I was leaving the grocery store and saw a number of really bright glowing objects moving very slowly through the sky, when I first noticed them really low they looked like they were much lower then started rising that's when I noticed many of them all over. My eyes were burning a bit when I got home, It felt as if I was staring at he sun. I have seen them a number of times while fishing of the beach and seeing them drop right into the water off in the distance.

We began to ask everyone what they thought it was and people just gathered off as the launch because they had heard there was a launch that night. Unbeknownst to them the launch hadn't even started.

Two lights hovering in close proximity, one larger than the other. Smaller one emitting “puffs” that appeared as clouds as it maneuvered slowly and deliberately underneath the larger light. Both lights gently and slowly decreased altitude while dimming and eventually receded behind their self-generated mist as they aligned closer together.

Temple Terrace, FL
I witnessed multiple strange white lights moving above me, in cloud cover on the evening of 09-12-2021 in the city of Temple Terrace, Florida (East of Tampa, Florida). I had gone to run on the track of a local middle school around 10:30 pm. I noticed the lights over ahead of me while I was running and for about 15 minutes afterwards. There were at least 4-5 white lights moving and zipping around rapidly in the sky above, sometimes in formation, but more often not in formation. I decided to record the lights, and as I was recording, an airplane came right through the area where the lights were. The lights were zooming and zigzagging around the aircraft, which continued flying East to West. The plane is a steady moving red light in the video and I could see the white lights moving around the plane. I did not hear any sounds other than the plane engine. I will be attempting to send video separately.

My wife and I were walking our dog and she normally looks up at the stars, then she told me to look up and asked me what is that? And we saw this boomerang-shaped object moving swiftly above our heads, it did not have lights that we could see, but its uniformly gray-like color was distinguishable from the clouds at the time. It moved in a straight line North to South at a consistent pace. It looked like it was high enough for us not to hear engines, but moved rather quickly over a cluster of clouds were we lost sight of it. We went to look online for similar sightings and the one we saw resembles the picture from 2016: ARTICLE-BOOMERANG-KEN-PFEIFER-5-14-16-..-JPEG.jpg

I was at the backyard when I looked up at the sky and saw this strange object coming from out of the clouds over the house. I couldn't make out what it was. After a few seconds I rang back in the house to get the cell phone to record what I could .I got the cell phone and grabbed my father running back to record. It had moved very quickly I tock some pics and videos. It had started in south east and moved towards north west. It made a slit tilt movement and moved real fast upward then continued north west .I had a hard time keeping the camera on it at times it just disappeared and reappeared further or in another direction as if by a snap of a finger. by the last video it was moving on a more gradual pace towards the west. There was never any sound of any kind coming from the object not even when it was at its closest when it was over the house. It lasted for about 45 minutes. It just kept getting further away until it just disappeared in thing air. My father was with me. All photos and videos have the time and day stamps in the cell phone. I wasn't sure who to report this to hence the time it tock me to do so.

Jacksonville, FL
JACKSONVILLE, FL - On September 6, 2021 - (Labor Day), I was traveling on a Jet Blue flight from Boston, MA to Jacksonville, FL. Our plane departed Logan Airport on time at 10am....scheduled to land in Jacksonville, FL at 12:50pm. The weather was clear blue skies for the entire flight. In full disclosure, I have been a licensed private pilot for 24 years, and a licensed drone pilot for 6 years. Typically when I fly commercially, I tend to book a window seat...on an exit row. On this flight, I was sitting in Row 12, window seat – exit row, on the left side of the aircraft. The jet configuration was two seats on the left, an aisle, and two seats on the right. At approximately 12:35pm, we had just entered the “pattern” for landing at Jacksonville International Airport. The Jet was on a downwind leg (paralleling the runway). The Jet was heading due West, at approximately 2,800 feet in the air, traveling at roughly 240mph. I clearing saw JAX airport out of the left window. Everything at the airport was very clear. The runways, the jets, the terminal, control tower, etc. I pressed my face against window looking west to see/gage when the pilot might turn left on the base leg of the pattern. Yes, I know it’s weird. As a pilot I tend to do that. Flying over this part of the pattern is a thick, heavy forest. In August, the leaves on the trees are very dark green. As I looked out the window, facing west, I saw three bright white objects flying in the opposite direction. I didn’t know what they were. Big white birds, three drones, no way, but I couldn’t tell. As they got closer, they were three long cylindrical objects. They were in a triangle pattern. They were roughly 75 feet to 150 feet above the tree line. I was above the objects. I was completely stunned what I saw. It was crystal clear and their white fuselage stuck out against the dark tree line. I could clearly see these “aircraft”. They were all white, I am guessing about the size of 2 or 3 cars (20 to 25 feet long)....maybe a bit longer. The width was about as wide as a car. They clearly had a rounded front fuselage, and a rounded rear – everything looked completely smooth. All three were the exact same size – and they were flying in a perfect triangle. These three had NO wings, NO rotors (blades), and absolutely NO exhaust. I could not see any windows. The entire encounter lasted 10-15 seconds. As they passed our Jet Blue flight, the left wing blocked my view for a second. As they flew past the wing, I looked to the rear and followed them until they were out of sight. I was completely stunned! After the flight, the captain of our plane was standing in the aisle outside of the cockpit. I stopped and asked him if he noticed anything on radar right before he turned the base leg. He said he did not notice anything. As I got into my vehicle, I was so upset that I pulled over and contacted the Jacksonville Control Tower. They took my information, and took a report. I told two people in the control tower what I saw. They probably thought I was nuts. When I got home, I also contact Naval Station Mayport. Since it was Labor Day, they had a skeleton crew working. I did leave 2 messages, one with a Lieutenant of Air Operations. To say that I am upset with what I saw is an understatement. Aeronautically speaking, what I observed is not possible. BUT I SAW IT! I hope I’m not cracking up. We spoke at length with the witness, and consider him to be exceptionally capable, and credible. PD

I was driving my niece to cheer practice, I saw an object floating not moving in the sky pulsating like a welders arc you would see in a shop. So I'm sitting at the stop sign with my niece getting ready to head east debating if I should stare at it or keep driving. Along comes another object the same size and color darting out from the east. Both of these objects appeared right before a line of thunderstorms appeared and seemed to be pretty high up in the sky I would say 7,500 to 10,000 feet.

Sebastian, FL
In August 2021 my brother and I were returning home from picking up a couch and we witnessed something strange above the Indian River/Intracoastal. Approximately 45 minutes after sunset in Sebastian FL we were travelling northbound toward Brevard and witnessed 7 orange coloured orbs moving in the sky. They travelled in multiple directions and they didn’t seem to make a noise. The air smelled heavily of burnt fuel or chemicals. My brother and I don’t drink or use any recreational drugs. We share differing views on the existence of extraterrestrials I am more reserved I’ve never viewed a UFO before this day but am unsure about my brother's history.

St. Pete Beach, FL
Just after sunset on St. Pete Beach on August 18 we had gone out after a tremendous storm looking West into the Gulf of Mexico. There was lightning streaking across the sky. On the beach we spotted a strange light hovering in the sky to the North. It suddenly shot straight down like an elevator then back up to a position about 30 degrees. The circular light began to move along the waterline at a height of about 3,000 feet. It then moved at a rapid rate of speed past us and to the South. I recorded this progress on my I Phone. I don't think it was a drone of any kind. There must have been hundreds of witnesses as this was a spectacular lightning display during and just after sunset.

My son calls me outside around 9pm it tells coming outside and look at all these object circling in the sky. The sky was partly cloudy. so was thinking maybe there were airplanes waiting to land maybe they were backed up because the storm we were suppose to get this weekend. I counted maybe like 12 ,So I started watching and then i started to video . I herd this loud noise almost like a jet or a large plane , but we don't have any airport that close to our house so i started to video this large object started and flying low down in area beside my house . So kept videoing it was loud and big, but right behind it i saw another object come down it didn't have a sound , but when came down all can see was bright object and then in a flash it disappeared. My son who was walking a few houses down call me freaking out that he saw something in the sky in front of him just hover in the sky and it disappeared. This is like the 3 time stuff like this has happen to hi! m. It was freaking amazing.

I have 3 dogs and I walk them 1 at a time.At 10:00p.m. in the eastern sky I saw a bright light like a planet was closer to earth. I paid no attention to it when I walked my second dog. When I walked my third dog, that is when it started pulsating, and moved very quickly in a diagonal way, above me. Than it started to change shape, color, and size. It went from this bright white light, to aan orange smaller light, it was moving too slowly to be an airplane and it didn't have the red and green blinking lights. As it was moving north above me, it got as small as a star, and just kept moving slowly. Than it pulsated to red, orange, blue, and within a flash it shot out of the sky like a shooting star.

Sunday nite I went to the store. I came back from hwy60 driving south on my road. When I got past our neighborhood entryway and almost to the first street, I started seeing bright red lights flying across the sky, ahead of me, flying east to west. It looked like red lights on planes. I saw several going by in a group. I thought it was probably a bunch of helicopters. Not flying high up like jets but above the tree line, maybe lower than planes, like helicopters. I have seen the sheriff flying 5 or 6 helicopters all together coming back from the south coming back to tampa a few times before. Like some kind of training trips. But the lights were bright red, and not blinking and no other lights anywhere else, just bright red ball of light. Not like a helicopter or plane has. But as I kept coming south, I saw more and more. At least 15 to 20. I knew it couldnt be planes or helicopters. And they werent in any pattern, just bunches of red lights flying across the sky. Pretty fast. Not like a helicopter, and was going upwards not like a plane would be flying straight. They were pretty close to me, maybe within a mile. It was about 8:06pm There was a man walking on the sidewalk with a little dog and he was just stopped, standing there looking at them. There was a truck behind me that kept going slower and finally stopped. I kept driving to my street and turned in east, toward my house. I was watching them continue to go by in a big spread out pattern. I got to my house and I had a fair view toward the south. I stopped and I found my phone and got to the camera and took a couple pictures. Then I tried to go to video but couldnt find the right button in the dark. So I just took a couple more pictures until they had all gone by. The last ones went by. they were spread out. In my pics you can see 4 of them far away, high up in a straight pattern. Those would have been as far away as tampa or the bay by that distance. My pictures were from 8:07 to 8:08pm when they had all gone by. My pictures show white lights but they were all bright red lights. One of my security cameras is pointed toward the 2 story house but it doesnt go up very high. And there is trees in front of it. But at 8:06 and 30 sec, there is a flash, like lightning, behind the trees. But there wasnt any clouds or lightning around. I think it may have been the large group of them maybe that caused the flash. I called the tv stations, mcdill, tia. Only answers were, we havent heard any other reports. And channel 13 said it could be drones. Drones wouldnt be that big and have that bright of a light. Mcdill is a major AFB and has radar and look out all the time. These objects were headed straight toward mcdill, probably 12 or so miles from my location. Mcdill said there wasnt any military aircraft in the area, and then said you should contact ufo reporting center web site. They didnt confirm or deny they saw anything.

Palm Beach Gardens, FL
At 10:50 PM on Monday August 10th I went out to get my mail for the day which I forgot to do earlier. It was a cloudy night and I couldn’t see any stars but off in the distance I saw two lights that I figured was an airplane. It was moving very slow for an airplane, but then is sped up and slowed down again as it got nearer my area and then came to a stop. I went inside and got my cell phone to get pictures of it. Looking straight up it was only about 20 degrees away from where I was. Now I could see two bright lights on either side of it and two very small lights on the top and bottom. I called my neighbor and he came out to see it and ten minutes had gone by and it did not move, plus there was no noise at all. I took many pictures and videos of it. We figured it must be a UFO and kept watching it for about 20 minutes. It did not move. I took many pictures and videos of it but could not get a clear picture as my phone takes great pictures in low light but if I zoomed in it came out as a single bright light. It was so clear with the naked eye and it seemed almost a square shape on it’s side with the lights on each corner. After it had not moved for about 40 minutes I did not know who to call so I called the Palm Beach Gardens Police to see if others had reported it but she said no and would have an officer in the area look for it. I went back in the house looking out and checking on it every once in a while. It was still in the same spot at midnight, and at 12:30 AM. Just before I went to bed at 1AM I checked and it had moved a little and was just about directly overhead. Nothing was there in the morning. I will email pictures and videos to you. I am a retired person who has been a business owner for many years.

Tampa, FL
I was driving home on busch blvd in tampa fl around 9:40 pm . I notice some bright orange lights in the sky and as I drove I noticed there was a diamond formation holding in the sky. There were no tall building in that area. It help shape for a few minutes and as I tried to take a picture some of them faded away. The orb at the bottom then moved up at the same angle of the one to the middle left light the glowing changed and then they faded away. I am sure other folks must of seen it as i was driving in the same direction. I only managed to get one clear picture of two of the orbs. I one bad photo I was near busch blvd and Armenia.

Auburndale/Winter Haven, FL
One rectangular object appeared to be floating, but moved rather fast into the clouds. It was blueish and appeared somewhat like a huge rectangular sheet, flat and billowy. It appeared to be intentionally driving itself in between the large thunderheads high in the sky.
