Venice, FL
I saw a bright red, greenish strobing light, sparkling light in SW sky around 5a moving around, I thought it was a plane but it kept moving forward, back and around then all of a sudden it became a grayish cigar shape which streaked down, across the sky away from it's position, moving SW, rather than the bright colors moving quickly that I initially observed. It was not close to the ground, then it was gone.

Englewood, FL
We were having dinner at a wine bistro restruant in englewood fl when my wife said what is that? I turned and looked and saw a fireball moving from east to west. We were dinning outside on a very clear night. You could see the flames in this fireball as it moved across the sky. Many people watched this fireball until it disappeared. Then came another fireball in the same path as the first one. it was hard to tell how high or how fast it was moving. But I would say it was under 3000 ft. It seemed to pick up speed as we watched it silently fade away! I'm sure it wasn't a plane, helicopter, shooting star, or weather balloon .

Cape Coral, FL
Object spotted at high altitude. Bright shimmering light followed by dull appearance at about 3 second intervals. Watched through binoculars. Appeared to be diamond shaped and stationary for several minutes and then slowly drifted off to the east. No further information observed.

Tampa, FL
After landing at Tampa International Airport, and while riding a shuttle bus to a car rental agency nearby, I observed what I first thought was a helicopter because of its slow speed and maneuvering, reflecting light from the sun. As I continued to observe I saw that the object was round, very bright, and with a 'shimmering' aura around it. It was about 1500 feet in the air and near the airport. It traveled in an 'up and down' pattern. While watching it the object just disappeared, only to reappear again in the same spot. It was a very bright white light, oval or round, with a 'heat wave' around it. It then disappeared again and did not return. I would estimate that the object was a mile away from my location.

Cape Coral, FL
I saw what appeared to be a trio of vertical bars of bronze-white light, rectangular in shape and very close together. They shone for only about a minute in total but my mother noticed them as well and she couldn’t figure out what it was either. I’ve never seen anything remotely like it before now and I’ve been living in this area for many years.

Ocala, FL
He pointed in the sky and there were 8 objects in the sky that looked like stars but we're moving. We sent the drone up as high as we are allowed to take it and still couldn't see what they were. We then got binoculars and could still barely see anything but looked like a star.......they moved North moving around each other and then disappearing act nto the sky. They hovered over us for about 10 min before heading north.

Orlando, FL
While driving westwards on Colonial/50 Monday morning, through Pine Hills, I saw what appeared to be three white lights arranged in a close point-up triangle. It appeared to be a single object, moving roughly W-SW from over the highway, traveling in a straight line. There were no blinking lights visible at all, and no sound, despite a significantly fast rate of travel at what appeared to be low altitude. It is entirely possible it was a helicopter that turned southish at some point, having followed Colonial prior to my seeing it (helis launch from the Orlando business airport all the time), however, it looked very odd for a helicopter.

I felt like i wanted to look at the sky, so I went outside to smoke. i saw what i thought was a very large white bird flying really high up thru some faint clouds. I thought about what kinda bird it could be and why would it be so high while i watched it. It moved in a straight line at a steady pace. As it cleared the clouds i saw that it was not a bird, but a white triangle with no noticable lights. it looked slightly blurry,solid white. I was still convinced it was probably a large bird like maybe a giant crane and that i just couldnt see its wings move and that why it looked triangular. I watched it travel westward until it did an amazing series of loops and zigzags at an incredible speed, then it took off northwest over the archer road area so fast that it virtually disappeared out of eye sight. it moved so fast it seemed like it left a tracer or trail of itself for a split second. I estimate that i watched it for about a minuite and a half before it zoomed off. i would still believe that it was a really big white bird but there is no way any bird could move that fast or make such servere turns and loops. Im not prone to making up stories. Im not addicted to drugs. Im not on medications that make me see things.Im pretty sceptical of these kinds of stories without some kind of picture or video. I do follow ufo sightings regularly but i dont recall a white triangle being a thing people see often. I appreciate any feedback into this that anyone sees fit.

As we were star gazing, this weird triangle formed object with 4 circle lights had flew right over our heads not super far off the ground not making a sound at all.

Ft. Lauderdale, FL
I came outside with a friend that was visiting to smoke a cigarette and noticed what I initially though was a very bright and large star. After looking closer, I realized no other stars were visible because it was quite overcast with clouds that night. So I'm looking at it trying to figure out whether it was a plane but it was originally not moving at all, just sort of hovering there. I called my other friend who was visiting to come outside to see what he thought of it. After he came outside it started maneuvering back and forth from right to left for around a minute. After the back in forth motion, it started moving back and forth again but this time descending. The motion this time was kind of odd. It almost looked like it was a light on a pendulum being lowered. This motion lasted for around another minute. Shortly after the light slowly faded out or went behind a cloud and we saw no more of it.

There was this low flying comet looking thing traveling West to East over St.Rd. 7 that disappeared into a portal of some sort. The tail of it was cut off and light fell to the ground like fireworks disappearing. There were helicopters present that flew off when the thing disappeared.

It seemed to burn off, as it got more East.

Port Saint Lucie, FL
Driving to work I saw a green spherical object with orange and yellow sparks coming off of it about 200 ft high, slightly angled towards the ground, then it disappeared behind the trees. It was heading West to East over PGA village, Glades Cutoff Road. Possible meteor?? PD

Naples, FL
There were high clouds and the craft eventually disappeared in the clouds. My line of sight was unobstructed. I thought it may be an aircraft on fire, but the wobbling caused me to find this site.

Pembroke Pines, FL
Fireball came from the South just west of US 27 over the Everglades moving N/NW slowly. Looked like a large balloon on fire from a distance, and then kept traveling instead of coming down. I recorded it on my cell phone, but only a moving white dot appeared on the camera.

These objects are similar to two orange orbs that were seen over a month ago in the general area.

Gainesville, FL
At about 9:10PM March 24, 2016, I saw a momentary explosion high in the atmosphere that lasted less than a second. There was no sound. It looked like a firework explosion at its largest size about 1/3 the size of my pinky finger nail held at arm's length. (~1/3 cm) My impression is that of an exploding satellite. The “shrapnel” was red in color and was either glowing from an explosion, or reflecting red from the sun, that had set earlier. It did not streak through the sky; rather, it just exploded.

Saw a glowing fireball headed NNW at approximate 300 mph. 2 fighter jets followed. Moved like it was gliding and had no definite shape.

Largo, FL
saw 3 solid lights in a triangle form out in the distance, it didn't change shape at for over 3 minutes eventually the lights separated and but remained close. 2 of the lights gradually flew off in distance and the other moved to the East. The rate at which they moved away from each other was very fast. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Lecanto, FL
I saw the object over my home, I quickly went inside to get my camera. When I got outside, I was able to get 2 good shots! It was moving as quickly as an airplane, but made NO sound! It was shaped like a blimp, but it had NO stabilizers, basket, or fan, like a blimp would have! I am an Air Force veteran and to this day, I don’t know what it was??

I called my husband and son, and they were as surprised as I… the light seemed like a shooting star, we could see about two minutes until it disappeared, then I went out to see the moon, and try to see some other phenomenon and and take some pictures.. at first sight we saw nothing, but our surprise was when we saw the images on the PC… It appears to be a UFO near the moon!!!!! Take lots of pictures during full moon days, the result was incredible! If you want to know if there ET here, just watching the skies, and take pictures...and you will see what is there!!!!
