Winter Springs, FL
Something caught my eye while sitting on the couch. When I looked over I saw a single orange looking fireball with an orange trail taveling fairly quickly going northeast to southeast. Not super fast, but not slow either. It looked like what I would expect a rocket launch might look like but it was traveling across the sky not up from the ground. It also looked to be at a high altitude. It traveled across the sky and disappeared behind clouds after 20 seconds or so.

Fireballs (4) of low altitude moving relatively slow, equal distances apart, and all ascending into the sky towards Cuba. No audible sounds from fireballs. People stopped their cars and came out from homes to watch.

It's a new year and I'm already seeing things right before my eyes. Me and my boyfriend were talking outside when he looks up in the sky and sees a red, bright, circular light in the sky. The way it was moving was strange and it kept flickering as proceeding further up. It was definitely not an airplane,without a doubt. I guess even "others" take a holiday vacation to Florida!😱 ...HAPPY New lightyears, I guess.

Object started as a yellow fireball and transformed to a red light. Hovered overhead then headed west but not in a straight line. Returned to original spot overhead, no noise. Definitely not a helicopter or plane.

Jupiter, FL
I was traveling home after a New Years Eve Party. I noticed while driving a red and orange pulsating fireball travelling in a North East direction. I pulled off to the side of the road to have a better look. There was no sound and the speed was rather slow yet consistent. Just after this object passed out of site, another one appeared traveling in the same direction and speed. I proceeded to my destination as I was dropping off a friend at her home. While parked in her driveway, I again noticed a third fireball soon followed by two more of these objects. I could see the final two spaced apart at the same time again travelling at the same speed. The whole episode took 8 to 12 minutes. I can offer nothing more here other than the three of us are in our 60's and were not intoxicated from the party. Actually one of us had nothing to drink at all.

While watching fireworks on new years eve I noticed a orange glowing light gliding across the sky I went inside to get my stepson who came outside and witnessed the same thing It was traveling from the northeast headed to the southwest towards the gulf of Mexico. There was no sound. The object went into and out of the clouds disappearing, then coming back with a constant orange glow kind-of like a flame on a candle-- then it went into the clouds and was gone -- A few days later I saw the same thing while walking the dogs about 7:40 pm to the northwest heading in the same direction but followed by another one. The clouds were thicker and lower so they disappeared before they got to my location.

Kissimmee, FL
Looking up at the night sky in central Florida, my wife and I saw 7 orange fireballs in the sky at roughly 15000-20000 ft. altitude. There was 1 at first and we thought an airplane had an engine on fire, until the other 6 in a group form came in behind what I'm gonna call the lead fireball. They were headed south/southwest. Could see the orange/red flame for quite a while until it faded from site. I don't know what these things were, I'm wondering if I should be concerned? Seems people are seeing these "fireballs" all over the US. does anyone know what these are for sure. It's NOT a helicopter, airplane, or from the military. We live about 20 min. from OIA and can hear those jet engines pretty clear, these "fireballs" were silent, no noise of any kind.

As some friends and I were watching New Years fireworks, we noticed a lingering orange light. My friend said it was a UFO that he has seen a few times before. It slowly started moving west and after about thirty seconds of moving west, it flickered. It flickered 5 times before taking off full speed out of our sight. All of us were in shock and couldn't believe what we had just saw.

Spring Hill, FL
It was shaped like a fireball, it was dark red and orange. It was going from north to south, with no noise whatsoever. I tried to take a picture but it wouldn't barely come up on my phone. Now the picture isn't even in my phone anymore, it disappeared. It's crazy because this is the second time I've seen this fireball looking shape in the sky on the month of December 2014. We would like answer from other viewers of these events please!!

While sitting in our driveway at the end of a cul-de-sac which backs up to a wooded area, we were roasting marshmallows at 9:30 p.m., when we noticed in the sky three reddish-orange lights in a triangular pattern moving very slowly across the sky. They seemed to appear suddenly out of nowhere. We watched the object move north to south and all 3 lights started to dim and the light at the front vertice of the triangle was the last one to go out. It never returned.

I was heading south on a residential drive in westside jax fl to go to the store, looking forward driving I noticed a bright ball of red flame with 4-5 flames coming down from bottom of the flaming ball. Since this was New Year's Eve, I thought the object was some fireworks but had no sound. I slowed down to look at object ahead of me and I noticed the two other objects, a total of 3. Being in communication technologies I thought it was a radio tower but realized there were no towers by the house in this direction. They were in a triangle formation. The object that was flaming was the top left (east) of triangle. The other two, one was to the right (west) horizontal to the flaimng one. The third was below the other 2 and in a center position. As I turned left there were several couples with children walking , they were all looking and pointing at the objects. As I ended the street I lost sight of the 3 objects due to trees and houses. I took a right turn an! d saw the flaming object still in the same place. The other 2 objects were gone. People walking on Blanding blvd were also looking and pointing at the object too. I was not the only one who saw this. The flaming one stayed stationary till I reached the next light. The object was still flaming, then it moved toward the east at a fast pace and was gone. It did not go away in a flash. This all occured just 1 air mile away from Naval Airstation Jacksonville (NAS JAX)

Saw a small orange or fiery ball going out or away, going higher leaving our air. if that makes sense? Not following a planes orbit but leaving ours... It was bigger than stars in the sky by twice or three times,, Just checking.... Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I was sitting on my deck looking at the ocean and I see a ball of fire slowly moving south above the coast. Then a minute later 3 more came in an almost perfect horizontal line. A few minutes after those went away, one more came. Same size, same speed, going the same direction. This was at night.

5 orange moving lights separated by same distance moving southwest crossing into west flight plan for planes landing at Fort Lauderdale.

The landing plane appeared to circle further out towards the south while landing east. No noise emanating from the lights. Twinkling coming from light. Moving below clouds.

I was out walking my dog and saw three orange objects in sky to east/southeast. The were stationary for a few minutes then one quickly shot up and was gone, after about 15 seconds the second one did the same. The third object remained for about a minute and then was gone. I see helicopters and planes here all the time and these object were quiet and when they moved were beyond the speed of anything I have ever seen.

Fort Myers, FL
Looked in sky and I see a four or five perfect circles in South Fort Myers, FL by college parkway. They were moving around where Cessnas fly (plane) if not a little lower. There were around 3 circles grouped together and one then another behind that one maybe a mile apart from where I was standing. I focused on the last one and there was a solid red light on the end of the circle. They were not solid white; however appeared to be a clear white color with the outlines seen. There was an airplane taking flying in the sky with different lights and the objects were not phased by the plane. As I watched them, there was no sound what so ever.
