Melbourne Beach, FL
I saw this glowing ball in the sky behind my house at some distance. It was some color red-yellow and glowed like a fire and cast a glow up into a space above it. It traveled smoothly and not too quickly across the sky in an easterly direction away from the ocean. I went outside and watched it as until its path was prevented from view due to trees. I went out into the front of my house in the street and watched it proceed off in to the east and increasing in height. It never changed speed and the color and glow never changed. I watched it until it disappeared amongst the stars very very high in the sky in the distance. There was no noise at all. No engine sound. There was no wind at the time. I have no explanation what this was that I saw. It was not a hot air balloon as it moved too fast and there are no hot air balloons in this area ever. It came from the ocean direction as I live just 4 houses from the ocean. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and she seemed to us to be quite sincere and sober-minded. We suspect that she is a very good witness. PD

Kenneth City, FL
I was in my back yard taking the dogs out before going to bed. I looked to the north and a glowing red/orange ball of light caught my eye, just coming into view from behind the tree in front yard. The object was moving slowly to the south, very silent, with a flickering like flame look inside a clear sphere. As the object continued to move slowly to the south, a second one came into view separated but running parallel. They continued moving south in unison. I ran inside to get my partner as another set of eyes. We came out and the objects were now directly overhead. They started picking up speed and altitude. One started changing color to green/blue an takes off faster and changes direction slightly to the southeast. The other then starts to pick up speed, still heading due south, starts changing color to the blue/green like the other. Then both objects fade or blend into what looks like a group of stars to the south.

Sarasota, FL
26 Aug., 2014, about 3 AM EST, it was exeptionally clear out. I was star gazing when a triangular formation of stars caught my eye. I noticed they were moving from north to south and were moving in the triangular formation of 4 like a flock of geese. This formation covered a large area and were definately very high in the atmosphere or higher. They were lit like stars and were moving at a high rate of speed. They did not deviate out of their formation. The whole time I witnessed this was a total of 2 minutes max. I've seen the space station pass over head several times and the speed at which it passed through from one horizon to the other was about the same speed. I am a commercial airline pilot and these were not your typical airliners or aircraft as they have strobes and nav lights lit. I can't emphasize enough the amount of area this formation was but it was rather large and it was very high up.

Orlando, FL
Around 21:00, the sky is clear, there was not a cloud in the sky. I was walking my dog on a plot near my house. I live a few miles from Orlando International Airport, hence I see a lot of planes taking- off, landing and taxiing mainly. A ball of light was sighted flying at a considerably lower altitude (above me) and had no aerial taxiway lights (since it was at altitude for landing). At the same time I called my sister and asked her to leave the house to see also.. At that time I was running back home with my dog along to see my sister, since I needed another witness (was not the first ball of light that I see here in Orlando-Fl.) Are looking at the ball together and the ball of light was flying at a constant speed and then the more strange happens, it begins to rise slowly.. We were able to see the ball of light getting farther up the point we saw the light gradually decrease until disappearing in the sky (remember that was not a cloud in the sky) at the end of it, I was super excited to have been able to show someone more, and happier still to have been my sister (she's 21 ) I'm lover of planes, helicopters, RC’s planes/Helicopters and virtually everything that flies from when I was a child, so I know exactly what I saw was not any type of aircraft. I thank everyone who took the time to read and also saw someone please write here also.

Fort Pierce, FL
I walked out my front door and looked up into the sky around 10:30PM. There were 3 small red flaming objects moving toward the northwest flying over my house. They were all moving together but did not appear to be a single object. I opened the door and told my wife to come and see the objects. She came out the door and saw two of them and a fourth one that came flying in the same direction following the other 3. Neither my wife nor I heard any plane or motor sound as they passed overhead. They appeared to be very low in the sky like they were flying about twice as high as the nearby tree tops. As they moved off in the distance, They did not fade away as expected, but one by one just disappeared as if they were being turned off.

Tamarac, FL
I went out of the house to smoke a cigaret and look up to the sky and saw what I believe to be a meteor coming down because it look like a ball of fire but I saw no smoke trail. I got scare thinking I was going to hit my house.when it got closer, may be one half mile or less from where I was it stop and stay still. I hear no sound at all. Now I realize it was lights under some object maybe thirty feet in diameter. It stay still for about thirty seconds them it shot out two small red lights that fade out almost immediately. The light on the big object dim and then descended alway from my direction going southwest of Tamarac. I lost sight cause it went lower than the houses in front of me. I stay outside for a while looking in the direction it had gone. All I could see far away was some lights as if lighting of a storm far away.

North Lauderdale, FL
I was getting ready for a shower when my husband started hollering for me to come outside quick. I had to jump into my pajamas to get out there to see what looked kind of like rockets moving slowly across the sky. They had an orange-red glow. Three together at first, two in front and the third a bit further back. Then three more one by one, moving slowly from east to west. Each glow just faded and went out as they got further east.

Cape Coral, FL
Returned home from dinner and a movie at a friend’s, when my girlfriend noticed our returning sighting of a yellowish glowing object hovering about a quarter of a mile up into the North Western sky. We stood and watched for a second as we always do and decided after 2 minutes to enter our home and I immediately go to my office door facing the North Western sky and it was gone as usual. Not the first sighting and it always sits around and then slowly moves up at an angle and then gone or literally it will just vanish. Although it was heat lighting in the air, it is not always lighting when they are visible. All within 5 mins it was there and then gone. It is definitely a ufo and it makes no sound.

Two of the objects flying a lower speed and for a moment seem to get static. Flying at low airspeed and at some point a clearing and finished light intensity but able to see it was a rounded craft seen even after light was turned off. Video taken with a phone.

Watched as what resembled a falling star moved at a high altitude and a high speed across the entire sky. The object did not move in a perfect trajectory, occasionally moving slightly left and right, never losing speed.

Palm City, FL
I was lying on my float in the pool looking up at the clouds thinking why don't we see the orbs during the day. Okay so many people will say I'm seeing things that aren't there, but this is what I saw. At first I thought it was a white feather drifting down in my yard so I just watched it drifting down and as i focused on it i could see a bubble around it. What i saw as the feather was about 2 inches long and the bubble around it was the size of a baseball. While I was thinking it was a feather was when it was coming down then it started going horizontal that's when I saw the bubble as soon as I started focusing on the bubble it shot away and i lost sight of it.

Davie, FL
It was Thursday August 21, 2014, and I had just started watching the ten o'clock news when my daughter came into my room and told me to look out the window. I asked her, "What is it?'. She raised her voice at me and told me to quickly run to the window. Concerned by her actions I looked out the window. I saw about 5 to six redish lights flying by in a coordinated arched sequence. At first I thought they might be airplanes or helicopters because we live close to Ft. Lauderdale airport but then they broke their flight pattern and flew around in a way that airplanes nor helicopters could. All of a sudden they flashed and then their lights turned off and they disappeared except for one. The one left behind hovered in a slow circular motion then slowly went down by a nearby highway (I-595) behind the trees. I was a bit alarmed that it came down. I contacted a few neighbors to see if anyone else saw the same but they didn't. As all this happened, there wer! e other planes in the area, someone else has to have seen this. Either a pilot, passenger or even drivers on the nearby highway must have seen something. I needed to report it in case someone else did see the lights in the sky. It happened between 10 and 10:30pm in Davie, Florida.

Oakland Park, FL
Two mornings ago, I had a very weird dream and when I awoke I noticed 3 RED DOTS ON MY LEFT ARM IN THE FORM OF A TRIANGLE.. I have submitted 2 sightings on this site, after each sighting i began to have terrible headaches as well as hearing talking over loud music in my right ear quite often. Upon looking online, i see the dots resemble abduction.. I TRULY would like to speak w/ someone about this. I did take a pic w/ my phones camera. Witness provides photo, and it shows three marks on the outside of her upper left arm, arranged in a triangular pattern. We have no way of knowing whether the marks are unusual, or whether they might have been caused by a terrestrial event, e.g. insect bites. PD

To start this off, first I must say for the simple fact of myself even telling this story is difficult. The witness contact made me feel a little eerie but I’ll take a chance anyway. After reading a few other UFO sighting reports and understanding what happened to a few of those people such as, “The Maury Island Incident,” it’s made me feel inclined to shutting my mouth. Please don’t think this is fake because I “N/A” my personal information. I wouldn’t waste an hour writing a fake story about what I’ve seen because it’s a serious matter. Anyone who fakes these stories should be ashamed. The story is, I am a rapper. I travel quite a bit honestly and don’t see much UFO activity, nor have I seen any since this night. I don’t go out looking for this stuff! Sometime in Mid-August of 2014, I had an all-night studio session. On the way to the studio, I called my friend to accompany me and he agreed to tag along. When we got there my engineer was upstairs waiting and we began our night. About 2 or 3 hours into recording, I finished a song and told my engineer I was stepping out for a smoke with my friend. It was a black n’ mild (tobacco), not weed so I’m pretty damn sure there were no hallucinations. When we came downstairs we walked to the middle of the empty parking lot (besides my car) and lit it and started talking about things non related to the issue. A moment passed and I looked up (I like to star gaze) and far in the air was something I’ve never seen before. I tapped my friend and pointed up, cursing. Honestly because I was a little scared, I’ve never seen anything like that before. We sat there well over a minute staring at whatever this thing is floating in the air. Here’s where things get technical. First off the sky was clear, nothing to mistake this for. The moon was full and the object height wise was next to the moon. Distance wise, it was at least 4 or 5 miles away from us. To get a better idea of this think about a plane passing by in the sky, only this object was “floating.” If you were to look at a full moon, put your hand up and make a 3 to 4 inch gap with your fingers from the edge of the moon and that is how far the object looked away from the moon from our point of view. It was bright orange, with a little yellow. It was smoking and had an orange fog around it as if it was about to explode. Initially we thought it was an aircraft that exploded in the air. Contrary to that there were no airplanes or helicopters visible anywhere within our sight! That’s weird especially in Central Florida speaking on how we have nonstop air traffic. One thing I did notice was that a few birds were flying in the opposite direction of this thing in the sky. It was circular, large and almost seemed like something ran into it, or hit it with something. It began to smoke heavily but the smoke was drifting to the side of it where we could still clearly see it. As the smoke thickened pieces of it began to fly off, almost looking like it was getting shot by another aircraft. About 3 mini, non-hearable explosions took place before we started backing up. About 8 to 10 minutes went by before I finally pulled out my phone and called my engineer to immediately come outside. I don’t know why his reaction was like this but he didn’t seem pretty surprised. He actually told us it’s probably just the “military’s doing.” I told him he was full of it and tried to take a picture. The damn thing showed up as a blur on every single one of my pictures! I’ve always owned an iPhone which is generally known for taking good pictures but tonight it was as if something prevented my phone from snapping a picture clearly. After maybe 5 more minutes of staring, the fog around it began to consume the craft and eventually as oddly as it was the in the sky, it dissipated, slowly fell and disintegrated almost to what seemed into thin air. Not believing what I’d just seen I looked around to see if anyone else was outside staring at the phenomenon and sure enough right in front of us was a man walking by on the sidewalk stopping to stare in the same area we were looking. As there was no way to show evidence and prove what we had seen to anyone else we shook it off, went back into the studio and honestly never spoke about it again.

Bradenton, FL
I took my dog out to the front lawn around 9:30 p.m. At this moment, I could hear a commercial airliner flying above. The airliner traveled from East to West at a high altitude. It was at this moment when a bright orange fireball in the sky caught my attention. The fireball appeared as a oversized star and I assumed it could be a possible satellite in orbit. The object traveled from West to East. It moved slightly faster than a commercial airliner. The object appeared as a orange fireball in the Western sky. As it flew direct overhead, the light faded away. Although there was no light or glow to the object, I could see the object continue in the sky to the far East. Now the object appears to be larger with no lights.

The object we saw was for circular with red lights flashing when moving. When stationary green lights blinked around the red lights. We discussed what this could have possibly have been. My son thought some kind of RC toy but my husband, daughter and I thought too high up and no noise. We thought some kind of drone or experimental craft out of McDill AFB but not quite sure what to make of it. My daughter ran to get a camera and binoculars but the object had left our viewing area by the time she returned.
