UFO Event Details: ((name deleted)) ((address deleted)) Road Englewood, FL 34224 Cell: 603-209-0002 Quantity: Single Craft Angle of view: approximately 65% Myself, my wife, and a friend were enjoying a chat on the back terrace on December 29th at 9:35pm, while leaning back in our Adirondack chairs and gazing upward at the clear night sky and a full array of stars, when our friend took notice of something moving cross the sky almost perpendicular to our viewing point. She directed our attention to it and asked "is that a satellite?" An initial visual assessment quickly determined that it was not a satellite (the craft had two yellowish-white disks; presumably the drives glowing on the rear), nor was it a civilian or commercial aircraft (no running lights of any type). While we were so focused on watching this extraordinary event, I gave no thought to imaging it until it was quite a distance past us, and then took a still image vs a video… Shape (see attached rendering and also images of spacecraft models found online, which generally depict similar shape, texture, and locations of the drives): Triangular; with a ratio of what appeared to be a length of approximately 1.2 times to that of its width (ration of 1W:1.2L). The height of the craft appeared to be tapered from taller at back to a shorter front. Similar height across the width at any particular cross section. Best estimate for the height at the back is that it was approximately 1/5 of the back’s width. The crafts underside had no visible lighting attached or providing illumination; however, the underside did appear as a medium gray and was visible to view because of what I believe to be refracted artificial night lighting from the populated area below. We were able to discern that the underside appeared to have a textured surface (I hesitate to make reference to fictional materials, but the texture looked similar to the appearance of external surfaces on the Star Wars type crafts). Size was difficult to determine (I would estimate that the crafts length when overhead was approximately the size of my thumb and forefinger spaced with a 1/2” separation and held at arm’s length), but the “feel” or perception was that it was large and that the clarity of the details we observed relating to the craft were not as a result of it being at close distance (low altitude), but rather because of its voluminous size. It had a presence in that manner. There were no observable sounds that we could associate with the craft (noise pollution in our vicinity was minimal). The two yellowish white discs on the back of the craft (assumed to be the means of propulsion), showed no evidence of flame or other substance “tailing” from the openings. Their margins were clear and crisp. The images show the color to be more yellow in comparison to what we saw, which was more white with a yellowish cast. The crafts course was approximately due north to south (there were no shifts in direction), maintained a consistent relatively slow speed (the duration from when the object was sight overhead to when it was lost to view on the horizon was approximately 2 minutes, during which time we never lost visibility). Altitude was difficult to ascertain (as stated above), however a best guess would have placed it above 10K ft and as high as possibly a low orbit as I was able to compare the height of the craft to a commercial airliner flying perpendicular to the craft and down the coast on approach to what I suspect was RSW airport in Ft Myers 40+ miles away (see attached, which captures both craft in the same image). I would bet the pilots saw this object as well on their radar (if it was within the range of the equipment) and probably with their eyes, as it crossed ahead of them and they were closer (at least my perspective) to it than we were. As a point of comparison, the aircraft is visible only in the image because of its running lights, which create a wavering line in the image due to cameras lengthened exposure setting, while the craft is visible not only by the two parallel orange elliptical rings which identify the spacing of the two drives at the back, but also the nose and left-side edge of the craft which remains just-visible and still easy to see in the image. The craft is at a further distance than the airliner based on our position. My guess is that (using the image as a basis for perspective and with the understanding of the airlines typical flight path down the coast) the airliner was approximately 3-4 miles away from us and the craft was at least several times farther (if not significantly more) than that. In summary, I am a 59yo male, who has never filed a UFO report nor have I experienced anything prior that is similar to this occurrence. I am not a conspiracy theorist and although I believe in the possibility for other life in this universe outside of what we create on Earth, I do not have any predisposition to believing aliens are flying over our heads and walking among us. My daily life is that of a flooring inspector, who observes and gathers data relating to said failures and assesses their causes. While this is not my area of expertise, I believe that my prowess for making relative observation and gathering supporting data is of good quality and has been detailed above as accurately as possible. My wife and friend concur with these details and are also professionals, who have never seen or filed a report relating to this type of experience. I would appreciate a response as to what additional information can be found relating to this event.

Naples, FL
12/29/21 @ 8:06PM - While at work in my condo building, I was on the roof of the building checking elevator equipment room temperatures. I was 23 stories high and as I looked at the gulf in the northern direction at about 3o degrees west I noticed 3 lights in the sky over the water. The lights were white and bright at night over the gulf of Mexico. They looked to be in a shape of a circle but when I zoom in on the video they could be oval shaped. The lights formed a triangle and seemed to be still at about maybe 1000-2000 feet. After a short time the the light at the top of the triangle moved east. I took a video with my iPhone 13 for 1 minute and 36 seconds. I thought what I observed was unusual and forgot about it until I watched a documentary on Shotime on UFO’s.

Lauderdale by the Sea Florida, FL
While waiting outside a beach side gift shop for my wife I was sitting on a bench facing east. Time was shortly after 12 pm EST. sky was clear with sea breeze. Looking up at the sky, I noticed a faint stationary star like object between two small clouds. What was interesting about the object was it seemed to brighten and dim with yellowish white light almost to non-visibility very irregularly. At some points it got quite bright, and then would dim and brighten again. It seemed to be very high up, too high for a drone, and if I had to guess, it seemed like something metallic, reflecting sunlight. No shape was discernable, it was a pinpoint of light. It was slighting north of east and about 50 degrees above the horizon. Interesting thing to me was it was absolutely stationary and never moved the whole time i saw it. The whole sighting lasted under 10 minutes. Object finally just disappeared and was no longer visible. I do not believe it was a drone or balloon, or conventional aircraft, the way it dimmed and brightened was unusual, and the impression it gave me was that it was something very high up.

Sun City Center, FL
I was taking a nightly walk through an empty construction yard right next to my house to help clear my mind before i head in for the night when i saw this massive disk floating above one of the partially completed houses. It wasn’t moving too much, just floating up and down and at first i thought it was just a weird satellite dish but when i got a better angle it was floating a bit above the houses. I got freaked out and booked it away back home and when i looked back it was still there, looking out my window now, however, I can’t see it anymore.

The morning at dawn on December 28, 2021 I was looking at my ring camera videos and went back around 1am and while I’m reviewing I spotted something going up from the back side away from the home across from me. Near the area in the video is bunch of trees in the spot my ring camera shown the light of something going up to the sky. There isn’t any nearby airport from the direction in my camera. Also on December 30, 2021 at 4:11am something a little smaller going up in a different direction from the camera. I don’t think it’s a shooting star because they fly across the sky, it can’t be a rocket going up because I don’t live near an army base. Don’t have Palm beach international airport near by where I live and still wouldn’t be able to see anything going up from their tarmac. I don’t think it’s anyone popping fireworks because it was 1:42am and no one live inside the forest that is in the back in that direction. Please let me know what you think and Thank you in advance!

When I saw the three objects in the video I opened FlightAware to see if it was possibly a plane and none were in that direction. I also checked to see if there were any Launches from Cape Canaveral.

On December 26th, at 5:46 PM, me and my family saw what appeared to be an extremely bright star in the sky. However, I watch the stars every night and hadn’t noticed this one before. The light we saw appeared to pulse every few seconds and didn’t move from its spot in the sky for nearly fifteen minutes. I took a video of it to prove it wasn’t moving as well as several strange pictures. In one picture, there is a clear object with two rings and in another, a string of what looks like lightning. We live next to an airfield and see dozens of planes, jets, and helicopters every day so we knew this unmoving, bright object wasn’t any of those things. At 6:00 PM, a plane began to fly in the direction of the craft and in response, the UAP started to slowly back up until it was completely out of sight. My family and I watched as it disappeared behind some houses and the plane flew by. I didn’t manage to get a picture of the plane, but I did get one last photo of the UFO before it was gone. In the photo you can see how much lower it was and that it was moving away.

On a crystal clear blue day after Christmas, I was driving with windows and sunroof down or open. While driving south on S Dale Mabry Highway, I approached the major east west intersection of Gandy Boulevard, slowing to a stop just passed the overpass of the Crosstown Expressway. While stopped with radio off, I noticed an object in my periphery. I looked up to see an extremely bright cigar shaped object. My initial thought was that it was a Soviet MiG from the Korean Conflict era. It had a red marking near the front. Although it made no sound, I didn’t think much of it for the half second I saw this object flying roughly 3,000 to 5,000 feet above head. Not the most unusual thing to see a jet flying considering we have a major military base, an international airport, a neighboring St Petersburg Airport, and several small airports, like Peter Knight, in the area. It moved over the my sunroof view and I refocused on the stop light. I picked it up again as it flew forward towards the South, towards the Military base, Macdill Air Force Base. I watched as this once very very bright object was now a darker circular shape, almost as if I was looking at the tail end of a tube or cigar. Saw zero vapor trail. No engine illumination of any kind. It flew an arced flight pattern from left to right, “checking out”. As it faded from my field of view, a series of intense bright flashes, akin to sparklers, appeared behind the object as it was some 20 miles away. After sparkling for a 1/4 second to 1/2 second, a massive portal opened up. It was the most incredible sight I’ve ever seen. A rectangular(ish) shaped window or portal. It must have been 100-200 times the size of the craft. The “portal” displayed a greenish, pinkish nebulae of sorts, like slow waves, like ripples. The portal closed a 1/4 to 1/2 second later. The sky seemed completely unaffected. Like nothing ever happened. Here and gone in roughly seconds. I was completely jaw dropped. I could sense that cars around me were moving forward and I noticed that a black pickup truck with tinted windows, directly in front of me, was also parked on his brakes, seemingly as shocked. We both eventually drove away with traffic. I had never witnessed a UFO until 12/26/2021. The entire observation lasted roughly seven seconds. I can’t explain what I’ve seen but I’m not embarrassed or ashamed to report this. I will swear on a Bible, under oath, that these were the facts as I observed them on 12/26/2021 at 10:24 a.m. Regards, Marcello Bessone

The sun looked very odd to me. To shimmery and to flummery. So I took a picture the when I got home I filtered out the brightness. It's plain as day. I have the original and the filtered photos. I will send the original and the filtered.

I was on the beach when I looked up. I noticed a dark rectangle approaching. It was moving along the coast from South to North. It was relatively low and silent. There was 6 lights on the bottom of the object. The lights were evenly spaced and equal in size and intensity. The object had no wings. About 10 minutes after the object passed the moon began to rise over the ocean. The moon that night was a bright neon orange color. Attached is an illustration.

At exactly 7:25pm and 8 seconds on December 23rd 2021, i saw a white light flying through the sky from east to west in Dr Phillips section of Orlando, FL. it flew in a straight line and never stopped. It didn’t make any noise, i checked flight and satellite radars and this object was neither. at first it looked like a massive shooting star, but it just kept going and going, never disappearing. i have never seen anything like it

This one was subtle, most people would not have noticed anything strange. It is simply a stationary illuminated object. I was on the balcony of my 27th floor condo (on the beach), which looks to the west, where I often enjoy a sunset. One evening, I observed a stationary light to the SW, making it unusual for the busy airspace. Would have said it's a helicopter, except there was no noise. While sitting on the balcony, helicopters can often be heard at a range up to 5 miles. Made a brief video with my iPhone 12 to look at later. Then forgot about it, until a week or two ago; I went to clear out my iCloud storage of old videos and photos. Took another look at it, and after zooming in, it became apparent it was not an approaching aircraft landing light. It showed a polyhedral shape to it, and seemed to show an opal like color that shifted and pulsed, but remained stationary. After enlarging, there were no apparent red or green aviation position lights. The camera seemed to retain approximate focus with the contrail remnant in the far background. I would estimate the light/UAP was maybe 3 or 4 miles east of the KFXE Fort Lauderdale Executive airport, the light being approximately 3 miles away to the South West from my position, and FXE being 6 miles away to the WSW. My ballpark estimate on the altitude would be about 2500 ft, which would be very unusual for known aircraft...the airspace boundary between FXE tower and Miami Approach/Departure is right at 2400AGL... as I have often flown out of FXE on IFR flight plans, I know that they do not assign aircraft that boundary altitude...it would create confusion as to which controller had that target. While aircraft often climb or descend through that altitude, they would not appear stationary. I did not call FXE tower, as I noted nothing unusual until some 20 months later. (Didn't bother to look at the video in detail for some time.). I am a retired Navy CDR (O-5), an ATP rated pilot with + 17,000 hours in some 60 types of aircraft. I am a retired major airline pilot, and have flown scheduled passenger service out of FXE airport. I also keep my twin engine Piper Seneca nearby and often fly in this airspace. This is my 4th observation of something strange, that I could not explain. I am also a former Field Investigator for MUFON (FL). I tried to upload the original format, but when exporting a video, Apple changes the format. If the upload isn't a full resolution view of the original video, please have someone contact me for a better way to upload. Would also appreciate someone with better video exam/enhancement skills to shed light on what this object may have been. To me, without any other explanation, this remains a simple UAP. My sources at MUFON tell me there were two other reports of "Orbs" within 24 hours of this sighting in other locations in SE Florida.

While driving on university N in Coral Springs just before turning right on Royal Palm BLVD heading home around 1am. I sighted a moving red flame in the sky as I tried to get my camera out to record it, it gotten lighter then suddenly vanished. I drove around looking to see if it was still around but couldn’t see anything and the sky was very clear with lots of stars present.

I was heading to my fire station and I’m sure there’s a logical reason for it, but super fast object went overhead. What I can’t explain which I’m trying to, is the short green trail that the object had. It was long but gone as fast as it appeared. No sound of airplane or drone. To low and fast for aircraft. I have no idea but I’m sure it can be explained.
