NUFORC UFO Sighting 1242
Occurred: 1996-03-22 16:00 LocalReported: 1996-03-22 00:00 Pacific
Duration: 20 sec.
Location: Meridian, MS, USA
Shape:
Man, former USAF intel. officer, sees spinning, silver colored, metallic opal-shaped obj. to S of Hwy 20. Obj. instantly disappears!
Caller was driving east on I-20, and at Mile Marker #120, he observed a silver-colored, metallic-appearing, "opal shaped" object in the sky. It was 15 degrees to the draver's right, and 30 degrees above the horizontal, and it was hovering totally motionless.
The object clearly appeared to be rotating, and it occasionally would reflect sunlight, as if it had a flat side on it.
The observer pulled off the highway and stopped. As he was watching it, the object instantly just disappeared.
The caller was trained in the military in photo analysis, and perhaps other specialties. He was very precise in his description, using very unambiguous terms, and the proper use of angles, rather than distances. Also, he served in the UN forces in 1979 with the Peace Keeping Mission, arising out of the Camp David Accords.
