While going on a night walk with my friend I noticed something from the corner of my eye, as I turned to look at it I noticed it was hovering next to one of the apartment buildings in my neighborhood. It was hovering next to the second floor window, on the side of the building, and as I looked at it directly it immediately moved to the right, now at what is essentially the 3 floor level but only further away. Then it moved again back to the left and was now hovering near the gutter on the roof of the building before making a curve like motion back behind the rooftop and out of sight, maneuvering in a matter of 3-4 seconds before disappearing entirely. Each time the object moved with such speed it would appear as a blur when moving. It zigged and zagged at incredible speeds, it would move, come to a full stop suddenly. Now when I say suddenly I mean unlike anything I've seem before. My friend who comes from Haiti said that he has indeed seen these objects bef! ore, and it was his belief that it was a spirit or something supernatural. I come from ohio, born and raised in the USA and I don't believe it was a spirit or ghost, simply because of how it maneuvered and stopped. The object was blue, spherical in shape and about 2-3 feet in diameter. The 'ball' was very bright like a small star, however I noticed that not the building next to it, or the tree, or the grass below was illuminated what so ever by this object despite it being very bright when looked at directly.

We were standing on the porch watching fireworks. After it was over, me and my husband saw an orange circle like a ball. It went out to the ocean. I video taped it for about 30 seconds. We didn't see it again.

We went outside to see the neighbors' fireworks only to notice a strange orange ball/orb slowly move over our home and my wife, daughter and myself proceeded to watch the object move at a decent pace over the trees, then crossed the road until out of sight. We thought nothing of it til we saw another take the same path, there was no wind or breeze. Then another object popped up and took a similar path again. By the sixth object we realize something crazy was going on, then the seventh one all with 2-3 minutes apart. The eighth and final object acted different, instead of just moving along as the others did, at first sight it quickly popped up above the trees and stayed idle for a good 10-15 seconds, before cruising a little quicker along the same path as the others.

These were followed by at least six more following the same line. They had a slight glow without any blinking or blinking lights and were silent. They faded from view as they progressed Northeastward. Sky was partly cloudy but clear for most of the path, a path which traversed the constellation Orion.

Several single objects with orange haze traveling steady speed from SW to NE no sound each on a different path seemed faster than airplanes.

Very odd. At about 11:45pm on New Years Eve, I what appeared to be 2 orange "orbs" moving from the SE to NW direction, passing directly over my house as I stood in the driveway. I watched as the approached from a distance. At first I thought they were 2 helicopters, but as the got closer I noticed they were flying relatively low (perhaps 700ft?) and there was no sound or any lights to indicate port and starboard. The only light emitted was an orange glow. As they passed over my house, I walked from the driveway to the street and faced the NW to watch them. They appeared to be ascending but as they did, the light faded to a mere dot and then I could no longer see them. They were not moving very fast at all….no erratic movements. Just a moderate, steady pace and what appeared to be a steady climb. They did not seem to move further away from each other. I thought perhaps someone was flying drones. I then noticed more approaching….3. They all flew the! same heading, no erratic movements. More followed. In 3's, except for the second to last wave. There were 5 grouped together, then finally 3 more for a total of 21. The first 2 were from the SE, whereas the remainder seemed to come from a more due-south location, but all ended up passing over my home and headed NW/NNW. I never heard a sound and after passing over the house…maybe 500ft beyond the house, they seemed to just continue to ascend and lose their glow, fading to no light at all. But the lights didn't seem to disappear due to climbing in altitude. They just stopped glowing. I could no longer see them. It was almost like watching lantern light turn extinguish as you turn the knob. Really very strange.

on my roof on new yrs eve, saw 2 orange lights suddenly rise vertically from fox lake park area (slightly south or southwest of park-apparently)..thought they were fireworks at first, but they continued to rise and then became brighter as they were apparently headed east towards me..lights were pulsating regularly (not blinking off and on) they were moving too slowly for jets or prop planes and slowly turned north and paralleled I-95..as they progressed north the upper one descended and eventually disappeared in thin clouds..the lower one slowly ascended and turned slightly west of north and was visible for a couple more minutes staying on same heading until it slowly faded in distance..even at closest distance before turning north there was no sound..they didn't appear to be more than a mile or so away at that point- they were then much larger and brighter than any star-there were no "Navigation lights" (green or white)

There was a pulsating green light in the northern sky that lasted approximately 10 minutes, before quickly descending and disappearing in the horizon. Then a perfect formation of approximately 14 of very bright red-orange spheres starting coming out of the eastern sky heading over to the northwest, some disappearing, some heading west and keeping a firm position for approximately 5 minutes. A brief pause of about three minutes, before the rest of the spheres made same route, but this time in an ascending mode. All spheres made very quick ascent and descent moves.

me and my boyfriend were driving along Bloomingdale Ave around 9pm. I saw what appeared to be a shooting star. Less than two minutes later my boyfriend saw another one. we turned onto John Moore which is the approximate direction the stars disappeared. halfway down the road I looked to my left and my heart dropped. I saw a hovering blimp like structure right above the treetops about less than a mile away. It had blinking red lights. my boyfriend thought it was a blimp at first but it was lighting up the area around it. we were driving to our destination and it still didn't move. less than two hours later we left the place we were at and it was gone. there was nothing in the sky for miles around us. if it was a blimp I imagine if it wasn't moving before it would still be there. but nothing. I've seen a blimp before and that wasn't a blimp. I was never that scared or felt like I was being watched like that before. someone else had to see it because there was still a good amount of people still or driving.

Palmetto, FL
My husband and I were sitting outside by our canal, super clear, dark night, when we saw a fireball coming from the South heading North. I asked my husband, “What is that?” He looked up and said, “Wow, that’s weird – looks like something on fire.” It was totally quiet as it passed over us, straight line, no jumping around, seemed about as high as a helicopter, no tail, looked like moving orange flames in an orb shape moving about the speed of a small plane. I took a quick picture before it passed behind a large 2-story house and out of our view, but the picture doesn’t do it justice.

We had a rare power outage last night at approx 04:30. I was unable to sleep so walked out to the back yard. I noticed the moon had a ring around it and then saw a multi colored object in the sky. It was changing colors rapidly. It hovered in that spot for maybe a minute or two. It then just zipped away going up in a very quick and sudden movemwnt.

It looked exactly like a falling star but when it entered what i thought was the atmosphere it probably leveled out a couple miles above the ground and was out of sight in maybe 25 seconds. Looked just like a falling star. It continued nw direction.

Cape Coral, FL
We saw(4) lights at maybe 5*-10* west of due south. The lights were pumpkin orange and brighter than the handful of stars visible facing south at the time. They were as bright or maybe slightly dimmer than the north star (opposite direction in the sky so a true visual comparison was not possible. However, I did look briefly behind me to use it as a general basis for comparison). The lights appeared out of no where and appeared to move independently for the first minute we saw them. They all shifted position both vertically and horizontally 2 or 3 times rather quickly. They then adjusted position relative to each other and formed a perfect square in the sky. It maintained this for about 3-5 minutes. Then one light (upper right ! of the square) disappeared suddenly like turning off a light. With the two left lights maintaining position, the lower right moved out and up, the three forming an equilateral triangle pointing west. It maintained this formation for 5-7 minutes or so. Just floating there. During this time, a commercial flight crossed between us and the lights while traveling west to east. From our view point it passed directly between us and the lower left light blocking it out completely in passing with the light reappearing in it's location after passing. The plane's lights were on and was likely either circling or on final approach to Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW). The plane was visibly brighter (about 2 times), and much lower in the sky, with both solid and flashing lights on. The lower left light looked like it descended suddenly out of sight. The lower right light appeared to travel due west and out of sight. Neither of these had a trail of any kind, just a qu! ick moving point of light. The upper light appeared to remain! in plac e but just got fainter and fainter over about 30 seconds and faded out once the other two had gone. It was like watching a light traveling directly away from you until it disappears.

Lights were not very strong but obvious enough for observation. No sound was heard at all. It was way above my head, so I could not tell how big that object was. It travelled quietly pretty fast and I believe faster than an airplane. Anyone else saw this object in Palm Beach area at all??

On the night of December 24th, for the first time in well, many years, my wife and I found ourselves alone on Christmas eve, We had since our oldest daughter (33 at the time ) always taken a drive around town to look at christams decorations as what would become a tradition for us, but this time we were alone. But , we chose to take a drive anyway, maybe more for the memories of times past then for us . We figured we take a short drive and go straight to the high end neighborhood of Traditions , with their multi million dollar homes and see what they had. We drove through their neighborhood and realized that folks just were not decorating the way they use too. Dissapointed, we decided to head back home , on our way home I noticed a house on a side street that had a nicely decorated house and decided to take a side trip and get a look, It was a sub division with one way in and one way out , basically just a big loop, we admired the house lights and continued! driving and realized we were coming back around to the entrance road, That's when my wife noticed a light over my left shoulder and said ( look ! what's that ? ) as I looked over my left shoulder I saw the biggest red ORB ever, it was 9'-12' across, moving around 100 mph from east to west , about 50' off the ground , I tried capturing it on video, but my camera wouldn't capture the light, I was able to get off one image as it was heading away, ( p.s..) I do have the video recording in which you can hear my reaction to what I'm seeing. Witness provides no contact information. PD

Video shows lights flashing like sending a code. Large aircraft (size of a football field) with bright, greenish lights rose from behind the trees and hovered in the same spot for almost 2.5 minutes. The aircraft appeared and disappeared at a high rate of speed, faster than any aircraft I am aware of while working in the aerospace industry. Although the lights appeared to the naked eye to be solid and not blink, the video shows white lights blinking intermittently as if they were sending a code. The two people I have shown the video to are a retired federal agent and defense subcontractor which both have stated the aircraft was not of this world.

While waiting at a light at SR5 80 and Pinehurst, I noted a large, dark deltoid shape with multiple lights hovering in the sky. It reminded me of some craft I'd seen in UFO reports. I drove home, fairly nearby, and after stashing groceries decided to look for it again. As I stood in my driveway I did not see the craft but did note a number of white lights rotating among themselves in the sky. When I returned to my house several minutes later, the lights persisted.

The object was of a very bright orange color, too bright to figure out the exact shape, but they appeared to have a cylindrical body in an upright position, 3 in diagonal formation followed by 2 more and another diagonal formation in 3. They appeared flying over over north east Orlando towards south west over the Metro West area heading over Conroy Windermere and disappeared in the dark

I was driving (at 10pm, Saturday, December 19th, on Solana Road (west) in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fl. I looked up at the moon, and to the right I noticed a large group of orange lights. I noticed that a group of maybe 5 lights were in a perfect, straight line. Another group were grouped together like a triangle, and about 10 others were just spread out randomly. Sometimes they were blinking, and sometimes disappearing. After disappearing, they would reappear. There were no other lights on them anywhere. Some moved quickly around the others that were just drifting. I pulled over and watched for a few moments, trying to get a video. Nothing would show up on my phone so I drove home. I told my boyfriend, and we drove back down the road and he was able to see about 3 of them coming up over a golf course. Then they just disappeared. Very strange.

While walking home from an art show my girlfriend and I saw a silver metallic object that seemed to blink in and out of view flying across the sky. It had a bright orange tail like that of a comet that never changed its length trailing behind it like some sort of propulsion. Shortly after the first object began passing from view a 2nd object of the exact same appearance came into view following the flight path of the 1st object. There are several airports in the area and planes are a very common sight in the skies around here but in the 5 years I have lived here I have never once seen anything quite like these two objects.
