Oh yeah, see them airplanes they dump their toilets 36,000 feet. The stuff freezes and falls to earth. We call 'em Boeing bombs.

Was spreading decoys for goose hunting st 4 am in the early 90s when a part of satellite or space lab entered our atmosphere. It was very bright and reported across east tx, la, ark and miss. It light up everything for about 5 seconds. I was scared

I saw that, but over Isola, MS, up in the middle of the Delta?

I looked it up, Did not go in the night, was a morning launch.

I dropped a Boeing bomb over Ohio one night on a flight from NYC to Dallas. I don't think they ... Nevermind.

Chicken was asking about paragliders yesterday. Looks like his maiden voyage didn't go so well. That would be my guess.

I don’t think so. They would have heard that.

I know. I seen it, too.

Actually, I said not much higher. To me with a B-52 passing overhead, 500 is not much above tree top. I am certain you are much more accurate in you assessment when one flies out of no where over you in the middle of the night on a dark deserted highway.

Those are called “pixels”

We are talking about Isola, Mississippi here, nothing but bare cotton fields, catfish ponds and po-people. Making and launching a paper lantern (hot air) balloon would be like achieving knowledge of quantum mechanics in the greater Isola metropolitan area.

Usually these happen, or at least are visible at around midnight. It's just meteors burning up in the atmosphere.

I saw a crazy one around a year ago at around 11pm in my back yard. It lit up the sky in a bluish hue as it silently flew over me. I honestly was a little frightened and went to go look it up to make sure it was a "shooting star" and not an invasion.

Some baws on here noticed it as well.

It may be the Allen Parsons Project.

I don't know how a solid black sky can be blurry but by God they did it

Someone might have flying a real hot air balloon. Who knows.

Is Isola short for Isolated? Cause it looks that way

So, you have time to see it, pull out your cell phone, switch on the camera and snap two photos.

You, friend, are quick.

I drove from Yazoo City to Hernando last night through the delta and didn’t see shite. I was going pretty damn fast so that might be some fire out my tailpipe.
