We noticed a bright orb in the west. It did not move. We watched it for over 10 minutes. It was round, and the light dimmed at times, but then came back. This was not a star or planet. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Jupiter, FL
At approximately 11:00 A.M. today, Sunday, February 15, 2015, I sighted from behind my home in Jupiter, Florida, an unusual object high in the sky to the northwest. I followed it with my eyes and was puzzled by the fact that it moved smoothly along like a high-flying plane, but it seemed to be spherical in shape. It shone brightly like a plane reflecting light, but the shining was constant. I rushed around to the front of the house to watch it as it proceeded south, but by the time I got to the front street it had seemingly disappeared from the sky (although I could see the entire area of sky where the object had been headed). Then I spotted another object of the same kind (my guess is that it was not the same one) far to the east, over the coastline or the Atlantic. It glided south in the same manner as the first object. Soon another shining object of the same kind appeared over the northern horizon. I pointed the objects out to my neighbors, who were now a! rriving in a truck. For the next half hour we continued watching these spherical objects as they appeared and proceeded southward. It would take each object about five minutes to pass from our view (disappearing after moving past us and going some distance. In the course of 45-50 minutes, we saw approximately 9-12 of these objects. There were no sudden maneuvers or changes in direction, although one or two of the objects veered slightly to the east, heading out toward the ocean. Some of the objects seemed to disappear (although I cannot say offhand whether that might have been due to the interruption of light reflection). The day was bright and sunny, with only a few thin, cirrus clouds in the sky. Air force jets leaving white contrails seemed to be tracking the objects, flying due south along the eastern coast of Florida in the general direction of Miami. The jets would appear from the north and pass silently overhead at high altitude. We saw 4-5 of these jets. Other witnesses included.my wife and four neighbors: a ship captain, his wife, his granddaughter, and a middle-aged male neighbor. We tried to take photos with my wife's iphone, but the lens doesn't appear to have captured anything other than blue sky. My immediate impression was that the objects seemed to be carried by a wind current and might be some sort of balloons. I phoned the local airport control tower (PBI), the Coast Guard, Patrick Air Force Base, and NASA. A NASA employee told me there had been no launches of any kind that morning.

Winter Garden, FL
On February 14, 2015, around 7:18 PM EST, while driving north-bound on SR-535, I noticed 4 red-orange orbs of light evenly spaced and moving from West to East in what appeared to be a straight line formation. I turned off the radio in the car and rolled down the driver side window in an attempt to hear some sort of sound - although the lights were still moving there was absolutely no sound. I couldn't determine if there was any solid objects behind the lights. The lights were bright, not blinking and I didn't see any smoke or trail. At first I guessed the altitude to be around 800-1,000 feet. I stopped the car on the side of the road - by this time the orbs of light were hovering high above my car still moving East and appeared much larger. Slowly they broke off the line formation, the 2 leading lights appeared to be slowing down and circling back around - the pattern was now random. As I continued to watch the orbs moving slowly, one of them, suddenly shoots or expels a small object at a high rate of speed downwards at an angle - the small object expelled looked like a white light with a short tail (looked like a tiny shooting star) - the white light and its tail quickly disappeared as it moved away from the orb - it maybe lasted 2 seconds at the most. I now believed the orbs were higher in altitude and moving faster that what I originally perceived - maybe as high as 5,000 feet. I tried to call someone on my cell phone at least 3 times to get another witness to the event - but the calls didn't go through. I tried to change to camera or video but by the time I was able to do so the lights were so far to the East that they looked as small as any other star in the night sky. The whole time I could also see an aircraft (not sure if commercial or military) high in the sky (at least twice as high as the orbs) with normal set of blinking aircraft lights and also moving West to East.

Weston, FL
The object was probably over the Atlantic as the airport is just off the coast line in Fort Lauderdale. The picture I took just fraction of a second before this one did not shown an image or contrail approaching from the East. The camera I used was a Coolpix 3.0 LCD. I talked to Broward County Sheriffs office command center at the airport/seaport on the 12th. Their reaction-"not in our domain-no recommendation where to go. Thank you for coming by". The object could have been exactly overhead their office when I took the picture. Thanks-- Witness indicates that the date is approximate. PD

Miami, FL
Initially, thought objects were parachuting down, because object was slow desending. Object had two "glowing engines" underneath which made desending slower than something parachuting. The object changed form several times which made me think it was a parachute, but the final form was a pyramid with the two glowing engines underneath. After watching this for approximately 1 minute, it burst into approximately 8 different lights which were in a cluster. They lights stayed stationary for about 1 minute. I went to grab phone to take picture; flash interfered with picture, then second picture didn't reveal image. At that time the 8 lights moved away south and out of view.

Punta Gorda, FL
I saw one circular object white in color around the level of small planes go from north to south, from the west side of my house. The object was small and it went behind a palm tree and I got up to look at it again it was gone. I was sitting in a chair with my dogs and I looked up and saw the object only for two seconds. The sky was blue and clear so the object stood out. The object looked to me to be a small object but it happened so fast that I really don't know how high the object was in the air but I'm guessing what the height of it was.

Winter Springs, FL
Saw a white light moving in the sky. It was really, really high up, like a plane would fly, but we don't normally have planes flying in that direction at night, and usually they are much lower. I saw the light and ran into the house to get my night vision camera and was able to catch a few seconds of it on video. It was moving at a steady pace, and I heard no sound at all. I live in a flight traffic area and ALWAYS hear planes when they go over, there was no sound from this. It was moving from the north to the south. Saw no blinking lights. Even the video doesn't show blinking lights. Thought it might be a satellite or the ISS, but when I went online to find the current positions of all of them nothing matched the location of what I saw over central Florida. The object never changed direction, never changed speed, just kept on a steady course.

Homstead, FL
While driving, straight ahead of me I saw, red-orange fireballs coming out of the sky, then they would stop and maintain their altitude, hovering. I said what is that? and one of my daughters replied, "Do you think its meteorites? But why would they stop in the middle of the sky?" The other daughter mentioned, "Mom, it's not a plane, the lights are not flashing, there constant." It was one fireball after the other, the first couple of orbs that came down first already formed a square, while others kept coming out of the clouds, but they were organizing themselves, in a line, it looked like they formed some type of constellation. The big dipper. Meanwhile, more red orange fireballs, at this time I was really scared and asking for someone to film it and looked at the time, it was 6:48 am and started counting them, 14. I looked in front of me at the sky and they were there but not in my camara. I asked my daughter to zoom in, but all of the sudden, the color changed to yellowish orange. They were all there hovering waiting for some thing. Then they all formed a "V", bright yellow/orange lights and completely disappeared. Five minutes have gone by and I didn't see anything, All of the sudden I saw 2 military airplanes flying towards the same exact direction the Orbs went. I was never a UFO believer until yesterday. I went to work really shakey with my experience. I called channel 7 news and reported it. I spent most of my day looking for other answers to convince me it wasn't UFO'S. All the pictures of other experiences looked exactly the same as what my eyes seen. My daughters and I witnessed it together, all 3 are believers now.

Saw a blue changing to red back and forth in the sky it started going down then side ways then it started going back in a reverse motion then up. It stopped for a few seconds the light of red and blue got a bit lighter. Then it started to come my way then down and to the side again. I lost it behind some trees for a few seconds then it came back started to go further up it stopped for maybe 5 or 6 seconds then it disappear.

Not sure. Had blinking lights...red, and some other. Could not tell. Was floating in air dropping and swaying and jolting left to right. Possible "twinkling" star?? We spoke via telephone with the witness, and have encouraged to look at the same area of the sky, at the same time of night, when they have a clear sky in that area of Florida. PD

Cape Coral, FL
My 21 yr old son and I went out to walk our dog at approximately 8:00 pm on Sunday, February 8, 2015. We were walking west down a long street in northern Cape Coral, FL. This street we were on at the time has no homes and no street lights and it was pitch black. It was a cool evening. The sky was completely clear and full of stars. As we walked, we noticed two very bright seemingly stationary lights in the sky to the west straight ahead of us. I assumed they were planets and my son checked his Google Sky Map app on his phone and confirmed that the bright light on the left was Venus, but there was no explanation for the bright light to the right of it. We naturally assumed it was a plane approaching but it was silent – no preceding jet noise – and it did not appear to be moving for quite some time. We continued walking west toward it for several minutes. Eventually it began to appear larger. As it got closer, the light which had at first seemed to have an orangish hue to it became a very bright white. We still thought it was a plane but were puzzled by the silence. It finally passed overhead very, very slowly moving eastward with the faintest whirring sound. We knew then that it was definitely not any kind of plane we’d ever seen before because we could see the outline of it against the sky and it was triangular. It had one very large, very bright white light on the front and three identical lights across the back. There were no flashing lights and no red or blue lights like we normally see on planes. Also, the lights were much bigger than lights we've seen on jets in the past. We turned and watched it continue moving slowly to the east. It finally seemed to pick up speed and completely disappeared.

Saw between 7-8 orange circles (with a red light underneath) in the sky. At first they were flying in formation with a lot of space in between them - 2X2. The last circle was solo. The sky was clear except for stars. No noise heard. They came out of the west and headed east. Eventually they all went behind clouds. Six of us saw it. Took a photo.

Hollywood, FL
We saw a white circular object that flew by at an amazing speed. It had a glowing tail behind it. It disappeared behind a cloud. It looked probably 4 or 5 times the size of a star to the human eye. It was a very bright white color. Seen 15 minutes after we saw a brown floating object.

There was a brown object floating in the sky. At first, we thought it was a paper bag but it was moving entirely way too fast to be anything drifting (Also there was very little to no wind). Dog started acting strange.

Englewood, FL
At approx. 6:35pm, Wed, Feb 4, I was walking the dog at the beach on Manasota Key. (about 1/8 mile north of the Charlotte County line in Sarasota County). I looked toward the south and saw a bright orange ball of “fire.” The color looked as if an airplane was on fire, gliding slowly in the sky from south to north. It took a slight turn to the east and descended slightly, then turned back to the west and kept it’s slow, gliding motion to the north. As it traveled north up the beach the orange fireball got smaller, until, eventually, it went dark. When I first noticed the ball, it was about the size of a quarter (if the quarter were right in front of my eyes) and stayed that size for about 20 seconds. The last 10 seconds it gradually became smaller, but the brightness stayed the same, until it was the size of the tip of a sharp pencil, and then went dark. It was very eery. No sound whatsoever. I am a 60 year old female - retired business owner - well traveled.

I noticed 2 orange balls floating over the ocean off the coast of Melbourne, Florida. One of the orbs disappeared about a minute before the second one disappeared.
