December 31, 2017 · 10:00 PM · FIREBALL
Jupiter, FL
I witnessed the first light and as I was watching it became brighter and then a second one appeared to the right. Ran inside to get my husband, when I came back out the second orange ball of light was quickly fading and the first one slowly faded away as well. It happened on new years eve, and there were fireworks, but these were not fireworks, they resembled more of a star. Possibly a flare, but the was no trail of light or smoke or anything.

Sarasota, FL
Moving southwest to northeast over SRQ, Sarasota Airport. Slow moving Orange orbs. No noise, very low to ground. Traveled in straight line. Some were side by side, rest in single file. Suddenly headed vertical into the cloud cover. Then out of sight. All identical in size and color. My first ever such experience. Truly amazing sight.

Davenport, FL
Around 8:30 pm my cousin and I went outside of our house to wait for a friend that was supposed to be pulling up. My cousin was holding onto a balloon filled with helium and she ended up letting go, so we both looked to the sky to watch it float away. While we were looking to the sky, west of where we were standing, we both saw a very bright orangey-yellow light flying upwards from behind a couple of trees. It wasn't very close, it seemed to be a few neighborhoods over, and we were just watching it fly up. An airplane was flying at the time and I am very familiar with airplane lights, so when my cousin assumed it was an airplane, I assured her that it was not. It was extremely bright and sort of round, so it could not have been an airplane. I only saw one, and in order to rationalize it, I thought that it could have been a paper lantern someone had lit and released into the air, that's how bright it was. However, it started getting higher in the sky and closer! to where my cousin and I were standing. If it was a paper lantern, in a couple of minutes it should have caught fire and burned up. The light started dimming and that's what I assumed it was doing under the paper-lantern theory, and then it disappeared. We were still out there waiting for the friend, and after the 3 minutes it spent in the sky, I noticed it started glowing again after disappearing. It regenerated in the same position in the sky that it disappeared. Witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate. PD
December 31, 2017 · 8:30 PM · CROSS
Fort Myers, FL
Moments later a second one came floating from the same direction across the sky until it reached virtually the same location and then vanished as well. It's path was more direct without stops and starts. We looked through the binoculars but could only make out a dark object shaped like a cross with a light on the top and bottom or triangle in which only one half was visible by the light on the craft.

Port Saint Lucie, FL
I have never seen anything like it. My husband did take a brief video of the last 3 lights. I am unsure if these were crafts that had lights on them or if they were just lights but I don't see how they could have been just lights due to the way they moved. They made no sound and they were not anything man made in that you would normally see in the sky.
December 27, 2017 · 9:30 PM · TRIANGLE
Fleming Island, FL
Triangular in shape, amber in color, slow moving (helicopter speed), no sound. Over a period of 10 minutes, I saw 16 of these moving from ~North to ~South. At one point there were eight in the sky above my house at once, the other eight trickled in after, one or two at a time.

North Miami Beach, FL
Extremely loud engine. But we could not see what it was. It was flying over us , made windows shake. Not a jet, helicopter, nor commercial plane. As it flew over us we still heard the engine roaring loudly away.

Ellenton, FL
Around 7 pm 3 bright gold sphere shaped objects appeared to the north of Ellenton, FL.. They were moving steady, but very slowly. They were in a triangle formation and after about 5 mins immediately disappeared. I tried to use my cell phone to record the event...but my phone froze and would not work. Upon their disappearance, my phone immediately worked fine.
December 23, 2017 · 7:30 PM · FIREBALL
Naples, FL
Approximately 7:30 p.m. I went on to my back porch and noticed a bright fireball in the sky getting closer to us. It was in the western sky. I called to my fiancee to come look and he witnessed it as well. It then changed direction and seemed to fizzle out and then completely disappear. It lasted under a minute. The fire ball got larger and seemed as if it was coming towards us.

Okeechobee, FL
Took my dog outside about 10:00 pm Friday, 12/22/17 and saw 2 very dark red bright objects in the dark sky coming toward me east to west. There was no sound at all even though they seemed to only be as high as a small plane might fly. Each seemed to have 4 large red lights that did not blink. The lights defined their shape, 2 behind 2 that almost touched. Could have been a square shape. One was a short distance from and a little ahead of the other, and not wavering from their path. I watched them fly overhead until out of sight and then saw 2 more coming from the same direction appearing very much like the first 2 and moving in the same path. There were a few stars out and also a plane flying north to south so high it was barely visible. It probably took 4-5 minutes for each pair to move from first sighting to out of sight. I found it amazing that there was no sound in the quiet night for such large objects. I retired after 27 years with the Okeechobee County Library System.
December 22, 2017 · 6:00 PM · SPHERE
Palm Bay, FL
Multiple videos available from 3 sources (all smartphones). Reddish orange sphere shot across sky and stopped in one spot remaining brightly lit (reddish orange) and remained on the spot for a few seconds before blinking out...a minute later it came back on at the same spot and proceeded to descend about an inch lower than where it was, then blinked off again, a few seconds later it blinked back on and made a silent arch towards the right and descended again about an inch and blinked off...we are still watching the skies as we speak. Totally silent, brighter than an aircraft and fluid in its movements, almost like what you can project with a laser pen. Object was far away, too far to be able to tell you for sure its distance. We saw it by two trees and knew it was right over the ocean.

Deer Park, FL
DEER PARK, FL. SIGHTING Account of Driver: ((name deleted)) At approximately 5:30 pm Est. on 12/17/2017 driving west on FL 192, I observed object in driving field of view, heading from North to South over highway in front of me. It was rectangular in shape, maybe 10 miles ahead over horizon. Traveling at speeds never witnessed, very hard to estimate. Possibly calculated 2000 mph? Object which was possibly sized comparison to Empire State building, was partically obscured by some type of liquid field, which made it blend into sky and clouds only to leave top left edge exposed in triangular shape (see diagram). Personally I was borderline traumatized by the sight! Interdimentional monolith slicing through time and space! Best description.

New Port Richey, FL
There was different dimensions to the triangle shape. Bright light in the front. Green light on one side and blue light on the other. It definitely was not an airplane or helicopter. I found it amazing how it just hovered.

Malabar, FL
Saw 2 large orange circle or globe like Things in the sky. They were side by side. We watched them for approx 5 minutes. It is a rural setting we shut off the vehicle But were unable to hear any sounds or see anything else around them which might explain what we saw.
