Lehigh Acres, FL
Notice three strobe like lights in sky,it seems to be a bit higher than the tree line, maybe a bit higher. They seemed to go past us like a helicopter or something of the like. Notice the light is still visible as if it slowed to our pace. We decided to follow in our vehicle. After following for about a minute, we stopped the truck and noticed it was still the same distance from us as a few moments before. It seemed to stop as we stopped. A car turned down the street and then it just vanished. We have 2 videos one of which shows an orange light a second above our vehicle. We had also observed a strange animal on the road a few minutes before this all happened. Sort of like a monkey, it was on all fours, and stood up and ran on 2 legs. however there is a monkey farm not too far from that location.

No hurry what so ever. No lights no sound. Just gliding, taking its time. I could not believe it. It was closer than I would have expected for such huuuge item. From where I was located it was like looking half the empire state building moving like from Bryant Park. Huge. Distance from me: As when the airplanes take off MCO and start directing their flights to destination. No too high. (This event took place in Down Town Orlando - East side very, very close to MCO which makes it even more amazing) we call it Sodo. It was grey - silver not shiny but not opaque neither. Not gun metal silver, but not shiny silver. It was like a dark shiny grey from with in. It went perpendicular to earth. Sorry no pictures. Walking three dogs. Soooo very sad.

Tampa, FL
I was driving across the Gandy Bridge heading towards Tampa, when I saw a long green light traveling in a diagonal moving towards the Tampa side and then it just disappears like turning off a light. It was green and cigar is shape. I could not tell size or distance and I'm really good at that. Former land surveyor.

After hurricane Irma we lost power and had a generator running for the 2nd night in a row. The windows were wide open and the blinds all the way open. I could easily see outside. At 3:30 in the morning. I noticed a white glow then an orb ascend towards the sky. It was about 100 feet from where i observed this. My wife saw the same thing the following night but much closer. No sound from the orb. Similar to the sighting in Lee County.

Lee, FL
Letting dogs out at approx. 10:30 pm; power was out on property due to Hurricane Irma. Two generators were running on property. 2 lights appeared at about tree height, approximately 100' away. They moved around and left zig-zag white trailers behind them. After a couple of minutes, a third light came down from the sky from the south of where standing. The third light zoomed over to where the other two lights were located and remained in that area. All three stopped motion; it appeared that the three lights were communicating in some way. Became afraid and returned inside.

Longwood, FL
I took a picture of the night sky. When I looked at it 2 days later on the computer screen I noticed a laser like beam in the pic. Closer up, I noticed a Long Triangle shape craft in front of the beam. Probably some cool military craft, it had no lights in it. Planes get in my night shots all the time. This was different. My friend suggested I contact you. I am just curious what it is. Even it its just a satellite that would be cool. I just like taking pictures of the stars. But, things like this strike my curiosity.

I went inside and had my daughter come out to watch. As it traveled across the sky (it was as bright as a flame) it got further away and then all at once it disappeared.

Orlando, FL
On the night of September 9, 2017, around the evening hours of 8-9, I went to take a photo of an eerie moon peaking and hiding behind clouds. It was a calm breezy evening, basically the calm before the storm. When I took the photo, it was the night before the great hurricane Irma. Central Florida (East Orlando) where the photo took place was forecasted to be hit pretty bad by the hurricane on September 10, 2017, in the am hours into Monday morning September 11, 2017. The photo I took the evening of September 9 showed an eerie moon and a bright light right above the moon in the sky. When I took a picture of the moon with my cell phone camera I noticed the bright light above the moon. Living North of OIA Orlando International Airport, I see actual planes or helicopters all the time and this image did not look like anything I could identify in normalcy. As you zoom into the picture the bright light has almost a mushroom shape on top. Interestingly, the area of Central Florida where I live was supposed to be pummeled by the storm, but fortunately my neighborhood and the adjacent neighborhood had minimal damage. Some downed trees and general debris from wind. It almost seemed that what I saw that evening in the picture (possible UFO), contributed some how to lessened damage within the radius of where the object could be seen in relation to the hurricane. I will attach the image with this statement. I'm a Psychology Graduate, and my husband is an Electrical Engineer.

I saw a few strange orange lights outside my window. I live near Orlando International Airport so several planes fly overhead every hour, these lights did not look at all like planes or helicopters. A plane will have a red light on the left wingtip, a green light on the right wingtip, and a strobe light in the center. This was a solid orange light, there were several of them traveling from East to West, and they appeared to be at relatively low altitude. There were also planes in the sky at the time and these lights were drastically different, they sort of looked like flares but were traveling completely horizontally. When one passed particularly close I thought it sounded like a rocket engine but it could have been the sound of a jet passing overhead. A buddy of mine saw them outside his house about 15 minutes later; he lives nearby and also saw the orange lights traveling horizontally East to West. Video: https://youtu.be/n251RhdLho8

Also noticed lots of aircraft activity around them, but they were much higher in the air crafts. We have assigned an arbitrary time above. PD

Cape Coral, FL
Two sets of orange/reddish light moving steadily in unison westward in the southern sky. Idk heights by I'd say around the height of regular commercial planes. The moment I noticed how each pair moved in unison it appeared maybe they were all a part of one large object. Can't say for sure. Kinda creepy to witness these things first hand

while sitting on front deck looking south at 180 degrees of the night sky. A glowing blue object passed from northeast to southwest towards direction of ft lauderdale airport. i would say very low maybe 200 feet, at a speed thats not posible this close to the ground. the blue glow lasted at most three seconds. Some object went over my head with no sound and no air disturbance. Witness indicates that the date above is approximate. PD

Treasure Island, FL
Suddenly, all lights turned out and the giant white light turned directly at us and you could follow the path of light straight out from our beach house. It got even brighter and then disappeared for about 30 seconds. At this time, my cat ran out of my house and down onto the beach and was fixated on the lights. All the lights came back on, but this time they were vertically stacked like a tower and moving all over. Instantly, my cat ran very quickly back into the house and under a bed. A few minutes later, the lights turned out again and this time about 20 seconds later, turned back on but they had moved from where they were and now sat about a mile to the south of where they just were 20 seconds earlier. We reported it on the non emergency line of treasure island police dept. 2 officers responded and drove on the beach. They stopped immediately when they saw it and called me back to inform me that they see it, and aren't sure what it may be. They said the coast guard does training off shore sometimes but they normally are made aware in advance so they can field calls, like the call I made. The officer stated that they had not been made aware of any training exercise tonight and would try and figure out what it is. All of a sudden, the entire object and lights vanished. Not a trace in sight. As soon as they disappeared, both officers immediately turned their vehicles around and left the area and wouldn't stop to talk to my husband, who tried waving them down. Something very strange just happened, and no one seems to know exactly what this was.

Saw a dark grey saucer shaped craft move in close to a drone that was flying. Then backed away toward the east. Then came back toward the west. It had absolutely no sound or lighting.

My kids and I were watching the eclipse. Taking photos and looking through proper glasses. We made a joke about a ufo that kept showing up in the sky. Moved fast from side to side and up and down. I took about 35 pictures and the object we saw is in each photo it also is in many different spots. The photos themselves were taken from the same area. Facing the same direction. Meanwhile, my 4 dogs where barking and howling much differently then they normally would

Hi Peter, We spoke briefly last week and you asked me to send over a email so here it is. I went and took your advice and uploaded a bunch of videos and made a youtube page so here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzXmN_nmfoPcmPrqw38QN4A So on the morning of aug 21st i was awoke around 430am and thought it was to early to let the dogs out (i usually wake up around 630am to do this) and the next think i knew i was at my front window peeping out and my phone starts ringing from a strange number and kept making my phone light up. i did not answer given the time but then when i checked my phone later after i remembered (it was all a blur) the numbers were no longer in my missed calls. So after the call thing the next thing i remember is standing at my back door about to let the dos out. I noticed the light across the lake doing things it I’ve never noticed (I’ve lived here for 4 years) and when i asked my buddy who lives next door to him he said the guy doesn’t even have a light and that it is a reflector. Anyways, i took my camera out and you will be able to see the light across the lake start acting crazy. after a while i noticed something in the sky that looked like a triangle inside of some kind of bubble jumping all over the place. When i looked around i noticed another bright light in the sky to the left of this object that would get bright as well and when i filmed it, it was a circle with a bright light around the edge all the way around. i knoticed the reflection in the lake start to get bigger and smaller and it was pitch black out. i got closer to the lake and at first i thought the lake was being drained cause it looked like there were walk ways throughout the lake and sounded like there was something or someone in there. i focused back on the reflection and thought i saw things heading into the light. then when i looked back up at the spinning triangle i noticed what looked like a space ship rising straight up toward the spinning triangle, come to a complete stop for a few seconds and then precede toward the other bright light (with the light around the whole circle) and stop just under it. when the sun came up i looked in the lake and all the grass on the inside of t! he lake was matted down like a crop circle would look. it was not like that the day before. the grass looks really clean and like you would see on a golf course green but on the inside of the lake. i also noticed what looked to be some kind of chemical on the surface that wasn’t there before either. Im not sure what any of this is or means but in the moment it felt like there was something being hidden in the lake and possibly some kind of moving objects going into the light but not coming back out. A transport of some kind maybe or just nothing at all. yesterday 8-27-17 we had a storm rolling through. i know clouds change shapes and all that but i don’t know if i was just seeing things or making my mind believe i was seeing things but i had the thought that there was things being trasported like machines, planes, sips etc behind these dark clouds. it looked like at one point some kind of sea creatures up there. again this could be nothing at all but would like some feedback on my first part of this email. Also feel free to share my youtube page and videos. thanks again.

At the end of the Eclipse, I shot these pictures with my Samsung Galaxy Note 5. I was sitting in my SUV and held my phone out of the driver side window. I did not notice anything strange, I was not looking at the sun when I shot these photos. I just looked at them to show my wife and noticed the green oval. It is not in my lens I took the bird picture right after I took the sun shots. I don't know what the green oval is.
