Tampa, FL
The air traffic is always heavy but has its dull moments. During a slow moment of air traffic I saw what I thought it first to be a flock of birds in a wedge or chevron formation. Within a second or two I realized it was not birds. It was a fuzzy, white mist like boomerang with the ends of the leading edges curved inward like a comma. I tried to pull my phone out of my pocket for a picture but couldn't take my eyes off of it. As it passed to the south, I had to jog to the north in the parking lot. I was losing my line of sight for the warehouse roof to my right/south, but still didn't get a picture. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Saint Cloud, FL
I was collecting the mail from the mailbox when I looked up over my house and saw a small light passing from SSW in the direction NNE direction as it was passing over us it was bigger after passing over us was getting smaller and then disappeared there was no noise coming from it either. I have seen Asteroids and Meteors and even had a chance to see a Soviet rocket booster reenter earth atmosphere and burn up. This was nothing like that none other light glowing from the sides like airplane or helicopter just a yellow perfect circle no flames no dripping fire floating pass at a high altitude.

2 friends on Facebook saw this strange object in the sky that the sleeping eye would think is a cloud. But I saw 2 of my friends post it an hour apart from each other. It seems like this cloud did not change shape.

Lake Worth, FL
It was late at night and I went to walk my dog. I saw what seemed to be a shooting star over my head. The sky was clear, and I looked up in awe. It trailed over my head and all of a sudden it stopped moving. I froze and stood there with goosebumps. After about 10 seconds, all I saw was a big light from what seemed to be the back of this object, and it took off at extreme speeds. If I had blinked, I would have missed it. I swear right after I could hear a pin drop, and it started to get foggy really quick. I panicked and rushed back home. My friend came over shortly after and asked what was wrong, that I looked like I saw a ghost.

Port St John, FL
Irregular-shaped object flew at a high rate of speed off the end of the dock over Indian River Lagoon between Cocoa & Merritt Island. As it did so it created its own lightning flashes along with it, illuminating the lagoon - had it not done so, & had I not been looking out over the water at that exact moment, I would have missed it, as it happened in a flash. If I blinked I would have missed it. Was smaller than a craft but larger than a bird. Was not raining, or windy, or particularly hot, or hurricane conditions, or any other extraordinary weather conditions. For several nights afterwards, around 2 in the morning, silent but strangely consistent lightning patterns could be seen between NASA & the power plant(s). (Photos & video available.)

They seemed to march along in a row, and then dissipate shortly thereafter. I did take my amateur photos and video!

Coconut Creek, FL
I left work at about 7:50pm, and rode home on my scooter. Along the ride, I noticed with deep compassion the moon’s beauty. The ride home took me no more than 10 minutes. I parked my scooter onto the drive-way, noticed my father had company over, open the garage with a garage door remote located in Parents’ car. I remained in my room from the moment I got home until 9:45, when the last of my father’s company returned to their vehicles parked outside. While I was in my room I visited and engaged with several websites as well as read several articles pertaining to what time the lunar eclipse would be occurring and was under the impression that I would not settle myself outside until around 1am on the 28th (when I thought the eclipse would start as stated in the articles that I read). After I was assured that each of my father’s guests had left, I made my way onto the back patio to take a quick glimpse of the moon and was shocked to find out that the eclipse ha! d already started. More than half of the moon was submerged in darkness and only a small quarter of light on its right (my right) remained visible I quickly returned inside to retrieve my notepad, phone, glasses and a thin sweater. I retuned outside and positioned myself facing east towards the eclipse, where I sat for approximately 15 minutes. During this time I was able to note at most 3 airborne objects (what I believed to be ordinary planes) taking steady course across the sky. A final craft (4th) rose above from behind the trees in my backyard in a motion I can describe as STAIGHT UP but NOT TOWARDS the NORTH. I did not focus on the object until it made a complete STOP well above the trees. The object was sitting plainly in the CLEAR night sky, with a sliver of light from the reflecting moon. The object, which I no longer thought could be a plane, had the same pattern of lights one of the three previous airborne objects that I noted in about the sky. A CONSTANT BLUE BASE LIGHT ACCOMPANIED BY ALTERNATING WHITE AND RED LIGHTS ON EITHER SIDE. My focus was transfixed on the airborne object and I remained a spectator until fear overcame me due to the unnerving sounds that were coming just off from the left side of the patio (my mother near the trash). During the period I remained present, the airborne craft moved horizontally to the west*right (A maneuver that to my knowledge, present day crafts were incapable of maneuvering) then horizontally to the east*left and finally centered itself back to where it had originally STOPPED. This horizontal motion occurred at least twice before I rushed into my home to call the first person that I could show while the airborne object was still in the air in its STOP motion. My mother, was the first person I made contact with after the sighting and I asked her to come outside and witness the airborne object. SHE DID SEE THE OBJECT IN THE SKY located above the trees and at that time it was in its STOPPED motion. I made her wait with me as we starred at the object that was STILL (nonmoving) in the sky. I was hoping the craft would maneuver horizontally as it did before, for my mother’s witness, but it did not motion at all while I and my mother were both gazing at the airborne object. She attempts to assure me that it was “just a plane going in an SLOW upward motion”. I attempted to bring forth other spectators such as my little brother and older sister, while my mother remained watching the airborne object in the sky. I returned to the patio no more than 1 minute later, while the object was (to our eyes) ini the same area I initially spotted it doing its STOP motion. My mother told me that the craft had simply “continued its upward motion” whi! ch would still have been visible to see because the clear and open sky. My mother returned inside to report the news that “I THOUGHT I saw a UFO”, sharing a laugh with my older sister and my little brother. I then pulled my little brother outside in spite of the current ridicule and attempted to tell him by words and pointing where I and mother had seen the object and I attempted to describe to him about the horizontal motions I witnessed. My brother made his final remarks and returned inside, siding at the end to ridicule me along with the rest of my family. I remained outside hoping that the object would return to its positioning but to no avail. I started my voice recording of the sighting. Noting that the time was precisely 10:20 pm.

Panama City Beach, FL
The lights changed colors and l noticed about all the colors of the spectrum. I grabbed my phone and took pictures, then video'd the object. The object continued to hover silently in one place. The object began appearing and disappearing, finally disappearing with one beam of purple light coming down from the clouds.

Marco Island, FL
25-30 light orange. Flying along coast. Flying slow. They were spaced out. Some were higher and some were lower. Saw from grocery store parking lot. Others in parking lot were taking pictures and a few people had pulled their cars over to look. Maybe military but seemed to high to be helicopters and too slow for planes. Not sure. Wanted to see if anyone else had reported it.

Panama City Beach, FL
3/4 mile high. Moved from East to West over the ocean, half a mile off shore. Silent. Steady motion forward, then skipped forward a little distance (too fast to see) and carried on moving as before, then it stopped in the air and turned toward the sea on its axis. After a while it moved toward the sea at the same slow speed. Then disappeared.

Riviera Beach, FL
Boomerang shaped white light object hovering for at least 45min witnessed by myself and fiance took photos and video of what we saw. Object then moved straight up not to left or right or down but straight up in normal pace. Second sighting on 10/13/15 same time as the last one object appeared to be the same thing and I have photos of this sighing as well.

Cocoa Beach, FL
While standing out on Cocoa Beach, my wife and I saw a triangle shaped object appear and travel up the coast moving at an extremely slow rate of speed. It had dim orange lights on the bottom of the object. It passed directly over us and made no sound at all then vanished. I never believed in U.F.O.'s until last night. It really startled me. I worked as a Deputy Sheriff for ten years and now work for the federal government. I have no reason to lie or make anything up. I would love to have someone's take on this if they've ever see this object before.

Orlando, FL
I had been visiting with a friend who was staying at hotel very close to Sea World in Orlando. We had been hanging out by the hotel pool. My friend took my wife to show her where the restrooms were. They weren't gone 2 minutes when I looked up at the sky and saw what appeared to be a ball of plasma or fire, yellow-orange in color. The object seemed to materialize, travel a short distance and then de-materialize 3-4 seconds later. It appeared to be approximately 1000 ft. high and about 500ft. In front of me to the North above FL-528 (Beachline). It was moving to slow and low to be a meteor. Estimated size approximately 15-20 ft. In diameter. Behind the object there seemed to be a disturbance in the atmosphere maybe 30 ft. long, and appeared to have a heat shimmer effect. I don't believe it was ball lighting because there were no storms in the area and even humidity was relatively low for Orlando, this time of year. An interesting couple of notes to this sighting. This 'ball of plasma?' appeared at the exact moment in which I thought of a UFO sighting witnessed by a friend of mine that occurred in a neighborhood less than 2 miles from this one. Also, there is a major defense/aerospace contractor located less than 2 miles from my sighting. I will send an image which I pulled off the internet that very closely represents the object that I witnessed.

Pembroke Pines, FL
4 objects flying over Pembroke Pines. First one, a V-Shaped.. Silent and heading Miami direction. Second one, a bright multicoloured ball flying in zigzag, going north (Orlando direction). Third and Fourth one were similar bright lights flying together side by side heading Miami (same direction as the first one). None of them made sound. Totally silent.

Miami, FL
I was outside looking the stars. The night was with no clouds and clear. It was nice for me to see what I can describe as a Manta Ray Shape UFO. It comes from North West to south west. It was transparent, I can see the stars through that. It was huge and moves smoothly. That Manta has no lights at all, no sound. It has like a gray or white border around the shape ant that is the reason I can tell it was like a Manta Ray. Very impressive. I've seen other UFO's but nothing like this.

Santa Rosa Beach, FL
I saw three spherical objects appearing as the size of a dime from my perspective. I used my binoculars to confirm the spheres were not an optical illusion. One north at about a 60 degree angle and two north northeast, one at about a 55 degree angle, a third below it at about a 40 degree angle. They seemed stationery (hovering?) I noticed 6 spokes. They looked like wheels with sparkling white lights on the wheels and spokes evenly spaced. The spokes seemed to protrude beyond the wheel. I think I saw flashes of blue from time to time. Two major air force bases in the community make the possibility they are drones a distinct possibility. I did not bother to look long as they were not moving. I am an 82 year old bird watcher and not prone to hysteria. I hold a masters degree in the humanities (theatre and philosophy).

Longboat, FL
We were lying on the beach, looking at the stars, and noticed 3 lights in a V-pattern moving in abnormal fast directions. At times we could see parts of the craft body due to distance. It went on about 15 minutes and was our first sighting

Pace, FL
Two red lights floating slowly and silently above Pace, FL, they were heading southwest toward Pensacola. Their altitude was not discernible nor was their actual speed. After about 4 to 5 minutes the first light dimmed and went out. Then shortly thereafter, the second light went out as well.
September 12, 2015 · 10:19 PM · DIAMOND
Miramar, FL
I just saw a neon green flashing diamond in the sky I live in Miami so they often have light shows but this one was singular and disappeared after a couple of seconds anyone who looks up at the night sky had to see, but it is what it is, it was moving fast and I was waiting for it to come down but it disappeared I'm not going to tell anyone because I didn't see where it came from but I will repeat this anyone at that time that was looking in the night sky saw it.

It appeared out of no where about 100ft up and it moved slowly, panning its red light back and forth, then shut its light out. No sound
