Orlando, FL
Saw what looked like a stealth shaped craft which is a V-shape moving fast for the amount of sky it covered. The lights were a tan color they weren’t bright and 2 were stationary like it was one craft or 2 crafts flying in formation. The 3rd light was making movements around the other 2 lights that were not the type of movements any aircraft or drone would be able to make. My wife who is a skeptic is now a believer. If she didn’t we what I saw I would have just kept my mouth shut. Here is the most unbelievable part it was at the beginning of the star wars attraction and we were looking up thinking the fireworks were going to start at 9pm. Thought it was parts of the attraction but it was not and it’s also a no fly zone.

Seen a blinking light moving extremely fast across the sky. Made several sharp turns And then was quickly out of viewing range. It was quiet and much faster than a plane or jet. I am current commercial pilot and ex Air Force Pilot.

Object sighted moving at a great speed. Neighbor alerted witness to the object. As he turned to view it he caught it as it slowed down radically. it remained moving south in a straight path for 2 to 3 seconds then burst forth at a great leap in speed. Yellowish multiple lights, 5 to 7 in number in a crescent shape. Crazy fast movement and acceleration. no sound at all.

As I was driving down the street I noticed bright yellow circles in the sky. The lights started the flash off one by one in sequence. Looked exactly like the pheonix lights! All the lights turned off and the sky went black. About 10 mins later the lights came back in and where in a different position! The light sequence happened again. Did not see after that.

First saw a super bright light 3 different times that came on out of nowhere, got very bright, then just went out, not moving . 10 minutes later, 4 lights in a row, very long, about 30 degrees above horizon, went out in succession from left to rightt, this taking about 15 seconds. Appeared very large and extremely bright.

Elkton, FL
I was driving to work. It was on a road with lots of farm land. The sky was a weird color, like yellowish because the sun was just rising. Something caught my eye. It was moving through the sky along the tree line going the opposite direction of me. I slowed down thinking it was a smudge or something on my window. It was circular. It looked like it was almost invisible but it wasn’t. There was like a shadow or just slightly darker area. It was moving so precise and steady. I kept staring until I couldn’t see it anymore as it headed the opposite way. Then, not far behind it came another one, going the same way.

Sarasota, FL
Identical to a Report that was filed here from Vero Beach on 09-24-19 Went out this morning before Sunrise and Witnessed this Object. Heard a low "hush" type sound first and looked up to see this maybe 1000 feet up. Almost Silent glide flight. V shaped, semi-transparent. Ground reflections or lights on it looked like it was a small cluster white birds at first then realized as it passed directly over me it obscured the view of the stars as it was a very clear morning. It was moving no more than 100 knots and we live very close to the Airport in Sarasota. This was moving from Northeast to Southwest. I know what I saw and to find the report from Vero Beach that is almost exact to mine makes me know what I saw was something real and from another World. starts in a v shape. We had Clear star sky. Heading west to east towards Atlantic Ocean. Only saw the shape/outline of the craft because it was reflecting off the ground lights.

Naples, FL
I happened to look up at a fast moving cone shaped object descending rapidly out of a low hanging cloud. The sky was blocked out by these low clouds. The sun either had already set or was blocked out by these grey low hanging clouds. There was approximately 35% ambient light remaining at the moment of the sighting. The clouds were at 1500 ft and broken. Some clouds were higher some lower but blocking out the evening sky. This object as I said dropped rapidly to approximately 500 ft elevation. It hovered there for 3 seconds then, It flew rapidly to the right, stopped after traveling about 30 degrees across a 180 degree field of view. After traveling quickly across that distance it stopped abruptly, held position for 3 seconds and reversed direction. It flew back in the direction from which it came as it gained altitude. It made several quick upward maneuvers as it traveled never changing shape as an aircraft would as it would turn to, or away from you as it m! aneuvered. It then stopped abruptly again. Hovered for an instant then it moved back to the right, as it very rapidly descended downward out of my field of view. It never reappeared in 5 minutes as I continued to scan the evening sky. I happened to be walking my dog and my dog alerted me to it, which began my sighting. My dog was frightened by the sight and she immediately turned around and headed back to the house we had come from 30 seconds before. It made a very faint humming sound as it maneuvered. It was cone shaped and seemed as though a bright whitish green light was suspended below the cone. It had what appeared to be a bright white light at the apex of the cone. These lights never changed their relative position as it sped around the sky. I am a 66 year old man. I have excellent uncorrected vision. I am a licensed Private Pilot and not prone to rash judgements. I have never made a UFO report before and frankly didnt want to report this one. I don't want attention or publicity for this sighting. Being a Pilot I do Not want to go on record as having witnessed this UFO. I felt duty bound to report this sighting so as to add my report to any others that might be made in response to this sighting.

I was looking out my back door window at the stars about 7:30 tonight. The sky was clear and moonless. I noticed a bright white light in the sky moving toward me from the south (from the direction of Eglin AFB). At first, I thought it might be a satellite, then I decided it was more likely an aircraft landing light and walked outside to get a better look. There are no airports close enough to my location that at pilot would find it necessary to turn on a landing light, so I’m thinking that maybe the pilot forgot to turn it off after takeoff. As is typical when seeing an aircraft approaching with the landing light on, the brightness of the white light overpowers the marker lights, with the exception of the strobes, but I didn't see any strobes or beacons, just the brilliant white light. I estimated the altitude to be between 5 & 10 thousand feet, traveling 200 knots or less as it passed by a couple of miles or less west of my observation point. My property is surrounded by trees 50 feet or higher, so, from my vantage point, my viewing angle of the craft was about 45 degrees, well above the tree tops. Unfortunately, my place is too close to I-10 and it was abnormally noisy tonight, so I was unable to hear the aircraft. But judging from the ambient noise level, I'd guess it wasn't prop driven. I could have heard a helicopter, and I think I could have heard props as well, but those new jet turbofan engines are really quiet, especially at the slower speed the aircraft was traveling. The first thing that struck me as odd as it grew closer and was positioned adjacent to me - the intensity of the bright white light remained the same, and did so until it went out of my sight continuing on its flight path northward. Obviously not a landing light. At least, I've never seen an omnidirectional, steady-burning bright white light on an aircraft. But it was close enough as it flew past that I could see four red lights well forward of the bright white light. Assuming an FAA standard aircraft navigation and anticollision light configuration, I should have been able to see a green marker light on the starboard (right) side of the aircraft, and either a white wingtip strobe, or a red or white strobe or flashing beacon on the lower fuselage, and a red or white strobe or flashing beacon on the upper fuselage or on the tip of the vertical stabilizer. There also should have been a smaller, white tail light as well. I should not have been able to see the solid red light, which is supposed to be displayed on the port (left) side of the aircraft. I didn’t see any beacons or strobes, red or white. However, I saw a steady-burning red light out in front (what I assumed was the tip of the nose of the aircraft), and three steady-burning red lights behind the forward red light. In the 60+ years that I have been aware of, and fascinated by, aircraft, I've never encountered a light configuration like this on an aircraft. And considering the non-standard light configuration, I was unable to determine the shape of the aircraft. I’ve been a private pilot since 1982, I was an avionics tech in the USAF for six years, a field engineer with a defense contractor on the USAF/Navy air combat training (ACMI/TACTS) ranges for nine years, and a Nav/Com/Weather technician for the FAA for 25 years. I retired from the FAA in 2014 and am currently working as a resident engineer for an FAA contractor.

My daughter stated she noticed two red lights in the sky after sun set, at first I thought it was nothing then at 10pm me and my wife was on balcony and saw two red lights, not moving stationary. A few minutes later a single light come on for a few seconds 100 of miles to the right of first light. A few minutes later a single light above the last location but a lot higher for a few seconds. Then approximately 5 minutes later a red light appeared 100 of miles to the left of the last location it also showed up twice. These dots where much brighter and larger than any star in sky, and they were not moving some lasted for seconds, some for 15-20 seconds.

Anclote Key State Park, FL
We were on my pontoon boat - we had spent most of the afternoon on Anclote Key Preserve State Park and the Sandbars that are just to the North of the park. There were 7 of us on the boat. We left the sandbars and headed out about 7 miles as the sun was setting, towards a reef sight and known fish haven. Because of the storms that had passed through earlier, the water was rough, with 3-foot seas, we decided to make a turn South and then head back just after the sun had set. We were pulling a jet ski so we could only move at around 4-5 mph in fear of snapping the tow line. As we were approaching the pass between the Anclote Key Preserve and the sandbars, two of the people on the front of the boat started talking about seeing what they thought was a bag or a balloon sitting on the water up ahead and to the right of the boat. We had no lights, other than standard navigational lights on at the time, however, because of the moisture in the air, the city lights were causing the water to have enough light reflected on it to see ahead in the water. As we approached the object, the 4 guests on the front of the boat were trying to figure out what it was, going back and forth as to whether it was a big plastic bag, a balloon or maybe even a big bird of some sort. However, as we got closer is was apparent that the object was bigger than everyone though, probably around 4-5 feet across, cylinder in shape and maybe 4 to 5 feet tall. As we came to with 100 feet or so of the object, it lifted quickly into the air straight up and hovered at around 8 to 10 feet off the water. It was a dull color, and you could tell it was solid but had no shininess to it at all. Everyone on the boat sat in silence and disbelief as we passed by the object to the right of the boat as it just sat there. No sound, no lights - nothing. Once passed, I turned to everyone and asked, 'Did you all just see that?' and everyone was still looking trying to see it. I turned! on my flood/spot lights, and turned the boat around because w! e all st ill thought it was something that may have been attached to the water and floating, but none of us seen any sort of cable or string attaching it to anything. After turning around, and making a couple of passes in the shape of a figure 8, we did not see the object again. We discussed the object all the way back in to the dock and we do not know what it was that we say. We all were in agreement that it was NOT as balloon, bag or bird of anny kind. We all believe it was a solid object, or what appeared to be very solid.

One orange sphere hovering in night sky turned bright then completely turned off. It appeared 5 min later then separated slowly into a second sphere. 10 min later one appeared again to the East, 10 min after that it appeared for a third time. Always hovering in the same equilateral line. We called the Coast Guard, they said there had been multiple calls about the objects and that the Air Force was training. Very peculiar, what air craft flies with its lights off at night and becomes a giant beam then disappears?

I was outside looking at stars with my mother for a couple of hours last night. I saw what appeared to be 10-20 very bright lights that flew by in a very distinct V shape formation that was only visible for a second or two. These lights were brighter than the brightest visible stars in the sky that night (Vega, Capella). They flew by so fast, I could not count how many lights there were exactly. Possible Phoenix Lights? I love star gazing and I see meteors and meteor showers often. This was nothing like I have ever seen before. The sighting made me jump from my chair in shock. There was no sound and no time to react to record a video. Although I did not see an "object," the lights were distinct enough that I will remember this sighting forever.

About 15 minutes later, we had gone northbound on the I-95, and I caught a quick glimpse of a dim light (dim due to distance) shoot from above my windshield, and head north. When I arrived to work, 3 hours into my shift, I check my phone and an article was posted, WITH video, about a North Carolina man on a Ferry with multiple witnesses who caught footage of 5+ lights above the ocean.

I often see comets or shooting stars as I sit on a bench on my front porch. Sometimes they are like a thin white streak through the night sky. Sometimes they are closer to earth and are a bright beautiful yellow. I enjoy seeing these, so I will often try to catch them. Last night at 2:19 or so I was sitting and I noticed something above in my peripheral. I looked up and it is a perfect v flying against the night sky. Glowing, and I am immediately out of my seat, rationalizing it to myself. Those are birds. It looks almost like the V birds make but somehow perfect and they are moving totally unlike birds. Nothing is staggered, it's almost like it's coasting. The light had seemed extremely bright when it was basically over top of me, but once it started to move rapidly away, it began to get slightly dimmer, but I could still easily see it against the night sky. In no time at all the V is getting longer and longer in the distance. The formation is heading towar! ds town so I can see the shape against the slightly lit up backdrop above the trees and I swear before it dipped below I could see the outline of a ship. It seemed wide like a saucer but thicker height wise then what I generally think of a saucer. I have lived here for more than a year. It is a tourist town on the coast and there is a military base very nearby. The Eglin Air Force Base. Basically this town is tourists and military members. I have never had an encounter like this before. I was on the phone with a friend of mine just screaming, "What is that? That is not normal." Because, it wasn't. Airplanes fly over my all the time. I am used to the roar at all hours of the night. I have watched from the beach as the air force practiced flying their jets in formation, and my daughter cried because it was literally too loud for her. I know what ships sound and look like in the sky, but whatever I saw last night was totally silent. No hum to the air. No roar as it passed by. I was terrified and giddy all at the same time. I almost started to cry, because in the midst of this thing I did not understand I realized it was sort of a gift. I am writing this in the hopes that you maybe get something from around this! area last night, that someone else saw something and I am not crazy. Even if no one else did see though, I never thought I would get to see something like it. It was a singular experience that was difficult to describe. I hope it helps!

Half circle of faintly lit dots that traveled west to east. Took a picture with my phone and zoomed in on the picture later in a completely dark room to reveal exactly what we had seen.
