Class B First-hand BFRO #13347

Possible daylight sighting by boy near Meridian

15 August 1981 before noon Meridian, Lauderdale County, Mississippi 1 witness

Account

The witness was walking alone in thick woods carrying a BB gun late in the morning. The witness noticed a brown-colored subject moving very fast at an angle across the view, first thinking it was a person on a dirt bike. The witness then realized there was no engine noise, only the sound of breaking sticks, and left the area quickly without telling anyone at the time.
