While staring up at the sky I observed a fast round shaped aircraft moving quickly with another similar shaped aircraft right behind it following and then a third joining from out of formation. No direct sight of the aircrafts, shadows were the detection while the aircrafts moved in between the sun and the clouds above. Aircrafts were flying West to East. Aircrafts moved much faster than a plane at the height they were observed.

Sitting outside with my wife watching a pretty cloud formation near sunset. The top of the cloud was really bright so I thought I would take a picture of it. I actually took three pictures as the sun was going down and the colors were changing. After looking back at the pictures, I noticed an anomaly in the second picture that I didn’t see when taking the shot.

Was on my lanai facing south and observed fiery red orb hoverinig over the city, about 1/4 of a mile away. I took several videos (one is posted on my Youtube channel) but the images are slighly blurred because I was filming through the porch screen. Silent, perfectly still, no visible means of lift or propulsion. No other part of the craft was visible besides the bright red orb. I'm a retired airline pilot and life-long aviation enthusiast, yet can offer no explanation as far as what this object might be. Unfortunately my attention was then called inside and when I returned to my porch moments later it was gone. I did not see it leave the area.

Coming home from a birthday dinner with my husband, daughter & grandson, while walking up a pathway from carport to access elevator to 3rd Fl condo unit we heard a rumbling sound and looked directly up to see a large, triangular shaped ship that had a very bright light from the ships center. It was not much higher then our 3 story building. It stayed hovering a few minutes. Us staring at it, & it at us, then it zoomed off. We were shocked and a bit frightened.

White, tic tac shape object very very high in the sky. Moving fairly fast. I watched from my patio as it flew right above my head. I watched it in disbelief because I could tell this wasn’t an airplane. We live near an airport so a drone couldn’t be flown that high. I could tell the size comparison as we have large buzzard birds flying high above and you could tell the object was higher than the birds. No audible sound. I watched it fly for a few minutes and noticed it would catch the sun just right every once in awhile and looked like tin foil gleaming in the sun. Then it would shift again and be pale white in color again. All of a sudden it vanished. I told my 17 yr old daughter as she came outside and she said “ya right” and when I looked up a new one came from behind me-same shape, speed, height. But it came from a different angle this time. We both watched it until it flew into the same spot in the sky the last one did and it vanished as well. I did go ! get my husband and he came out to investigate and debunk our UFO situation. He was left dumbfounded when several more came over the next few minutes. Again, all from different areas in the sky, but they all went to the same place in the sky before disappearing. Every hour or so I’ve looked up and I’ve waited and sure enough, as I was swimming I looked up and saw a commercial airliner. I watched it for a few minutes when all of a sudden-one of those white things came hauling tail at this plane. I mean FAST. It looked like it was gonna hit it T-Bone style, but it missed. I thought I was going to faint in the pool. My daughter took several videos and posted them online. We figured we better report this because so far it’s been a long day of sky watching. Which also peaks my curiosity of what we can see tonight in the dark.

My wife and I saw 3 spherical objects traveling from north to south about the size of a small car, dull titanium color flying in formation. They seem to be flying low relative to an aircraft which was traveling from Tampa airport due north. The 3 objects flew below the aircraft at a constant speed and formation. Estimate around 150-180 MPH. Initially I thought they were large balloons making a triangle shape based on my angle of observation, but then the leading objec swapped places with one of the object behind forming the triangle. The change in positions seemed coordinated and controlled. That was the moment I realize these were not balloons and were indeed self propelled. Due to their color, they seem to blend it well with the clear blue sky. I looked at a passing passenger aircraft and as soon as I took my eyes off of them, I was unable to see them. In contrast, my wife could still track them and see them. The closer they were from us was around 200 yards ground distance and about 300 yards above the ground. I am an Air Force veteran, an engineer in aerospace industry, and am familiar with all kinds of military manned and unmanned aircrafts. This object had no flight surfaces, no apparent propulsion, no exhaust, no sound, no windows (based on my angle of view), and seem to be flying under intelligent control.

Homestead, FL
It was 5:40 AM Friday I was on my way to the car, to head to work. I went to the back area of my house and then saw the ball of light flying south, I noticed it made no sound and there was no indication of flashing light from a plane or helicopter. I ran inside and told my father to look at the object, it flew pretty close to my area at pretty fast speeds he shrugged it off as a satellite but it looked too close to the ground to be a satellite. There is the Homestead Air Reserve Base nearby so I thought it could be a military plane but the object kept flying south, also planes fly in the outskirts of my town in both flight patterns south or north depending on the wind direction but fly rarely above residential areas.

On 7/10/2021 walking outside I saw something that wasn't a star in the night sky. Looking at it for over 15 minutes I was certain it was moving and recorded video and took photos. In the video you can see a disk-shaped craft spinning very fast, moving all over the night sky. The next night 7/11/2021 there were approx 30-40 crafts in the sky. Every night since then the crafts sit in the night sky with some of them warping away. You can shine your phone light at a craft high above you and they will slightly move/twinkle.

I was driving home from the gym pulling back into my neighborhood late at night. There were no other cars or people out as it was past 10:00. When I was headed down my street toward my house I noticed a set of three lights aligned in a triangular pattern. The lights came from the northeast and were moving toward the southwest. As the craft was overhead I stopped my car and looked up at it. It was moving extremely slow but very smoothly like it was just gliding over the ground. The weirdest part is that this set of triangular moving lights made no sounds whatsoever. I had the AC turned off, the radio turned off, and I even opened the car door for a second to see if I could hear what it was when I was getting freaked out. The whole time nothing, not even the slightest sound. When I looked really closely I realized that the craft was basically in the shape of a perfect triangle. Eventually it glided so far I couldn't see it anymore. I don’t know what! this could have been but it was completely silent and flying so low to the ground like maybe 100 feet off the roofs of the houses along the street it couldn't have been a drone, a plane, or a satellite. I have literally no explanation for this but I know what I saw.

Clearwater, FL
While landing a helicopter at the St. Pete Clearwater Airport (KPIE) a solid red light was observed west of the location. The light moved rapidly east at a steady speed, a short distance north of my position at the airport. A check of surrounding air traffic utilizing ADS-B in information showed no other traffic while observing the light. As the light passed overhead it did not change color, intensity, or speed. No sounds was observed due to the volume of the turbine helicopter, which was still running. The light continued traveling eastbound until it was out of sight due to cloud cover and buildings. A check of flights in the area after did not show any flights in the area. The light was red in color when views approaching, aside, and while traveling away. It did not blink of strobe and did not have any visible accompanying lights. It appeared brighter than aircraft navigation, taxi, landing, or anti-collision lights.

I was sitting on my front porch facing the south, a bright light caught my eye. I saw this fire ball that was emitting light like the sun. I turned on my phone camera and snapped a picture of it.

Suddenly, a metal triangle appeared. I don't recall if it appeared out of thin air, came from the cloud, or appeared from the 2-story house's roof next to me. I'm guessing it was half a mile up in the air if I could see it from that distance, meaning it was possibly 150-200 feet wide. It was horizontal to the ground, likely 1-2 miles away. It measured only a centimeter or less across from where I stood in my home, but it was clearly far away. It can be described as medium-dark metal because it shined and reflected sunlight on its corners as it rotated. There was no exhaust. No sound, no hum. I knew I could not grab a phone because it would be gone. The shape was precisely like an angled ruler. As I stared at this horizontal metal triangle in the sky, it started to slowly rotate around. Then, to my ultimate surprise, it slowly went vertical and began to TUMBLE north. This was a slow process. Imagine throwing an angled ruler at someone, holding it vertically (not like a frisbee), and recording it, to show it in ultra slow motion. That's how it appeared to disappear into the treeline beyond my vision. It was not far from the Plant City airport (maybe 4-5 miles east), but this was literally as clear as day and my eyes have never deceived me. It was Absolutely Nothing like an airplane, weather balloon, kite, drone, or anything I can find. It appeared that it was near the post office on East MLK and Kingsway, which is a more rural area than Tampa or Brandon. I'm not mentally ill and have never suffered hallucinations. I've never seen anything like this and cannot find a UFO that looks like it. Because of this, I felt the need to report this for your records. Thank you for reading. It has made me very paranoid and aware of the skies since then.

On the night of this occasion. I was sitting under a very cloudy night in Florida at or about 2:30 AM. I saw a light coming through the clouds but didn’t pay much attention. Thought it was a clearing in the sky for the moon to come through but it turned out to be more than that. It sat there in the shape of a vessel and later to see bright blue lights go off to its side. Releasing other vessels. Smaller ones to over see. It sat silently there no other aircraft around. No sound. But it after about a half hou,r just silently went back up into the clouds. So my words to you. Is I’ll never ever see a thing like this but I want to be notified of your input. Thank you ((name deleted))

On Saturday morning, June 19, 2021, around 7am, I was standing out in my driveway and heard an aircraft approaching from the East going West directly overhead. I stood and watched it come into view. It looked dark, probably not dark gray, but more black, was triangular in shape with there being two projecting structures out the back area. I thought F-117 Nighthawk but then wondered could it have been an F-22 Raptor? It really didn't look exactly like those aircraft so I wondered maybe some new stealth aircraft. If not a stealth aircraft, unidentified flying object. I didn't see a projecting front part of the aircraft like I see in the F-22. I didn't see any flashing lights. It had a sound that wasn't like a typical aircraft and it seemed to lumber across the sky . I am in Leesburg, Florida where we have a lot of aircraft overhead every day. But, nothing like this!

Panama City Beach, FL
During the late evening/early morning of June14/15, at Panama City Beach, FL, my close friend and I were lying on the beach looking at the stars and trying to track satellites. As I was tracking what appeared to be a very faint satellite, I noticed what looked like several satellites together in a circular/spiral pattern. They were very faint, the color of the stars. I then noticed 2 more groupings of faint satellites. Each group looked like faint stars, resembling stove burners. These groups were situated to form a triangle. I could vaguely make out a triangular shaped object that the “burners” were on. For lack of a better explanation, it seemed like I was looking at the underside of a “floating” triangle that had circular engines. The altitude seemed very high and the speed seemed very slow. I am not sure if I heard any noise other than a deep drone, as the sound of the ocean was too loud. I lost track after roughly 20-30 seconds. It seemed to blend into the stars or fade away.

For two nights we noticed a bright light in our southern ski.It seemed to just hover but move slightly.First thoughts was some locals with drones.only problem was it was there all night didn't think anyone would just stay in the same spot for so long let alone have power source to last as long.Night two same thing.Starting to get annoyed thinking nosey neighbors.On that night I would get up every hour or two go outside to see if it was there.About 06:30 I got up to let dogs out and spotted it,knowing the sun would be coming up soon decided to stay and watch it till daylight.which I did.I noticed as the sunlight come up it was getting higher and higher in sky at about 80% in sky I could see it and it was some type of white craft that seem to change into a cloud.I have pictures of it and a video.At this time I got my Girlfriend up to see it.When see come out Two objects come out the southwest ski full daylight now and made two runs from north to south long loo! ps no noise just like they were floating but able to maneuver at ease.After the loops they were gone and have not been back.They were not drones and they were about 100 ft long (guess)We live not to far from Cape Canaveral I'm not ruling out something military.I have pictures and video and will try to send.

I was sitting out on that night or close to it at about 2:30 AM on a very cloudy night for Florida. Out of the clouds came some lightness and to me it was a clearing in the sky and should be seeing the moon but instead there was no moon it was long and ship wise shaped not a boat. It came out even more and had a length to it. After seeing it show its true self....blue lights off to the side of it became noticeable and these blue lights ran off to the side of what I called the ship. Toward the end the blue lights went slender and had some length to them. It looked to me as these vessels were sent or released out of this ship because they were smaller in size to scope the area. The blue lights were a vibrant blue not a dark color very vibrant, radiant color compared to this vessel they occupied the outside.

Watching for airplanes and birds with my Canon 10X42 Image Stabilizing Binoculars when suddenly thought I was looking at a Dragonfly hovering. It stayed in place for a few seconds then started to it's left and DISAPPEARED! After it was gone realized I couldn't see anything that small focused 2 to 3 miles away. Trying to remember after it was gone that the thing was more cylindrical and nothing like wings on it. There did appear to be a disturbance around it that when first seen could have mistaken for whirring wings. In the field of view where a hawk would measure 1/8 to 1/4 inch this object facing me was much larger and maybe silver and some detail. Might have been in the 1/2 inch range.

1 triangle shaped moved slowly from North to South, it like 4 different bright lights Then 9 smaller spherical craft with only 1 bright light came in almost like a straight line from the West heading East then curved and started turning North in the direction the first one came from in a drone like pattern. Then a giant blue flash appeared, very low in altitude from the West and another triangle object appeared like the fist one came out. One last spherical object came from the East turning North, this was saucer like, The first triangle that went passed moved North slowly back from the way it came and the second triangle followed behind. I came running from the backyard to my father pointed out the first object to him. As I walked back 9 more spherical came from the West and is how it unfolded. I ended watching the rest from it the street trying to take pictures.

On my way to the car I stopped to observe the early morning sky which I do every morning before heading off to work. I was tracking a satellite across the sky that I identified on Night Sky app and could see with the naked eye. As the satellite tracked from straight above toward the horizon (east) I noticed motion further ahead of the satellites path. In a very small portion of the sky there were, what initially looked like shooting stars and they were streaking (some with trails and some were just lights) through this small portion of sky. If you held up a golf ball in front of you at arm’s length, that’s the area these lights were streaking through. They faded in, increasing in intensity, and faded out till gone and all within this small portion of sky. The strange thing was that there were patterns that repeated several times. First pattern, it was single lights streaking in the same exact path one after another in one single path, 3 to 5 in total. Not sure exactly how many but it was only a few and then the pattern changed. Second pattern, similar to the first but then there were multiple paths (3 paths) but still single lights streaking one at a time within these multiple paths. Third pattern, two lights at the same time streaking within two of the multiple paths, each time the two lights would streak within different paths. After the third pattern the entire sequence repeated with the first pattern. This sequence repeated multiple times and each time the overall light intensity decreased until the lights weren’t visible. I witnessed this over the course of a minute or more but it had already been going on prior to my attention.

It was a circle bright light object that pulsated and stood still above cloud level then a plane went by it and it shot straight up then stopped and started doing these figure 8 movements that almost looked like it was bouncing. It would stop and stay still several times while changing colors.

I was outside taking pictures of my website products and looking to the east I saw a pulsating light moving south at a very high rate of speed right along a line of strong thunderstorms at around 7,000 feet. I looked on Flightradar24 There were no aircraft in front of the line of the storm as it would have been too dangerous to fly. The object moved in a straight line towards the south. Multiple days I have seen this craft right before a storm and have ruled out it being a drone or bird
