It was told to the public a few days before it was going to be going by earth.

I don't remember the name of it if they gave it one but it happened in 2012 I believe.

It was all over the MSM ,CNN , FOX , MSNBC the whole day ,what was funny it happened the same day that one in Russia hit.

I can research it more to find out the exact day but I'm hoping some here knows it.

24. US helicopters fly directly over sailing vessels in the Persian Gulf, unnoticed ...
Sat Apr 5, 2014, 01:26 PM
Apr 2014

saw this on the news years ago. Helicopters with special silencing mechanisms were spying on small boats near Iranian waters. Most of the boats were fishing vessels, with no motors, or motors off while they fished. Helicopters descended to mast-top height without anyone on board noticing. Sounds from the boats were easily heard.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stealth_helicopter

There is a price to be paid in speed and maneuverability -- if spotted, the choppers can kill the noise reduction and bug out.

Of course, it might be dirigibles.

This is what happens when you take science out of the schools.

Camera lenses reflect lots of shit.

Odd how the reporter shows how "then it flys away" which we can't actually see since it is a picture which is then shown flying off using camera trickery from the TV station.

As others have suggested it's probably from an ATV.

But maybe what the local officials in Mississippi should do is round up all the deer in the immediate area and check their anus' for any unusual probing other than the usual probing after the bars close on a Friday night.

Since they are unable to determine neither size nor distance, it could be insects two feet away from the camera for all we know.

The light is not ground level and the deer were not spooked by noise or lack of it.

You can freeze deer by a light I'm sure everyone knows that.
But when something is above high above ground level and the light shines down from different angles in the field it's not
an ATV driving by.

with their claims.Not only do we not have proof that anything is flying,but we don't have proof that it's anything that could be considered unidentifiable.

In the words of the late great Carl Sagan, " extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence".

if it has not been identified it is a UFO, which in this case means weird lights that we can't identify not a spaceship from another planet or some such

Deer in my area do not run from us or vehicles. They are quite the traffic and garden hazard. You do not consider these deer may be used to ATVs bringing them food?

As for the bugs not being bugs? Explain please? Or was "watch the video" the explanation? If you have not, google images of "rods" and the explanation of them.

They don't want to be seen and are really good at hiding and not being seen, which is why there isn't any evidence of them - yet every other person has definitely seen a UFO "from space" and Bigfoot!

They reported it as a UFO, that it was flying. Instead of going to a local camera shop or the nearest university to ask someone with some knowledge they decided it was something that couldn't easily be explained. Aka, a slow news day.

Some loons with too much time on their hands have gotten a drone through some outfit that sells them. They have adapted it to carry bright but light-weight lights around.
It could be some fool outlaw hunters who freeze deer with lights and then shoot them.

Before all of you take off in fits of laughter and snark, not all of the people who live on those back roads are uneducated doofs. My cousin has a masters in microbiology and another has a masters in civil engineering. Even before they got educated, they could repair almost anything and rig up 'interesting' contraptions.

This kind of tomfoolery would be right up their alley. They would love to take that out when some of my relatives who have fewer brain cells venture into the woods and scare then shite out of them.
