Ft. Pierce (Hutchinson Island), FL
A week ago I started observing what I thought were shooting stars (or meteorites). Each night thereafter, I observed these objects - they did not fall to the ground but circled around, went south, turned around and headed north, sometimes went west and returned. My first thought was that they were drones but at this point I have no idea what they are. My friend also observed them.

They stayed up for about a good 20 minutes. Then after 30 minutes we saw about 10 of those same objects hovering high in the skies. They moved an equidistance from each other and almost look like they formed a sort of triangle. They stayed for 20 minutes and disappeared.

Miami, FL
Originating in the east at an altitude below the clouds. Two silent, glowing orange craft in a formation. Each craft had 4 lights arranged in a tight diamond shape. Their light was steady with no flicker or strobing. The intensity of the light was greater than Venus and almost as great as the first quarter moon in the west. They proceeded to fly over us at a steady velocity towards the w-sw direction. They were followed by two more identical objects spaced much further apart and not in any type of formation. By the time the last object was flying overhead, I had grabbed my 8x50mm binoculars. I observed the 4 lights in the center, surrounded by a translucent glowing halo of sorts. The entire sighting lasted about 5 minutes. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Land O'Lakes, FL
I spotted three orange lights, flying lower than regular passenger traffic without the the flashing wing and tail lights. We live near a rural airport, but we do not usually have any planes from it at this time of night; plus these were totally soundless, whereas the aircraft from that airport is clearly audible. These lights were very bright and disappeared quickly.

Sebastian, FL
Object observed from my sunroom at my home here in Sebastian. Was viewing the moon when object seemed to flash in from nowhere and then proceeded to zoom over the house heading straight away from me, zigzagging once before disappearing behind the tree line. Pitch black night background with no obstructions aside from a few clouds here and there. Light of the object was pure white, and bright.

New Tampa, FL
Sitting out back. Noticed one amber light coming above the treeline, then noticed two amber lights coming above the treeline they were almost lying in a pattern there a squadron would however once they got to approximately 45 degrees in the air from our line of sight the light went off on each and every one of them at the same physical location in the sky you could actually still see them though they were a light brownish color almost an olive drab 0 sound they were extremely large I would say maybe I don't know a quarter of a mile above us and you literally could watch them the whole way and we have video we have pictures we just have no idea what we saw and then another stick if you will or squadron comes through so the total of about maybe 8 to 10 they came through for witnesses very interesting one of them actually went back the other direction so then what I mean we can we're still not back here we hear coyotes we hear crickets but we heard nothing when they went over and you could literally make out detail to an extent shape definitely so enjoy that guys

Green Cove Springs, FL
At approximately 8:30 pm, I was tending the remnants of a small fire in my firepit. The sky was clear and many stars were visible. As I looked the the south, over the roof of a nearby house, I saw a brightly lit sphere. It was motionless. Since there are many ai4craft in the area, I at first thought it was the landing lights of an aircraft. There was no sound at all and the sphere remained motionless for approx 1 min. It then shot straight downward at an incredible rate of speed. I lost sight of it. It was definitely not a helicopter, piston or jet aircraft, nor was it a meteor.
November 28, 2014 · 3:15 PM · FLASH
Gainesville, FL
My wife and I were in our condo tending to our son. Both of were in separate locations inside of the dwelling. I was watching college football, while she was in one of the bedrooms folding clothes. The event was a flash, similar to what is seen when a light bulb burns out, except it was uniform. Both of us saw a flash which didn't seem to come from anywhere inside the house, and didn't seem to come from a uniform area of outside. It looked to me like it came from the south side, while to her it looked like it came from the north side of the house. Went outside to identify anything that could have made the uniform flash, and could find nothing. We have trees in our rear lot, and a brick wall in the front, but the flash seemed to be uniform, unobstructed by these objects.

Ormond Beach, FL
I went to let the dog out and looked up into the sky to see a burning object flying across the sky moving from west to east. I ran into the house to get my son, who came out to witness it. It appeared to move faster than a plane and not as fast a falling star. It was a glowing flame that was orangish in color. I saw it for a total of 45 seconds and my son saw it for 15 seconds. The glowing flame just disappeared and seemed to burn out. Source indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Miami, FL
After Thanksgiving dinner, my parents walked me out to my truck. We were talking outside when we noticed an orange orb fly above us. We stared at it because it looked like nothing we have ever seen before. It flew from the north to the south until it disappeared into the night horizon. We were puzzled because it definitely was not a helicopter, or a plane. Immediately after it disappeared, and during our discussion of what it could be, another orange orb originated from the same place. We watched the first one come from and it took the same exact flight route immediately above us. For this orb I quickly reached for my cell phone and began snapping away pictures (I will follow up with an email including all pictures I took). Again, as soon as the 2nd orb disappeared, the 3rd orange orb began its trip. It also took the same route as the first two orbs and disappeared into the night's horizon. I also took a few pictures of the 3rd orb. My parents and I s! tayed for a few minutes outside searching the sky for more, but did not see any more. Curiously enough, the pictures do not all reflect what we saw with the naked eye. Also note that some of the pictures I tried using the zoom feature. And lastly, the orbs made absolutely no noise as they passed directly above us. The other two witnesses were my retired parents. I happened to have my cat on a leash with us, but he did not see it nor did he act unusual. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Addendum to Miami 11/27/14 10:35 pm Event-- NO LONGER A UFO. ADDENDUM to UFO Sighting on Thanksgiving Night In MIami 11/27/14. I am the person who filed this report originally. I am letting you know that we have discovered what the UFO's were, so they are no longer UFO's. I wonder if similar reports like mine could possibly be the same as what our UFO's turned out to be. By the way.... Our orbs were Chinese floating paper lanterns! LOL... They may come in white or in several different colors. I have since ordered some off eBay and we are going to light and release some as soon as they arrive, so that others can freak out the way we did when we saw them. Lol. God bless! ((END ADDENDUM))

DeLand, FL
While driving on SR A15 I saw the yellow-orange light in the air. There were 3 of them flying in a triangle formation - very slow, heading from Northwest to Southeast. A couple seconds later, a single one appeared and flew the same direction. This one could be seen almost 1 minute in the sky.
November 27, 2014 · 6:00 PM · DISK
St. Augustine, FL
My wife and I observed the disc and pulled off the road, rolled down our windows, and heard no noise from the disc. We immediately discussed what we were seeing and ruled out a helicopter or airplane due to speed of craft, shape, and no noise. The object turned south and moved approximately south over Highway A1A. I followed the disc and pulled off the road again to listen for noise and heard none. I then observed the disc shoot straight up into the sky for approximately fifteen seconds until I could not observe it anymore.

St. Johns, FL
November 26, 2014, St. Johns, FL. Saw a fast-moving, brightly lit object moving from the North to the South at enormous speed. Object was spherical, the light cast was between gold and white. Was significantly faster than airplanes flying at higher altitude. Airplanes at higher altitude had clearly visible red light with white lights. This object was a solid gold/whitish light. No hint of red. No flashing. No sound. It crossed the sky from the northern horizon to the southern horizon in less than 60 seconds.

Cape Coral, FL
My wife and I were standing in our back yard at 8:00 PM and saw 3 large, bright, yellow orbs low in the sky traveling NW to SE at a slow rate of speed. As they passed overhead, 4 more lights appeared from the NW and followed the original 3. They were in no particular formation but definitely headed in the same direction. I should also note, that they did not make any noise and the sky was crystal clear. We could see airplanes in the distance and there was no way that these lights could be misconstrued as domestic aircraft.

Ft. Lauderdale, FL
From our house looking east towards the ocean, we have repeatedly seen a bluish, silver colored light making very fast movements straight up, sideways and back down. It appears to be in the same area each time as we have seen this light more than 10 times over the past few months. The light appears to be several miles from our home. Ft. Lauderdale/Hollywood airport is to the south of where this light is seen.

There were no rhythmic lights like a plane, just white light. After about 10 minutes, they moved off then completely disappeared. there was a great deal of heat type lightening happening around that time. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Jacksonville, FL
Driving west down J Turner Butler Boulevard (by the intercostal area) we glanced up to see a white ball of light, standing still over the St Johns river. It began traveling very quickly away from us horizontally- headed north. It slowed down and sped up quickly and made impressive distance in a very short amount of time. It appeared to also slightly dip and soar upwards smoothly a few times. I kept my eye on it the entire time it was in view until it got so far away that it became hard to find through the trees. It was pure white with no blinking lights or anything else that would make me believe it was an airplane or helicopter. Was amazing to see!

St. Augustine, FL
On November 22, 2014, at approximately 1a.m., I noticed a round object in the sky at about the distance of 3 to 5,000 ft. I could not tell if it was self illuminated or being reflected from ground lights as it was dimly lit. It looked like a soft glow orange or soft white light. This object traveled west to east in a straight line and traveled about a mile from the time I saw it. Estimated speed was 200 mph. It reached a certain point and made a perfect 90 degree turn without slowing and proceeded south for about a quarter mile, when it accelerated to an incredible speed, perhaps a thousand mph or more, instantaneously. It went past the tree line where my view was obscured.

Atlantic Beach, FL
I was just sitting outside tonight, looking directly above my head in Atlantic Beach, FL. Staring above and to the western sky, I saw what resembled descriptions of the AZ lights. The difference was the lights I saw seemed so far away that the speed they were exhibiting is indescribable. These lights were so far away though that if not witnessed continuously would resemble stars. I kept my head turned upwards, with my gaze staring in a single position, and the lights moved outside of my periphery. This was my way of determining the lights were moving. At certain points, there seemed to be 1 to 6 lights illuminated at once. Then, all but one light would be visible. Then the lights seemed to illuminate the way a Cuttlefish displays its luminescence. The semi-circle luminescence moved to the northwest. Looking at a single point in the far away sky, I would stare at the last point I saw a light, and then the light would disappear, and then the light would reappear at a different point. I knew it was a different point because I hadn’t moved my gaze and when the light reappeared I had to move my eyes. The lights seemed to at some moments to be in a semi-circular configuration, maybe 4-6 lights, and then they would dissipate to 3, and then just 1 light. At intervals the lights seemed to kind of flash heat lightening, but the “heat lightning” would move quickly like the individual lights did. I look at the sky often and have never seen anything like this. I am quite shaken. Did anyone else witness this? Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Winter Haven, FL
Well, me and my sister was sitting outside around 8:40pm, when we noticed a glowing fire ball with lights around it an it looked as if 2 helicopter were keeping an eye on it. This object stood in the same spot for like 5-7 minutes, but when I went to go get my phone, it was gone. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
