The report, as filed
I was walking my dogs on Sunday May 8, 2016, (Clear night with no clouds), when I saw a small flash in the sky just below a star. I initially thought it was a plane because of the way a plane’s lights blink when flying in the night sky. However, the flash did immediately occur again. I continued to gaze in the same direction when about 30 seconds later, I saw a light flash again in the “same spot”. I thought this was a bit strange. So I took out my iphone and began to video tape the area I saw this light. Unfortunately, the iphone camera isn’t the best, especially at night and the distance this thing was. The light was far away (I think) as you can see on the video. I filmed for about 4 minutes and then contemplated going back to my house to get a video camera. I continued to watch and it continued to blink every 30-40 seconds (an estimate) in the same spot. The light was definitely different from the light from the stars. I decided to film again with! the iphone and the same occurrence was seen. It was really strange. I was pretty excited. I decided to get home to drop the dogs off and to find my video camera. I found it, but no battery charge. I walked back outside to watch again, but I no longer saw the light. When I played the video for the first time, I didn’t even see the light on the camera, even though you can hear me stating “there it goes again”. I decided to slow the video down with imovie. In a dark room and watching the video in slomo, you can see the flash of light, but to my surprise, there were other lights that blinked on and then off right after the other one. Really weird. I have also zoomed in on the flash of light and it’s completed different from the light zoomed in on a star. It looks triangular. I can send the video, because I’m sure you have better software to zoom in, brighten, and slow the video down. If I had the software I would do this. I know this isn’t some amazing close up sighting, but it’s definitely odd.

While driving south on Jog Rd.,in Palm Beach Gardens Florida, I saw a green rectangular object plummeting towards Earth for 5 seconds in the Southern sky. I lost sight of it when it dropped below the tree lines. It was vivid green in color and appeared to be producing some kind of vapor or smoke but did not leave a trail. I am a high school teacher.

I was on the phone with my husband, coming home from a yoga class in Palm Beach Gardens. I was driving east on North Lake Blvd and noticed a bright light in the sky. Light was too low to be a star and was definitely not an airplane. I zoomed in on the light and took a photo.

I was sitting down next to a friend when i saw something in the sky, i thought it might’ve been a shooting star, it was slowly drifting down but stopped in the air for maybe 2 or 3 seconds and I tried to get a video and that’s when it zoomed across the sky at a speed impossible for a non moving craft to have. My friend and I were shocked and didn’t know what to think. I only wish I could’ve gotten video proof. Was around 12 that night. It was high in the sky and couldn’t very clearly make out shape or anything but it was white.

commercial aircrafts were in approach to PBI airport I guess and were at way lower altitude than what I believe was an UFO. The UFO was glowing and moving slowly from West to North East. I would say the UFO would be like 6500 feet at start and then starting going higher and higher until disappeared

I only saw the images after I went back and looked at the photos. I left my house at 5:28 am on 2/26/2022 to go on a run and noticed a really beautiful moon. I wanted to take a quick photo to show my wife. I forgot to show her the picture but noticed it on Monday when I was looking at my photo album. When I saw the picture, I realized that I had taken two photos very quickly back to back; both photos show the time as 5:28 am. I will include the photos, as well as, screen shots that show the time. You can see an image below and to the right the moon in the first photo and it looks like it has a bluish color in the middle. The second photo show the object across the sky way to the left of the moon. If it was an object it would have been traveling very fast to move that far. As I mentioned, I didn't see anything in the sky, I took the photos very fast but I think it's interesting what showed up in the photo. Let me know what you think. Thanks Louis.

At 10:50 PM on Monday August 10th I went out to get my mail for the day which I forgot to do earlier. It was a cloudy night and I couldn’t see any stars but off in the distance I saw two lights that I figured was an airplane. It was moving very slow for an airplane, but then is sped up and slowed down again as it got nearer my area and then came to a stop. I went inside and got my cell phone to get pictures of it. Looking straight up it was only about 20 degrees away from where I was. Now I could see two bright lights on either side of it and two very small lights on the top and bottom. I called my neighbor and he came out to see it and ten minutes had gone by and it did not move, plus there was no noise at all. I took many pictures and videos of it. We figured it must be a UFO and kept watching it for about 20 minutes. It did not move. I took many pictures and videos of it but could not get a clear picture as my phone takes great pictures in low light but if I zoomed in it came out as a single bright light. It was so clear with the naked eye and it seemed almost a square shape on it’s side with the lights on each corner. After it had not moved for about 40 minutes I did not know who to call so I called the Palm Beach Gardens Police to see if others had reported it but she said no and would have an officer in the area look for it. I went back in the house looking out and checking on it every once in a while. It was still in the same spot at midnight, and at 12:30 AM. Just before I went to bed at 1AM I checked and it had moved a little and was just about directly overhead. Nothing was there in the morning. I will email pictures and videos to you.
