Sphere over DEERFIELD BEACH, FL

The report, as filed

The lights seemed like they could be white and red and moved slowly around in a way that appeared like flashlights - sometimes facing towards us and other times circling around the other side where you could see a lighthouse type beam. It did not move in a manner like a balloon or ship that we know of. Just hovered steady in place - never moving from it's appearence in relation to the moons position but... after about a half hour all of us 3 witnesses agreed that as the moon got lower in the sky (like over the top of the homes on the street) the object seemed to be dropping down at the same rate - very slowly. We did not stay to watch it move more or disappear but in the morning it was gone. I have witnessed another object in the sky similar to what this looked like but it was much closer - just above my town of Keyport, NJ and then over the lower NY harbor area but next to Keyport. It was a round vessel that also hovered and had lights on it - like nothing or any technology I've ever seen - it first moved slowly along the coast so I followed in my car and lost view of it - then when I was in the clear to see it - it was gone. This object reminded me so much of that one in Keyport but that was over 12 years ago when I lived there. Anyway - I don't believe this was a planet as you mention and one of the other neighbors mentioned with his app. This clearly had lights moving around or some kind of flaring or beam going slowly around it.I took a bunch of pictures but I could actually see it better with my eyes then the pictures depict. The Images orientation should be with the moon to the right and the UFO on the left. The bright light next to the moon in the photo is Venus. [NUFORC annotation: Planet/Star - Certain]
