A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was stargazing, when I saw a bright red star sized and intensity light, moving towards me overhead. It appeared to be traveling in a straight line, but then stopped moving, and changed direction. It stopped several times, and moved erratically. I also saw some flashing white lights, but mostly a steady red light. I watched it change direction several times, before it switched from mostly North to South, and traveled rapidly towards Miami, where I lost sight of it.

My sister is a pharmacist, and I'm a student nurse. She joined me on April 05 at my home and stayed until midnight. She was ready to go home, and so I walked her out as usual. We stood outside for a few minutes having a conversation about swimming. As she was speaking to me, my attention got lost in the clear night sky. I saw a single object in the sky, and it had a cylindrical shape and seemed to be stealthy in appearance. I wanted to believe that it was an airplane in the sky, but the more I analyze it became extremely unfamiliar. The object had three circular glowing orange reddish orbs illuminating from it. The speed of this object was unlike an airplane, drone, or Chinese lantern. It was literally moving like a snail in the sky. As I stood there gazing at it, my sister turned around and looked up and saw exactly what I was seeing. She was in disbelief, thought that it might be some type of aircraft. But I remember telling her, "No it cant be! Look ! at the orbs, and the movement. It's practically standing still." As we both stood there staring, the object disappeared right in front of us. I couldn't believe it. It's not like it went behind any clouds. I mean this night was very clear, and there wasn't any clouds in the sky. It simply vanished out of thin air. My sister got in her car and went home. I was so shocked by what I saw, I called my roommate out to describe what my sister and I had just seen. He quickly came out and wanted to see if the object had returned or not. He used a snapchat filter to see if the object was hiding in the sky. We both looked at his phone and did not see anything from the filter. Literally, five minutes after my sister left, my roommate and I were standing outside looking around. What happened next was even more shocking! My roommate spotted an aircraft South of us a good distance away. I have lived here for four years, and I have never seen any aircraft pull the maneuver that this ! one did. The aircraft literally made a sharp turn and headed o! ur way. I could even see the bright lights from the front of this aircraft as it sharply turned north. My roommate was quick thinking and pulled out his phone to use the snapchat filter on this aircraft. Like I said, the path that this aircraft took had never been seen before in the four years of living here. As it traveled through the buildings in between us high above, we could see what turned out to be the fine definition of a military fighter helicopter heading in the direct location of where I saw the object. On the filter we could zoom in to see the rotor, the wings, the tail rotor, and the rocket launchers on both side. Since then, this night has been unforgettable. Certainly not the first time I have seen UFO's. But it's the most recent encounter I've had, and it was similar to an experience out of a movie.

Sighting occurred during my nightly dog walk. Casually gazing at the sky, appreciating the clear night. I happened to see a line of what appeared to be stars, but the formation did not make sense. I kept watching and realized they were traveling west to east across the sky. There were (6) of them, and one by one they magically disappeared at the same spot in the sky. Almost as if a portal of some kind opened up and they went right through.

Ok so tonight It is half moon with clear sky and many visible stars there was a straight line of about 100 starlike lights moving They were in a straight line they looked like regular white stars just moving in a line within the same distance of each other ... not like a shooting star or a comet it looked like airplanes moving. we were in our backyard which faces west and the lights were coming from the north toward the west but up to the sky toward the moon if that makes sense U can tell they were very far up because they were tiny from where we were and as soon as they were within the moons moonlight range each one one by one disappeared.... just like that There were about 100 just flying upward evenly spaced and in the same straight in sync line and disappearing one at a time ... and in the middle of it there was one of the stars coupled with another one as if a double-fleet. Then at the end when the group of stars or ufos were finishing the final about 5-8 were just riding without having any synchronization or they were just going at their own pace. This lasted for three minutes.

What seemed to be a very bright & close star was blaring almost like a fireball hovering, slightly moving and occasionally it would have small explosions, changing from blue, yellow, white. It changed from circle to oval shapes just morphing. It had a glow

Me and my son were walking the dogs like we do every night when I saw a bright object behind a cloud. I thought it was the moon but it seemed to have a red dot in the middle. I asked my son if he saw the red dot and he agreed. I decided to wait until the cloud moved but when it did the object was gone. We walked a little bit and I saw it again in another spot. it was a little less bright this time it seemed and further away. We watched it for about five minutes and it changed from roundish to a cigar shape. I would guess the angle changed. Although it was pretty stationary. It seemed to get a greenish, then purplish glow, then it disappeared.

While beginning my exterior security rounds at 2:15am I noticed an unusually bright light in sky approaching very quickly in manner that was not typical of most planes & jets in sky. As it approached very near my direction at a very fast pace I noticed more details unusual about this object. I fumbled to get my cell phone for video but it was so fast I could only manage a quick photo after it passed me. The most unusual thing I noticed was how large & long the object appeared and that there was a haze in front of the light(s) that were at the tail end of the object. At first I only saw it as one light in sky. I thought for a moment it was coming right at me almost as if it saw me. Then in the sky about even with me slightly north (airport to south) it was not very high I noticed there were two lights in a vertical line one after the other and the distance between indicating a very long object, much longer then a typical jet. It clearly appeared as one object. I thought for a! moment perhaps a blimp. The haze was very distinctive and oddly visible in front of the lights. It had a translucent appearance almost as like an "aura" and was shaped like a cigar (or torpedo). It did not look at all like smoke or an exhaust trail and most odd was again the length of the haze forward of the two lights that were in very clear view behind the long shaped "aura" of the object that could not be seen. It appeared to be descending in the sky but in direction not typical of the other planes that land at nearby airport but further south of the sighted object. My photo does not show the haze only the two lights at tail end. Lastly there is a nearby airport to the south of this sighting. Minutes later a descending commercial jet in typical fashion even at night was very visible and distinctly heard as it descended for landing. The object I saw to the north was equally close enough to be heard and much larger & longer had me creeped out by the ee! ry silence. I called local police shortly after returning from rounds to report sighting and find out if anyone else reported anything. It was clearly visible at all time to anyone who may have been out at 2:15am. No reports had been made by others at that time and I declined to leave name or contact.
