Lauderhill, FL
Driving west on commercial Blvd near the turnpike saw 3 bright lights appear to be hovering or moving very slow. As I approached I used wires and tree like to indicate the movement as I was stopped. Proceeding forward the appeared overhead a couple thousand feet. Looking up they appears almost lie helicopters in a very tight formation. But I could tell that they moved together perfectly so helicopters are not like that. The was a lead light and one on each side but very close to each other moving very slow east. The lights didn't flash or blink at all

I was sitting on the back porch playing a game on my phone and the battery died. I threw my hands up and slung my head back like crap my phones dead. as I looked up I noticed these silent round fireballs in a line following each other. some piggy backing some by themselves but all going the same direction and the same flight path. As they passed by they seemed to just vanish into thin air and disappear. In dismay, I ran inside and woke my friend who was asleep on the sofa and made him come outside and check it out. About 8 more came through and neither of us could believe what we were seeing. I ran back inside and grabbed his phone and started filming. I have about a 2-3 minute video of the last one as it passes by and disappears. we also took several photos but a smart phone camera is only so good. They were completely silent and If my phone hadn't died I would have never even have know they were there. THIS WAS A REAL SIGHTING!

I was coming home from work on 62nd Ave and 275 overpass, when I noticed a triangular object hovering above some apartments. I turned in the look at it as it was silent, I thought is was a helicopter but when I got near the parking lot it turned to the right and started to move slowly. At which point, a second object that looked similar joined it and they started to move off towards the airport. The sound that came out of them was like a very heavy rumble sound of rocket engines. It had 5 to 6 bright white lights and no other color lights. One minute it was they were there then they were gone. I was in the military and never seen anything like what I just saw. We have amended the time above, to reflect a nighttime sighting. PD

The object was burnt orange,oblong shape, and approximately 20ft in diameter. It was silent and seemed to float, not fly. It stayed in the area for around an hour.

Driving south on Monument road towards intersection with Fort caroline road, a half a mile away from same I saw 5 orange spherical lights in horizontal bow like formation flying away from me. I started recording, and I passed them by directly underneath the last 2 crafts, no sound was recorded being this lights as high as or lower than a helicopter, no blue and red blinking lights were seen or recorded by camera, I turned at the end of Monument and turned right on caroline road, entering to my left the front yard of a church Stoped but the lights dispersed and only one remained static, but I was unable to get a good angle, so took on Monument Ave. In the oposite direction going north, I captured 2 lights at the time moving, static, more coming behind in pairs up 3 or 4 more occasions, my engine blinking lights, passing by cars and even a woman's voice conversing with a male as well could be heard from the other side of the Monument road/blvd.. Though farther away while still recording, no sound was recorded of this objects, which moved slowly to finally slowly dimming its orange glow light to finally disapeared I've heard helicopters even athough a needle point view distance, have 16 segments of short videos lasting over 20 minutes. One more thing , a small blue light at the beginning trailing passing them by and later guiding them in the oposite direction as if reacting to my observations was only viewed in my review of the video, it was invisible to the naked eye.

While looking to the South, I witnessed a very fast moving object which had at least 2 visible lights on it, moving from West to East above the tree tops, but far enough away to suspect it was off at a distance of miles. It traveled faster than any human occupied object, and turned to the South before speeding off quickly even faster. It made no noise, nor did noise arrive after it passed.

Ormond Beach, FL
From Ormond Beach, I was beach-side on the island looking to west toward Deland, I watched for over an hour an object that was emanating multiple lights, orange, green, blue and white. Initially the object appeared stationary but after a time of viewing, I noticed I had to move as the view was becoming obstructed by surrounding trees. At that point I could determine that it was moving slightly to the west. Amazing flashing colors with no static theme or pattern. I looked in my binoculars and could determine that it was fairly local, probably within the county. This was the first time I have seen something like this, I called my neighbor over and he affirmed.

I was walking my dog out behind my apartment complex which is right on Tampa Bay. I saw a bright orange ball start moving from north to south across the water. I knew it wasn't a plane or helicopter. It moved slowly across the water and then started rising up higher and higher until it disappeared into space. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

We saw 12 redish orange lights moving away from the toys r us parking lot we were in. The lights moved to the east at a decent pace no noise was heard at all. The lights were in a trapizoid shaped position moving through the sky as planes flew on by we saw them go past the lights as well with no visible affection to the lights.

Sanford, FL
As I'm driving, I passed a guy who's parked in the median with no hazards on or anything. I realized later that he may have seen it too and was stopped and filming it, or taking a picture, and all the traffic that was behind me slowed way down, so I know they seen it too. The aircraft hovered above the St. Johns River from the time I was in Sanford by the zoo all the way till I couldn't see it anymore which was passed DeBary. Again the craft was triangular in shape with a rectangle base there were two red lights on the rectangular base and there were five lights 3 on each point of the triangular shape and two white ones about Midway down the sides of the craft. It was about the length of half a football field it was about thirty feet above the St. Johns River and about 10 feet away from the bridge the object was clearly visible the lights were so bright I can't even explain it. My windows were down and there was zero large engine noise. My car and maybe 5 other cars behind me but absolutely no airplane, helicopter, nor drone sound was heard.

Royal Palm Beach, FL
As I was driving through Royal Palm Beach, I spotted 2 bright objects in the sky, just below the visor in my car. I ducked down, looked up and saw both clearly. They were shaped like a lifesavor candy, round and glowing orange. (with a hole or darkness in the middle) Both were stationary in the sky, the right one higher up. Within 20 seconds of spotting the objects, I pulled over to safely observe them. I exited my vehicle and excitedly called my sister, to see if she could see them from her nearby home. (She didn't answer, I left a message of what I was seeing on her voicemail) I then reached in my car for my kindle fire, to try and record this event. (my phone camera sucks) As I did, the object on the right turned. (like holding a lifesaver candy in your fingers and turning it sideways) It lost it's glow at this point. The sides and back were dark with no glow. It proceeded to shoot off higher into the sky and slightly westward, disappearing within 3-4 seconds. There was also the slightest blue hue flash, like a quick burst of acceleration from the backside, pinpoint small. As my kindle fire turned on, the second object then turned sideways/away from me (once again losing its bright orange glow) and followed a similar path as the first object, rising slightly and to the west, again disappearing within 3 to 4 seconds. The side/backside of the craft gave off no glow, just a slight shimmer of outline from the brightness on the other side. I was unable to catch either object on video, between pulling over, attempting to call my sister and waiting for my kindle to power up. The duration of this event was slightly less than a minute.

In my home and had sudden “need” to take dog outside...he was sleeping (I'm intuitive at times.) As I was outside I noticed a rectangular shape in the western sky, moving slowly and quite low. It did not have the usual red/green lights on wing tips—it had no visible wing tips. What it did have is two rows of lights which reminded me at first of a domino. However, the front two lights were white, blinking (not appear to be strobe) and the others were various jewel toned colors of blue, green, yellow, red and possibly orange. The object was about a mile and half downrange 25 degree and under 2000', closer to 1300-1500', heading WNW (as if flying to Eglin AFB). As I tried to determine if it had 8 or 10 lights, disregarding the colors I saw and trying to count (there were no “middle dots” of lights like on a domino) another rectangular craft appeared, about a mile 20 degree NNW of me at the time, at maybe 1000'. It, too, had lights but all were white and it only had 8. Then I knew the first one had 10 lights. The second craft went dark, which is why I didn't notice it at first. I tried to take photographs with iPhone which only showed a non-round shape and no colors. I went into the house for my Canon T3i but the battery was dead. I returned to the back yard to finish viewing the object(s). The second rectangle became visible once more and then dark again and I did not see it again. It had lights on less than 30 seconds both times. There was limited moonlight (moving from 1st quarter to full) , low groups of clouds moving in and heavy variable winds (a front clashing with sea breezes?) The Sun Life stadium is just east southeast, as is Miami International, slightly farther and southeast and Ft. Lauderdale AP north, with North Perry (small ap) 4 miles due east. Plenty of air traffic since new runway opened MIA 2 years ago. At first thought was a blimp, but saw no shape and am not aware of any lighting configuration. There were no events at the stadium that I am aware of but a music festival in Ft Lauderdale. Since the craft were moving slowly I did at first think blimp, but have never seen 2 blimps in the air at the same time in over 60 years. Plus, the craft were flying too fast for blimps in the heavy winds but too slowly for jets. I then thought of helicopters flying some kind of lighted panels, but there was not enough sound (was there any?) of engines tugging anything in the wind. Helicopters fly overhead all the time. At one brief moment the clouds allowed the moonlight to reflect more on the clouds and I thought I saw a giant circular shape above (as if attached to) the 10 lighted rectangle...but it was so brief it could have been my imagination. It was only grey and would make the craft 3x in diameter of the width of the light “panel”. I've viewed the stealth bomber flying at about 300' overhead near HAFB before US was admitted we had it...viewing/securing? The downrange flight of a shuttle launch at night so I wasn't spooked but couldn't figure these out. Called my aviation brother immediately 23:04 and discussed for an hour. He had no clue. Posted on @FAANews inquiry. Today, there's heavy air traffic and I was using it and photographs online to help in computing distance and altitude as best I could (difficult since I do not know what I was viewing and had no size references) when I found this site.

I was sitting on bench in front of my place and looked up and saw a triangular shaped craft moving very fast. Then it stopped for a minute changed direction and moved very fast then stopped again. Changed direction again and went very fast until out of sight. A guy walking buy also saw it. Had lights around it. I never saw anything like it.

April 10th I spent the sunset meditating with a very spiritual friend in an open field. At about 8:20, I walk home, and upon arriving to my back yard, a golden circle craft appears to the distance. About 5 seconds later a twin craft appears and moves together toward the star Sirius. I say on the film "thank you, you are beautiful, we love you." One vanishes and the other goes on for and 4 seconds. When it disappears I look at the moon for a few seconds and then look back the original spot, to my surprise I see two more golden crafts looks together, with the same exact coordination as the last two. When they vanish, I look to the moon at repeat this sighting, with the result of seeing 8 crafts, all in pairs of two.

The object seemed to appear out if the blue in the night sky, from my perspective north/northeast of the moon. It was a trapezoid with parallel lines of red and green lights - many more lights than an airplane has, and was 4 or 5 times larger than an aircraft. It moved east slowly in a straight line, reversed, went forward, then sideways and disappeared into clouds.

In the evening of April 2016, while walking home from church, I noticed 2 lights moving in the sky. I first thought they were just 2 planes flying in tandem, until they started crossing back and forth across each other. They were criss-crossing too fast to be planes. I watched them until they were out of my line of sight.
