We heard a humming sound, but we are not sure if that could have been from some other planes that could have been in the area, it was a cloudy night and visibility was low. The ball/circle of light then went behind some low clouds and stopped for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Then it started traveling East. It bounced around in the sky, kind of like when someone plays with a Spin Top, we thought the reason for this was because the clouds were distorting our view. The light then dimmed out and faded away. We looked online for any other sightings of this light and did not find any. There was a smaller plane that was flying close to the ball of light that was traveling in a N/NW direction. We did notice that for the past few years there have been a number of sightings in this same area. We were not able to take a pic or video, but the pics and videos of people that have did record past events had taken pictures of lights that were similar to the one we noticed during our event.

At Babcock and US1, 4 big lights appeared in a partial triangle formation. They seemed to be above the Indian river shore by US1 and Babcock street. They didn't move, they just hovered for a few minutes, made no noise, and then they blinked out. They were white in color and didn't blink.

Orange Park, FL
I was driveway and thought I saw a falling star, however, the object in question seemed to slow into a sort of hover. I called attention to it and my near by friends. The object at first seemed like it was burning but was so bright it appeared to be glinting. I pulled my phone out and snapped a picture. It seemed to hover for around 40 seconds before rapidly ascending in a sort of vertical angle. I could see it for approximately 3 and a half minutes before it was no longer visible.

Walked dog and noticed two orange balls moving from east to west at helicopter height. Fireworks were done in my part of town and everything was quiet. These strange orange lights made no noise as they flew by me. I never saw anything like this and I got scared and called 911. I live by the wpb airport flight path and know the difference btween plane lights and stars. I see on you tube many people have witnessed what I did! I want to find out what that was that night! I jjust found out about the web site and this is why I did not report this earlier. If those orange balls are aliens, I sure hope they are friendly!

Bonita Springs, FL
A friend & myself, observed an oval shaped orange & white glow move across his house. It was approximately 1,000 to possibly 1,500 miles up. Came from the East, heading in a straight line West. It was silent, did not stop, but kept a straight path west, towards the Gulf of Mexico. It was oval shaped, glowed in orange, & had a sliver of white light. No lights were detected on this craft, such as an airplane or helicopter. I researched my sighting description online, & found exact images of what my friend & I saw from many others in many countries, termed as Japanese lanterns.

Noticed horizontal traveling red ball, like it was on fire. The redness slowly went away and object continued to steadily travel in a horizontal direction. It appeared to increase in size as it moved and be rotating. It disappeared behind trees. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

My husband and I were in our backyard watching Fourth of July fireworks. All of a sudden, we noticed an oddly behaving object in the sky. At first we both thought it was a firework. However the object began moving in an erratic and bizarre fashion. When we noticed the object it was to the right of our home and was approximately 400 to 500 feet above us in the sky. At first the object was moving slowly in a static diagonal pattern across the sky over our home. Then, without warning, the object immediately gained height in an instant and moved at a right angle in a way that we know current aircraft technology is incapable of accomplishing. My husband grew up with two parents that were in the US Air Force and is very educated on aircraft and aircraft technology and there was no doubt about what we were seeing. Even though I don't possess nearly the same knowledge, I immediately understood that no aircraft in our current technological arsenal could ever achieve the speed, the immediate and sudden altitude shifts, and the sharp turns exhibited by the craft we observed that evening. The object we witnessed glowed bright orange with a central mass that appeared to be a glowing orange cross. Bright orange radial spokes surrounded the central "cross," almost like the rays in a child's drawing of the sun. We estimate that the object was around 50 feet in diameter. We were particularly stunned over the fact that the object was silent. Aircraft fly over our home multiple times each day- in fact, the community neighboring ours is one that is geared for small aircraft pilots- all of the homes have small hangers on the property and there's a runway down the center of the community. Needless to say, we are very, very accustomed to passing aircraft and the associated noise. The object we witnessed was all the more unusual for its soundless flight. I'm a 33 year-old Psychologist, my husband is a 36 year-old Accountant (formerly with the IRS), and neither of us has ever experienced something so eerie and uncanny.

Around 10pm, I was outside on phone talking with my neighbor on the phone.. I was watching the fireworks on my street.. I then noticed a bright orange burning spear moving slowly down my street coming towards my condo, moving slowly coming from delprado towards county club.. I freaked out and told my neighbor to come outside asap..as I turned around twards my condo, there was another one behind my building..my neighbor was able to see it before it just disappeared..then we were in parking lot chatting about it, and then it came back with a white orb following it..then they just disappeared..what ever it was not not normal..im so glad that my neighbor saw it..otherwise I think people would think I was crazy..I tried to film it and take picture but it wouldn't show up??

Sometimes the light/color would become a brighter red or orange. The first object winked out towards the south while the second one stayed around for another minute before it to winked out towards the east. My daughter who was about 4 miles away also video taped one of the objects in her neighborhood around 9:25 about 15 minutes prior to our video. She has about two minutes of video but she said it was there hovering for around 4 minutes. I have video from two different phones which one is better than the other. But my daughters iphone video is really good.

Palm Bay, FL
I believed they may be helicopters in the distance. Until I saw a third and finally fourth come into view. Seemingly from nowhere. All four objects hovered in formation, and seemed to be slowly moving from west to east in the sky. The initial two lights flashes began to dull out gradually with each flash until just never reoccuring. The fourth light stopped flashing abruptly, and the third light had worked it's way to where the first two lights disappeared. The third light remained there for about 20 sec. Until slowly dimming away as well. I thought at first these may have been helicopters but the glow of the lights was different than that of a helicopter and the pulse and intensity was something I had not seen before.

My Father and I were in the backyard watching Fireworks when we noticed a double orange fireball flickering in the sky. It flew from East to West! A little later we saw the same object flying South to North. Right know at 21:39 we the saw the orange fireball flying from south east to northwest. Right know at 21:40 we saw another double fireball flying from northeast to southwest! These orange fires do not look like helicopters or planes. The most recent one just disappeared. The do not look like a blimp. Each sighting lasted no more than 5-7 seconds.

Panama City Beach, FL
During public beach fireworks displays, witnessed a square arrangement of 4 or more lights which seemed to belong to a single craft, colored green and white. Hovered in a tight location, did not move with wind, 200-300 yards from ground. Changed lateral location slightly, within 20 feet of original sighting, rotated slightly from time to time. Craft also exhibited whitish aura above it, though there was little to no overhead cloud cover which would reflect light at that distance. Initially considered craft to be a drone piloted from the ground. I walked several hundred yards closer to observe, overheard other witnesses pointing out a drone in the sky. No other lighted objects observed, no helicopter noise or otherwise was discernable. Began walking away from area, turning every 15 seconds or so to look again. Between glances the craft disappeared. Did not observe it leaving the area or descending. Drone theory still possible, but lights were brighter than aircraft marker lights and, being unfamiliar with drones, I am unsure if a drone could descend and land quickly enough to totally escape observation. Corroborating observations are encouraged. Attempt to photograph object resulting only in a blurred single light, with a iphone camera unable to distinguish individual points.

I went outside to watch the fireworks, at the moment I thought is was a slow burning orange-yellow mortar descending over the Polo field near where the fireworks were going off, but then after about 3 mins it started slowly rising, so I thought it may be a low hovering helicopter or a drone, but the light was bright and covering it's whole body. Then the light faded and a dark shape came in to view and slowly went up and down and faded out behind the clouds.

Pinellas Park, FL
These two sightings occurred between July 3-4, 2015), at approx: 10:30 & 11:00-11:30pm, respectively Define location where viewed as Pinellas Park FL (between Park Blvd/82nd Ave and 66th St/49th St) July 3: Three orangy, yellow round lights (orbs? craft?), slightly pulsating, traveling in unison, slightly triangular formation. Located at first sight from our location, due west, just beneath tree line. Moved 'upward' to about 75°, traveled slowly, steadily southward, then seemed to curve back westerly. Did not travel quickly out of sight as a plane, rather moved away & getting smaller, 2 dimmed a bit and disappeared. Third gave bright flash and disappeared. These objects appeared to be over about Belcher Rd to Alt 19 and, perhaps, Park Blvd or 54th Ave area (husband's estimation). These were seen by husband, self and 7 yr old grandson. Visible for approx 2 mins. July 4: After all local, neighbourhood fireworks ceased (a bit after 11pm), one orangy, yellow light (exactly like ones previous night), appeared...first viewed in NNW @ approx 45°. Traveled slowly southward; about halfway between N & due W from our location, object veered westward and appeared to ascend somewhat, growing visually smaller. Object continued up to about 80° (?); glowed slightly before ascending further and beyond naked eye view. About a half hour later, same type of object appeared, only closer to due W from us. Same basic 'flight' pattern as the one a half hr earlier, only more easily seen and tracked. This object traveled straight S to directly across from our house, still about 45°, veered sharply due W, ascended less steeply even than first. Grew smaller and eventually was unable to be seen. This object was visible for nearly 2.5 minutes (+/-) and was witnessed by husband, self, son (24), grandson (7), grandson (21) and grandson (25). At first we were thinking these might be 'flares', but the strict changes in trajectory suggested otherwise. Would surely like to know what these were.

I was driving, out of the top left corner of my eye I noticed something. I look and for a second I see a stationary green light, then once my eyes can focus on it, it rapidly moved east and faded out. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I was on the phone at the time looking at these objects and that is when things got weird. When these seemed to be "star like objects" kept disappearing and fading away then coming back I knew it was was not a star or plane. I could see planes landing and taking off in and around these objects. But these objects would stay in one spot for several minutes then fade away and show up in slightly a different spot stay still then get brighter the fade again. These were definitely not planes. And not drones because they faded way too fast and seemed to hover then me then disappear all in an instant. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Two days before this incident occurred, my daughter told me that she had taken pictures of something strange she saw in the sky across the street from our home. Two nights later when I went outside to grab my comb out of the car, I noticed an unnaturally bright star with a tiny little star at about 1 o'clock over & rather close to it on the right. (Like if U have a piece of card board '7 you stick a regular sized hand held flash light through the middle & poke a pencil size whole at the 1 o'clock position about three inches above & to the right of it). There was just something strange about the "stars" so I stood there for a minute or two longer. Before I knew it, the very bright star dims down to the exact same size as the tiny star. So I grab my phone out of my back pocket & begin record anything else that might occur. Oddly enough though, I suddenly realize that I do not see what I expect 2 see through my camera but a whole different scene... Two large glowing amber-white lights which become three, accompanied but some smaller colorful light changing colors & going on & off. The little light just keep appearing in different colors & flashing in like timed flashes. Larger one pop up & appear & go off. The most interesting thing they did was kid of like diagonal bright light of three or four at a time carousel in motion (for lack of a better way to say it) in two or three of the different videos. As I could not believe what I was witnessing, I turn in the direction that my daughter had taken her picture & noticed first two brightly lit light with three smaller white bluish lights underneath. Before long I realized that there was a much larger light over the both of... None of which I could see without the use of my cell phone. This was all invisible to my natural eye... I kid you not... I felt totally hypnotized & overwhelmed by what I had just witnessed. Knowing there was no logical way that I could explain what I had watched go on for the last 45 min.. I have at least seven decent videos & only one of the pictures my daughter took days before… ((ADDENDUM FROM SOURCE OF REPORT)) Im sorry... It was June 30 in the night @ about 11:30 or so til some time into 12am… ((END ADDENDUM)) Possible sighting of Venus and Jupiter? PD
