Circle over Miami Beach, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Above my porch on Indian Creek Drive and 41st Street Miami Beach Florida November 23rd, 11:05 p.m. For the first few minutes of my observation it was in a fixed position not even moving. After 5 or 6 minutes I took out my phone video as I was filming it started moving very very slowly towards the northern direction as I was facing south. Suddenly it just sped away like a blink of an eye towards the northern Direction which I couldn't see it anymore since I have an overhead porch. It definitely was not an airplane or a helicopter because it was soundless, in addition it did not fit the lighting configuration of an aircraft or helicopter, which I'm very familiar with, since I fly planes myself. Again it was just a bunch of red flashing beacons and sometimes alternating to greenish yellow color. I took some video footage but just for the last few seconds before it disappeared as my hand was not steady so it seems like it was moving but it was just actually moving very very slowly towards the end of this phenomena before it just vanished towards the North direction..

09.11.2022- While unwinding on a patio around sunset as I usually do with my neighbor Michael W White, first UFO out of 2(second is the most important so please, read on), I noticed a bright object that wasn’t blinking and it immediately caught my eye. It was heading west from my perspective(10th street and euclid, Miami Beach- looking SOUTH) and I immediately pointed that object to my neighbor we stood up to observe more intently and in that moment what looked like coming from south TRIANGLE spacecraft appeared, my hurt sunk and I grabbed my neighbor by the back and yelled do you see he said - yes!! It was maybe maximum 5 seconds of the, as it defied gravity, it looked like a short TIMELAPSE and the triangle spacecraft dissapeared or rather became invisible, I dont know. This Triangle spacecraft I never seen before, only in documentaries, unlike the bright white object that I have definitely seen before was still moving towards west, then changed the course and started heading up through atmosphere into the space and disappeared. P.S.In case you decide to contact me, please be advised that I am relocating to Europe on september 19th, so contact me through email after that date, or call me 727 666 1904 anytime until 09/19/2022

Object spotted over Biscayne Bay on Oct 24, 2020. Observed through binoculars while shooting video with phone. Object was a dark grey, shiny, spinning tetrahedron with flat sides. Our best guess is that it was about 25' on each side. There appeared to be a short (3') rod-like protrusion at each corner. A hazy sphere seemed to encircle the object, intersecting all 4 protrusions. The object was tumbling as if on several axes, making it look very much NOT like a lost kite or balloon. (There was no "heavy" end" of this object.) Roughly two full rotations every 3 seconds. The wind (at ground level) was blowing to the East. This object was moving North at well over 100mph. At one point the object seemed to pass right through the MIA airport takeoff path, which at that moment crossed (high) over our home address here in Miami Beach. I uploaded the video to my youtube account for safekeeping. We may be able to find the original file if you need it. https://youtube.com/shorts/91UmqFs2k4k Not much more to report here but you are welcome to call or email me if you wish. I am quite interested to hear if this object is similar to anything previously reported.

My friend and I were on our patio in Miami Beach about 10 PM and I looked up and saw a strange object moving across the sky. It looked like flames were coming off the sides of a fast moving object making a delta shape. It was moving fast and on a consistent path across the sky. It seemed to be high altitude and fairly bright. I am an airline pilot so have a lot of experience lookin at objects in the sky and have seem nothing like this before.

The time was 11:05 PM Friday Nov 24 (sic. November 23rd), in the evening, when I suddenly observed in the sky somewhat of a round object approximate size of a basketball in relative to the distance hovering over the sky in a fixed position. For the first 3 minutes of my observation, I was trying to figure out what the heck that was. Myself as a private pilot flying small airplanes, I immediately knew it's not an airplane, since its orientation and the configurations of the colors did not match an airplane’s wing tip colors, and again at times it was stationary, neither was it a chopper because it had absolutely no sound, it was flashing multiple red beacon lights, and at times it introduced some other colors like a greenish yellowish in a shape of a ball. But as I say again predominantly the colors were flashing red lights. The best way I can describe it, it looked like a round half cut up basketball with the round part facing me. I was fascinated and couriers so I took out my phone camera and started filming. As I was holding my phone against the object of course I did not have a steady hand because at the same time I was also watching it with my eyes. Now 15 to 20 seconds after starting my filming, it started moving very very slowly like inching away towards the north direction, and suddenly, literally like a lightning strike, it just sped away as fast as a blink of an eye. Again as I say as a pilot I knew it's not an airplane or a helicopter, and then I was definitely convinced that it wasn't a drone either. I couldn't see where it went since I have an overhead roof as I was facing south and the object left in the north direction. I thought maybe I should report it to the law enforcement or to the FAA, so I called the Miami ARTC but I did not get an answer. I then called the Miami Control Tower and no answer either. I was also trying to get in touch with the Miami Approach or Miami Center, since it was originally hovering over the Miami international airport East departure route, but I could not locate a number for them. So I called UFO Reporting Agency perhaps they may inform the FAA in that jurisdiction. It was definitely a strange phenomena which I have never actually witnessed before.. In total time I probably observed it 3 minutes prior to filming. I will send you a link of the video footage if I'm successful in doing so through my mobile device. I will leave you my number in the event you want to connect with me for any reason. ((name deleted)) 718 XXX-XXXX please do not publish this number anywhere !! Thank you ((name deleted))
