Miami, FL
We were standing outside on the 7th floor of our building where there is a pool deck and barbecue cooking steaks when over the water of Biscayne Bay - due east of us about 1 mile - we saw a very slow moving flaming object - quite large (this is on the approach to Miami Airport so we see planes in that vicinity every few minutes - It looked like what you imagine a large commercial jet, engulfed in flames - would look like. After about 15 seconds a ball of flame fell, arcing downwards from the body of the main fireball. I had my phone out and shot some video - not terribly distinguishable - the falling flame disappeared behind the buildings in our view towards the water. The main flame faded out immediately and disappeared. It did appear that there were lights in the same area and they turned 270 degrees and headed north, looking like a normal plane's lights.... Very weird. We thought that it possibly could be a banner like the ones they tow behind planes over! the beach had somehow gotten ignited and was detached but it was much higher than those planes fly and I have no idea how you would ignite something like that.

About a minute later, saw another one to the right of where I saw those, and it also faded out and disappeared. The fireballs were an orange/red color.

There were two round lights, one green, one red. Then both lights became green, 5 seconds later they both became red. The lights were below the cloud cover at approximately 1000 ft. The lights were stationary in the night sky. As my traveling companion pulled the vehicle of the road to observe, the lights streaked north at an incredible rate of speed, dove 90 degrees and streaked north again out of sight.

Clermont, FL
Stepped out on my deck for a cigarette around 1:15 a.m., and saw a bright orange light. Thought it was a plane, but it seemed to be wobbling and darting. It disappeared as it seemed to wobble into the distance. A moment later, it reappeared where I had originally seen it and followed a similar wobbling pattern. Again, it disappeared and reappeared a third time. No subsequent appearances.

I was walking my dog when all of a sudden this thing flew by it was about the size of a car and it was v shaped. It had 2 yellow lights on the front and 2 yellow lights on the back with a red light in the middle it was making a low siren sound and I believed at first that it was an aircraft in distress. It made a circle over head and then hovered before landing a bit away in the woods. I live near a naval base, so that could be an explanation but its behavior was strange for a naval craft, especially being near a residential area and the hovering.

I'm a 31 year old female. I Spotted a highly reflective, metallic pyramid like object hovering around the Hotel Floridan in day light at Tampa Downtown. Appeared to be 5x5 feet in height and width. The object rotated slowly showing it's flat metallic surfaces, reflecting the sun on its panels. I watched it slowly move down from the sky in the distance towards the building 15 floors up from my apartment. At first I thought it was a helicopter but as it got closer, I noticed it looked nothing like it. I then tried to see if it was a balloon. But when I saw it move in a zig zag movement going up, down, left and right, I scratched that idea too. I watched it move up and down along the building and then quickly move off into the horizon, changing its speed as it eventually zipped upwards into the sky. I'm hoping other's saw this object too. Very strange. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

UFO Sighting Two objects that emitted an orange light flew at a low altitude from North to south past out home. The first object moved across our line of vision and was followed by a second identical object. The orange light on the first object flickered and went out before it left our line of vision. The second object was visible before the first orange light went out. The second object followed the same flight path as the first and flickered and went out at the same spot. About 30 seconds after the second orange light went out a third orange light appeared following the same flight path and traveled about the same speed. The third object traveled across our line of vision and its orange light extinguished about the same spot as the other two. Many aircraft over fly our area at night and they have flashing lights, none of which are orange or as bright as the objects we are reporting. The speed of the lights and the brightness of the lights were not the same as the aircraft lights we are used to seeing.

This event happened a few years ago, but I did not know this website existed at the time. There were actually 2 other events that proceeded this one which I will explain later. I was out walking my dog on a bright starlit night with a few high level clouds. I was stargazing when I noticed a visual distortion about 60 feet above me. It was similar to a ripple in a smooth clear pond except it had a distinct 'V' shape leading edge. It was transparent and I could see the clouds above it but no stars until the 'V' moved about 40 feet when they would reappear. I concluded that would be the trailing edge. The 'V' angle was about 135* and 100+ feet wingtip to wingtip moving around 5 mph due north. At first I thought maybe it was an illusion so, I turned away and focused on the house next to me and then returned my gaze back to the 'V'. It continued its northerly flight with no sound or lights until my dog and I lost sight of it behind the tree line. Early the next evening, two A10 (??) military jets traveled the same south to north route at tree top level shaking everything in the house. I called the police to find out what was going on but they said no else had reported the flyover and had no information. Two weeks prior to this sighting, while again walking my dog about 1 hour before sunset, a stationary bright orangish globe was in the south sky at maybe 2000 to 3000 feet. It started to move slowly west toward the setting sun. After about 30 seconds it moved almost vertical at a blazing speed and was beyond sight within 3 seconds. At the time, I thought it was probably an effect of the sun getting low on the horizon. But, the color was very different and somewhat similar to a sodium-vapor lamp. Two days later, my wife and I were eating an early dinner around 4 PM at a nearby restaurant. We were sitting next to a west facing window and I started to described the strange orangish globe to her. We both casually turned to l! ook out the window and there was the globe I was describing at! some di stance away moving east toward us. It's speed was fast but not unusual and we lost sight of it behind some buildings. No other sightings have occurred since then.

10pm on March 15, 2015 just as witness was leaving Lake Wales, Florida. The lit object came to an abrupt stop and hovered in the sky. JPG photo includes inset blow-up of the object. Witness couldn't get a clearer blowup “due to lack of pixilation” (sic). Without the cupola, the object could be a streetlight except it was moving. I learned of the sighting from a third party in Little Rock, AR. Witness told her he doesn't know what the two right-side light sources are because he didn't notice them until I prompted her to ask. I have not spoken with the witness; as a potential publisher of his report, it’s better that he speak directly to NUFORC. He's more than willing to discuss the sighting event. I also sent this same alert to the MUFON website.

There was an orange-red sphere with 2 orange-red streaks coming off the back of it. It appeared to be falling out of the sky. I got it on video until I lost it behind a tree.

Looked up, noticed something in the air. It was slowly moving through the sky. It was diamond shaped and black. Took a few pictures from my wife's phone and mine. And 1 video. Could have been about 1500 or lower in the sky.

As I approached the object in my car, I noticed that the object changed color from red to white, revealing the object's shape as a flying disk. As I continued observing the object, the object disappeared without leaving any trace. It was a clear night without any clouds. This occurred on March 12, 2015.

While on my way home I needed to stop off at the grocery store. As I turned north extremely high in the sky the most unusual fire orange color object moved in an eastern through the sky. I have seen the orange colored objects twice before but this one was more comet shaped whith what I can only describe as a tail. I was so amazed. Before I could video the object I lost site of it in some cloud I guess. But this thing appeared to get brighter and then dim out slightly.

Looked up at the sky and saw a round orange ball traveling toward me just to the immediate south of my house, and to the immediate west of the Halifax River. As the object got closer to me, 4 strobe lights appeared to flash approximately every 3 seconds. As I exited the screen room, an orange tail appeared behind the object and it turned due east toward the river and ascended quickly into the sky until it disappeared.

This morning as I drove north on SW 88 Street, approaching the turnpike, I noticed this yellow and red streak in the sky for several minutes. As I entered the turnpike a cloud covered it and the streak disappeared? I took a picture with phone and the streak it not too visible in the pic.

Cape Coral, FL
Sitting out back in our pool cage that faces west we noticed a very bright Orange/Red round Orb was seen moving from south to north and going along the coast of Pine Island Sound. There were two aircraft on final approach to SW FL International Airport that were headed SW, coming from the north along the gulf coast. The orb flew past them quite close and was at about the same altitude as the planes. When it went past the second plane the orb lowered its altitude from buzzing the first plane, which was at a bit higher altitude. The orb then circled to the west and headed over Pine Island at about a 45 degree angle up and disappeared into some clouds. The speed of the orb was about two to three times that of the commercial aircraft. There were 3 of us that watched it and besides wondering what it was, we were wondering what was being said in the cockpits of the aircraft… I tried to take a video, but the batteries were too low on my camera to use it.

Estero, FL
Was driving down Estero Parkway and noticed a circular red orb by the moon. For some reason I thought it was Mars, but it was too big and moving. Then out of nowhere about thirty to forty red orbs appeared out of nowhere and weren't traveling fast and heading north. They stayed light for about a minute then blinked out and would see several appear and disappear intermittently. I left cell phone at the house otherwise I would've taped them. I served in the military and they weren't planes and thought maybe they were some kinda light balloon, but were far to big to be so.
