I would like to report what may, or may not, have been a UFO sighting. Some time between 9:15pm and 9:30pm, on December 19, 2014, I saw maybe 6 to 8 orange and red lights hovering in one place in the sky. They were approximately over Dike Road and Tuskawilla Road in Winter Springs, Florida, but to be honest I could not tell exactly the location since I was driving. I live near an airport, and I saw some planes fly somewhat close to the lights and thought maybe they would have reported them as well. They were, as I said before, hovering in one place. Their alignment was horizontal, but scattered, as in they did not make a straight line. I wanted to turn around and see them again, but when I went back they were all gone. I am not sure if this matters, but it got very cloudy after the event. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

My first thought was that helicopters were flying in formation with flashing Christmas lights. (Because it's Christmas time.) Then I realized one at a time was becoming invisible. So the helicopter theory went out the window. A car drove up to us and asked us, are they UFO's. We said "I think so". They said yeah, they are UFO's. Then one UFO remained visible and bright. Finally it disappeared too. Hardly anyone noticed except for the guys in the car that called out to us. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Cape Coral/Punta Gorda, FL
I wanted to share what my wife and I saw the other night. I googled UFO Punta Gorda/Cape Coral to see if there was a news report of a UFO that night, and came across this website. Thursday night, my wife and I were in bed, and I got up to close our bedroom window for the night. We are used to seeing planes in the area since there is more than one airport in close proximity. What we saw that night occurred above the Yucca Pens Unit Wildlife Management Area from our best guess. When I went to close the window, I noticed a red/blue/yellow light, and I at first assumed it was an extremely slow moving plane. After a few seconds I mentioned to my wife that there was plane or something with more lights then I have seen before. She took a look and didn’t mention the lights but said, “It’s not moving,” so I am there staring at it to see if it moves, then I don’t know to explain it but it moved abruptly then stopped again. At that point it had our full attention. I asked my wife if she saw what I just witnessed and she confirmed that she had. It then stayed stationary long enough for my wife to lay back down. I could not stop watching since I was curious to what I seeing. The next thing is literally like something out of a movie. The thing shot upwards (vertically), then it disappeared in the horizon. I said to my wife that it shot up vertically then disappeared to the North. Then it shot back South to where I could see it and my wife and I watched it and were just both were asking each other if the other could see what was happening. We are not into this kind of stuff but jokingly I high fived her and said scratch that off my bucket list. I have no idea what we saw but it is absolutely nothing like anything else I have ever experienced in my life. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) The date was this past Thursday night, 12/18/14. We are both professionals that deal with the public and have not considered contacting the press. I just came across this website trying to search if anyone reported something to the news. It's truly something that leaves you at a loss for words. I have only mentioned it to one close friend. Thank you, ((name deleted)) ((END ADDENDUM))

LaBelle, FL
My co-workers and I work in the next own over. After our shift we were headed back to our homes, we car pool together, all 11 of us in company van. About 5 minutes before entering LaBelle, FL. (the city we live in) while driving North on State Road 29, I was looking at the sky and almost as if out of nowhere a White Triangular craft manifested itself through the clouds in the East. I yelled to my co- workers "Ovni! OVNI!!!!!" ( Which is Spanish for UFO). Everyone immediately looked up and it almost seemed as if time, inside the van, slowed down immensely. I felt as if the van was just smoothly floating down the road. A few seconds went by, (5-10 by my estimation) and after moving a few miles to the West, the craft disappeared into nothing. As if it just collapsed into itself and it was gone. I've always heard of black triangular shaped crafts, but never a white one, which just added to the strangeness. This one had many of the same characteristics as its black counter parts. It was totally silent, it showed no exhaust system, and it seemed to defy the laws of aerodynamics gliding flawlessly through the air at a slow speed. It's hard for me to be sure of it's exact size, since I have no reference points to do the trigonometry, but if I had to estimate it's size, I would say it is somewhere in between 35-40 ft in length, from the front tip to the back of the craft and 25-35 ft in maximum width from one of the back corners to the other. I realize this is much smaller than the black triangles that have been reported, which is also a bit strange. I don't know if the two have anything in common besides the obvious, I just hope more people see it.

Was going in the back of my uncle's to grab a beer for the neighbor and I , and when I looked past the trees, probably 6 miles south of my location, I saw what I thought was an airplane. Then, when I went out front to get a better view, I immediately called my neighbor to come out because it had no aircraft lights on it, and was going east on a straight, and slow flight path. It was a yellowish orange light. My other neighbor happened to be walking his dogs, and he saw it too. While we were watching it, all of a sudden it disappeared after a minute. The weird part, is shortly after the object's disappearance, I saw an airplane with landing lights going in that same direction/flight path as if it were following the light. I live just north of Patrick Air force base, which may explain the airplane following the light.

((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Dear Peter, I was only estimating distances and altitude. I was in a high rise building on a balcony on the 17th floor overlooking the Gulf. I assumed we were about 200 feet above the level of the water and the lights were well above the height of the high rises to the south of my position. Distance out was just a guestimate. There was a high thin layer of clouds and the sun had already set. Hope this helps. I am certainly not sure what these were but thought I would report. Best, ((name deleted)) ((END ADDENDUM))

I was driving down my street, when I looked up and saw 6 blazing balls in a V shape. I was near my home so I ran inside and got my boyfriend who also saw the lights, but they were dimming and had moved.

I first caputured it facing south west and recorded it until it headed due west. Light was so bright you could even see it through the clouds as it was passing through. in the clouds it also changed to oranges and reds. Perhaps reflecting the sunset but unsure.. Then it slowly moved down and came down over the trees due west.

The object was roughly circular about palm sized and translucent and/or opaque , transparent. it changed shape with the wind similar to a manta ray as it swims. It floated around the front lawn roughly 7 ft. above ground. The object, fluttered up to around 12 to 15 feet above the lawn but then seemed to move purposely towards the mailbox. Suddenly, the object seemed to accelerate upwards as if being sucked up into the sky. It went up faster than abaloon that is caught by the wind but not as if it was a rocket.After about ten seconds it had disappeared. the way it hovered and swept across the lawn had me mesmerized and as it ascended, I called my wife to the door but it moved fast enough for her to not be abe to focus in.

I am a manager in retail. Traditionally religious, my imagination could not prepare me for what I saw last night while driving north on US-1 with my 17 year old son. As we drove in conversation, we noticed a white flash in the shape of a saucer fly west from the east end of Hutchinson Island. There was a plane flying north about ten o'clock from where we were driving and this UFO flew west past that plane as though it were standing still. In my life I have gone fishing and have seen planes and even shooting stars. I am no expert, nor do I want attention or any gain at all, but this was not of this earth. The event is life changing.

While sitting on Indialantic board walk around 5:30 Sunday morning, again I looked up and saw a white that that I first thought was a star, until I realized that it was moving very slowly, after having been stationary for some time. Then the light began to get dimmer as it continued to move. This lasted for about a minute. It was not moving very fast or far, but it gradually faded, and then completely disappeared, while still almost directly overhead. Three weeks prior to this even, on another Sunday morning around the same time at the same location, I was looking at the stars and noticed one directly over-head, and it got my attention. After I had looked down for a few moments, I looked back up to see if I could see that star again. When I had looked back, I noticed that the light had gotten both brighter and larger in size since the last time I had looked at it. It continued to get larger and brighter until it was bigger than any star that I had ever seen. Then, still not moving, it began to get slowly dimmer. This lasted for about a minute, until it had totally disappeared.

Walking my dog, noticed a constant whooshing sound similar to that of cars on a highway, only I don't live next to as much of an active street as this sound is making it seem. Not to mention it sounds alot like it is coming from the air above the distant northern area. If it is just a road, I never noticed the noise. This peaked my interest and curiosity, and I started walking my dog south in the direction of the neighborhood's dumpster to throw away a trash bag, away from the noise with my back to it, occasionally looking backwards into the sky. A little over halfway to the dumpster I look behind me once more, and I see an orb of white or gray light shooting across the sky about 3 or 5 times faster than a nearby plane would. It was at no point stationary, and I saw it moving from right to left at about a 35 or 40 degree angle downwards, and I lost sight of it when it went behind the horizon formed by nearby trees and houses. If you were looking straight dow! n the horizon and moved your eyes about 10 degrees upward, that is where the object was in terms of height/distance. No sound from the object, and I am unsure if the whooshing is related. I can still hear it now however, about an hour or less later. Everything appears noisier than usual tonight, and there seems to an increase in air traffic, however I do often see many aircraft due to living somewhat not far from an airport. From my terrace I have a large view of the sky because of the empty space caused by the lake.

I was on my porch looking out and a bright white object flew by. I thought it must be a meteor, but it realized it was going parallel to the horizon. It was steady, fast moving and silent and didn’t seem to be too high up. It wasn’t as high as a plane would be. I ran out to try and get more of a look, but it disappeared into the tree line.

My Grandson and I were out watching for meteors and from the North of my house low in the sky this spherical red object with a tubular yellow light in the middle came silently and steady over my house what seemed like a 2 miles up and traveled South until it disappeared into deep space. It was incredible and scared the heck out of my Grandson. Like nothing else I have ever seen.

My husband and I were pulling out of our driveway and saw a light in the sky just above the trees. as we started to travel towards the light, we saw 3 more. There is a hill on our road and by the time we crested the hill, there were more than ten lights almost in a multiple connected triangle formation. I would say that there were more than 10 of them and they were a yellowish orange color with a haze around them. They almost seemed to hover and slowly drift. In the time that it took to travel 2 blocks, they disappeared 2 at a time. I tried to get pictures and/or video with my cell phone but every time that I would get the camera open and focused, my screen would go black and back to my main screen. I called my mom who was not home because she had received a call from my sister and had gone to see the lights herself. All of us in different locations saw the same thing, my sister got pictures and video.

I looked up at the stars because they were supposed to be a meteor shower tonight. I saw two stars moving apart. One was a star the other was not as I looked at it I thought it was just an airplane, but then as I was watching it I thought differently. It started moving erratic speeding up, slowing down, moving to the left then moving to the right but heading in the same direction, north. Was very far away, so I couldn't tell the shape. The color of the light was white very similar to a star, It was below the trees after about three minutes. I know what I saw and it was not an airplane or a satellite.

I was in my living room when something caught my eye to my right. I looked out my windows to my right and up in the sky I saw bright lights. 2 bright white lights about the size of headlights on a car but very close together and in between was just white light. I was unable to make out anything that the lights were coming from because of the lights. The lights were stationary, and then began to move to the right ever so slightly. So slightly that they didn't appear to be moving. Then they stopped. Then started moving again. At this point I jumped up and ran to my back door which is 2 feet from my sofa so it didn't take me long to get outside. Once outside the lights were gone. Nothing was there.

I am veteran that has seen many night flights of helicoptors and their attack patterns, which is why I thought as this light was weaving from west to east and repeating was a helicopter. I started to see this light right after I had gotten onto north/east bound 417 from the Aloma on ramp. This light peaked my interest as there was not any other cars in the immediate area. As i drove it was bounding back and forth in a weaving pattern over 417. As I approached the bridge, the light went out of view. I thought it the helicopter went out of sight, but as I looked out over the bridge, the light was almost on the water with how low it was it I couldn't take my eyes off ot it. Then in a flash it darted toward the north shoreline still hugging the water. Up to this point, I still thought it to be a helicopter, but when the light kept its pace straight into the trees flickered brighter and was gone. As this happened I started to yell myself I didn't see this, this did not just happen, but I can't forget it. Thanks for being anonymous. I needed to say something and it helps.

Whatever was falling from the sky was falling, leaving a trail of cloud or smoke. I saw a really bright oddly shaped cloud that was kind of hook shaped, then I noticed it was getting longer but fixed in the sky. It kept getting longer. And I realized whatever it was, it was falling. Then I see a jet make a large circle and head toawards it and i saw and additional 3 aircrafts flight in from the north chasing it and i followed them as best i could but they disappeared in the horizon with the sunset and traffic. They were chasing whatever was falling from the sky torward the east of where i was. Oh and as i got closer to what i originally throught was a very bright oddly shaped cloud in the distance it was very cloud looking but the trail it left as it was falling to the ground was pretty fixed. Photo appears to show contrails behind a/c. PD

I was on my way to work around 4:45 am this morning on the suncoast parkway and much of the parkway is pitch black through Pasco and Hernando counties. Out of nowhere these lights appeared through the fog and circulated slowly for a good 20-30 seconds, enough for me to get a picture and stare, as I'm in shock, and then very quickly they shot straight up out of the fog as the lit up sky dimmed quickly and returned to darkness in the picture I provided The guy on the highway to the right slammed on his brakes as I slowed down to try to believe what I was actually seeing! I was going to call the police but with things I have read they will think I'm crazy or not believe it and try to tell me it was an aircraft since I was close to a industrial airport that only has small aircraft take off from along with helicopters. These crafts moved a lot faster than the fighter jets we have when they left and circulated in formation…

It was about 1:30 am i got up to get drink of water and use restroom, I glanced out window saw like a blueish pulsating light, at first thought maybe law enforcement had someone pulled over or something, but I looked out window and saw the glow was coming from above. As i looked up, I could see 3 triangle crafts, almost as if it was translucent, almost like seeing through it. The light was flashing on things in yard like the orange tree, then flashed the oak, like they were looking for something. I was frightened by what I saw, and it appeared that when they saw me moving curtain to see, they went straight up and disappeared.
