Bright red/white light hovers over Gulfport, climbs rapidly, heads north, then east, the downward,
Bright red & white light, possibly cigar shaped, remained stationary overhead near Hwy 49 & Duckworth, Gulfport, MS, for approximately two minutes.
A C-130 entering the Gulfport pattern flew under it. I estimated the object’s altitude to be around 10,000’.
The object then rapidly ascended to into a hazy layer of the atmosphere, then headed north, rapidly, for about a minute.
The haze caused the object to appear as a ball, with the bright light still visible within the ball.
The object then turned east, and arced downward where it disappeared into the tree line. No explosion was evident.
The object never made any sound.
