SIGHTING: BENTONIA, MISSISSIPPI (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"My brother and I were lying on our backs in a clearing in the woods. We were listening to a cassette player and star gazing. suddenly a bright white light flew into view. It was approximately the size of my thumbnail held at arms length. Neither of us said a word. The light suddenly stopped still. Then it zigzagged 45 degrees to the right and stopped again. Then it continued it's original course. Then it zigzagged again and stopped still.Still neither of had said a word. The object flew away on it's original course and disappeared over the tree tops. I was the first to speak and I said Frank (an alias)"Did you see that?"He said "Yeah I did!"I said"What did it do?"He said" It went like that and then like that and now it's gone!I forgot to mention that it zigzagged twice and came to a complete stop each time.I watched the local newspaper and watch the local news(out of Jackson, Msfor several days afterward to see if anyone else had witnessed what we had. To no avail. We didn't mention the incident to our folks for many years. I am an Air Force veteran, I served from 1972 to 1976. My brother had spent 4 years in the Air Force and got out in 1985. My job in the military was classified Secret since I worked on Electronic Countermeasures gear on B-52's and the F-4 Phantom .Everyone at that time knew that the SR-71 was the fastest aircraft in the world. This object(if it had a crew) would have torn them to pieces with the G's that it pulled.This sighting only lasted a few seconds, but it had an enormous impact on both of us!"
