Mississippi UFO caught on video as large group of helicopters surround the scene
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. 
More details
UFO Examiner caught up with photographer Jimmie Jones on May 22, asking for a few more details. Thanks, Jimmie, for giving our readers a little more to the story. Here’s what he had to say.
“After we stopped shooting,we quickly went down to memphis. The lights were still up. But as we got to memphis we couldnt see anything at all due to the trees and the airport so we couldnt tell which direction the lights were in so we head back to horn lake [due to me having to come home] but we stopped by mcdonalds and the lights were still up in the same direction but their were only two left. and they sat further apart and didnt move at all. As we left mcdonalds minutes later, they were still in the same position, i should have filmed the lights but i was in a hurry and i figured that little piece was good enough but i am sorry to not have caught anymore footage. We attempted but their were so many things keepin us from getting closer. Losing the lights, no money to equip us with gas, and me having to go home. But tonight i plan on going out into the boondocks of walls to get a good view and hopefully get lucky enough to find another great site.I am glad that you found me,and saw my video. This is not the only time this has happened. It has been one of my wishes to bring something like this to eye.”
The video was shot from the Shnucks Pharmacy parking lot at 3926 Goodman Road W. Horn Lake, MS – in the vicinity of this image.
The region: Horn Lake, Mississippi, is northeast of Memphis.
