Unexpectedly an object of Triangular Shape about the size of a 737 came across the sky roughly ½ mile to our west and approximately 1000 to 1500 feet and traveling very fast and silent. The craft made no noise on a clear and clam night as a front had recently come through. The craft showed no Navigation lights but had several “Puck” type lights under each wing. I believe there were about 6 or 7 that ran the entire length of the craft. The object transitioned the area in about 5 seconds and airliners doing the same distance to the local airport only slightly higher than what we saw take about 17 to 20 seconds. The “Tail” of this object appeared blurry as though it maintained some type of distortion in that area. I am a former airline pilot and Naval Aviator and I consider myself somewhat educated on airplanes and their characteristics. This gave both my wife and I “goose bumps.” I reported this sighting to MUFON and they blew it off as a B-2. I have seen many B-2’s over my time… many. Their engines produce noise and the airframe has a similar but not the same geometry. MUFON stated it was a B-2 on its way to MacDill. I was a young Naval Aviator …21 years old and full of myself. I would never have risked my career by running 1000 feet above a very populated area with no required navigation or landing lights. MacDill is about 67 Miles to my North…. Running through this densely populated area with no lights other than these dim puck type lights under the wing would be a court martial offense in this day and age. I think MUFON did not do a proper job in their analysis. I would be very interested in what you think. Recently I was watching a program called Unacknowledged and at the 1;26 minute mark….. or close to it, they show a craft that is a very close approximation to what my wife and I saw.

My wife and I were on the deck of our home in Port Charlotte, FL. It was a very quiet evening with the cold frontal passage earlier in the day so the night was quite clear. At about 10;35 PM this V -shaped craft passed overhead with extraordinary puck-type lights underneath. Roughly 7 lights under each (wing.) The lights were dull and did not appear to be used for illumination. The craft displayed no navigation lights as required by the FAA and was in an airport control zone at the time of observation. There was absolutely no....NO sound. There was no airframe noise as you would hear even from a glider. I have submitted this report to MUFON and another organization but with no satisfactory answer. As a former Navy Fighter Pilot and 33-year airline pilot, I have never ever seen anything like it. It also had a strange misty look along what would be the tail area like something that was "decloaking" in a Star Trek movie. I will not forget it. I would sure like to know what it was. I have seen many B-2's and they all make noise unless they have improved engine noise suppression, and I have never observed puck-type lights under the wings of a B-2. That was MUFON's explanation. I do not buy it.

The craft was not far from Mara Largo and the Palm Beach International Airport here in Palm Beach County and was flying away from the estate, but and not from it. These craft are regularly seen in this area periodically and at times have been observed using strange devices in the Palm Beach County area. In one instance when one of this type of craft were seen in 1996, the craft was flying at about 200 feet and as it got closer to where I was sitting across from a large wooded area in a park the craft released some form of electrical explosive device that exploded near the ground in the woods approx. 75 yards from where I was sitting. Whatever kind of weapon it was it exploded into a perfect dome of bluish white light about 50 feet in height. It was unbelievable, and without my military training, I would have been quite scared, I am sure.

My fiancé and I were sitting in our backyard, watching the stars, and he saw a very bright light moving quickly through the sky a distance away. I looked and saw it, too, and a few seconds later, the light became dimmer, and then a few seconds after that, it completely disappeared. We kept watching in the direction it was previously headed, but saw nothing.

I was talking with a friend on the phone, when I noticed red lights (a set of two) floating in the air north of us. It appeared to be distance from us, around Cape Canaveral distance. The lights hovered, then quickly darted towards the east. The object stopped abruptly, then moved back towards the West with small scallop like motion a couple of times. It then stopped again, and slowly lowered downward. At my line of sight, it dropped below tree line briefly, then seconds later shot up high into the sky again, abruptly stopping, then moving westward at a rapid speed, to then stop again make a small loop, and then move eastward again at a rapid speed. The movements were too fast and the stops to abrupt compared to a helicopter. The blink of either green or blue lights were apparent at a couple of the the maneuvers. The object dipped below the tree line again. It came above the tree line once agin and darted at a skyward diagonal heading eastward, stopped, hovered, then headed west again at a rapid speed. Eventually the object lowered straight down below tree line and out of sight. During the encounter there was no sound, such as with helicopters or airplanes.

At least five line formations, several lights in each line. One in the Eastern sky made up of blue, white and green lights, the others red, orange and white. All were in straight up and down lines in various spots in the sky. Two of the red, orange and white lines were directly above one another in the southern sky over the Lithia area. Could not be captured on my phone. Made several attempts with no luck.

My wife and I were walking through the parking lot of the Pepin Center in Tampa, Florida, when I pointed out to her two lights in the north-northeast sky at approximately 20 degrees from the horizon. They were about the size and intensity of brightness as Sirius. They were a thumb's distance apart and stationary. I pointed out to my wife that I didn't know of any constellation with stars that bright in the north sky in the Tampa area at this or any other time of the year. After about a minute, the two stationary lights dimmed and then disappeared. Thoroughly perplexed as to what these were - - they were not satellites, meteorites, rockets/missiles,or aircraft landing lights. Their altitude and actual size was impossible to determine. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Good evening Mr. Davenport: It's an honor to hear from you! I am very familiar with the landing lights of all manner of aircraft. I am both an aviation and astronomy buff and am well acquainted with both spheres of study. Within moments after this sighting, I did see a commercial airliner (by engine sound and configuration of landing and navigation lights, likely an Airbus A-319 or A-320 series or a Boeing 737) at about 5,000' AGL commencing a downwind (heading south for a north landing on Runway 35R) approach to Tampa International Airport(KTPA). That aircraft was due west when I spotted it - - I did wonder if anyone in it on its port side might have seen these two lights, but I suspect the lights were possibly too high and too far north to be seen in the field of vision of those in the cabin - - I would love to know if someone did and was thinking that then!). The color of these lights was not typical of the landing lights of any aircraft that I have seen - - they were the same color, hue and intensity of self illuminated stars or reflective sunlight on satellites. Although aircraft landing lights can and will often appear stationary, based on distance from, and the heading of, aircraft, such light inevitably moves or grows in intensity as it heads toward you. Landing lights are seen either coming toward you or from the side, but would not be seen heading heading away from you. My initial thought after knowing that these lights were not a normal part of the night sky for this part of the year was that they were satellites - - the major problem being that both of them did not move for several minutes but remained stationary. Their fade out took about 5 seconds and was gradual and simultaneous - - both my wife and I were flummoxed by what we saw. If you have any other questions, please feel free to e-mail or call me at ((END ADDENDUM))

Sitting here watching planes by MCO airport and what i thought was a bird at first stopped and hovered then i realized it was too high in the air and was reflecting the sunlight it changed directions a couple times and hovering like it was looking for something and when it moved, it made the airbuses to appear to be moving real slow, i took of my sunglasses for a better look but could barely see it without them, then it headed south and within 10 seconds, it was gone. There's not a cloud in the sky, and the airliners are not reflecting light, like this thing was. You can also see the moon out during the day today, there were about 3 planes at various heights during the event.

I was walking my dog when I saw a reddish orange ball rising above the trees. At first I thought it might be a rocket launch, but it didn't have a trail, and it didn't fade out of sight like launches do. As it was rising another one appeared and the first one disappeared. Then the second one was gone. Then another appeared and within a moment another one, they rose together, but not as high as the others and then they were gone. I kept watching for more but there were no more. There was no sound and the intensity of their color varied from reddish orange to red and back again. As they rose they did so at different speeds. They were not in formation. We on the coast are accustomed to launches, I've seen many over the past 33 years. These objects were like none I have ever seen.

On March 20, 2018, at 10:15pm, in Wellington, Florida, I was walking my dog in the neighborhood. As I looked up at the star filled sky toward the east, I noticed a red light sitting in one place almost straight up (1:00 o’clock setting). I watched the object for 10 minutes with no movement what so ever as planes flew high overhead and low overhead not far from Palm Beach International airport. This object was miles high and pulsing a red light every other second. Suddenly two red beams came out of the object east and west some hundred yards from the object but they traveled equidistant from the centered object and stopped. Then the light pulsed blue and the object moved over to the east a bit further, hovered for another 3 or 4 minutes and then just disappeared. No weather balloon does that type of movement nor does it send out a microburst of light side to side that stops. A helicopter cannot go that high, ever! There was no sound.

I went to go to my vehicle at about 8 30 at night. I'm always scanning the sky to look for local aircraft in the sky. Well to my surprise I looked off to the south and saw two RED balls one on top of the other.. by a decent amount.. yet too close for aircraft to be flying.. So this caught my attention.. as I looked up.. Neither seemed to be moving.. they both were IDLE in the sky... I found this rather weird... then next thing I know the BOTTOM red ball started going upwards.. I thought I was about to see a mid air collision of some type... Next thing I know the bottom ball disappeared into the TOP ball.. then only saw the TOP fire red ball.. then the top one remained for another few seconds only to disappear. Was very ODD! We spoke to the witness, and he seemed to us to be quite sincere and sober-minded. We suspect that he is a highly reliable witness. We have corrected the date above, to reflect a sighting in 2018, not 2019. PD

I was in my balcony of the house near University of Central Florida, I just lifted my head to see the jet hearing the jet noise, but then I also saw some other jet like flying object. It was moving faster than the jet, it was flashy seen at irregular pattern as it continued to fly. There was no trial left behind like jet.

As they started to get out of sight I jump in to my car to follow and after a few minutes of pursuit I lost sight, then a lone jet fighter came over slowly going in the same north easterly direction! Hmm! Later that day I reviewed my video I was recording and noticed only tiny specs that we never seen, because they where 10 times closer then what was found in recording!

On Sunday March 11th, 2018, a fairly bright light hovering in the sky caught my attention. Upon further inspection, I can make out a disk shape in the sky basically parked in place. I'm always looking up hoping to see UFO's but I'm a semi-skeptical person. So I stare at if for a while. My little brother is fairly close to me, he follows my gaze and then rolls his eyes and says "Izzy relax, its probably just a plane." To which I respond, "No David, look. See behind that thing? Moving slowly with the light? THATS a plane" and I point at a plane clearly visible much much farther BEHIND the object, moving slowly, and clearly identifiable by its blinking red navigation light. This proved two things. The object was definitely parked in place, and it was not an ordinary aircraft because although the sun has set at 7:36, it was around 7:45 at the time and it was still bright out. NOT bright enough for a normal aircraft to have its "brights" on. The airplane cruising in the far distance only had a faint plane-shaped figure with no other lights on other than its red blinking navigation lights. We both agree that this is weird, and as he continues to go on with his business (he was washing our mothers vehicle at the time of the incident). I decide to take out my phone and take a video of it. At this moment two things begin to happen. My mother comes out of her adobe and I point at the UFO and tell her "mom look, it has NOT moved" and as I say those words I notice that there has been a change in the object. The previously bright shining constant light emitted from the bottom of the aircraft has turned into a single light circling around and around the base of the aircraft. After a few cycles, the light sequence changes yet again, but this time it does a sequential light signal pointing in the direction it is about to zoom to. After five sequences it zooms at an impossible speed silently. Video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IIMh0mU6eI

I would not have believed my eyes, and attributed it to dirty sunglasses, but then my husband who was looking around as well looked up and entirely unprovoked said, "Do you see that?" It was then I knew we were observing something unusual. Moments later, they disappeared. I scanned the horizon left and right to see where they went, but there was no trace. I have a Master's degree, and my husband is also college educated. We work in professional, "corporate America" jobs. This was highly unusual and I felt warrants a report.

While walking our dog my fiancé noticed 6-7 small round lights flying in a perfect "V" formation. He said do you see that? And pointed above in the sky. I immediately noticed the perfect V formation of 6-7 perfect lights flying in precise formation. I thought it was a commercial airline, until I noticed there was no sound, and the speed was not normal. As I followed it, trying to get my camera/video recorder open on my phone, the formation changed. These lights were so close together and so symmetrical until they changed into a "Y." Unfortunately, I didn’t get my video or camera open in time, before they went behind a huge oak tree and disappeared. We obviously walked around in several directions trying to find them and we couldn’t. We both said if we had seen this alone we wouldn’t believe what we seen. We also live in a well lighted area actually a medium size city. We are also located by a decent size airport so we know that this was not normal to say the least! There was a airplane that was landing and passed very close. No way air traffic control would allow
