Titusville, FL
While watching a Delta IV launch from Cape Canaveral last week, during excellent weather, I saw what I thought was a star just to the west of the moon. I thought it was a star because it looked like the often observed conjunction between Jupiter or Venus and the moon. But then, I noticed the object was moving slowly westward. My wife, daughter (15) and son (8) were there and I commented to them about the object, but they did not seem very interested. As I watched, I thought how much it looked like a star and wished I had seen it pass from the east side (my wife had commented that she earlier had seen it on the east side of the moon) to the west side of the moon, because it would have had to pass in front of or behind it. I observed the object and took several (approximately 18) photos. I was fascinated by the object, because I could not imagine what it was. After about 10 minutes, when I wasn't watching it as closely, I noticed it was gone. Looking at the photos afterward under magnification, there appears to be a much smaller light moving around the larger object.

Sunrise, FL
Sunrise, FL, July 22, 2015. I step out of my home to walk my dog at 11:30 pm and noticed directly in front of me, overhead, 6 circle objects flying in bird style formation, with one larger object trailing behind. The objects were very bright orange, had no sound, moving slowing and not that far about in the sky. Direction was from the south to north. The sighting lasted about 3 minutes and I watched them very closely as they disappear into the horizon.

Circular aircraft hovered over the beach at night very close to the ground about 100 ft away from my group of about 7 friends with a beam over the water for 2 minutes as if contemplating to abduct my friends and me. It left then came back, this time closer. It sat with the beam over the water then it went a way at a speed a plane is not capable of. I got a video as it flew away. All my friends say it was a plame but planes are not circular, planes do not have beams, and planes fly high in the air. Also airplanes have places to go, they dp not stop. Leave then come back and sit in mid-air. I've always kind of believed in aliens but now i know for sure

Tampa, FL
Late Tuesday night, July 21, 2015, around 11:30 pm to 11:45 pm I arrived home and got out of my car and across the field above the tree line in the low to mid part of the night sky I saw five orange/red spherical/oval lights slowly moving across the eastern sky from what seemed like a south to north direction. These lights were more or less in a line stretching about a fourth of the way across the sky as I watched them slowly move southward. They were not tightly spaced but had about same space between them: K One........Two.......Three/ Four (these two were one above the other with roughly the same ....... spacing, and seemed to be trying to get closer to each other) then........Five. They must have not been that far away from me because they were quite bright and bigger than stars. I don't know where they came from I just saw them there in that line slowly moving north. At a certain point (which oddly corresponds to where the visibility from my vantage point is unobstructed when looking at that part of the sky), the light of first object suddenly went dark, and after that when each of those objects reached that part of the sky they too sent dark. It seems that they may have continued on but moving east now ( but I could not be certain).This sighting occurred in Tampa, but in the Temple Terrace/Thontosassa area. These objects moved slowly, and I estimate I watched this for at least three minutes. I wondered if anyone else saw them? As watched it felt almost like they were putting on a show just for me as it took so long. I looked on-line, and it may be possible they were some sort of sky lanterns ( Chinese lanterns) as they are that color and move slowly. I can't be certain. I did not hear of any being launched. But it is a possibility. I always look up at the night sky and have never seen anything like what I saw ever before. However, there was a night in the summer of 2009 in which I saw on roughly that same area of the sky where the lights went off in last nights sighting; a strangely churning white cloud ( at night). I remember because I have NEVER seen a cloud churn and billow so fast. On that night I got a chill because I was driving home listening to a man tell a story about Moses and the cloud appearing in the mountain, when, as I pulled into my driveway, I saw this strangely churning cloud directly in my line of vision. It was late at night also and the synchronicity of what I saw and heard made me run for cover inside my house. So for me, I guess, that area of sky is indeed mysterious. I softened wondered if behind that churning cloud was a mother ship. Odd that the lights should disappear when they got to that part of the sky...

Holiday, FL
Red/orange, glowing, fireball floating quietly 200-300 ft in the sky. Flying south to north, slowly, and suddenly began flying east, fastly. It looked almost like a giant sky lantern that was burning out of control, but quickly realized it was changing direction and couldn't have been a balloon, there was no wind. My girlfriend and I thought it was a helicopter that was burning out of control, but we didn't hear rotars. We live near tampa and Clearwater airport and see a lot of air traffic, including helicopters, and are used to all types of aircraft sounds. This was flying too low and made no sound whatsoever. Even more interesting, just before we saw the fire all we both saw a very bright star in the Scorpio constellation which began to slowly ascend higher into the sky until it disappeared. I said, "do you see that?" Pointing at the bright star. She yelled, "WHAT IS THAT?!" Pointing at the fireball, which was floating quietly over the canal next to our home. We observed for a total of 1.5 minutes. There were intermittent, fog-like clouds flying by over head. But the fireball was below the fog. I am a prior service army veteran who was stationed with 1st cavalry division's air cavalry brigade, from 2006-2008, and have much experience with helicopters. The size of the craft, if you extend your hand out and close one eye, was about the size of a quarter.

I took a photo and I called my wife outside and we both watched it moving away rapidly. It was moving too slow to be a meteor, and was not a civilian plane.

Was getting out of my car after pulling into my backyard parking area near the downtown / Colonialtown area of Orlando. Noticed a very bright red light above my house that appeared to look like a red light on top of a cellphone tower with secondary small green light underneath flashing. I thought this strange since there are no towers nearby and one couldn't have been erected in 15 minutes before I went to the corner store. I reached for my phone but the battery was dead. I thought it was then perhaps a helicopter but there was no sound whatsoever. The object then made a quick movement slightly to the north and stopped. It then made a fast drop, like a stone, to the north west and got out of sight behind some trees. I ran out to the road and got a better view of it. It continued its path almost out of sight behind trees and houses. on the horizon. Before it slipped completely out of sight, it made a hard erratic 90 degree turn parallel to the horizon to the e! ast.

Palm Harbor, FL
We were sitting on our porch and saw a blue green light coming towards us. It made a fast U shape and froze, then it turned towards us and was an extremely bright white light. It stayed frozen for about 45 seconds it seemed as if time had stopped and we were both focused on this object then did a few more quick U shapes and went downwards out of sight. I have seen two others before but this one seemed to last the longest and did the fasted maneuvers. It was incredible. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Me and few two friends were sitting in the front porch when we saw this bright green light decent from the sky and Hoover over the sky for a while, and it stopped for a few seconds when it started moving at a very fast speed into the sky and disappear into the night, at first i thought it was a helicopter but it was too bright and fast moving to be a chopper.

I took a picture of a navy helicopter flying over as we were waiting for the recent Atlas rocket launch. Upon review of picture and while zooming in on helicopter, I found that I caught a picture of what I would classify as an unidentified flying object in what was closed air space at the time. Look left of the nose of the helicopter to find what I deemed as a ufo.

Sitting on porch, looking at sky, and saw what I thought was a bright star to the left of Venus and slightly above it. I sit on porch all the time and never seen it before then no more than five seconds after turning my head slightly I saw the light pulsate out of the corner of my eye and when I turned my head to look it was gone. I stood up to get better look and could not find the light anywhere. I could still see Venus, but I didn't see the light return or show up in another spot. It really puzzled me and I stayed outside for another 20 minutes and it never returned. What could it of been?

We took our dog for a walk, and when we looked up to the sky, we seen something in the sky there was no noise. It looked to be long with five green lights on it. from top to bottom. it lasted for about 45 seconds and then went beyond the tree line where we could not see it any more. while this was happening, all the dogs in the neighborhood were going crazy.

Clermont, FL
We were watching fireworks south of Clermont out of my window and saw a half-circle orange-amber solid glow just surfacing the horizon. Once we mentioned it, it disappeared as if a dark cloud had quickly moved in front of it, but we could still see a lit up glow underneath where it would have been.

Standing on my porch in the back yard and saw a red light flying in the sky that dissapeared to the west.. Then saw another, and another, all flying from different directions, at different times but disappeared in the same spot.. I'm in a spot where its dark and all the stars can be seen very clearly.. It was not a plane.

Spherical craft seemed to rise up from the approximate coordinate 28.569478, -81.307457 and pass due south over 28.539585, -81.305258. It traveled at a high rate of speed (from just above "horizon" to past and beyond the buildings to south in 15 or so seconds). It could have been traveling up and then went south or might have been further away and seem to be rising first. I estimate that is 3.5 miles in 15 seconds or 840mph. It also preceded a southward moving storm and traveling in the center of the airport landing flight paths. The object had no details or irregularities--just a plain sphere. I thought it might be the bulb of a helicopter at first, but it flew directly above me in clear sky and had no tail or rotor. It started white (almost bright as it seemed to be ascending) and turned grey as it passed overhead, like moving to the shadow side of a sphere but the sun was west and low at 6:30pm. I didn't have my camera ready (doh!) and my wife dismissed it as a helicopter at range and then walked away. Ultimately it is only my witness testimony…

Witnessed something tonight not sure what really, but if I had to guess must be ufo, it was orange in color seemed to do a radial rotation in the sky large envelope 6 mile radius best I could make out was orange light, at first my mom saw it and I was in disbelief the whole time cause it wasn't moving fast or anything just kinda doing this large circular movement like maybe 6 mile radius north to south so I thought it was normal she had been watching longer than me and she was insistent it was ufo so I got my only digital camera casio 7.2 meg shot some pics not sure what I got yet haven't even looked as I type but as I'm out there with my mom we watched it go out of sight and then from the direction it disappeared saw what I can best describe as a shooting star come from that same direction of the same caliber and same color my camera didn't get that part though only the part where it was moving slow enough maybe I got something I dunno.

Davenport, FL
My dogs became very alert and anxious to a muffled booming noise (similar to a door being slammed in the distance). When I peaked out of the window there was a cobalt blue light in the sky which seem to have movement. Thinking it was a reflection from an electronic device in my bedroom, I decided to go outside to confirm if it was in fact a light in the sky. To my surprise, it was. The cobalt blue light continued on a path to the North East from my location before disappearing in the distance a rapid lateral motion could be seen which made it seem impossible for a civilian plane. The light was a solid, non-flashing cobalt blue light. I have been a plane spotter and photographer for years, and have seen many civilian and military aircraft fl,y and it did not behave as such. Living in an area with many balloon flights which often have a light of similar color, I discarded the option due to its speed and path. Also discarded it being a rotary wing craft, due to its speed and rapid lateral movement.

As the one finished its circle it moved away as it was orbiting the stationary object. It stopped for about 20 seconds then slowly moved out of orbit and faded. The stationary sphere slowly faded about 30 seconds after the first one faded. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
