Edgewater, FL
Saw possibly 50 lights traveling N to S as far N as I could see, then disappearing right overhead. They all were in a straight line, though random spacing, traveling about plane airspeed. I was fishing, and I had my fishing companion look, and he acknowledged the same.

Fort Myers, FL
My husband’s mother called us to go out side. She had witnessed it first. We went out front looking North West we saw about 8 light spheres all lined up in a row. We live right by southwest Florida international airport. These were not planes. They did not blink and weren’t traveling where planes usually do. As they moved the first one disappeared. Then as everyone got to the same spot they also disappeared. They were moving fairly slow south east.

Longwood, FL
My apartment faces East. I was standing out on my 4th story balcony taking videos of the lightening (we had a severe thunderstorm warning). After a few minutes of recording, I saw from my North East point of view what looked like a huge deep orange fireball moving way faster than an aircraft. It was not blinking. It was flying super fast in a Western direction. I estimate around 800 mph high in the atmosphere--as it was moving much faster than the (normal red, white, and blue) blinking airplanes headed towards the Orlando International Airport. I at first thought it was a meteor in the atmosphere that came too close, or maybe the international space station, or even a lantern someone let off, but realized it wasn't any of those things. This fireball orb also had a faint white glow around the orange on the exterior. It's brightness fluctuated. It kept its path but seemed to slow down and speed up as it went...It then got smaller, darted, and completely disappeared into thin air. About 1-2 minutes later another identical looking fireball darted from the exact same direction and headed in the same direction at the same speed, also before completely vanishing around the same area. Before the 2nd fireball orb vanished, it remained in the same place in the sky. I actually took a video of these first 2 that I will email. The 3rd glowing fireball was much further to my north peaking in and out of the trees (you could tell it was much further away), getting brighter and fainter repetitively until it too, vanished. (this 3rd one was too distant to get on camera but I witnessed it). I have footage of the first 2 glowing orb fireballs on my iPhone. The closer I zoomed in on my iPhone I realized it seemed to be changing shaped and others seemed to be flashing in an out of the sky. I will edit my footage so that you can see those parts in slow-motion. The space launch sight (Cape Canaveral) is more to my South-East and I see the launches. I saw the historical launch today. While the rockets look orange in the dark, they have a super specific trajectory and are far more distant. There were also no other launches today. These fireballs were pretty sizable, much closer, and flying then disappearing. I know what I saw and it was nothing like the rocket launches, didn't look like any of the airplanes, and these glowing orb fireballs looked like nothing I had ever seen before. They only came around as the severe thunderstorm moved away South-West towards downtown Orlando and it had stopped raining at my place. (Tons of lightning)

Stuart, FL
At 8:49pm on Saturday, May 30th in Stuart, FL as I walked my dog near the corner of Cortez Ave and Osceola Street, I saw ten red-orange orbs in the sky. They were in a loose formation and moved/hovered slowly – until they didn’t when they simply seemed to blink out of sight. I saw one of the objects move lower then laterally prior to blinking out of sight. The whole sighting only lasted about 2 minutes. I got a video of 45 seconds of the sighting. The video is blurred at times because my dog kept yanking on my arm. I also have a fairly clear photo of one of the objects.

Cape Canaveral, FL
Today, while watching the recorded launch of the SpaceX Dragon rocket, my wife and I noticed an anomaly that deserves explanation. As the first stage of the rocket returned to earth, at approximately 6:02 (six minutes, two seconds) into the flight, an object traveling at very high speed streaks from center of the picture, and far below the rocket, slightly upward and to the right .. approximately the 2 o'clock position, if you will. Obviously, the camera providing the picture of the return is mounted on the side of the stage one rocket. In the view seen on TV, there are two directional guidance paddles (I have no idea the official name for them) that can be seen further down on the side of the rocket. The object we noticed can be seen slightly to the left of the paddle on the right as it streaks away further to the right. To me, it appears to be far below the rocket, perhaps closer to cloud level. Certainly the area in the ocean designated for the return lan! ding site is a well-known "no flight" area for aircraft. The speed that the object is traveling appears to far exceed that of normal aircraft.

Sebring, FL
I observed over Sebring Fl around 5pm on a perfectly clear day several UFO's hovering at extremely high altitudes. They hovered for at least 8 minutes then moved towards southwest at very rapid speeds. I have excellent eyesight, an aviation degree and pilot license with no other explanation. Definitely not any current man made aircraft. Something was making observations of this area. Most important this happend during covid pandemic and no flights at the time.

This is going to sound so weird, and perhaps I should not say this here, but, here goes... We just saw a UFO. This is NOT the first time we have seen something odd at night and this time, it was obvious. How does one go about reporting sightings? I googled and was sent to an astronomy club (via Nasa website). I thought this thing, at first, was a falling star, until it hovered for a moment and then sped off across our night sky and then hovered again on the other side of my horizon. NO, it was not a satellite, it was too low. NO, it was not a plane, I know what they look like and NO, it was not a shooting star. This thing went from one part of my horizon to another in less than 4 seconds.. It was fast, but, hovered and it showed up out of the blue. That's why I originally thought of a falling star. What we saw was NOT normally something you see in the sky. This is the 2nd time Carrie and I have witnessed something odd in the sky. The first time was in Hawaii (2018 and that was 3 stationary objects that flashed)... at first we thought that was morse code and that was about 1-2 AM Hawaii time on July 25? I have to check that date if someone would like to verify with me. I did not know there was a place to report, otherwise we would have reported sooner.

Orange Park, FL
At approximately 1300 hours on May 22, 2020, I was waiting outside of Sonny’s BBQ on Kingsley Avenue in Orange Park, Florida. Looking North across Kingsley Avenue is a construction crane, with the boom facing East, at the Orange Park Medical Center. Maybe one or two degrees above, and halfway of the boom, there was a bright white dot against a blue sky. The dot was not navigating as if it were a balloon or aircraft, but maybe as if it was a Bald Eagle. The dot moved slowly with respect to our location on the ground, and moved from two degrees above the boom to maybe near 20 degrees. It made gradual loops as it transitioned higher and higher in reference to the original location. The dance in the sky lasted for about three minutes before the object accelerated away Northeast at a flash of a speed. A Retired Navy Chief friend, and a couple standing next to me also observed the object, but had no idea what it may be.

Pompano Beach, FL
I’d just finished a walk around the Pompano Beach Airpark Bike Trail. The grounds encompass ±1,000 acres and include a public airport (PMP), Goodyear Blimp operations center, horse stables, outdoor shopping mall, municipal golf course and dog park. My vehicle was parked in the public parking lot located at the southeast corner of the property, approximately 25-feet from a chain link fence that denotes the border of the airport grounds. I frequently park in that lot and have become accustomed to seeing aircraft take off from runways 28 and 33. The confluence of the runways is ±1,000-feet west of the fence line at that location. Airplanes that take off from runway 28 fly directly over the parking lot at a very low altitude. The weather was clear and visibility was excellent. I had my (prescription) sunglasses on and was monitoring some thunderclouds that were forming off in the distance, to the west/northwest. I was sitting on the tailgate of my truck, facing the airport. I’d just removed my shoes and was looking down at my feet when I heard an airplane making its way down the runway. I looked up to see a small prop plane that had just taken off from runway 33. It was headed south/southeast, moving right to left, and was ±50-feet off the ground when I focused in on it. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed an object at a higher altitude that was moving left to right, in the opposite direction of (i.e. towards) the airplane. From my vantage point, the object appeared to pass directly over the airplane. I thought to myself “the pilot must have seen that.” Because the object was much smaller than the airplane, I assumed that it was a helium filled party balloon. I looked away and thought how dangerous it was for something like that to be floating in the airspace of the airport. Immediately, something didn’t sit right with me. I looked back, relocated and started tracking the object. I watched it very closely for ±5 seconds until it was out of my view. It definitely wasn’t an airplane, helicopter, balloon or any kind of drone that I’ve ever seen. I don’t know what it was. It stuck out like a sore thumb, thanks in part to the contrast provided by the backdrop of the thunderclouds that were forming in the distance, but more so in the way that it moved. It moved effortlessly and never varied in speed or altitude. It was as if the object was gliding on an invisible track or rail. Most curiously, it seemed to be tumbling, every which way. Nonetheless, its trajectory was in a perfectly straight line and it was moving much faster than the plane. It was surreal. The shape of the object has proven difficult to describe. It had no discernible points, edges or sharp angels. Rather, everything was rounded and smooth. It was slightly oblong, kind of like if you squished a football from end to end. - It was the size of a large trash can or 55-gallon drum; - It was flying at an altitude 2 to 3 times higher than the airplane; - It was moving 3 to 4 times faster than the airplane; - It was solid black and not reflective; - It didn’t have any windows, doors, seams or markings; - It didn’t have any lights or make any sound; - It didn’t have any props or rotors. Although there were other cars in the parking lot, no one else was around. Presumably, they were out on the trail. There may have been people on the golf course who saw it, as it flew right over it and out of my view. I pulled out of the parking lot at ±7:15 PM.

Light came in like a shooting star and then started to float as a plane would. The light seemed to move way faster then a normal plane, there were no indications of flashing lights as planes do. It looked like a bright star as it soared across our sky line until it got to the horizon and bolted upwards and vanished.

4 red glowing spheres were seen in the vicinity of I - 595 near Hiatus Rd. in Davie / Plantation. The first pair were at an altitude of 1,000 ft. heading East. The next pair appeared roughly around 8:50 p.m., at a much higher altitude proceeding to travel in the direction of Sawgrass Mills Mall.

Saw 30-40 lights traveling from East to West while walking the dogs. Thought it was an airplane at first then thought it was a star. Then noticed there was 30-40 of them spread across the sky. Traveling at a high rate of speed passing the stars. No noise. Very high altitude.

Lake Placid, FL
Starting around 5:00 am on Sunday 17th, After my morning run, I was looking up in the sky and saw lights moving from the southwest to the northeast extremely high in the sky, 4 to 5 times the altitude that an airplane would be flying. This lasted for 10 to 12 minutes. There was no pattern to the line of lights that came across the sky. Sometimes they would be several in a close line, sometime side by side or even two along side each other with one trailing. Some time they were spaced evenly and other times groups of 3 to 5 would be crossing. Nothing was flashing, and speeds were generally the same as they crossed. At one point there were 2 side by side with 2 trailing close, then one of the trailing lights made an abrupt right turn and leaded away. I went inside and woke my wife to see this. Once back outside they continued for several more minutes. During this entire time, I saw at least 75 to 80 of these lights cross the sky. I counted that during one poin! t there were 16 within my view from the southwest to the northeast sky.

Standing outside with my husband we seen a bright light- like no other coming our direction just above the tree lines, not even within a few seconds this light traveled from one distance to another, soon passing right over our backyard and shooting directly up into the air where it continued to go farther and farther until out of site . I ran inside to grab my camera to video, I was able to get the object at a distance via video before it disappeared.

Wellborn, FL
I saw a light in the sky brighter than venus approaching my position from the south. The sky was clear, light breeze temp 74 degrees. The craft was moving very slowly to the north and passed directly overhead. I estimate its size as large and at about 20K feet. As it passed overhead I could make out the triangular shape. there were small lights at each point and a large bright light in the center. There was no sound and no contrail and no strobe light. Passing overhead it changed course to the east. Again no sound. I lost sight of it over Lake City. I checked flightaware for air traffic and nothing was within miles of my position. I had a strong flashlight with me (1500 luniins) And attempted to signal it there was no response. DAMN second time in three years.

Port Richey, FL
I went into my back yard to take my dogs out around 9:00 pm and as I stood on my patio I noticed a strange light in the sky at about 245 degrees west,(I checked my phone's compass because I texted 2 friends to see if they could also see it) and about 20 feet up if looking at the horizon line ( but it was far in the distance) at first I thought it was a plane because it was twinkling green and red but after a few minutes it did not move. I had seen it the night before but went inside to find binoculars and when returned it was gone so I had disregarded it as a plane that I mistook. however, tonight, 2 nights in a row I have seen this strange object in the same exact spot. This time, I had my phone on me so I took video footage of it and sent it to 2 of my friends. In the video the colors are clearly changing between green, red, blue and purple. One of my friends also saw it and sent me a video back, however she saw several of these objects. I was able to get my binoculars and it was very bright and the colors changed rapidly. I turned my back to let my dogs back inside and it was gone.

Once I got home I realized this video looked different. It looked like a storm was coming and it was a beautiful, sunny day. When I slowed the video down, I recognized the UFO. No harm, no foul. Enjoy.

My girlfriend and I were laying on loungers at our pool around 10am. I was admiring the clear blue sky when 5 Silver circle craft, moving West to East quickly appeared overhead. I pointed and jokingly said "look UFOs". Then realized I had no idea what these were.. When I changed position to show my girlfriend they disappeared. So I laid back down and looked from original angle and there they were again still moving east towards the sun. I would estimate about 5k feet. No trail or noise. 1 of the craft sped past the others out of formation then fell back in the staggered line until they were out of sight.

After I saw this object that I was convinced was a ufo or uap It was just hovering ot standing still in the air & after about 45 secto a minute I saw a meteorite come falling with the fire tail & this thing litteraly jumped outta its way. From my view point it jumped to the left what looked about 5 feet over & then just sat there for a about 4 more seconds & then went from just hovering there to shooting across the sky to my left & kept moving until i couldn't see it any more. This object looked exactly like what I have seen in the navy pilots video like a white tic-tac shaped craft. It was definitely intelligently controlled as it got right out of the way of the falling meteorite. I have not told anyone about this as being afraid of being labeled a nut but I've seen that more people are talking about their experiences & now the u.s. government is saying ya these are real. & they are right as I know what I saw that night & nothing could just hover like that & then go from 0-im guessing 5,000 mph in a split second . It truly was amazing to see one for the first time in my life. Now I kind of know how people feel like when they tell you they saw a ghost & are completely convinced of it. I'm that guy now. I wanted to run in side & grab my cellphone but was to afraid it would be gone by the time I got back outside. So I don't have any pics. But I will definitely be watching & have been watching since.

Sarasota, FL
Saw a red light in the distant sky near my neighborhood. It was solid— not blinking and remained stationary. I did not see its source, only its presence. I saw it for approximately three minutes. Also, shortly after spotting it, either a loud airplane or helicopter flew directly overhead of me, heading straight towards the light. Then, my view of both the light and the aircraft became obstructed for a couple seconds and then they were gone. When I went closer to where the light was and where I could get a clearer view of the light, nothing was in the sky at all. The light looked like it could be more a sign of alert but I know of no polls of that height in my area.

Noticed one, then a 2nd and 3rd bright light out over the Gulf of Mexico. Moving South. Location is near an airport. During the sighting all air traffic stopped. Not one plane was spotted Eventually we saw over 3 dozen solid white lights spread out miles moving the same speed, same distance between each other. About ten minutes after the last light was out of sight, we noticed airline traffic once again.

I was sitting outside with my wife after dinner as we almost always do and out of the northwest we saw tiny lights that looked like stars moving pretty quickly in the southeast direction. We saw them move in the southeast direction but then they would go straight up after a few seconds of moving and disappear. One by one they did the same trajectory with maybe 5 or 6 seconds in between each one. After about the 10th object I called out my children and mother in law and they saw the final 5. In total we counted 16 lights. The lights were white and really faint like stars . I'm always looking up to the sky and believe we are not alone. My wife and I shot some video on our phones but you can hardly see them. My children are minors and my mother in law is of retirement age. This isn't the first time we see them moving across the sky but it is the first time we saw so many going in the same trajectory. They were too high and fast to be drones.

Tonight May 6th at approx 10pm. My wife and I were sitting outside in the backyard facing west. Venus was bright and low on the horizon. We witnessed what at first we thought was a satilite moving from about 2 o’clock from Venus to 11 o’clock then it seemed to fade away. It didn’t have any flashing or blinking lights. It looked like a dim star moving a at a constant speed. We saw 10 to 12 more lights appear and fade away along the same path in the sky one right after the other in a straight line. At one point I saw four lights and as the top most light faded away a new one would appear. So I would put these lights starting north of Venus and higher in the sky then moving diagonally upward and to the south, then fading close to the top stars of the Gemini constellation. I know they weren’t planes, again way to high up and no strobes. I thought it was a satillite but then there were so many one right after the other. Anyway this is what I saw.
