Sanford, FL
On Saturday, December 19, 2015, between 3 and 4 pm, I witnessed a circle of clear, distinct yellow lights appear in the sky and then disappear. I would explain it as if a light switch had been turned on and then off in the sky. The shape was a perfect circle. I witnessed it from my vehicle, windows down. My two children were with me but did not see it, as it only appeared for a brief moment. We were pulling out of the Sanford Municipal Cemetery on 46A facing north - the object was in the northeastern sky. The sky was grey overcast yet clear with mild temperature. It was distinct. My immediate thought was that the sight was strange, - I had never seen something like that in the sky, but then I dismissed the lights as having been either a firework or blown transformer. I mentioned to my 9-yr-old son that I saw the lights and he asked me if it looked like a "ferris wheel" - which is exactly what it reminded me of - but it didn't have "spokes&qu! ot; in the center, just the perfect dots of light. He said he had read about ferris wheel UFO's - I dismissed his statement. I am submitting this report today (approx 2wks later) because I have yet to figure out what I saw. There were no fireworks sounds at the time - and the circle was perfect, not oval, slanted, etc. I had never seen anything like this before.

Pembroke Pines, FL
I was parking in my parking space and I noticed something big above my two story building. I've never seen anything like that. It was massive, diamond shaped object. It was moving very slowly and it made no noise. It had only few lights and it looked dark gray like a machine would. By the time I got out of my car, it was gone.

Loxahatchee, FL
Observed a round light traveling up and down, back and forth traveling away from us. The light resembled what a star would look like except it was moving and would flash red. We sat in chairs in the yard and continually had to move them to continue to watch as it slowly drifted further away from us. We watched for an hour until it was to difficult to see any longer. Sighting of Venus or Jupiter?? PD

Tampa, FL
At about 9:30 p.m. when he witnessed a strange light in the sky. There was about 11 of us who witnessed it. It was a large white light that hovered about 45 minutes, and then disappeared within a split second. I live within a half a mile from MacDill Air Force Base, so I've heard of UFO sightings near bases. This is the first time I have witnessed this. I have also witnessed another UFO sighting when I was about 9 years old. I am now 43. I don't remember too much of the details on that sighting.

December 11, 2015 · 9:30 AM · DISK
Orlando, FL
While driving east bound on I-4 near the 434 exit, I saw in the sky a disk that had a reflective dome on top, at first I thought it was a plane turning and its wing was lifted up but as I watched the object didn't move and the reflective dome disappeared to leave just a disk shape sitting there for about 10 seconds then it just disappeared. There was not a cloud in the sky so I know it didn't fly away. That is what made me realize it was not normal. This was a Friday morning and there was a lot of traffic on the road so I believe someone else must have seen this too.

Jacksonville, FL
This is the 2nd time a pulsating object has been seen in the same part of the sky in the past 2 weeks. This object appears to hover and has pulsating white light that appears to move around the object. There is also a noticeable blue light that is only seen sometimes. My first encounter was about 2 weeks ago and I quickly went to get my husband and was also joined by my daughter. We all agreed it was not a plane or helicopter. On this occasion, I noticed another smaller pulsating light to the right of the first one. I don't know how long either of them stayed as I only watched for around 30 minutes. Last night, I showed both my parents, this was after my husband and daughter both viewed it first. My dad said it could be military and it might be over water. It was quite a distance away. We watched for around 15 minutes. The object never moved. Possible sighting of Sirius? PD

St. Augustine, FL
Driving on beach A1A in St. Augustine, Florida, going west - approaching main A1A. The sun had set and it was already getting dark. From about halfway up in the Southwest sky a very bright light appeared and proceeded to fall rather arched toward direct west (if I was facing 12 o'clock this appeared in the 11 o'clock position and fell downward toward the 12 o'clock position). I thought it was a shooting star but it remained just as bright as it fell, no tail, no fireball appearance - just a very large and very bright yellowish white color - moving very fast. Lost sight of it at the tree line but did not see an explosion or any indication it hit the ground.

Tampa, FL
I had just got done eating at Boston Market because I did not feel like cooking. As I was walking out towards my car. I saw two orange fireballs flying in V-shaped formation, then disappearing. I could been less then 1-2 miles away if that. So I decided to keep driving, then I saw only one just hovering and pulsating at a distance as I was driving out of Tampa going north. So I decided to turn around and it was gone when I tried to pull over. This particular area is directly in the middle approach path of Tampa International Airport runways 16L and 16R. There had to be more then just one person who had to have seen this. At first I thought they might of been helicopters or fighter jets. But I ruled that out because I've seen many aircraft land and neither of them were bright orange as the two objects I saw

Dunedin, FL
Driving down us19 I observed 3 bright flickering lights hovering over Dunedin. When I stopped at the light by the mall, a silent grey v-shaped ufo slowly flew right over my car. We cannot be certain as to whether this is intended as a serious-minded report. The witness elects to remain totally anonymous, and provides no contact information. PD

Matanzas Inlet, FL
On December 8, 2015, I was taking photos on the beach at Matanzas Inlet, near St. Augustine, Florida. I did not notice unusual while taking the photos, but when I transferred the digital files to my computer and started to choose some photos to resize and add to my photo galleries, I came across one photo that seemed to have 'something' unusual in the background. At first I thought it was a bird…seagull, pelican, etc., as many were flying above the beach that day. But as I zoomed in, I could see a crescent/boomerang shaped object.. it appears to be metallic. This particular shot was taken above the dunes and grassy area, facing south toward the inlet. The photo was taken at approximately 3:00pm on a sunny and clear day. I didn't observe any people or mechanical equipment anywhere in the ares of this object. There were no sounds or lights. You can see it is not a bird (there is actually a seagull flying further off and behind, to the left of this object. No changes have been made to the original photo. Kite for sky-surfing. PD

One of us could also notice that one of the lights had in the lower part a few red dots on what seemed like supporting legs or even tentacles.

New Port Richey, FL
I was returning from a trip to my gym, when I suddenly noticed an orange fireball in the sky. I was travelling north on little rd. As I drove on a second orange fireball came into view travelling behind the other one. I knew these couldn’t planes because of the fireball appearance. At that point I was looking for a place to pull over so I could observe them and take a picture with my Canon camera that travels with me all the time. I finally pulled over into an entrance and stopped. By that time there were now to my left. Very orange in appearance and fiery. I fumbled around with my camera and by then they had moved farther away, making a picture not possible, or at least a good one. I then pulled back out onto Little Rd., and from that vantage point, farther away and still to my left, they were dimmed in color, still orange, but now appearing translucent and glasslike. They were moving at a fairly slow pace, approximately 500 – 700 feet in altitude. I know other people had to see these objects as they were so bright and orange, fireballs, and completely silent.

Lake Buena Vista, FL
Circular crafts with white lights around the center, hovered for a moment before ascending. At Walt Disney World parking lot, dark and disk shaped. Colors/lights were stationary, checked around the area in the day light and nothing would have been able to recreate that.

The shape resembled that of a tire in the sense that the middle of the circle was black/hollow while the "tire" was orange. It moved smoothly across the sky then appeared to skip or bounce before fading out of distance. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Clearwater, FL
the ufo jet started away and the fighter followed but could not keep up at all! I looked like the fighter jet was trying to strech it straight out, but the ufo jet was 2x or 3x the speed pulled ahead until it was gone. first time i've ever seen this awesome occurence.

Apollo Beach, FL
I am a bio engineer, currently working on a US Army contract. I say this to ensure my credibility. My daughter, her 2 friends, and myself all witnessed a craft that is unexplainable. It can be described as what first looked like a Chinese lantern, but after a few seconds, it became apparent it was not. It was orange in color, moving at a very high rate of speed, from north to south, with a slight zig zag motion. We watched it for about 12 to 15 seconds, and then it vanished. It was about 10:15 at night. Without question, it was not a satellite, meteor, plane, balloon or anything I've ever seen in videos or in person. This was, without a doubt, a controlled craft of some sort.

Tallahassee, FL
Was driving on Stadium Drive and W Pensacola Street-- since I was in the car, I couldn't watch the whole time it was visible or take pictures. It was an equilateral diamond with blue and red lights at each vertex, flying southeast at high speed. By the time I pulled into my parking lot about a minute after first seeing it, it was no longer visible. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
