Kissimmee, FL
Around 6pm, me and my cousin saw something weird “falling from the sky”. We couldn’t realize what was, and then, he called my brother. It looked like a big fireball falling. We joked by saying that looked like a comet, but then, it started to turn completely. And the smoke that was following the fireball just stopped and the impression of “a fireball falling” changed into a “light Flying “. I recorded and photographed.

I was driving home on I-4 Westbound (opposite direction of Daytona/Cocoa/Cape Canaveral) when I saw what looked like a large yacht surrounded by a fireball falling from the sky. I spent several minutes watching it before I began recording what became a 10 minute long video of this object descending. During the course of the video, the object changed directions twice, maneuvering horizontally while continuing in a vertical descent, as if course-correcting to land. At first the object had a long what I would call a fire tail that moved with the object and was not left trailing in the sky as a NASA Space-shuttle or airplane would leave. However, as the object descended further, the tail became much shorter. I recorded the object until it disappeared behind some trees. Over the past couple of years I have searched online to see if anyone else saw it but have not found anything. I was driving down a main stretch of road with many cars but no one else appeared to notice it (typical in this area for people to be oblivious of their surroundings). I have taken screenshots of the video and will email them, I plan to save the video on to a thumb-drive and mail it in. Background: I have lived in Florida my entire life (over 25 years) and have witnessed many space shuttle launches and landings. I live in a tourist area so there are always planes and helicopters flying nearby so I see those often. My spouse is a military Veteran so both I and my spouse (who has seen the video) are familiar with most military aircraft and were unable to identify this object as any of the aforementioned aircrafts. I am a college graduate with a Business degree who is working on my MBA and am an Executive Director. My spouse is a Financial Manager who has resided in Florida for over 20 years.

I was driving Westbound on I-4 at about exit 62, when I looked at the sky and saw what at first glance looked like a comet or shooting star. I began staring at the object as it didn’t appear to be moving very fast all and almost looked as though it was descending from the Earth’s atmosphere. It looked like a fireball and left a type of fiery trail. After watching the object slowly descend for about 10 minutes I then decided to grab my phone and begin recording. I appeared to be the only one who noticed it as the other people in the cars around me appeared to be focused on other things (mostly their cell phones). I continued to watch the object while filming and saw it what I can only explain as course correct as it stop descending and slowly turned righ and then continued to again descending downward at what looked like a 90 degree angle. After the object had descended for what I cie we was about 15 minutes or so the fireball and trail disappeared and it just! looked like a glowing metallic oblong object. I filmed for about 10 minutes before completely losing sight of the object due to an apartment building blocking my view.

Madeira Beach, FL
There was heavy air traffic at the time as we are in the landing pattern of PIE, TIA and MacDill. By seeing the object and other air craft at the same time, gave a distinct comparison that the object was not commercial traffic and had to be military or something else. It also flew just west of a sky crane in Madeira Beach with the sky cranes red lights blinking and gave a distinct impression that the object was not commercial air traffic nor a sky crane. It appeared 4000 to 5000 feet in altitude and moved slowly to the south parallel to the beach. There was a coast guard C130 with its landing lights on turning back to the north (from the south) and landing at PIE and there was a coast guard SH60 helicopter flying behind the object. I could hear the helicopter loud and clear and could see all the lights on the helicopter giving a comparison of the size of each (helicopter and craft) object and speed. The C130 had all of its lights on as it prepared to land and gave a comparison of the size, speed and lack of noise coming from the object. The helicopter did not chase the object nor appeared to see it (it was about 5 miles behind the object). As the helicopter flew by and engines very loud and noticeable, again made the object stand out and confirm it was silent. The object never hovered but moved in a very slow and constant rate to the south.

About the around 12:30 to 1 at night I was looking to the south and saw two lights Converge on each other and spun around each other quickly and too close to be human operated and then split apart and stopped and Faded Away.

Panama City, FL
Tonight, traveling North to South was a slow moving fireball moving in a slow straight line. I happened to look up while standing outside with friends and family to see what appeared to be a fireball directly above us. It was a cloudy night and the apparent fireball was very visible below the cloud deck. There was no sound heard at all during this event. I was able to capture a cell phone video approximately 30 seconds long before it flickered slightly and then completely faded out. It did not travel out of viewing distance, it simply stopped and vanished. What we witnessed tonight was completely unexplainable and unlike anything any of us had ever seen before.

I see these every few days because I watch the planes flying by as I sit outside. This was a bright globe that appeared miles above the planes of which I saw 3 to 4 planes around 10 to 20k ft. This globe appeared miles above them with a bright flash then like a whip shot across from west to east making no sound then disappeared. The shear speed was faster than anything we could’ve produced. No rockets no 3D image nothing could’ve replicated this speed. White orb shooting as if a short pulse on its way through dimensions.

Coral Gables, FL
I was standing on the University Metrorail stop, waiting for my train home. Upon staring in the distance I noticed three orbs of orange light hovering above the suburbian houses. They were defeinitly too high up to be drones and too stationary to be airplanes. I noticed one of them moving at a slow rate, it had white lights on the sides that seemed to be flashing. After seeing numerous videos of these orbs, I can confirm that they were the same as the ones on YouTube and other video sharing platforms. I am not sure but in the distance I could see small sparks flying off of one of them.

Shortly after she points in front of us (East), over an anchored ship another light that was red, blue and white changing colors and shapes. This one was different not only because of the changing colors and shapes but this one had a very erratic movement. It wasn't stationary not moving in a certain direction. It would do small erratic movements in almost every direction with occasional drops in altitude. No conventional aircraft to my knowledge could have performed these movements that, being that high in the air, would equal to 50-100 foot instantaneous movements. At one point we witnessed a light, almost like a strobe or lighting very near where we were sitting and my friend said she felt a presence and it was eerie so we decided to head back to our car. As we walked we kept tracking the object that seemed to move North with us as we walked since it wasn't hovering over the ship anymore (that was our marker). We stopped one last time to observe it and to confirm with each other that we were seeing the same thing and, sure enough, it was directly East of us at this point a half mile walk from our original position. It continued to do the same erratic movements and even reacting to passing aircraft. We left and were not able to see the object again.

I was out on my front porch around 8:24 pm, and just happened to look up above my place and saw what looked like 2 bright stars in the sky in a line formation. I watched for maybe 2 mins as they moved very slow, and then gradually disappeared in the night sky. They were moving towards the East from the direction I was sitting.

Orlando, FL
At about 7:20, as I left my apartment, I noticed a light in the western sky. I thought it was maybe the headlight of a helicopter, but then 2 more appeared, almost in formation and then 4 or 5 more but not in formation. Eventually, there were about 50 or more white light objects. From where I lived, they were low near the horizon traveling from 1 o'clock to 9'o'clock, traveling in a south east direction. I never saw anything like it. They flew about the speed of a landing aircraft, neither very fast or very slow. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Dear Mr. Davenport Hi Mr. Davenport, I have received your email and would like to say Thank You to you and your tireless and dedication in doing these reporting. Look like humans are so far behind in this universe and if I think lightly it is kind of exciting but if I think deeper, it is so dreadful. Respectfully, ((END ADDENDUM))

We were at the Halloween horror theme park, Scream-a-geddon, waiting in line for the hayride. I looked up into the trees, and saw two “airplanes” flying close to each other, side by side. It was an odd way to be flying so close, so I took notice. I told my husband to look how close they were, and as he watched, they moved from. Ext to each other to over top of each other. They were silent, and not helicopters. As me and my husband watched, trying to figure them out, we noticed the lighting was way different than airplanes. It wasn’t blinking, it was flashing consstantky, with colors. Like red, yellow, white, red, yellow, white... in a cir Jose formation, not a blinking red light, like a plane. They slowed down once they moved in the vertical formation, and disappeared behind the trees. I can’t stop thinking about them, they were silent, ave

Cape Coral, FL
My friend pointed to the low sky above us, “What is that?” He didn’t have his glasses on. A large heron? No it was gliding, low and quietly. I had to re-adjust my focus for it not to seemingly shapeshift. It was dimly lit with 6 large circular, effervescent lights. “That is a craft- a UFO” It felt far away yet very low. No size description adequately captures it. It did not carry an ominous vibe, a silent observer. It made me feel grounded. We ran around to the front of the house, it had gone. I asked him to draw what he saw, He drew a boomerang shape and said it had a soft green glow. I drew mine, a chevron with 6 lights. We both have never seen a UFO before.

We were standing on our patio between 21:15-21:30 last night. We saw a blue-green moving across the sky from east southeast to west southwest. The sky was clear. There were 2 airplanes visible in the sky at the time, which is normal, since we live close to NAS-JAX. The object looked very similar to a bright star, but slightly larger and brighter. It did not blink and did not appear to twinkle at all. It was larger and brighter than any stars visible at the time. I would estimate that from our point of view, it appeared similar in size and brightness to the north star. We did not hear any sound. It moved very quickly but did appear to slow down for a few seconds one time before resuming its previous speed. The object stayed on the same path making no turns for the full time it was in view. We were able to see the object very clearly from the time it appeared on the horizon to our east all the way through its path to the western horizon, until it became too faint in the distance. We have a lot of military and civilian aircraft traffic in our area and are very aware of how they behave in the sky. Any aircraft that was close enough for its lights to appear this size and brightness would have been very easy to hear. The speed of the object could not be matched by any of the fighter jets that we commonly see. Any aircraft capable of this speed would not have been silent if it were flying low enough, and close enough, to appear this size in she night sky. There were no additional lights as would be expected on a plane or helicopter either. An object with this speed and brightness flying high enough to be inaudible would have to be absolutely massive. I thought it may have been the International Space Station but that was supposedly only visible during a 2 minute window over 2 hrs. before this sighting and would have been moving in the opposite direction according to the NASA website.

Letting dogs out, looked skyward to try and observe Uranus. Instead saw a very dim pattern of 4 white lights in a diamond formation. The lights were moving SSE at a high rate of speed. There was no noise associated with this sighting. The lights were not flashing and seemed to be at a high altitude.

My friend, husband, and I were outside talking, when I noticed a red flickering light. I ran inside to get my husbands phone and recorded some amazing activity. The lights move very fast appear in one place a reappear a second later somewhere else as if the lights were playing with each other or dancing. It was an incredible experience. I seen one move very low as if It was landing . a larger yellowish light that was not flashing appeared to be getting very close like it was falling from the sky then suddenly turned

Cape Coral, FL
Twice this morning, I’ve seen an orange flickering light moving under clouds slowly at distance over Cape Coral. At times it disappeared, and then reappeared on the same path. No FAA lights, just a rapidly flickering orange. It seemed to be on the same course each pass, but the second pass was lower. It was moving from east to west each time. I first saw it just after 7:00 am, and then again at 7:28 am. I thought it rather unusual.
