Fort Pierce, FL
Object was very, very small – all I could see were the flashing lights. I’m not sure how big it was as I don’t know exactly how high it was, only that it was lower than 11,000 feet. When it got to the end of the cloud bank, it went vertical (the lights changed aspect and began to dim), then it came back down (another aspect change in the lights and became brighter) and then went back the same way it came (toward the east)… The whole incident lasted about 30-40 seconds.

Craft was moving across sky. A picture of this was taken on a game camera. One frame it was there the next frame the craft was gone. The trail camera was attached to a tree in the woods I hunt in. The craft was a bright white. There were multiple lights shining out out of.the craft. This information I have on a SD card.

North Palm Beach, FL
We saw 4 fire type balls in the air right after sunset. I looked at my friend and said, “Do you see that?” We tried to videotape it but they were moving around too much. We were south of the fireballs and they were in the north east corner of the sky. They were like fire balls that were changing shape as well as changing to different tones of the fireball as they moved up and down and side to side very quickly. One would disappear and then come back in another area and then come back with the other fireballs. They clearly were not drones! All I can say is that they looked like fire balls that moved around sharply and randomly and we could tell they were all working together.

Satellite Beach, FL
My wife and I were spending the last evening of our Florida vacation watching the storms over the Atlantic Ocean, east of our condo in Satellite Beach Florida. This was on 08/20/2020. We were sitting on the beach, just out of reach of the surf, or so we thought, that plays a part in a moment. The storms were quite a ways out, at least 4 to 5 miles or more. To our north is Cape Canaveral and Cape Canaveral Air Force Base. While sitting and talking we were also taking short video clips of the storms and the beautiful lightening displays within them. While doing so we noticed quite a few aircraft moving about in the vicinity of the storms, some getting very close and we remarked about how one would think that the pilots would try to avoid flying into the storms. Most of the aircraft were far enough away they were just blinking dots. At approx. 2200 hrs I noticed that one of the aircraft appeared to be much closer, or actually much larger, than the others we had been seeing as it was bright, comparable to Venus in the night sky. It was a steady red color and not moving: It was in or at the north edge of the storm front. I noted this to my wife and she said it was just another aircraft. But it was NOT moving. I noted there was an aircraft moving northeasterly to the north of the larger light, and one moving due east away from the large light. These were clearly much further away or much smaller objects. I watched the object sitting, not moving, for approx. one minute. I started my phone to record video of this (so I thought) and just as I did a large wave came in and struck us as we were not far enough away from the increasing waves lol. This caused us to grab our stuff and quickly retreat further back on the shore. I refocused my attention after this brief, just a few seconds of clamoring up a few feet, interruption of viewing the object and it had now moved. It was now northwest of where it had been, still just as large and bright, but now it was roughly in between the two other mentioned air craft which were still moving the directions they had been. By my estimation it was now sitting just east of Cape Canaveral. I went to continue filming and realized my phone had not started filming, my error, and when I did get the video to start I aimed my phone back toward the object in question it was now gone. Some things of note: There had been a launch of some kind from the cape on Tuesday 08/18/2020 I believe. There was another launch scheduled for the next Monday I believe also. We were near both a spacecraft launch area and an USAF base. Other than the roar of the ocean there were no sounds detected. I am a LEO (going on 20 years) and also a lifelong believer in our planet being visited by other entities from other worlds, but have never experienced anything first hand related to this belief. I am a lifelong resident of Oklahoma and not a resident of Florida thus I don’t know what lights and craft are “normal” in the night skies, but I don’t think apparent instantaneous acceleration is normal and this object exhibited that twice. I decided that I was likely not seeing anything out of the ordinary and was going to let it go, as in not report to NUFORC, which I am aware of thanks to Coast to Coast AM. That is until I was catching up on recorded shows on my DVR and began watching the latest episode of “Unidentified: Inside America’s UFO Investigations” on the History channel. This newest episode was talking about sightings of orange or red objects off the U.S. east coast, including Florida. Thus I am making this report. I have no idea what I saw but it displayed things that stood out: Larger, apparently, than surrounding objects that were clearly aircraft. One solid color, red, displayed. No other flashing lights to indicate aircraft position etc. It moved twice at a high rate of speed: Once when I had to move my position, and again when I activated my phone camera. It moved completely out of sight on the latter. Thank you for your work collecting these sightings!

Was standing outside watering plants and happened to look up. I saw a white oval shaped object hovering. I thought I was seeing things so I went inside and grabbed my binoculars. I focused and I wasn’t seeing things, it was white/light grayish in color it was hovering and then began to move forward, then shot off VERY VERY FAST!! I then lost sight! My fiancé was with me and saw it as well. We’re still in shock from what we both saw. After the “tick tack” videos, I’m 100% that’s exactly the same object we BOTH saw!

I walked outside to smoke and had just looked up to my tree line after lighting my cigarette and noticed large bright lights through the trees,to the North. Upon seeing the object I was a little startled because it had no sound. It took a second to realise that it wasn't making any noise. Once I came to the realisation that it wasn't making any noise, I grabbed my phone and ran to the end of my driveway in hopes of getting a video. I guess I was so startled by the fact that it changed direction almost instantly that I didn't hit record. Once it cleared the tree line you could visibly see it was triangular in shape since we had some bad weather and lightning was lighting up the sky every 15-30 second. It made almost a 90 degree turn to the left and continued to the East. It was very low flying and just cruising.

We woke up around 1am and saw the white/yellow light in the sky. I took video with my iPhone but the object was very high up and I can only see it very well when I zoom. It is a ball of light that moves and has multicolors that can only be seen in Zoom view. It appears the middle of the orb is black. I have seen this 3 times over the past 3 weeks and once several months ago in a different area of the sky. I live between the Space Center (35 miles away) and a Nuclear Energy plant (10 miles away).

Pace, FL
On Sunday night, August 16, 2020, shortly before midnight, I took my dogs outside before bedtime . I looked up at the eastern sky and saw a very bright object that I had not previously seen in that location. I watched it for a minute or so, and then went in the house to get my binoculars. When I came back out, the object was still there so I began focusing on it. As I was doing so, the object just suddenly completely disappeared. I’ve been seeing strange objects in the eastern sky for around 3 years now, but never this bright. Previously, the objects have rapidly moved in ways that typical aircraft cannot (sideways, up and down, etc.). They also appeared to not be stars because sometimes they were there and sometimes they weren’t, whereas other stars and planets are always visible in the same approximate locations.

I can’t even express the shock I’m in!!! Tonight, as I sat on the bench outside while my husband was night fishing, I stared up into the beautiful night sky watching the airplanes fly back and forth and dazing into the stars. I watch them almost every night, I basically know the planes patterns . I’ve always admired the sky and wished I could know more! Let me just say I KNOW WHAT I SAW!! I saw what looked to be a flying/gliding star/object! It flew northbound, right into this fast-moving cloud. NOW it could have been the clouds that made it look like the star was moving OR it could have been a satellite or space station. NO! I quickly pulled out my phone and opened my star map (which shows space stations and satellites). It wasn't in our atmosphere! Before I knew it, it was gone. My husband didn't see it. I kept looking and saw another coming from the same direction but going downward then away from us, he didn't see that either! Within 10 minutes I saw 3 more Unidentified flying objects all coming from the Jupiter/Saturn area headed northbound! FINALLY, my husband saw the last one!! I'M NOT CRAZY! There is no way it was an airplane it did not have lights and was way too far out! It was not a shooting star either, there was no trail and it made it to the other side of the sky until it was too far to see and all from the SAME direction? I don't think so!! I could not believe it!! I searched for 10 more minutes and didn't see anymore! So, as I was going to go inside, I looked once more! I see ANOTHER UFO, but this time coming from where they disappeared, traveling straight towards Jupiter!!! We followed it until Jupiter’s massive light engulfed it. HOW CRAZY!!!! There was no way I was going inside after that!! There had to be at least 4 more coming back!! So, another 5 minutes go by and Mauricio was beginning to walk inside, and I screamed because I saw It!!! He caught sight if it and I ran to avoid losing it behind the palm tree and as I did so, it completely disappeared in its track DIRECTLY TOWARDS JUPITER!!!!! No way, no how that that was a coincidence!!! Something is going on and/or something is about to happen! I'm still in awe!!

Driving west when spotted large white rectangle traveling from south headed at a steady pace toward the north. Tried to figure out what it was but saw no plane that might be pulling it across the sky plus it seemed too large to be a banner. Grabbed my phone to try and get a picture but power lines got in the picture and by the time I got past them, the object had travelled out of my view.

Female HR Manager Male Military....possibly 3 or 4 different objects 1 large grey rectangle shape...2nd much smaller and all we could see was a bright star shape. This one kept going around the others very quickly...another one with a white tower in the middle. One time this object was by itself then another the small star like object right next to it. The other we just don't know. They all stayed in the same vicinity for more than an hour.

My husband and son went fishing so after a while I decided to go outside to look at the stars. When all of a sudden I saw an object as bright as a star but much bigger and surrounded by a moving halo of some sort. The object was stationary but suddenly and rapidly moved horizontally to the right then to the center again so I took a video with my phone as it was moving to the left in a straight line but slower. I’ve never seen anything like that. This is a second Vacation home, not my primary home

On the date and time stated in report details a severe thunderstorm was occuring. To share the event I shot several videos of the event. Upon sharing them with my wife on 08/15/20 we witnessed the craft traveling at a high rate of speed against the high winds of the storm. It was moving from west to east well above the tree line. It was hard to make out in the rain but made no noise. This is first time we have ever witnessed anything like this and was quite suprising to see in a video of a storm.

Land O Lakes, FL
On August 11, 2020 at 11:19:55 PM, I was outside in my back yard looking at the skies hoping to get a glimpse of the Perseid Meteor Shower of 2020, when suddenly I noticed two lights in the sky, perfectly in sync, side by side, flying low just above the houses. At first I thought they may be planes, helicopters, drones but there was NO SOUND coming from these two objects as they flew in front of me. I had my phone with me and took two pictures. One zoomed-in to the objects to get a closer view and the second picture, which came out blurry because I was rushing to get back to normal mode to take a picture of exactly where the objects were in relation to my back yard. After the second picture the objects were gone, and out of view. These objects were travelling north to south in the Land O Lakes, FL skies. There was another strange incident that happened two months later that same year. On or around October 27, 2020, an unexplained very bright white light woke me up around 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning. The light was shining outside my bedroom window scaring me, as I thought it was either a prowler, a police car search light, or a police helicopter, or somebody’s drone. However, once again, I heard NO SOUND of a car or helicopter or drone flying above. I live in a cul-de-sac and figured that if it was a car, I would see them coming back out but I did not see or hear anyone coming back out of the cul-de-sac. I experienced this bright light flash two more times, in my back yard and again on October 31, Halloween, on the street. These white light flashes only lasted seconds. Although these events were extraordinary, I thought there must be an explanation, and so I put them out of my mind. UNTIL I saw the 2020 Documentary THE PHENOMENON. There I learned about Case 47. The Great Falls, Montana UFO sighting caught on video on 15 August 1950. I was amazed as I sat there watching the exact same two objects I saw in August of 2020. The same positioning in the sky, the same speed of travel, both objects in sync, side by side, the same shape, no sound! I also was blown away that this happened 70 years ago, also in August. This is when I decided to report my sighting.

Saint Petersburg, FL
I was feeling insomnia early this morning and decided to go out for a smoke. I looked up at the sky as I often do and wondered to myself what that big bright star is in the sky. Facing East I could see the moon to my right (ESE) high in the night sky obscured by clouds as thunder and lightning played behind me (WSW). I remember focusing on the large star to the East when I saw movement to the left (ENE) of my perception of the moon. I would say it was high and very distant. It passed in front of the moon and continued in the South Easterly direction until it seemed almost to travel too far away from me, relative to my position on the ground, because it faded as though a car has driven too far away and you cannot spot it any longer. It moved very slowly and had no blinking lights. Its course was very steady, not like a flying bug or insect. It was barely a pinprick in size but was clearly visible due to sparse cloud cover and the brilliance of the moonlight. ! I knew it was not a plane or helicopter and assumed it was perhaps a satellite or the International Space Station. I watched reference videos of the ISS flybys to see if what I saw was different and I can only say that the difference to me appears to be the size of the light (The ISS appears to have been bigger light, bigger in the sense of its overall circumference, then what I witnessed) and that the object fell away from the planet. It did not disappear over the horizon. I cannot be certain if the object was in motion or not before my initial observance.

Riverview, FL
Last night I was driving with 2 friends along Providence rd. We were driving with the passenger window down when my friend sitting in the passenger seat noticed an orange "fireball" in the sky. I describe it as a fireball because the part that was moving and the tail both had a strong orange tinge. My friend pointed it out to me and our other friend sitting in the back seat. All 3 of us observed the orange "fireball" moving quickly through the night sky with a noticeable but not very long tail behind it approximately 3-4x longer than the actual object itself. My friend recorded a short video at this point. We were trying to figure out what it could be when approximately 2-3 minutes later, the "fireball" ceased all motion. As it abruptly stopped, the tail also dissipated leaving it as just an orange dot in the sky. It stayed in the same spot for maybe 30 seconds before disappearing all together. It was like the orange light just turned off. Unfortunately we only got it moving on camera and did not record it stopping and disappearing. I have lived in this area for over 10 years. Being around 30 miles from the nearest military base, I have seen many, many airplanes and other things throughout my time here but I have never seen an airplane, nor a meteor, or anything that looked or acted remotely like what I saw last night.

I was walking towards Orange blossom trail and I look up and I seen a dark Orange circle object floating towards the sky it's keeps going then it just disappeared into the sky not like it was up enough to even disappear it was strange because no it was like the object had an opening waiting for it to enter it ...it just disappeared I'm a firm believer of aliens now I'm also scared because it's strange to know that we are not alone in this Earth
