Tallahassee, FL
Stepped outside of restaurant located near center of city upon crest of large hill while Fast moving clouds reflecting orange light. Lit a cigarette while watching a helicopter leave the area of the hospital traveling south until sound of craft ended. A short time later, maybe 3 minutes (finishing cigarette,last two inhales) orb appeared in the far east with back drop of orange glow from city lights contrasting a pulsating red orb, moving across sky at approx 1500 feet above the deck with cloud ceiling approximately 500 feet beyond. Kept expecting to see white light from helicopter thinking it had swung around and returned but there was no light coming from this object. It was not making a sound. Clouds were moving west to east...orb moved east to west. It was NOT any kind of man made craft I had ever seen or witnessed before and changed in shape and dynamic...it was not a true sphere, shapes formed in the absence of surface as it seemed to pulsate only once! in my presence but continued on...the size of it was about that of a compact car but taller in terms of height, and seemed to be of a deliberate intention. No plane could move this way. More like a helicopter but what made the hairs on my neck stand up was that the sound I had just experienced never returned like I expected it to and when it was closest to my location I realized this was like no other object I had ever seen in my entire life...it just happened to be in the sky when I looked up. I could not account for 2 hours of my time between clocking out from work and the 10 minute walk to my apartment. My phone was at 100% charge when I left work, having been on the charger all night, was completely dead when I tried to take pictures.

I was laying in bed and out my window a green circular light started shooting down, it lasted about 2 seconds and it was fast. I thought it crashed so we went searching and found nothing.

Middleburg, FL
At approximately 1935 on Friday 20Nov15, while sitting around a fire in my backyard in Middleburg, FL, my father in law directed the attention of my wife, a friend of mine and I to the sky, where we witnessed a glowing orange ball of light traveling west south west just south of Jennings State Forest. The object appeared to be traveling around 130knts at approx 1500-3000ft. It was a clear cloudless night. We live 5 miles south of KVQQ (Cecil Field) and are on the ILS approach to 36R. There were 2 P-8 posiedons in the landing pattern practicing ILS approaches and we witnessed one Coast Guard Dolphin helicopter in the east traveling northbound. I fly in the Navy's P-8 Poseidon and have roughly 3000 hours in a P-3 Orion. I am also a licensed civilian private pilot. My friend/neighbor/coworker is also a 22 year active duty service member in the aviation field. We have never seen anything like this. We witness all types of military aircraft, drones and helicopters on a daily basis. This was neither, nor was it a missle in flight. It was not ballons given the speed they were traveling. The wind that night was variable at maybe 2-3 mph. This was nothing we have ever seen. After losing sight of the first orb to the WSW, 2 more with a few hundred yards separation flew over in a similar flight path. Through the course of the next 20-30 minutes we witnessed a total of 10 UFOS flying all in the same general flight path with minimal deviations in altitude and range from our viewpoint. There was no sound emitting from any of the objects, no major course or speed changes and no pulsating of light or strobes seen.

Leesburg, FL
I was checking traps in the swamp by my home. I was walking a game trail when went around a big oak tree. After I walked around the tree it was all of sudden almost dark. Like and hour went by in a second of time. The ground starting almost pulsating or coming to life. Everything around me was glowing from the sphere like object in the trees. The object was translucent and seemed alive somehow. It had a golden glow inside and out. It hovered over the line and then slower ascended overhead. Within a few seconds the sphere completely vanished like instantly. I was terrified to say the least and haven't ever spoken of this till just recently when a friend told me he had seen something similar as a child. I started researching and found this site so here is my report. Hope it helps.

Naples, FL
Around 8:15 PM, my girlfriend and I went outside to walk our dog. After about 2 minutes, we saw two objects moving slowly through the woods behind the house. They were about treetop level and initially appeared to be round and then flattened a bit into a teardrop or mushroom shape. The front most of the two went from a white-gold color to an orange flame hue. The second was smaller and its color went from an orange hue to a deep red color and both of them had black outlines. The smaller one almost had a tail to it. They moved in a southwesterly pattern, though they seemed to be independently "hovering" and gently glided past the house. The entire episode lasted about five minutes and we managed to get some cell phone video before they disappeared. Will try to upload the video and submit it to you, though unsure how much it will reveal. My girlfriend is drawing a picture of them.

St. Petersburg, FL
I am retired Air Force, used to be an Aircraft Mechanic, and then a computer repair technician working on Minute Man IIIs, Air Defense Sectors and Intelligence. My wife's father was a pilot for United for 36 years and she spent hundreds of hours flying. My wife and I both saw this, what is now described as a "tic-tac'. We were sitting on a bench that looked back towards St. Petersburg, FL across the intercoastal when the tic-tac appeared out of no-where in a cloudless, blue sky, then briefly stopped, then it flew south, strongly, without any typical winged air craft type motion. No trail no sound. I've seen hundreds of hours of aircraft flight. It moved quickly towards the south and suddenly disappeared. This happened the next day at pretty much the same time and same direction as if it was on a schedule. We've also seen the "tic-tac" like UFO going between the clouds, over the same area of St. Petersburg, FL.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/01/26/orange-yellow-ufos-over-florida_n_6544420.html but far southwest sky from Miami Gardens on late night of November 17th (think was correct date), definitely just within past week. I also had witnesses that saw same thing, but we saw 4 in almost a square design and a 5th appeared but soon went low below tree lines. Al seem to disappear but unk where. They appeared round , red, in sync.

I was just driving back home from work heading South on US 19. Right in front of me, this streak of multi-colored brightness with a huge tail streaks across US 19 heading east to west towards Dunedin. It was like a missile and it lasted for about 5 second and then just vanished. It was flying at an angle that would suggest it falling and appeared the way you would think something would catch on fire and create a tail if you threw it. It wasn't a reflection because I ALWAYS ride with my visor up on my helmet to let air flow in my face and I wear HD anti-reflective lenses in my glasses. Upon telling my story on my facebook, it turns out that one of my co-workers who drives the same way home and was a minute in front of me saw it as well. Could not have been firework due to size, angle, and demeanor. We are very close to airports so I definitely saw planes in the sky as well. I literally thought a plane was crashing or I was about to see a mushroom cloud on the ! horizon. I was mentally preparing myself for a shockwave to hit me off my motorcycle.

Panama City, FL
At abt 6:00pm CST on the way home from work my daughter and I saw a diamond shipped light in the sky to the east, just above the tree line from where we were sitting at a red light. The light was a brilliant bright white, and about the size of a cars headlamp (from where we were). The light flickered 2 times, dimming a little more each flicker, then went out however at nearly the same instant it went out, it lit back up a short distance away towards the east...in a straight line. I'm talking milliseconds here...then it did the same thing again. The 3rd time it faded out and didn't show up again. When this happened all I could do was yell "Holy crap it just time warped. Did you see that?!?!" My daughter yelled "I saw it mommy, I saw it too!" (She’s 10) When I say it moved farther east, I do not mean a great distance, it remained in the same general area of the sky. Afterword's we noticed an abundance of planes or jets in the sky flying thr! ough that same area from all directions...as if searching or investigating. I sincerely regret that I cant provide images, I was driving at the time. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

While getting my morning coffee I notice a weird light in the night sky. It was mostly round with an aura, its near dawn, but the light is clearly not the sun (still hasn't risen yet) I'm not sure what it was, no sound like a plane or helicopter, but very bright, conspicuous and haze around the light. I went outside and continued to try to make sense of what I was seeing. I watched the object until it dipped below the treeline. It moved in a mostly straight line motion (no weird turns or anything) but moved much slower than a typical aircraft flying at altitutde.

Osprey, FL
I saw this over siesta key (from my vantage point on the bay in Osprey) tonight at 7:30p. It was a large, orange-red, solid light that had another close above it. They started to rotate counter-clockwise and the distance between them and they grew larger; as I assume it was moving in my direction. It began a slow ascent laterally (to the south) at about a 45 degree angle and then vanished. It was followed shortly after by three separate large, solid, orange-red, solid lights that appeared (one by one) from below the horizon and followed the exact same path before disappearing. The sky was very clear with a few noctilucent clouds sparely about. There were approximately 3 planes present moving in different directions and at much higher altitudes (distinguished by their flashing lights). The odd lights I describe were much bigger, solid and different in color than any aircraft I have ever seen. The whole ordeal took about 20-30 minutes.

On Monday, November 9th, at about 9:40 pm, my boyfriend and I were sitting on my back porch smoking out evening cigarette. Almost 2 minutes after sitting there, my boyfriend shout "look, a shooting star." I look to the south west region of the sky and we both realize that it was in fact not a shooting star. What we were observing was a ufo. It was a blue rectangular object with a domed top. The object itself may not have been blue, but the aura around it had a blue hue. It seemed to be moving very quickly, as it was oby in the sky for 5-7 seconds, but crossed the majority of our sky, leaving no trail. In the moments after the object disappeared we heard a low rumble coming from the direction of the object that last 20 to 39 seconds. We have observed approximately 7 to 10 planes in the sky since the sighting that seem to be cross hatching the sky, perhaps searching for traces of the object, or the object itself.

On the night of November 9th, I saw a singular U.F.O come across the sky. The U.F.O was moving at rate faster than any plane or aircraft I've seen. The object had a light blue aura surrounding it, the aura had a tail as well. The tail was about 1/5 of total lenth. It appeared rectangular with a rounded front. It stared from the north west traveling south west. When it passed the rear seemed to have two white lights emitting out from it. Appeared to be similar to a torch flame. 30 - 40 seconds later we heard a low grumble. Shorty after seeing the U.F.O planes began to cross hatch the sky. There was approximately 5 - 8 planes in a large spread over the close area of the sighting. The planes then moved further out and back over the area for a time more than 30 minutes

Walked to the store to buy water and saw a huge green light going kinda fast above Falkenberg and 92. No sound, just a very bright green light then it was gone, so I went into the store to get my water. When I came back out there were 4 helicopters going in the direction.

Large, flame blue streak. Tapering at the tail. Like a huge, up close blue comet. Spotted 9:00 pm traveling south-west. Watched it appear over neighbors roof until it went below tree line across the street descending at maybe 10 degrees. Kept waiting for a crashing sound and nothing until aprox. 3 minutes later, husband and I heard distant rumbling sound. I pulled him outside saying I've never seen anything like this before, clear skies, no sound, until the rumble. Don't drink, don't do drugs, not actively looking for weird stuff. This thing was so bright , it MADE me look. This was no falling star. I've seen many of those. The blue looked like the flame coming from a butane torch, not individual lights. Also, not saying it was on the neighbors roof, that's where it entered my line of view. The size made it seem close, but I felt it was much further away than it appeared.

In reading http://www.nuforc.org/webreports/123/S123930.html I wanted to report that my Girlfriend, brother and I (as well as our 4 dogs, all of whom were disturbed by the sound) all heard a very low and abnormally long grumble sound the evening of Nov. 9th that caused us to go outside and try to identify its source. The mentioned report's description and time match what we heard, although we never saw anything (I reported that it was approx 8pm, but I am afraid that I don't remember exactly... Jeopardy was over... I remember that for sure). I can not stress enough how odd this sound was - both audibly and in duration. I think we must have heard the same thing your witnesses did. Probably no reason to post this as we didn't see anything but I wanted to let you know.

Early this morning, while letting my dogs out to go to the bathroom, I happened to look up and see what looked to be a really bright star at first, but it started fluttering around in the sky moving in ways no human aircraft could. The light would get brighter and dim out at times. Over the course of the time I was outside, I counted 6 maybe more lights all of them emitting this blue beam of light from the top of each one. I also saw much smaller lights shooting away from these but the smaller ones never stayed long enough to look at. I live right on the east coast of Florida and it looked like the lights were just off shore. I also heard what may have been military helicopters flying up and down the coast. My phone also started acting strange. I couldn't record anything because my camera takes poor video, but I turned the camera on my phone on and pointed it towards the light, couldn't make anything out, put my phone down and not even a minute later my phone shut itself off and showed a red and blue screen with commands on the screen talking about reboot processes. I just held the power button and the phone restarted itself and has been working fine since.

A ball of blue light fell down from the sky. I thought it was a shooting star but it did not shoot at an angle. It was straight down. Granted it was some distance from me. But it was straight down. Not at an angle. It disappeared beyond the tree line.

Homeland, FL
On this particular night there was low laying fog in patches everywhere. As I was looking at the tower lights I saw a blue to white light streak across the sky horizontaly north to south. I'm not sure if I saw it right when it lit up or just that it caught my eye but right when I saw the UFO the light immediately went out after traveling from peripheral to peripheral. It did not leave a steak in the sky is was able to see a focused light with no tail. It was impossible to access altitude or distance. I've seen meteors that were slow fireballs; meteors that were white and streaky, and meteors that lit up the sky and meteor showers. This was not that. I always look up when I can and this is a new one too me. No noise. No moon. Very clear skies. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
