Circle over Ormond Beach, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Hi Peter, We spoke briefly last week and you asked me to send over a email so here it is. I went and took your advice and uploaded a bunch of videos and made a youtube page so here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzXmN_nmfoPcmPrqw38QN4A So on the morning of aug 21st i was awoke around 430am and thought it was to early to let the dogs out (i usually wake up around 630am to do this) and the next think i knew i was at my front window peeping out and my phone starts ringing from a strange number and kept making my phone light up. i did not answer given the time but then when i checked my phone later after i remembered (it was all a blur) the numbers were no longer in my missed calls. So after the call thing the next thing i remember is standing at my back door about to let the dos out. I noticed the light across the lake doing things it I’ve never noticed (I’ve lived here for 4 years) and when i asked my buddy who lives next door to him he said the guy doesn’t even have a light and that it is a reflector. Anyways, i took my camera out and you will be able to see the light across the lake start acting crazy. after a while i noticed something in the sky that looked like a triangle inside of some kind of bubble jumping all over the place. When i looked around i noticed another bright light in the sky to the left of this object that would get bright as well and when i filmed it, it was a circle with a bright light around the edge all the way around. i knoticed the reflection in the lake start to get bigger and smaller and it was pitch black out. i got closer to the lake and at first i thought the lake was being drained cause it looked like there were walk ways throughout the lake and sounded like there was something or someone in there. i focused back on the reflection and thought i saw things heading into the light. then when i looked back up at the spinning triangle i noticed what looked like a space ship rising straight up toward the spinning triangle, come to a complete stop for a few seconds and then precede toward the other bright light (with the light around the whole circle) and stop just under it. when the sun came up i looked in the lake and all the grass on the inside of t! he lake was matted down like a crop circle would look. it was not like that the day before. the grass looks really clean and like you would see on a golf course green but on the inside of the lake. i also noticed what looked to be some kind of chemical on the surface that wasn’t there before either. Im not sure what any of this is or means but in the moment it felt like there was something being hidden in the lake and possibly some kind of moving objects going into the light but not coming back out. A transport of some kind maybe or just nothing at all. yesterday 8-27-17 we had a storm rolling through. i know clouds change shapes and all that but i don’t know if i was just seeing things or making my mind believe i was seeing things but i had the thought that there was things being trasported like machines, planes, sips etc behind these dark clouds. it looked like at one point some kind of sea creatures up there. again this could be nothing at all but would like some feedback on my first part of this email. Also feel free to share my youtube page and videos. thanks again.

Multiple UFO Sightings in Ormond Beach, FL ORMOND BEACH, FL Wednesday, July 6th, 2022: 9:47pm On Wednesday, July 6th, 2022, at around 9:47pm, my friend and I were hanging out on the 4th floor (top level) ocean-front private balcony of my room at the Outrigger Beach Club Resort in Ormond Beach, FL, when my friend noticed an object in the very clear night sky over the Atlantic Ocean, maybe somewhere in the vicinity of the Delphinus constellation (referenced after the sighting). He said to me, while not averting his gaze, "Hey look at that. It looks like it came out of nowhere." He had later told me that he had been looking at that part of the sky before he noticed the object. When I looked up I saw what looked like an amber orb moving slowly from north to south. I initially thought that it could have been a plane despite an absence of flashing anti-collision lights. This light was solid and spherical. After less than 10 seconds, the light started to slowly dim and shrink until it completely disappeared. Convinced that we had possibly seen a UFO, my friend began to look up radar data on the web for both commercial and military aircraft. There were no planes in the area at that time. I later confirmed that the International Space Station was in the Pacific Ocean during our sighting. We began tracking planes on radar and watched a few of them fly across the sky and noted how their flashing lights remained visible. We ruled out a drone entirely as the object seemed too high and far away. Coincidentally, immediately prior to the sighting my friend had been shooting his high-powered laser into the sky. Also, for another strange coincidence, earlier in the day my friend took photographs of a black frisbee I was tossing against the backdrop of the beach as a mock UFO encounter. It was just going to be something funny we showed our friends. While I wasn't thinking about this at the time of our sighting, it remains serendipitous to me on a personal level. And not to place any emphasis on this but it occurred the same day the Georgia Guidestones collapsed and the day after CERN was reactivated. Also we saw the SpaceX launch the next morning on the 7th. Friday, July 8th, 2022: 7:15pm (time approximated) On Friday, July 8th, at approximately 7:15pm, I was in the Hot Tub at the Outrigger Resort when a teenager by the name of Hunter (from Tennessee) called my attention to an object he was observing under the moon. I had told him of our Wednesday Night sighting maybe ten minutes before so he may have been primed to be looking at the sky. While I turned up and to the right (I was facing the beach), Hunter (facing away from the beach) was trying to describe how close to the moon it was by measuring with his hand in his line of sight. I scanned the sky under the moon and didn't see anything, but when I swept my eyes much further below the moon to the Southwest I saw a stationary object. He had said it was originally beneath the moon and he had initially thought it could have been a falling drone when it moved. My instinctual mental reaction was that the object (it looked round but too far away to distinguish) appeared as if it were reflecting light within our atmosphere (it was still daylight) rather than emitting light. However, I would have been happy to call it a star or even a planet had I not turned away for 2 seconds and looked back to see that it was gone. That section of the sky was very clear. No clouds. Immediately after there was a plane approaching from the west but that is not the object we had seen. The object appeared almost white, but in retrospect could have been reflective silver. The Outrigger is approximately a mile-and-a-half from the Aliki Towers where in September of 2020 an alleged UFO was spotted above in the clouds.

About 15 minutes later, we had gone northbound on the I-95, and I caught a quick glimpse of a dim light (dim due to distance) shoot from above my windshield, and head north. When I arrived to work, 3 hours into my shift, I check my phone and an article was posted, WITH video, about a North Carolina man on a Ferry with multiple witnesses who caught footage of 5+ lights above the ocean.

Approximately 9 pm on 5/22/19 between flagler beach and ormond by the sea while sitting on beach access pier we saw Highly unusual lights about 5 miles offshore for a duration of 10 minutes. These lights would disappear and reappear in the same general area at one point we saw four separate objects light up then go off. We sit out there all the time and many airplanes fly over on a regular basis so we know they were not planes. I have know logical explanation for these lights. I wonder if anybody else saw these lights?

My husband and i live right next to the Halifax River and approximately a mile from the Granada Bridge. There are several park benches along a pathway beside the river across from our house, and we walked over there this evening to have a break and to enjoy the evening in the night skies. And looking toward what would be the end of the Granada bridge going into A1A at the beach, we noticed three round lights they were spread pretty far apart from each other, and although all three lights are lit at one time, when one light would go off another one would come on, and then another one would go off and another one would come on. It was just real slow and silent. And it was in one position for a little while and then it went off completely, and then it was in a different position in another location just probably several feet from that one, and it was not running in a straight line. And then it turn completely off for a bit, and then it showed back up again completely in another location & the lights kept doing that same thing. And then they all went off again. And we didn't see it again after that. And we walked back over to the house. Not sure what we saw, but it was definitely not an airplane, because he was moving in an erratic pattern. And it made no noise as it hovered what seemed like just you know maybe a mile above the building line.

April 11 at 2:30 pm, in my back yard.I heard a loud, whirling sound in the sky above..seconds later I saw 2 pearl-iridescent color aircraft flying South . A few seconds later I heard the same loud whirling sound and looked up...a 2nd pair of pearl-iridescent, almost invisible aircraft, came flying over and did an abrupt turn to the East, toward the ocean.
