I saw a round bright bright green light fall from the sky straight to the ground faster than I've ever seen anything fly. Like it was landing, but faster than I thought a landing could be psosible. It only lasted one to two seconds.

Cape Coral, FL
Our UFO sighting 12/12/17 At approximately 7 pm last night at our Western Cape Coral, FL, home my wife and I observed bright orange lights in the nights sky. These lights where moving from west to east in direction and passed one at a time for perhaps 45 minutes each taking perhaps 3 minutes to travel seemingly constant altitude arcing over from the eastern horizon (approx 10 miles to the tree line from our vantage point) to east of us, and then disappearing before reaching the trees to our eastern horizon. We didn’t count the number of objects but to say 25 would be a good guess. No sound was heard and the usual commercial air traffic was observed well above and out in the distance. The objects speed seemed the same for all and it was hard to determine if the objects where big and very far away or smaller and close. What we saw looked to be about 4 times the size of the stars in the sky and much, much brighter. The only formation observed was that they where in single file. Not evenly spaced either. We might see one alone then two or three in quick recession and again nothing for a few minutes before another would seemingly illuminate at the western horizon much brighter then other lights. Witness provides no contact information. PD

At 20:00 hrs on December 11, 2017 walking to my condo in Pine Valley, New Smyrna Beach, with my wife, we saw several orange coloured objects in the sky moving together in a south easterly direction. I would say there would have been about a dozen of these objects. One of them seemed to us to descend rapidly to earth.

I was in attendance with fiends at a private function in Miami the evening of December 6. I was aboard the Nobel House, a 50 meter yacht hired for the event celebrating Miami Art Basel. At approximate 11:00 - 11:30 PM I was on the third deck of the yacht and noted what I thought would be terrific photo of an American flag atop the harbormaster’s office. I raised my phone to take a few photos of the flag. I noticed in my phone a white object in the distance that was moving both quickly and abruptly. I was puzzled because I could not see the light when looking into the sky directly, but could only evidence it looking through my iPhone. I decided to videotape what to me was stunningly strange event. With the surreal party music from the event behind me, and the object far ahead in the distance I captured approximately 10-15 seconds of the moving object before it shot off into darkness. Feeling somewhat overwhelmed by the visual experience, I shared my phone with two friends-both accomplished pilots of many years. Both pilots shared my surprise and uncertainty, and had no explanation of the nature of the sighting. The only comment that was additive to the experience was from one friend who said, when observing my video, that the light appeared very far off in the distance. It certainly seemed that way to me. CNN aired a report tonight speaking to new revelations about a government program researching UFOs. Watching the report, I went back to my video and then, for the first time, went to my still photo of the object. When I enhance the photo on the screen of my phone, it appears as if it’s a rounded diamond shape, with light emoting around it -similar, say, to a high school science book’s rendition of a neutron, only instead of a circle in the center this looked more diamond-esq. I have no idea if this was a byproduct of my phone’s lense system, but there seems to be no immediate plausible explanation given my phone (a new iPhone 8) operates perfectly, and the experience hasn’t replicated itself. What’s most interesting to me about the whole bit, is that I couldn’t see the light when looking into the sky. It was only through the lens of my cell phone. I’m a liberal arts major, not a science or math guy-so I have no idea what this was and look forward to any thoughts or observations that you might provide.

Me and my mother were in the car and from the stop light on the road on Indian St. we could see in the distance something big falling from the sky, it had yellow, red, green lights and there was a tail behind it, it seemed pretty big even though it was probably 8 miles away from us. I think it was an asteroid but...there was some green light so..? I don't know what it was. It seemed like it exploded in midair. It was way too big to be a firework, and there was NO sound.

I saw a ball of light appear in the dark sky above the bayfront. Possibly from behind a cloud, though I don't think so, or from nowhere. A trail of light appeared behind it, and it seemed to vanish.

Fort Myers, FL
While walking the dogs, we noticed this very bright star like light in the southwest sky. It was bright with alternate colors of red, blue and yellow that seemed to flash around it. I first wrote it off as an airliner, but it wasn't moving. Stayed stationary in the sky for the hour we watched it. Doesn't look like a star at all. We suspect the witnesses may have been looking at a "twinkling" star. PD

Hovered and flew above driving traffic on highway 60 oval/round in shape flew over tree lines then out of sight. The blinking lights were electric blue in color and were so bright they glowed into my vehicle making everything with a blue tint to it. They were on what looked like the bottom of the craft.

Another Lunar Fast Walker? While observing the moon last night with a three inch (80 x 900 mm) refractor, I saw a black, star-shaped object transiting through the eyepiece field of view at approximately 17:57, EDT. [Please see the attached diagram for more details.] I was observing the Aristarchus - Herodotus area of the moon--near the lunar terminator at this time--with a star diagonal and a magnification of 144X . The waxing gibbous moon was rising in deep twilight, and seeing was excellent. At the time of the sighting, I had just switched to a 12 mm eyepiece with a 2X Barlow, and just as I was coming to focus with this combination I glimpsed a black, five-pointed, star-shaped object transiting from right to left through the eyepiece field of view (FOV). All of this happened very fast--probably in less than 1 second--and my impression is that when I first saw the object it had already begun to cross the FOV, and I was only able to observe it as it moved toward the left side of the image. Again, please see the associated diagram for more details. Note that since I was using a star diagonal which gives a mirror-reversed image, the object was actually moving from east to west--the opposite of what is shown in the eyepiece view. As a point of interest, this is actually the second of these objects that I have seen while observing the moon. The earlier observation took place on June 23, 2016, and there is a report on file with NUFORC. As memory serves--and going back to my earlier report to confirm my recollection--this is exactly the same type of object that I observed last year, and moving in the same east to west direction. As I am at best a "casual" (as opposed to a systematic) observer of the moon, I am wondering about the reported frequency of sightings of objects of this type. Given that I have now seen two of these within the space of a year and a half, it would seem to me that others must also be seeing them. But what is it, exactly, that I and presumably others are seeing? ((name deleted)) Jacksonville, FL

On 11/27/2017 at around 5:40AM, I took my dogs out back, so that they can go. I looked up to the sky, as I always do, and it was beautiful. There were very little clouds and the stars could be vividly seen. Suddenly, I realized one of the stars in the distance appeared to be moving from west to east. I thought it was a comet, but there wasn't any trail behind it. Moreover, this star/light move very fast. I didn't want my wife to think that I was telling stories so I called her to see for herself. By the time she came outside, the star was moving towards the east. I pointed my spot light to the sky to who my wife what I was looking at looking at. Immediately, she thought it was a "shooting star" until another star began to move int he opposite direction towards to west, at the same high velocity. I don't think they were commercial planes, because we see them all the time. In fact, there was a plane passing by while the other star moved to the east, and it was much slower, with flashing lights. The incident lasted for about five minutes. So, my question is; was the Military (macdill AFB), conducting any experiments in the skill this morning? If so, do we have aircraft that is capable of such high speeds and able to fly at such high altitudes? Note: This is not the first time, I am seeing this phenomena in that part of the sky; this is the first time I had someone else, my wife, to witness it with me. Could there be a logical explanation for this? I'm sure it is going to happen again. If it does, I will take recording of it. Witness provides no information; elects to remain anonymous. Hoax?? PD

The three of us were playing Freeze Tag among other outdoor games while our families remained indoors during a party. One of us pointed out a cluster of maybe 10 red lights among a couple of white lights near the star Polaris. I thought it was a really clear night and we were looking at the constellation of the little dipper. We thought the little dipper had red stars...until they started moving. The red lights flickered and moved around each other, as if they were weaving between themselves. After about two minutes, we noticed that there was one cluster of red stars. It was like a circle of four, very tight knit red lights. This cluster moved over Polaris, and we were absolutely shocked that it blocked the star. All the red lights began to move towards each other, towards this cluster. The friend that noticed the red lights ran indoors to retrieve his phone to take a picture, and I tried shouting to him to come back; something weird was occuring. Within ten seconds of our friend being gone, every red light added on to the cluster, creating a sort of 'pinecone' of red lights. They were together, but you could clearly see that there was a black line or space between each light. It was ovular, being thinner at the top and thicker in the middle. Two or three lights in this pinecone of red light would flash white before turning back to red. Most of the lights flashed eventually, some did not. Our friend ran back outside and exclaimed in fear, we were all excited and scared at the events unfolding before our eyes. The red craft moved suddenly down, further and further until it was nearly out of view behind a neighbor's house. As the craft moved further down, it caught on fire at the bottom as it entered the Earth's atmosphere. It couldn't have been a weather balloon or asteroid, nothing we thought of convinced us; rational explanations didn't sound convincing. The craft then practically disintegrated in nearly 20, if not more, red lights that seemed to fall. We ran backwards as they continued to fall and turn white. The lights then disappeared.

5 very bright lights moving slowly in formation to the southwest. The leading two moved slowly closer together. After about 1-2 minutes the leading two light faded away extremely quickly (in about ½ second) and the remaining lights followed.

So I told my husband I thought it was going pretty fast and I asked him to stay in the driveway for a moment while I was watching it. All of a sudden it looked like a huge metal ball came out of it into that smoke trail then within 5 seconds they both disappeared, just totally vanished. I looked all around the sky for quite a long time and could not find a thing up there. I don’t have a clue what that could have been, but I wish I would have gotten my phone out to video it, didn’t even think about that. I also wish my husband would have seen it too but he never cares about those kind of things. I hope I’m not the only one in Florida or anywhere that saw what I saw. The object (ball) that seemed to have come out of the craft was round and silver and Black, no lights on either one. It

2 of us were walking and playing with our dogs, when we both suddenly noticed these lights in the western sky. They were reddish orange, and very bright. They were way above the tree line in an open area above the golf course. We took pictures with our phones, after a few seconds of watching, and called out to neighbors to come see. The lights suddenly went out as if they were just turned off. One of the lights seemed to have a slight spin to it. They appeared to be like a constellation of stars, except they were oval. I am a 72 year old grandmother, college educated and active in my community. My neighbor is a 27 year old student who lives at home with his mother and young sister.

Jensen Beach, FL
It was a very bright light & very high up. At the same time an airplane passed below that was also high but not as high as this was. It was travel from the west heading East toward the ocean at a good steady speed. When all of a sudden it darted South and upward out of sight. Satellite re-entry?? PD

latest was 21 nov night, I saw a bright star out of place...or maybe I felt it I don't know...strange feeling... I was afraid, I know the feeling, like goosebumps, electric feeling in spine.Hard to remember. Always the same, fuzzy memories, like waking from a hangover. woke up with pain in ear, strange smell like ammonia. It's hard to explain. I always thought it was a dream, nightmare. Last year I got a dog to help, he pissed the floor and bit me when I touched him in morning. This has gone on as long as I can remember but now I know it is not a dream. Need to know if I can kill it. I don't know what it is but nothing has ever made me so afraid, I'm sure it does not mean me well. I am a combat veteran who served with the 82nd airborne in Iraq 03-04 and do not scare easily. I had a memory come back to me a few years ago of one in my room, only time I can recall seeing it, small dark thin, it knew I saw it and I blacked out. I don't know if I'm repressing the memories or if I'm bat shit. It is almost painful to try to remember and normally give up and go about my life. Lately, I wake up with bruises, cuts, rashes...allergic reactions. At this point I am going to try to kill them, set traps and sleep with dog and gun. I wish I could put more in here, but it's like i'm in a fog when I try. Please help me to understand what is happening. And do you know if anyone has had success defending themselves and if so how. Thanks ((name deleted))

Haines City, FL
I was heading south on US-27 a few traffic lights before the orange factory in Haines City. It was roughly around 19:00 so the sky was pretty dark. I was stopped at a stop light and noticed what looked like a red smudge in the sky, almost like if you were to dip your thumb in maroon-colored paint, stick it on a piece of paper, and pull downwards about an inch. I noticed this smudge directly above my steering wheel, almost near the top of my windshield. I thought that was odd so I stared at it for the duration of my time stopped at the light. I called my wife, who was in the car behind me, and asked if she saw it too. She verified that she did see it and said that she would call me back because she was on the other line. The light finally turned green, and as I continued driving southbound, this red smudge had a blue light slowly manifest itself directly behind the smudge, close enough that it looked as if the light and the smudge were touching. After this blue light fully manifested, the smudge started moving west in the sky with the blue light getting brighter and brighter behind it and eventually forming two white lights with one both above and below the centered blue light. This happened over a period of 10-15 seconds. When the smudge stopped, it ended almost directly centered on the windshield in front of the passenger seat. As this smudge stopped, the smudge started to change color and shape. The smudge started turning from the smudge into a white, straight line perfectly vertical in the sky – the lights were still behind it, just not as bright as when it was moving. After a few seconds, I watched this now straight line turn into an oval shape that was similar in shape to what you see planets orbit lines look like in books and online. When this oval shape was fully formed, I watched it disperse into HUNDREDS of different colored lights. The weird thing was that these lights, mostly red, green, white, and blue, followed that same oval path that they dispersed from. Over the next couple minutes, I watched these lights start to spiral, similar to how tornadoes are shaped – thick at the top, but starts to taper towards the bottom – all spinning and eventually falling below the tree line. As I continued watching, the thick top mass of lights did, in fact, start to get closer and closer to the top of the tree line. I watched this event until it completely disappeared behind the tree line on the west side of US-27 just near W. Polk Ave. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD
