Spring Hill, FL
Last night, at around 9:15 pm, my wife was sitting in our Lanai and saw this large Orange oblong shape that seemed as if it were a fire ball. It moved slowly from the north to south east. It lasted at about 15-20 minutes before it seemed to have disappeared.

Orange Park, FL
First and foremost, I need to state that I selected fireball as the shape of the craft because that's the closest description. I posted a video on YouTube and will provide a link at the end of this report. On May 7, 2015, I was standing with a buddy on our friend's front porch having a conversation when, above the house across the street, we see a bright orange ball cutting across the sky, moving from north to south. At first we thought this was a fireball or maybe a meteor falling thru the atmosphere (in the video you'll hear me state this). After a few moments I change my assumption because there was no discernible smoke trail, indicating that it couldn't be a fireball. We followed this object for a few minutes until it became difficult to see. I need to be clear about a couple of things that lead me to believe this is a UFO. When we first saw the object we assumed it was a fireball since it was coming towards us and we could see the "heat shield" as if it were falling thru the atmosphere at us. The reason I changed my assumption is because we got turned around 180 degrees from the porch we were standing on and could still see the same "heat shield" from the rear of the object and there was no smoke trail. It couldn't have been a modern day jet or plane either because we wouldn't have seen the jet's flame until it was going away from us but we clearly saw the color as it was coming towards us and going away from us. Here is the link for the video. If you have any information please leave a comment on the youtube page.

Just out in my lanai; happened to look up and saw a huge light moving from East to West. Moved over my cage/house and couldnt follow it. Very fast bright light; no sound. Looked to be very close to my house.

I was standing in my living room and got up to close my blinds when some bright lights caught my eye. I saw approximately 8-10 bright orange round objects moving from east to west at about the same altitude and speed. They were not airplanes. I opened my window to listen but they made no sound.

Tampa, FL
At approximately 2:30, in the afternoon on 05/06/15, I was heading south on Dale Mabry Highway near the Northdale Drive area. The sky was overcast in patchy sections where there were areas of clear sky between the clouds. Cloud ceiling looked to be around 6-7000 feet. I glanced up at an airliner that was making an approach to Tampa Int'l Airport, traveling on a SSW heading. I estimate the aircraft's altitude at about 3,500-4000 feet. As I watched the airliner, I spotted another object drop out of the clouds above and slightly in front of the airliner. The object was shaped like a football with the ends more narrowly pinched together. It was uniformly gray in color. It described a smooth arc downward for maybe 500' or so, then pulled up and into the next cloud bank. The sighting lasted only a few seconds, but the object was clearly visible, and I could see the airplane and the object together. I would estimate the object to be slightly smaller than the airliner so perhaps 100' long. It had no wings, engines or other visible characteristics or marking. Its movement was very smooth and fluid. I'm not sure if anyone on the aircraft was in a position to see the object as it was almost directly above them and perhaps 1000-2000 feet higher. When the object ducked back into the clouds, I continued driving south in hopes I might see it again but it did not reappear. Not sure what it was but very unusual looking and appeared to be controlled. It was moving slightly faster than the aircraft so maybe around 200-250 knots. I am something of an aviation buff but this did not resemble any aircraft that I know of.

Titusville, FL
Oblong, bright, yellow/orange objects appeared in north passing overhead and disappearing about 30 to 40 degrees above the horizon in the south. They traveled in a ragged single file with 2 to 3 objects constantly visible. As one group of 5 passed over, two of the objects changed position in relation to the other objects. The objects continued to pass for about 10 minutes with 10 to 12 objects passing. The objects were all about the same in intensity during approach, overhead and departure. These were not aircraft and were completely silent, no anti-collision/landing lights.The sky was clear during the time the objects were passing.

Holiday, FL
We were all sitting out there noticing a bright light in between two stars... the light seemed to shift back and forth and seem to get brighter and dimmer, it stayed in the sky for about an hour in the same spot. We looked away and looked back up and it instantly was gone. Also would like to mention looking through the report database, there is something coinciding with the month of July. Seems to be when the most sightings are reported

Steady light, brighter than normal star, never moved as other stars did. Looked as if light was sweeping down back and forth as if looking for something or somewhere. Than gone in an instant.
April 28, 2015 · 10:40 PM · DISK
Crestview, FL
The moon was blocked out to a sliver with a very sharp shape. As I observed the moon, thinking it was supposed to be about 3/4 from full, the disk began heading east with the clouds leaving the moon at it's appropriate size. As the disk (guessing at about 1000 ft in diameter) traveled above the clouds, it was going slower than the clouds, but it's shape was clearly visible through the clouds as a perfect disk and unlit. I realized what I was seeing was the shadow on the clouds from the moon. After about two minutes, it veered north and passed across some clear areas and appeared as a huge very black disk against a lighter sky and blocked out every star above it until it passed letting me once again see them. This took about 4-5 min., until it passed over a thick bodied cloud and was then gone from view.

It appeared out of north west of my location in Kendall. It moved like nothing I've ever seen in the sky. It flashed colors. A plane came into sight approaching mia international. The craft dipped out of the sky. A few minutes later out rose up again hovered to the right and alchemy descended again. 4 witnesses in total.

Miami Beach, FL
At around 11pm I was sitting in my living room. I live in a high-rise in Miami Beach and I have a city view. I was looking through the open sliding glass door, (I was sitting in front of), at the time, when suddenly a bright light appeared from behind a building. At first, I thought it was fireworks, but I quickly realized that this was not the case. It was seemingly in close proximity and flying at about the same height as my apartment. I am on the 5th floor and these things were in my line of view, looking due west, and were visible for a few seconds. The only way I can describe them is that it looked like flying fire. They were 5 or 6 feet across, in my estimation, maybe larger. They appeared solid, not translucent. What I could see was a flat surface which didn't look to have much if any depth. They came from behind buildings that lay in my line of vision and then disappeared from sight the same way, going behind another adjacent building to the north. If I had to guess, I would say that it was about a block or so away! First there was one, then a second appeared, which seemed to split off the other. They moved in a way that could not have been fireworks, swirling around themselves, or interacting for a moment and then speeding off to the north. As these fiery things moved through the air, the tail of the flames undulated in such a way as resembling a flag in the wind. As it did so, small flames were left behind like a trail, but immediately dissipated. Gravity and the laws of physics had no effect. There was an absence of smoke and sound, so I rule out fireworks. There was nothing to indicate to me that there was any human involvement and it was unlike anything I've ever imagined. I was quite shaken after seeing that, somewhat frightened. I don’t know if I can correctly recall the color, but it was bright and looked like fire. I believe it was orange and red but there could have been other colors. I was so astonished and it all happened so quickly, but I got a very good look at them. They, whatever they were, had no apparent shape, other than the appearance of fire. It could not have been a projection. The was nothing in the air space where they appeared for them to be projected on to, and they were above the lower 2 and 3 story buildings in the space where I could clearly see them. I ran out to the balcony, but by then there was no sign of them. I occurred to me that someone else must have seen it. I have lived in this apartment for 5 years and I have gazed in this direction countless times. I have tried to figure out what happened that night, lost sleep over it and have come to the conclusion that either I had a hallucination, or I witnessed something unknown, not to mention extremely bizarre by any standard. Since I am not prone to “seeing things” then I tend to believe the later. It’s very strange circumstances, because the objects, if I can call them that, appeared in a densely populated area with many tourists and people walking around. South Beach is very active at least until 2AM. Before midnight there are scores of people and heavy traffic in my neighborhood. How could I have been the only one to have witnessed it? I was out on my balcony immediately when I saw them, but like I said, they had disappeared by then. I am less than a block from where it seemed to have occurred. I heard no exclamations or commotion. I also did not see any smoke or hear any explosions such as fire works-I definitely would have heard that. This is such an unbelievable occurrence that I have trouble believing it myself. Nevertheless, I saw a pair of self-illuminating fire like objects flying through the air with what seemed to be some form of intelligence. I have no idea what it was, but it was unlike anything in from my imagination. It was but for a few seconds, but I will remember it forever. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Yes, Peter. After review it was Tuesday, the 25th, not Monday the 24th. My wife and I had gone out to dinner that night and I am certain the sighting occurred after that. It was definitely Tuesday night the 25 and not Monday the 24th. Thanks, ((name deleted)) ((END ADDENDUM)) We have amended the date above, in order to reflect a sighting at 23:00 hrs. on Tuesday, April 25, 2017. Please see other reports from Florida for the same time and date. PD

My husband and I were outside with our neighbor's, having a bonfire, and the sky to the north of us lit up with bright blue light anomalies. It was completely silent and flashed brightly for roughly 30-45 seconds and then vanished. We all are convinced it was not something easily explainable. I posted online about it and someone else I know in the area said she saw it as well and said it was odd as well.

I was driving home on 1st ave south in st pete fl and a row of 5 lights in the sky distracted me from driving so I pulled over and it was a triangle shaped object with a row of 5 lights and I light on the corner tip and a blinking red light in the middle it flew up and over to the right and then striaght up and disappeared. This event happened for 3 mins and my cell phone wouldn't turn on iPhone 5s by the white or black button until the triangle disappeared then my phone worked. Happened for about 3 mins. Looked like a black triangle tr3b perhaps military unmanned drones any info?? Didn't make any noise.

At first I thought it was a falling star but it went directly horizontal across the sky. I've checked news reports to see if anyone else saw it, but haven't seen any other reports.. I've timed all other aircraft's in the sky and nothing comes close to what I saw. I say about 12 seconds because after watching for about 3 seconds, I started counting- because the rate of speed was phenomenal. It did not have a tail, it was a yellowish round ball that moved from one side of the horizon to the other but seemed to disappear when it got over open water. I'm hoping someone else saw it and will come forward. I travel for my job and spend a lot of time on the road and this is the first time I cannot decipher what I witnessed. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

While my boyfriend & I were on a trip to Miami he decided to set his Canon 7D to take a Time Lapse video of the sunrise. A week or two later took the camera out to review the video when I noticed an odd cigar shaped cloud effortlessly float by. I asked him to slow the video down so I could get a closer view of it. When he did I noticed what looked like lights on in the cloud. So I took a couple of screen shots of the frames. Then I asked him if he could enlarge the picture. When he did there where six different lights on it that appeared to have been changing colors. In the three different screen shots I took the colors appear to be in different positions of the cloud shaped object. I have the time lapse video & the screen shots I took.

Tampa Bay, FL
as I was crossing the causeway from Tampa to clearwater FL. I saw what appeared to be a "Door" clearly on a cloud about 2.5K feet, 2.5 miles out. It was stunning and clear, almost to clear and oddly familiar design.. Several other people passing me saw it as well. I pulled to the side and watched it.. It was to the eye about fairly large, but very, very slowly disappearing from the bottom up on a puffy cumulus cloud. After 10 min it became a small line and totally disappeared.. I live on Tampa Bay on the Clearwater side. As I looked across the Bay at Tampa, fog had set in, but raising. The fog became redish in a non analog manner. That is, in a step or degree that has to be "man made", not natural. then a orange color. I could see the sun and it was not its reflection. Being a engineer, having 40 years TV and Radio professionally behind me, I recognized it as some type of projection from some source. I then saw a beam of light about 1 mile south of it refracting on the fog going south... That was the dead giveaway... At the south end of Tampa Bay by the Gulf of Mexico lays MacDill Air Force Base! What I was looking at was a laser projection, AKA Laser Show, of a digital picture or video projected on a cloud. The key is having something to project off of.. Clear air doesn't work.. That night I heard you say a UFO over the Bay was seen in Safe Harbor at the Same time. That is 1 mile to the north.. I said I recognized it.. It was the door on the intro to the old Twilit Zone, I looked for Rod Sterling in the passenger seat.

The objects observed were two bright orange lights(orbs) high in the night sky traveling in unison in a northeast direction, one above the other. After approximately five minutes the objects disappeared. First the bottom one and then the top one. Throughout the sighting there was no sound. One of the photos shows two lights but when enhanced two silver objects can clearly be seen. The event was witnessed by myself, a retired USAF airborne intelligence NCO/retired deputy sheriff and my daughter also former USAF NCO/deputy sheriff plus my grandson and friend.
