Light over Davenport, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We went inside for awhile, then decided to go back out, and they were still there, except for there was now a solid yellow light looking like a huge yellow ball to the left of the formation. At first was huge then faded to nothing in a instant, then it instantly came back. Once again we went back inside for awhile came back out and the 9 original lights that were positioned in there places were still in exact same spots still pulsating colors every now and then. This happened between hours of 3am and 6am.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #135698). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.

Me, my children, and family, were swimming when I noticed it first after looking up. I thought maybe I was seeing things until I looked at my sister in law and said- Did you see that or am I crazy? There were two orbs that were going in circles chasing each other kind of, I’m not sure but they were moving so fast in the sky it looked unreal. It looked nothing like a normal plane or aircraft going by it moved WAY too fast. By then it went away for a few minutes and I told everyone by this time- even the neighbors came out and saw what ever was moving at the speed of light. After about half an hour there was no more sight of the orbs.

Was outside and looked up North towards Clermont, saw sky bursting like lighting but sky was emitting orange then red and then yellow, bursts were sporadic and in between the sky changing color circular lights were moving around and sometimes they were stationary. There was no set pattern to the lights and the temperature was too cold for lightning and lights were in a circular sphere, video was taken for a duration of 3 min on my phone

(Veteran A/C maintenance) no more than 200ft above, very large greenish oval light, zero noise, way to low and way to slow for A/C, to fast and to big of an oval light, to be mounted on the belly of a regular consumer drone, would have heard the little plastic turbine fans, however the light came on as if it noticed me, however not like a switch but a slow motion pulse directly over me then after that 50 yards to my right half pulse then nothing. Prior to first pulse, I had been looking to my left with no light then appeared.. unusual flight path not typical of all air craft traffic in the area..

Around 8:30 pm my cousin and I went outside of our house to wait for a friend that was supposed to be pulling up. My cousin was holding onto a balloon filled with helium and she ended up letting go, so we both looked to the sky to watch it float away. While we were looking to the sky, west of where we were standing, we both saw a very bright orangey-yellow light flying upwards from behind a couple of trees. It wasn't very close, it seemed to be a few neighborhoods over, and we were just watching it fly up. An airplane was flying at the time and I am very familiar with airplane lights, so when my cousin assumed it was an airplane, I assured her that it was not. It was extremely bright and sort of round, so it could not have been an airplane. I only saw one, and in order to rationalize it, I thought that it could have been a paper lantern someone had lit and released into the air, that's how bright it was. However, it started getting higher in the sky and closer! to where my cousin and I were standing. If it was a paper lantern, in a couple of minutes it should have caught fire and burned up. The light started dimming and that's what I assumed it was doing under the paper-lantern theory, and then it disappeared. We were still out there waiting for the friend, and after the 3 minutes it spent in the sky, I noticed it started glowing again after disappearing. It regenerated in the same position in the sky that it disappeared. Witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate. PD

Help, I saw UFO type objects high in the sky around 9:00 pm last night. Was terrified. Called 911, no one else reported sightings. I can provide short videos. Flames or intense red lights coming out of back. My outside house painter first saw it, yelled for us to go out side and see it. Painter is male age 40.. I am 60 year old, granny and my 8 year old grandson also verified seeing flying objects. How do I send video you? Thanks in advance, Sincerely, ((female name deleted)) ((male name deleted)) ((male name deleted)) ((address deleted)) Drive Davenport, FL. 34896 Cell - 863-((telephone number deleted))

Noticed a red circle less than a 1/4 mile North of my location. The circle was a steady red color it never blinked. It was above a large tree the tree is about 100 feet in height. Object appeared stationary for about 2 seconds and moved to the south in a very smooth and controlled fashion. It passed behind a large palm tree for maybe a second. It stopped just the other side of that tree for again maybe a second. It then reversed course an moved back the way it came from. When it returned to the point of origin it stopped and slowly descended downward. The weather was clear visibility was 10 miles the ceiling was 2045 feet wind was about 10 miles per hour blowing from the ESE direction. From what I observed, I suspect that what I saw was an RC or Helicopter or a quad copter, as am familiar with these and there are several vacation condo's and villa's in my area. The object was below the standards for hobby type RC craft below 400 feet and not near any major Airports. The object appeared to land and made no noise no other aircraft around at that time. Nothing out of the ordinary occurred while it was observed.
