Naples, FL
A local news source, UC Breaking News for SW Florida, recorded a video of a strange swirling light in the sky early this morning (October 31) at approximately 12:45 AM. Here is a link to the video posted on their Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/UCBreakingNews/status/1454844326694068228 I immediately thought of your organization when I viewed the video at the link above. The news service described the event as follows: "Early this morning we observed pulsating and seemingly circulating beams of light in the sky during peak activity from a geomagnetic storm after a recent significant solar flare. 12:45 AM - Immokalee Rd & Oil Well Grade facing north in Collier County, FL." The news agency is leaning toward a naturally-occurring phenomenon as a possible explanation, but I personally have my doubts, as you the video is very strange indeed.

While walking my dog I saw an unusual very bright orange/red light approaching my location. It was moving west to east appeared to be at around 500 feet. I thought it might be a helicopter but as it got closer it was completely silent. It was moving slowly and appeared to be hexagon shaped. It was difficult to make out the shape as it was so bright. I watched it move off to the East never changing speed or direction. Having thought the show was over I saw this exact scenario three more times. They were roughly one minute apart. The last one changed direction from the others slightly and almost passed directly over my head.

I wish to amend the report I submitted last evening. When the craft rotated right to left on its axis I could see what appeared to be rectangular shaped observation windows that were located aft of the craft's leading edge. My distance to this craft was too far to hear any sounds. I speculate that it must have been quiet. Assuming for a moment these are visitors from another part of our galaxy I strenuously recommend that we continue to treat them as friendlies unless they demonstrate aggression. God help us if this craft is really on a reconnaissance mission; part of a vanguard of an invading army from another planet. Editor it would be a good idea if you contacted the Towers at FLL and MIA. They may have recorded a radar paint of that craft.

The object continues to hover at this hour. It is approximately 40 degrees above the horizon emitting a bright white light. The object periodically rotates and several portals can be seen along its outer perimeter. The object is hovering at about 20000 feet, approximately 15 NM southwest of my position bearing 238 degrees relative. Neither Broward or Palm Beach Counties had their aviation units in the air. However a single airplane departed KBCT at about 2035 hrs. The airplane was climbing out on a northwest heading after departing the traffic pattern. The KBCT tower was closed and could not contact them to inquire if they had radar paint on this object, however this object was within the boundaries of the Miami TCA. I'm sure I am not the only observer to report this sighting. ADDENDUM FROM SOURCE OF ORIGINAL REPORT: LARGE GLOWING OBJECT IN SKY I wish to amend the report I submitted last evening.

7:20 AM - as I was walking to my car in the parking lot with another witness . Looked at the sky seen 2 white objects clear to the naked eye view . I tried to record but only was able to see one on my phone . Description of objects: Solid white object. Smooth , with no wings . No windows (from my view) looked like 2 long slender rounded objects stuck together as one . The size of 2 cars (from my view) like 2 tic-tac forming a line . There was a bright haze around it but no smoke trail .

Aventura (N.Miami Beach), FL
Tonight walking along the water outside my Condo property looking toward the Northwest, I noticed a very bright “star” that caught my attention because I live in a light polluted area where stars are not usually visible. This “star” was steady, too bright, and remained in the same location in the sky. As I was wondering about it, the “star” started a series of “bursts.” From a steady, very bright illumination, its bursts were clearly visible but not as bright. It then would return to being a steady, very bright light until the next series of bursts. I got out my camera to take a picture but kept missing the bursts so I switched to video. In the video you can see the bursts. Although I tried to keep the camera steady, the movement in the video is the camera, not the “star,” which remained steady. The only movement I could discern were the bursts.

Fort Myers Beach, FL
Sitting out on the beach by the Diamond Hotel in Fort Myers Beach watching the stars. All of a sudden, my partner and I saw a triangle shaped object floating across the sky to our right (north) passing from east to west. The object was completely silent, very large (significantly larger than a plane), without any lights. It was not possible to make out the object, we were only able to make it out because it was disrupting the night sky around it. We were able to track its movement for about 30 seconds before we lost track because it moved past the moonlight.

I thought they were jets but They made no sound The lights were also traveling at what seemed to be a very fast speed, judging the distance and small size. And comparing it to the speed of an airplane of equal distance, and size.

St. Augustine, FL
This is the second time within the last few nights that we have seen this type of object in the sky to the WSW and about 10 miles north of St. Augustine. It appears to be an equally spaced cross with the vertical section having 5 white lights and the horizontal section having two white lights on each side of the vertical section. The center light is the largest and is a very bright white with all remaining lights of less intensity. It appears to be almost stationary with just a very slight movement towards the west.

This morning at 6:45am I was out smoking a cigar on Howard Ave next to the river. As I was smoking I peered into a clear morning sky with zero cloud cover. It was still dark and I observed an object that looked like a star, but was moving at a high altitude and moving fast for that altitude. I do maybe think it could be the space station but didn't know that it shown so bright. This object did disappear from my vision which I thought was strange because it was a cloudless morning. The object was moving fast and high and was not a plane in my opinion. The object didn't blink and had no other lights other than the light of a star. The object looked as the altitude was in what I would consider space. The object looked like a moving star.

Our power was out so we went to eat dinner on our porch outside facing South. I look at the stars and moon a lot, I think they are lovely. I know there is only one very bright “star” at night I usually see – Venus. Once in a while, I know Mars gets close, but it is never as bright and a slightly different color. We were talking and I looked up and said, “How strange. It looks like there are two of Venus tonight…” My husband looked and we watched for a minute thinking that really they were exactly the same size and close and quite larger than even Venus really ever looks. Never moving, not changing in size at all, not a satellite, not a plane, very bright. Too high in the sky to be anything else. We stared for a coupled of minutes and then they both suddenly started to sim until they disappeared at exactly the same time. We looked at each other and thought what in the world just happened.

Lithia, FL
1 Oct 21 approx 1030 pm coming home from hockey game. I saw a bunch of orange lights in the Eastern sky that I thought at first were lights on top of very tall towers coz they pulsed slightly but then I realized there aren't any towers in that direction. They were about the same size maybe 7 or 8. As we rounded the corner I asked my husband what were they and pointed them out . He said maybe planes in formation, because at that point they appeared to be forming a line heading to the west. We stopped the car to listen and see if they were helicopters. 1 flew over us fairly high up but there was not a single sound. The others appeared to turn to the south then disappeared. 1 more started flying in our direction (westerly as did the first). I got out of the car and watched it, heard nothing, then it suddenly disappeared from view before it got overhead. I thought it went behind some clouds, but my husband said that the cloud layer was way too high. I didn't see! it again. The whole thing lasted about 15 minutes.

Outside our home at 10:50 pm on September 30, my wife and I observed something traveling across the sky horizontally and in a straight line, heading east north east with two distinct trailing flames coming from the back, orange and white in color, could not make out the craft, could only see the flames, was not moving particularly fast and we were able to view for about 45 seconds before it disappeared, my wife shot a video but it only shows one flame but there we definitely two flames coming from the rear!

I took two videos that contained around 10 plus white round objects, in one video a red flash occurred 90 seconds into the video that was very fast and not in a straight line. The round white objects sometimes just stayed hovering and some disappeared and reappeared. I was looking for the Milky Way when I noticed all these. These were taken in a very dark sky using my Samsung Galaxy fold 3 smartphone with no flash used. Objects made no noise and had no exhaust. No lights on objects

A triangular-shaped aircraft moved very smoothly from North to South. It had very dim lights on the front 2 sides of the triangle >. First I thought it was the formation of geese or some other birds but soon realized from the straight line smooth motion it was UFO. It moved behind the trees too soon for me to be able to take the picture/movie.

Fort Walton Beach, FL
On Thursday morning, 23 September 2021, my family and I waded in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico on the shoreline of Fort Walton Beach on Okaloosa Island, Florida, behind the Marriott Fairfield Inn & Suites, where we stayed for our trip to the area. Fairfield Inn & Suites is located at 540 Santa Rosa Boulevard, in Ft. Walton Beach, Florida. We had flown into Pensacola International Airport the previous evening, and Thursday morning around 09:00 AM was our first opportunity to walk and explore along the beach behind the hotel, and enjoy the warm Gulf waters and look for shells. The sky was clear and beautiful, with the Sun shining high and bright in the eastern part of the sky, a prelude to the nice day ahead of us. Shortly after 10:00 AM local time, Central Standard Time (CST) [11:00 AM EST], we started to head back to the beach access boardwalk, and return to the hotel. My wife and daughter were ahead of me, as I looked out towards the sky across the Gulf waters. There were a few other people standing approximately 50-60 feet out beyond the shoreline in the water, when I spotted a faint dark object in the sky above them. The object appeared to maneuver closer towards the beach. I have followed military and civil aviation developments since my childhood and recognize a broad variety of fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft. I was therefore naturally curious to see what aircraft might be approaching the area. Earlier in the morning, I observed different types of aircraft flying above us, and heading southwards over the Gulf of Mexico, and as I came to note during our stay, there was frequent flight traffic overhead in the Fort Walton/Destin area throughout the day. I knew that just across the Choctawhatchee Bay, northeast of Fort Walton Beach, there was Eglin Air Force Base (AFB), which conducts development and testing of tactical air weapons and armaments for the U.S. Air Force; and to the West was Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola, the hub of naval aviation training and home of the U.S. Navy Blue Angels aerobatic demonstration team. Further down the eastern coastline, close to Panama City, was Tyndall AFB, which houses the 325th Fighter Wing that! trains all F-22 Raptor pilots, and in the past hosted the Air Force’s biennial William Tell air-to-air weapons competition. I stopped walking in the sand and stood silently facing the water to see if I could recognize the vehicle in the sky that was approaching us overhead. I didn’t call out to my wife and daughter, because I assumed this was a conventional aircraft, and that was of no interest to them. It is also for this reason that I did not immediately pull out my mobile phone from my pocket, to take pictures or a video of the object, as I had already taken pictures of my family while we hunted for sea shells and other things. As the object approached closer to the beach, I observed it was a cylindrical shaped object, hovering nearly vertical in the sky, at a slight angle tilting forward. It was black or a dark color, with some panel lines that could be made out in the bright sky. The vehicle featured shiny longer extensions that protruded at the upper end from either side of its thin tube-shaped body. These extensions reflected bright in the clear morning sky, almost as if they glowed ! at irregular intervals. They looked similar to solar panels extending from the sides of a space satellite. The object made no apparent sound that I could hear, although it appeared to hover above the water at a distance of about 500 feet, and perhaps 700 feet in the air. As I viewed the shape and configuration of this object, I tried to associate its features with an aircraft, manned or unmanned, that I might be familiar with, so I could clearly reference it. I did initially think this might be a new type of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), and perhaps a hovering helicopter drone, similar to what I believe the U.S. Navy experimented with in the past – I think back in the 1990s – to provide a shipborne scout and reconnaissance drone. That vehicle had a set of coaxial rotor blades aerodynamically integrated into a fairly large curvy, hourglass-shaped body, but which never made it into production. I could not remember the manufacturer or the designation of that vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) vehicle but could probably be referenced in a past Jane’s All the World’s Aircraft volume. The object in the sky appeared to have a conceptual resemblance to this past defense project, at first. I initially thought that, because of the protruding p! anels that, from a distance, and when the vehicle was at a level perspective, appeared to be in the shape of rotating blades, like a conventional helicopter. In addition to its protruding extensions, the vehicle had several needle-like extensions below the cylindrical body that were angled outwards; maybe antenna or sensors of some kind. However, since the object made no sound, and there was no downwash from any turning rotor blades onto the surface of the water, it quickly became clear to me that this was not a conventional air vehicle moving in the sky but something else. Moreover, it appeared to observe the aforementioned people in the water, close to the shoreline. Had the object made any apparent sound, those people would have turned their heads to the sky to also view what I was seeing from the beach. But they did not; the 2-3 people in the water were oblivious to the hovering object in the sky that was closing in on them, from what I could tell, and continued to talk and go about their business, uninterrupted. I called out to wife and daughter that I was observing something in the sky that I wanted them to see. I did say that I thought it might be a UFO, or unidentified flying object, or some kind of unknown type of UAV. My wife stopped walking, as she was almost at the beach access ramp, and turned around to walk back towards me, and see what I was watching. She called out for me to take a video of it, and I reached down into my pocket to grab my phone and activate the video mode. During this time, I observed how the object came to what was probably its closest point to the beach, possibly around 400 feet within the beach and 500 feet in altitude, and hovered at an angle to “observe” the people in the water. It rotated slightly around its axis, as the protruding silver-colored panels reflected bright against the sunlight. The people below took no visible note of the vehicle, from what I could discern. Judging by the altitude and distance of the object to the people in the water, I roughly estimated the main body of the vehicle to be larger than a 6-foot tall man, possibly around 8-10 feet in height, with the total span across the panels measuring approximately 15-18 feet. The most peculiar aspect of this encounter was that the object then appeared to “notice” that I had observed its presence, and as I tried to point my cellphone to the sky in its direction, the vehicle took off at great speed out over the water into the Gulf. It made no sound as it flew out, to quickly put a large distance between it and the shoreline. By the time I had activated the video camera on my phone and recorded as closely as a I could zoom in onto the object, it was already far out over the water, perhaps at a distance of over 3,000 feet away from the beach. The video has a creation timestamp of 10:04 AM CST [11:04 AM EST], and has a runtime of 45 seconds. Due to the bright daylight of the morning Sun, it was difficult to make out the object in the sky with my cellphone and focus in on it. It was also challenging to clearly view anything on the phone screen, let alone see small, faint objects that the camera might acquire. The only reference point in the sky I had was to note the object’s reflection, so I would not entirely miss recording the event. As I pointed the lens of my phone camera in the object’s approximate direction, I was able to catch interm

This is one of many that we seen. We went to look at the Hubble one night and seen this ball of light that was very close and no noise moving rapidly and changing direction. It was much closer than this. It would seeming get brighter and strobe very bright while darting about then vanished. Over the next few nights we seen this similar thing but further away. I have a few of this. Multiple of us witnessed. Haven’t seen anything similar since. However I have seen many things over the years. But nothing quite like this
