Tallahassee, FL
My girlfriend and I were sitting on the front porch of our home located on the western side of Tallahassee, FL. I was on my phone, looking up something on the internet, when she asks me, “What’s that?” I turn around to see an orange light in the sky. From where I was sitting it was moving right to left, seemingly in the direction of Panama City. At first, I didn’t think it was out of the ordinary. But then we saw lights dropping from object. I pulled up the camera on my phone and zoomed in while my girlfriend ran inside to get a roommate to come see. I tapped the video button on my phone to switch from camera to video recorder and I assumed it was recording but unfortunately you have to hit the red circle and I was too focused in on the object to notice that it didn’t record. While zoomed in, the object appeared to be oblong in shape, but it was hard to tell as the resolution wasn’t that great. The part that really intrigued me was the lights that fell from the object. It reminded me of molten metal, dripping from the object. The lights were exactly the same color as the object, as seemed to burn out shortly after separating from the object. After watching the object for 2 or 3 minutes, it started to dim, and dim some more until it was gone. It disappeared before it should have left my line of sight.

Longwood, FL
7 red-orange fireballs flying across the night sky during the crescent moon. They were round like a fireball with these amazing blue/white lighting (not typical fluorescent lighting). They were slowly moving in formation, then out of formation making a diagonal line (somewhat), then disappeared into the dark clouds heading northeast.

Was just out walking my dog and looking up at the stars. I observed two lights that were in line with each other as if one was chasing the other. They moved at the speed that I usually see in rockets from the cape. I observed both objects for approx. 2 minutes until they got dimmer and I could no longer observe them. They looked similar to satellites but it's too late in the night to observe. Not to mention it was two in tandem. I am a current law enforcement officer with many years on night shift, so I am very familiar with flight paths of incoming and outgoing flights over my airspace.

I was outside having a cup of coffee enjoying the morning sun before going to work. I was doing some stretching and yoga and laid back and looked up at the clear blue sky. A star like object caught my eye. At first I thought it was a jet at very high altitude with the sun's light was reflecting off of it. However, it was not moving. It was stationary at very high altitude. Not flickering, not flashing. no changing color. Just a star like object stationary for at least 30 min. During this time I called Tallahasse airport and asked to speak to the tower. After being shuffled around and having to tell my story severaL times, I spoke to the tower and they did not have anything on radar. I also took approximately 10 photos with my smartphone. I could not tell if I had got the object in the photos but I did notice while taking them that a contrail was present in my camera screen, but not visible to my naked eye. I then went in to work, and looked at the photos and saw the pictures did capture the contrail, and a couple did have the star object but only visble on greater magnification, although somewhat fuzzy. Most interesting are the round shadow like objects captured in the photos but not visible to my naked eye. I also captured a jet in one photo and it does give one a bit of a perspective. Could it have been Venus, Jupiter, or Saturn visible at 8:30 am on a bright sunny morning? I dont know. I think it was really a object at very high altitute maybe 50-100,000 ft. There were a couple of jets that went by during the event and this object was higher. The contrail and round grey shadow objects appear to be at different altitudes. I dont think they are ghost images or reflections off of something. I took several photos with them in the photos and they are in the same location (using the playfort fabric roof as a reference point). I am sure I moved around and took each photo from a slightly different location, yet the objects appear in the same location in the sky. Maybe you guys have someone that can analyze the photos.

My teenage son and I were behind our apartment. His hamster had passed and we were looking for a spot to bury her. We looked up and saw what, a first, we thought was a tower with lights that we had not noticed before. It was a bank of lights that were very bright and a bit blurry so I cannot be certain how many - I would say four or five, my son thinks three. These lights were in a straight line and, as I said, we thought this was a tower we had not noticed before because the lights were very low in the sky. However, when we looked up again they were closer. There is a small craft airport near us and had the lights been headed in that direction or coming from that direction I would have dismissed them - they did neither, however. The craft was slow, much slower than a plane or a jet would have been especially at that altitude. As it drew closer we could see that the object was triangular. All of the lights were very bright, and all white. It passed over us s! lowly, seeming to get lower as it went. Because the lights were so bright we were unable to see anything distinguishing other than the shape and an obvious metallic sheen. As it passed overhead we heard a noise no louder than a semi would make passing on a highway. This sound was much lower than any jet or plane - however small - I have ever heard. We could talk easily in low voices and hear each other though it was quite close. As it passed overhead we ran through the breezeway of our apartment and out to the front where we watched it - still extremely low - pass over some trees and out of our sight. We watched the skies, and listened, for a full half hour but did not see it return. We were concerned maybe it was some sort of plane that was crashing as it was so low but, as I said, it passed much too slowly to be a plane. We heard nothing after that, nor did we see anything more. As it did not leave from the direction of the small airport nor did it travel in that directio! n I do not believe it was a small aircraft. It was, by far, on! e of the oddest things I have ever seen in my life. We have lived in this area for three years and have seen a lot of different small aircraft traffic from the little airport near us but this was like none of the planes we have ever seen. Nor was this any type of glider.

Got a large round white object using night vision, much larger than a satellite and moving faster than a normal satellite. Satellites are usually dim and slow moving. I checked on the ISS and it was over Africa at that time this morning. What was unusual was as the object crossed the sky another object seemingly in its path but unseen suddenly lit up and moved away from other object as if avoiding it before going dark again. I thought this very strange and worthy of a UFO report. I will include screenshots of the objects. Thanks.

For the past two nights, me and my husband have witnessed 4-5 flickering lights move into a v shape ( on its side) all the stars in this formation were flickering and slowly moving back and forth. It happened twice now in the same exact spot and a military stealth plane has been circling around it for a few hours now. It's really weird. We tried to take photos or video to no avail.

My father (62/M), retired sheet metal worker, my son (8/M) & myself (31/F) mother of 3, w/an education level of an A.A degree, all witnessed this amazing phenomenon. I couldn't have asked for a better mothers day gift! @ 21:00 I stepped out onto the back porch, which faces west, & saw this very strange "thing" in the sky. It took a moment for my mind to comprehend what my eyes were seeing. In all my years I have never seen anything that even remotely resembles this craft. The first thing that was unusual about it was the color of the lights & the multitude of lights. The lights were so beautiful & vivid, seeming to twinkle rather than blink, ranging in color from red, blue, green, white, & yellow. The lights also gave away the sheer size of the craft. I would hate to make an approximation on the size of this craft, other than to say, IT WAS VERY LARGE! The lights also gave a clue to it's shape, which seemed to be of a saucer/disk shape. So, now that I was fully aware that I was witnessing something otherworldly, I called for my father & son to come & see it also. By this time as well, I have made the observations that this craft is neither making any sound nor is it moving. I proceeded to walk outside & see if I could get a better look. As soon as I did, from behind the treeline, ANOTHER craft became visible! I couldn't believe my eyes. Not one, but TWO, of the most amazing things I've ever seen. An exact replica, & they mirrored each others movements. By now, approximately 7 minutes had elapsed & they continued to hover for roughly 3 minutes more before slowly moving, in tandem, westward. They traveled a good distance before stopping once more to hover & then I watched them as they slowly moved across the sky until thier lights were no longer visible. The whole time, seeming as though they were perfectly in sync w/one another, they kept the same amount of time to hover, altitude, speed & distance between them.

Craft seen hovering over Casselberry, FL. The craft first flew into clouds, went around the clouds, then tilted left to right then as it was tilting it flew up about 20 feet then it flew down about 30 feet. Then it stood still for about a minute, then craft slowly started climbing elevation until it got to small to see.

We just saw this 3 red things in sky but their light was like a candle flickering and then it would go off completely and then come back on...weird.

Ormond Beach, FL
Early this morning, 1:30 AM, at Ormond Beach, Fl. My wife and I witnessed beach and sky activities as follows: Orange, red fire structured presence on the beach, winked gone reappeared high in the sky three times (clock referal) 10.00... 2:00 3:00. Facing due east. All winked gone in 12 seconds. My wife witnessed the third sky site, proceeding south. Likely unrelated, our building lost one third power today at 1:30 PM. ((name and e-address of witness deleted)) We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he seemed to us to be quite sincere and sober-minded. He stated that he did not believe that the objects could possibly have been so-called "Chinese" lanterns. PD

crazy orange light sitting in the sky for two hours now. whipping around little light balls and sucking them back in like moths flying around a bright like when they get near they get sucked in by the light. Still, there right now doesn't look like its going anywhere.

Ft. Lauderdale, FL
At approximately 11:25 p.m., I observed a very large object off the coast, due east of my location. It was approximately the size of a full moon. It looked to hold a constant altitude and was slowly moving north to south. It was shaped like an oval on its side and had bright burnt orange light emanating from it. The bands of light were roughly vertical and were moving from left to right on the object. The light seemed to bend, with the ends of each band curving towards the center. When the light bands were towards the left side of the object, the ends bent to the right. When the lights had rotated to the right side of the object, the bands bent to the left. As the light bands reached towards the center of the object they appeared vertical. It was observed during the beginning of a lightning storm a few miles off the coast, just about where the Gulf Stream scoops and towards the coast. After maybe 15 minutes it quickly faded and the disappeared, possibly into ! the clouds. Shortly thereafter I heard choppers but saw no lights. Very strange for around here as we have a lot of air traffic and to run without lights would be extremely risky. I tried to snap a picture but considering it was with the camera phone the quality is very poor. We spoke via telephone with the source of this report, and he sounded to us to be quite sober-minded. We suspect that he is a very good witness. PD
