Light over Pembroke Pines, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I live in an area where you can see the planes going towards Fort Lauderdale Airport. Also in the vecinity there is a small airport for advertisement airplanes and helicopters. I also used to work as a night security guard outdoors. What I saw was not planes or helicopters. I was walking out of a food store when I saw a bright, steady red light moving east to west which at first appeared to be an airplane. I noticed immediately it was not blinking but did not have the characteristics of a helicopter in flight at night. I tried to photograph and video it with my cellphone. Just as I was putting away the phone, I saw an identical object move in the same direction just a short distance behind the previous one. For about 7 seconds I could see both bright red lights moving at the same speed. I tried to take pictures and video. I drove towards a neighboring area away from the bright street lights. I had the impression that the air traffic was off, as planes appeared to be circling the airport. I could count 4 or 5 airplanes, clearly seen as blinking lights. Even airplanes that were moving away appeared like distant blinking dots. A small airplane landing at the little airport nearby appeared as one red light not too bright with a blinking red light. It was landing west to east and it was easy to identify as a small airplane. At this point, I spotted the third, even brighter red light in the same point and moving in the same direction as the other two. This was about 21:10 hours. I walked away from my car to photograph and video it as it was even more clear than the other two and again did not resemble a plane. No sound could be heard at all. Even the regular planes I could hear when they are visible that way, much more helicopters. After I lost sight of the third light, I waited about 15 more minutes but could not see anything besides planes. On video the planes also appear as blinking lights, small and white or white and red.

What would the paper say?
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.

The object was heading east approximately 300 feet from ground,( from where I saw it). It had a orangeish tail for awhile.. As it got further away the tail got lighter in color, almost white), and the farther it got the less I saw a tail trail. Eventually it was to far for us to see it.

Very much had the feeling Ezekiel had, when he said "the spirit was in the wheels" as I didn't just capture them flying through the sky, but rather interacted with them.

I can’t even express the shock I’m in!!! Tonight, as I sat on the bench outside while my husband was night fishing, I stared up into the beautiful night sky watching the airplanes fly back and forth and dazing into the stars. I watch them almost every night, I basically know the planes patterns . I’ve always admired the sky and wished I could know more! Let me just say I KNOW WHAT I SAW!! I saw what looked to be a flying/gliding star/object! It flew northbound, right into this fast-moving cloud. NOW it could have been the clouds that made it look like the star was moving OR it could have been a satellite or space station. NO! I quickly pulled out my phone and opened my star map (which shows space stations and satellites). It wasn't in our atmosphere! Before I knew it, it was gone. My husband didn't see it. I kept looking and saw another coming from the same direction but going downward then away from us, he didn't see that either! Within 10 minutes I saw 3 more Unidentified flying objects all coming from the Jupiter/Saturn area headed northbound! FINALLY, my husband saw the last one!! I'M NOT CRAZY! There is no way it was an airplane it did not have lights and was way too far out! It was not a shooting star either, there was no trail and it made it to the other side of the sky until it was too far to see and all from the SAME direction? I don't think so!! I could not believe it!! I searched for 10 more minutes and didn't see anymore! So, as I was going to go inside, I looked once more! I see ANOTHER UFO, but this time coming from where they disappeared, traveling straight towards Jupiter!!! We followed it until Jupiter’s massive light engulfed it. HOW CRAZY!!!! There was no way I was going inside after that!! There had to be at least 4 more coming back!! So, another 5 minutes go by and Mauricio was beginning to walk inside, and I screamed because I saw It!!! He caught sight if it and I ran to avoid losing it behind the palm tree and as I did so, it completely disappeared in its track DIRECTLY TOWARDS JUPITER!!!!! No way, no how that that was a coincidence!!! Something is going on and/or something is about to happen! I'm still in awe!!

I saw a circular silver sphere, like a bright shiny silver balloon. Floating above the clouds, it went up and down the clouds for about 2 minutes. Then it swirved westardly into the Everglades, quickly and silently.

Intermittently since around 7am I and my neighbor have heard and felt a very deep rumbling throughout our neighborhood. It lasts about a minute with the longest sustained for around 2 minutes. Very unsettling as i cant see anything overhead that would cause it and the sound doesnt seem to move at all when it comes. Other neighbors dogs who were being walked outside all went nuts barking and panicking just now while i was outside.

Three Lights in a Triangular Pattern On Friday, May 10, 2019, at approximately 8:40pm EST, I was leaving my home in Pembroke Pines Florida, 33024, I looked up into the western night sky and noticed three distinct lights forming a triangle. The bottom two lights were approximately 40 degrees above the horizon and separated by approximately 8 inches. The top of the triangle was approximately 60-65 degrees higher than the two lower lights thus forming a triangle. The amber/orange lights were brighter and larger than any stars that I would usually see in my western sky and looked to be about as large as a commercial airplanes landing lights at 2 miles out. As I watched the lower bottom light (south) blinked off leaving the bottom northerly and top lights. I recorded these lights with my iPhone’s video. While viewing the remaining two lights the bottom (north) light flickered out leaving the top light. The lights were stationary and did not visibly move in any direction and I couldn’t tell how far or high they were in the nights sky. I did not hear anything unusual as well. After about a minute the top light flickered out leaving the sky dark. I went into my house, quickly coming back outside and I noticed one light again in the sky and recorded for 28 seconds as it flickered and blinked out. I pulled a pair of binoculars out of my truck to watch this light as well, hoping to see more. Within approximately 5-7 minutes I then noticed many smaller aircraft heading west towards the direction of where the lights were which seemed odd. Facts: • FLL is near but planes do not fly where I saw the lights. • FLL Landing pattern was not full as I was able to view planes landing during and after I saw these lights. • Small County airport (North Perry, KHWO) is close and ceases operations at 9pm. • 4-5 small planes (not Helicopters) were visible heading in the direction of where the lights appeared within 5-7 minutes of the lights vanishing. o Here is a similar video that I found online (different dates, similar location) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hO2CRskDV4M • My upload to YouTube: Taken May 10, 2019 at 8:40pm: https://youtu.be/kKeH4lRMnW4
