down the road I noticed a group of bright lights sitting in the sky. I immediately speed for a place to park and film. I was extremely excited to be able to film this event. I was in horn lake filming in the shnucks parking lot.
I got out the car and quickly began filming. It started off with 5 lights in a formation and as i began filming there were four but one was leaving. When i first noticed these objects i knew that these were not planes. Planes dont sit in the same spot for an hour.
But as i filmed helicopters began to head for the lights. As i filmed the helicopters as they multiplied i film back at the ufo lights and BAM one was missing. But how can it just vanish and not be seen? An airplane would still be seen if it was leaving but this light was gone completely leaving only 3 lights left. The formation then began to shift. Then two smaller lights appear below the big 3 lights and they all sit in the same spot and then another small light appears out of nowhere and sits there.
The lights then all seem to be coming towards each other. We then decide to head closer to the object as we thought we could get a better view but we didnt. The video i filmed lasts 5 minutes. Its good quality and our reactions are just shocked i guess. I mean what else would you do if you love to read and hear about ufo's and you finally get to film one. I am extremely happy to have caught this footage. I have always believed in ufo's and that the government is indeed hiding something from us. I hope this video attracts many people into believing that there is something going on in our skies, and that i was very lucky to capture this footage. I hope you enjoy.

So the Space Aliens traveled 25,000 light years just to visit Mississippi?
Interesting.
Elvis has left the building....
Okay, so maybe we can have a Close Encounter of the Third Kind and they can kindly explain to us why they only kidnap upper-middle-class, college-educated white people for their anal probes?
Racist, elitist aliens...
Mississippi is one of the worst states in the union for lawsuits. These aliens must be attorneys; or the other way around.
WOW! AWESOME!!
Looks like a night exercise, marking the LZ with flares? How far is it from Camp Shelby?
It is to bad the flares steadly decended.
Hopefully the UFO’s are here to save us from BO and take him away . . . .
Just for you!
Ah yes, the Hill couple. No evidence but their own testimony and the fact that they were the first to claim abduction.
I’ve often wondered if there was a political angle. If, being active in the NAACP and civil rights they wanted to draw attention to the fact that they were an interracial couple.
Them being Unitarians does not exactly help.
LOL - one of those is outside my house every morning...at 5 am!
Yep! Exactly what I was thinking! Flares on inflated balloons. These things are popping up all over the country.
I just see flares in various stages of falling. When the ufos arrive in broad daylight in DC I will be interested!
