Longwood, FL
Observer background: Engineer working in the defense industry. Healthy adult with good hearing and vision. Time of sighting: 8:07 PM, US Eastern time, 4/4/2021 Duration of sighting: 3 minutes The weather at the time of the sighting was clear. There was very little wind at ground level, no clouds were in the sky, and the sun was setting. I saw a light in the sky off to the East. At first I assumed it was an aircraft, but I noticed it looked a bit odd. There was only a single light, and it seemed to be "flickering" the way a reflected fire might. The object seemed to be at a fairly high altitude, approximately that of a commercial aircraft; higher than a helicopter would typically fly. The object was moving from East to West in what seemed to be a straight line, at a very consistent and somewhat slow speed, compared to a commercial jet. The object didn't fly directly over me, I was a bit North of its path. As it came closer I realized the illumination on the object was because it was reflecting the setting sun - that it's front surface was apparently reflective. At least, that is my assumption. When the object went past me and I could see the bottom and back of it, I saw no other lights. No running lights of any kind were visible. The bottom and rear sides appeared dark or black. The object did not appear to be large, and I could not make out any detail. It appeared to be a "simple" shape such as an oval or sphere. There were no wings, no fins, or other projecting parts visible. The object did not leave any visible wake or contrail behind it. There was no detectable sound from the object at any point during the sighting. The object continued on its straight-line course at the same consistent altitude and speed until it was out of sight over the treeline on the Western horizon. No other observers were nearby.

On the morning of 3/30 at 245 am I’m sitting on my deck once again staring into the sky and out of nowhere a very very bright white orb appears out of nowhere traveling slightly vertical and very quickly started falling and then disappeared into thin air as quickly as it appeared this was the same thing I saw 2 nights previously except this time wasn’t nearly as hazy but only lasted for probably less than 2 seconds no sound was heard no trail seen again low 8-10 thousand feet is my best guess

On the evening of March 29th 1215 am I spotted a very very bright white orb exit a low lying cloud traveling East to West at great speed and disappearing into thin air before reaching the next cloud the clouds were low best guess 8-10 thousand feet the kind you can almost see through but not quite no sound was heard and it lasted less than 3 seconds no vertical movements only horizontal before disappearing and it appeared to be in the general vicinity of Ulmerton Rd and 113th my best guess it was also a clear night some stars in the sky

St. Petersburg, FL
We went to the beach to have a late night drink around 1am, in St. Petersburg, Florida. There were 4 of us sitting on a blanket and talking for about an hour. My sister, cousin and I were looking at the hotels down the strip of the beach. All of a sudden, we saw a white, bright, round looking shape, that quickly appeared. It looked like it shot up in the sky because you could see a slight tail from the light follow it. It was very bright and a significant size for something in the sky. It moved horizontally and darted back into the distance, all within a second or two. I would say it disappeared for a millisecond and reappeared really far away as it moved.. the bright light was dimmer and smaller because of the distance, but you could still see how intense it was.

Looking to the south from my location. Appeared about 35 degrees above horizon moving from west to due east for approximately 20-25 seconds. During the last moments that I could see it, it appeared to make a turn to the north or possibly change altitudes....it was hard to tell which . It was brighter than any star but not as bright as the moon. About 5 times the size of the North Star. The shape changed randomly...never being one particular shape. It was orange or gold in color. No tail or exhaust. I checked flight radar24 and nothing was there. No sound either. Not a lantern star, satellite or meteor. Wasn’t a plane nor drone. Don’t know what it was. I’m certain others seen it. It was pretty obvious racing across the sky.

Apollo Beach, FL
I was sitting on my deck at about 06:20 drinking my coffee. I was looking up at a cloud formation and, from the corner of my left eye, saw something move in the sky. I followed it across the sky as it moved from South to North. It was chevron shaped, whitish in color. I looked to see if there was something solid looking between the two sides of the chevron, but there wasn’t. There was no sound, no lights, and no trail. If I wasn’t looking up, I would not have seen it. I became very frightened. Observer background: I am a retired U.S. Government professional, 70 years of age. I have never knowingly seen a UFO before.

Tampa, FL
I was taking pictures of incoming commercial aircraft from my patio in tampa,fl on March 19,2021 with my Nikon 3400 digital camera.I then downloaded the pictures from my camera to my computer, On reveiwing the pictures I took, I came across a picture of a aircraft flying southbound and below it lower and quite a distance from it is a object I cannot identify. when you zoom in it reveals a object that is apple shaped but out of focus.and as I was shooting to the west at approx 4pm the object seems to be reflecting the sun. I can assure you I have not altered the picture in any way,nor am I interested in any gain from this picture, I just want an expert opinion on what the object may be.

West Palm Beach, FL
On March 16th, 2016, I was taking my car for a test drive after I had the battery jumped due to leaving my hazard lights on at work. All was running smoothly under the hood after a short cruise south on *Flagler Drive (*a waterfront road stretching the length of the intercoastal waterway, on the Atlantic Coast of S.Florida.) As I prepared to make a right turn heading west onto P. Beach Lakes Blvd; something bright,shiny, white & INCREDIBLY FAST caught my eye. Driving parallel with the object I could see clearly against a blue, cloudless sky; that it was a white or silver disc, heading West, presumably from off the Atlantic Ocean. Realizing what I was seeing, I quickly pulled into a CVS parking lot & parked facing the object. At this EXACT time, the disc stopped completely. Sitting stationary in mid air. Before I could think, blink or click a pic, the object literally & almost instantaneously, changed from a white disc into dark grey/silver disc. It stayed this way for maybe .06 seconds, before dissolving/dissipating into what I can only describe as a smear of dark grey smog/smoke. The smog/smoke had an odd form, horizontal with a slight upward angle, . Before I could think about it at all, it changed/morphed AGAIN. This time into a perfectly white, fluffy, “nothing to see here’” CLOUD. This blazingly fast, white then silver DISC, dissipated into a smear of grey smog (for a split second) then changing one final time into the white cloud. A seemingly normal, white cloud, that wouldn’t solicit a second glance from anyone. My excitement & adrenaline was definitely elevated after this sighting, due to the fact that my Husband & I FINALLY saw our first UFO (TicTac!) one month before this sighting. Early February 2021, we spotted the white/off-white ‘TicTac’ coming from the East (Atlantic Ocean) heading west, inland. The size, speed & maneuvers were unmistakable to me & convinced my husband, who is an engineer with 15 years of experience of all things-in-motion, that we indeed have some pretty intriguing visitors here is SoFla!

One photo has possibly 2 hovering UFOs above the city and another has a different shape & a bigger looking vessel of lights hovering. I'd just like to know what is in our pics.. Very interesting.

We were out photographing the sunset, and came across a strange spherical craft in the background of the photos. I have a series of photos that show the object, and just had time to edit them. I'd be happy to submit them.

Red orb first observed over Canaveral Air Force Station heading south at ~1,500' ASL. Southerly movement at ~40 mph for 8 miles was maintained ~5-7 miles from the shoreline. Then turned left (eastward) and continued out of sight.

Treasure Island, FL
While on a walk in our neighborhood we observed two very bright white lights in the sky. They were brighter and larger than a star. They were not moving and did not have any flashing lights. I'm interested in space, so I look up at the sky all the time and I have never seen anything that looked like this before. I was about to say to my husband what is that when the two objects shot off away from us due north toward the horizon and disappeared. We continued our walk and observed another light in the sky. I was looking at it when it suddenly change direction and turned north in the same direction that he other two had gone.

Pass a grill Beach, FL
My husband and I were sitting on pass a grill beach waiting for the sun to set. I noticed a bright shiny metallic circular looking craft in the sky . There was another several feet below. There was no noise and was not moving at all. It seemed the craft below moved closer to the one above it but did not observe it move. We stayed watching it until the sun went down . Once the sun went down we could no longer see them

We saw what we thought initially was falling debris, metal, as it's reflective surface caught the sun as it tumbled, but then we realized it was maneuvering and changing shape as it got closer. My son said "get your phone" after we watched it for a minute or two, and the attached video is the end of the sighting before we lost sight of it behind a tree. It was geometrical, like a cube, but changed shape. It appeared large (depending on how far away it was), with a highly reflective surface on one side. It made no noise but seemed to maneuver and change direction as it hovered.

Ft. Myers, FL
At about 22:45 hours last night I went out on my lanai (screened in porch). I have a great view to the south. I saw this object just above my horizon, and it was less than one mile away from me. It was a very bright red light or perhaps several lights stacked vertically (but on one object). It was stationary. I took video and several pictures but they were through my screen so the quality is not the best. This object remained in place for 5 minutes. I went inside briefly, then came back out to my porch but it was gone at this point. If I were to place this object onto a map it would have been at the intersection of McGregor Blvd and Cypress Lake Dr. My back round....I am a retired airline pilot and space enthusiast, having started building model airplanes when I was just six years old. Safe to say I am familiar with everything that flys. This object was too large to be a plane, and far too bright (no aircraft has the power to generate this much light). It is also not a light on any kind of antenna. It made no sound and remained stationary the whole time it was in view. I have never seen anything like this during an entire lifetime spent in aviation. This was not an aircraft maneuvering for RSW or Page Field. It was also not one of the mosquito spraying aircraft that operate quite low. To me this flying object is not identified.

Davie, FL
I was stargazing, when I saw a bright red star sized and intensity light, moving towards me overhead. It appeared to be traveling in a straight line, but then stopped moving, and changed direction. It stopped several times, and moved erratically. I also saw some flashing white lights, but mostly a steady red light. I watched it change direction several times, before it switched from mostly North to South, and traveled rapidly towards Miami, where I lost sight of it.

I was driving away from the airport area on I-275. As I'm approaching the I4 junction I witness about 15 warm hazy orange glowing orbs in the sky about 50 feet above and about five streets away from the interstate. Some orbs seemed closer to each other than others. They were all about the same height, and they were hovering. I got off the nearest exit and tried to keep my.eye on one. As I'm driving I also witness other people walking and pointing up at the sky. I feel relieved I'm not the only one finding these lights strange. I follow the light as it dims out and disappears, and when I can park, I see no signs of the other lights.

Boynton Beach, FL
It's nighttime in Boynton beach Florida and while just driving home I saw a solid bright green, solid dot object moving much much faster than a plane. There were no flashing lights and its color was very bright green. I first saw the object maybe 15 miles away?? I think it was coming from the northwest to the southeast. It Definitely wasn't a fireball. It couldn't have been a handheld drone because the object was MILES away from where I first saw it, until I lost sight. It definitely didn't fly on a path. It changed direction and appeared to go higher and lower compared to its flight pattern. There's an airport for only private planes in Boca Raton. The object may have been moving towards it, but it definitely wasn't a plane. I see private planes overhead all the time and can judge the speed of one. This object was RACING and maybe a little erratically at times. I know when planes are closer to you they appear faster but it just wasn't a plane. I'm about 20 miles from Palm Beach airport but the object wasn't anywhere near there. Nor was it coming or going in that direction. Can't believe I'm actually doing this but I'd love to know if anyone else saw it what I saw. I am absolutely aware that I was always curious about about ufos and have always looked as an amateur but I have never seen something like what I saw. Surely haven't seen something like it enough to take 15 minutes to report it.

I was looking at the stars, when I noticed a flash of light go to another star and from the first star I seen four more go to the other star and then I seen the 5 flash to another another star. Then they flashed other again then disappeared. I wish I had my phone with me at the time. But I didn't see them again

Riverview, FL
I am a retired 69 year old female Deputy Sheriff and the following is what transpired: It was late evening and I was sitting on my back porch when I saw, what I thought was a very bright star in the eastern sky. My next thought was that it was the brightest star that I had ever seen. I looked for other stars and there were none to be seen. I looked back at the object and realized that it was going up and at a slight right angle. My first thought was that it was a rocket launch from the Cape. Looking harder at the object I could see a blue haze in front of the object with the bright white light in back of the object. At this point I called my sister. I wanted her to see if she could see it also. When she answered, I started telling her to go outside. Not having taken my eyes from the object all of a sudden the white light disappears, a few seconds later there was a huge blue flash and then the blue just faded away. I then went on line and according to NASA there had been no launches that day.
