My first sighting was on 1/18, around 8pm to walk my dogs, I saw a star bright light to the West of my home. I thought it was the North star, I watched it as it flickered from bright to dim. At 10pm I went back out and it was gone. I thought nothing of it. 1/19 -8:45 pm – I went outside to walk the dogs again, same light star bright flickering in the same spot, it was bright, then dim, to dull with a hue, I went and got my cell phone to take a picture after 3 photos, my phone went dead, shut off. I went to get the binoculars and my sister to see what she thinks. Thru the naked eye you really didn’t see much movement, it looked like it was moving but the light was so bright moving in and out, you were memorized. But thru the binoculars, we saw red/orange like fire, it rotated, zig zagged, with several bright lights, moving top to bottom, circular motions, around 9:30pm it disappeared slowly to the South West. We suspect a sighting of Venus or Sirius. PD

First seen the orbs on the back porch, they were a soft off white light, when they would move, they'd then become red. When seen, they'd turn off their lights, but still flash red and leave. 3 of them were in a triangle formation, when seen, they turned off their lights and dispersed. Tried to film one that was blinking red, but it turned green and started to follow me

My friend was getting into his car at around 8:30-9:00pm, when he noticed something flying in the air. He called me over and pointed toward the object he was watching and my eyes immediately fixated on it. The object was very high in the sky and I live near the Fort Lauderdale airport so I know most aircrafts do not reach those altitudes when preparing to land or even after taking off. Most airplanes I am familiar with never reach altitudes past 60,000 feet but the object had to have been up at least 100,000 feet. The UFO appeared as a seemingly small, circular, reddish dot in the sky, it did not flash or glow. It was traveling at relatively high speeds but that was the least interesting thing about it. After we stood watching it for almost a minute, I pulled out my phone in an attempt to get real footage of what we witnessed. I had an iPhone 6s Plus and the quality of the camera along with the height of the UFO made it impossible to capture due to the time ! of night. (This has made me into more of a believer than before knowing that even modern day technology is barely capable of capturing something so astonishingly high in the sky.) It made no audible sounds possibly because of its altitude. We watched the object continue across the sky until we noticed another exactly similar one! They were flying towards each other until they got very close to one another. I knew this was beyond human capability, because one UFO (the second one to be spotted) came to an abrupt stop. The UFO we originally seen continued on after they had crossed paths for approximately 5-10 seconds. We watched in amazement and curiosity as the second UFO stopped moving as if it had spotted us! It shot a white, star-colored dust into the air which dissipated very quickly, which after deep thought, we believe to be a thruster of some sort because the second UFO vanished moments later. In total, we witnessed about 2 minutes of seemingly unexplainable activity happening thousands of feet above us. My only dream now is to make contact with those potential life forms as I find humans intolerant or ignorant to the concept of extraterrestrial life inhospitable. Please do not take this as a joke, there is clear, consistent evidence of extraterritorial contact being covered up by governments around the world. If there is any way I could assist the NUFORC or MUFON team in proving other-worldly existence, please reach out to me! Source of report indicates that the date is approximate. PD

((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Definitely too low to be a jet, it was close enough that me and my 23 yr old son could see the flame flickering and to be exact, it literally passed right under the brightest night star (Venus) before it went to a constant red light then it almost seemed as if it went so far up and out that it disappeared. Thank you for writing back so quickly, i appreciate it. ((END ADDENDUM))

Bright irregular shaped, bright light visible in the S W sky. I was driving west on hey 192, the low, white light was not moving. It was still very light as it was approximately 5:30 pm. It was irregular in shape leaning toward anjagged oval. It was not a plane or star it was large and sat there as long as I drove, then stopped to watch it for over 30 min. It was still visible when I stopped watching. I would like to learn what it was.

It is 7:20 PM the flashing red lights in a triangular position went from the northeast to Southwest. They were traveling quickly and the lights were dissipating slowly across the sky as they traveled. First time this has been seen here or first time we observed them

It was a clear sky. Object was the size of a Cessna plane and flew 200ft up. We noticed it as I was driving on US 19 SB approaching alternate 19 to turn right. Before I turned I got a good look at it. It looked ominous and had no solid red or green FAA light. It had 1 bright red light that pulsed up and down and I saw 3 tiny red lights in a row on the edge of the craft. As I made the turn and drove away from US 19 on Alt 19, it flew by again was a little higher up and I lost sight of it driving.

Ponce Inlet, FL
I have never filed a report of this nature before, but I can't ignore what I saw so here goes: I live directly on the coast, so in anticipation of last night's full moon, I settled myself on an outdoor bench that faces due east and overlooks the Atlantic ocean. The night sky was crystal clear and even with the full moon, the stars were bright as ever. Roughly 30 minutes into my moon watch, I noticed something "gliding" north to south fairly low overhead. The light configuration was odd in that there two steady white lights spaced slightly apart with a third whitish-green light between them that seemed to pulse slightly somehow, as opposed to a blinking light on a standard aircraft. In fact, there were no blinking lights anywhere on this object that I could see. And it made no sound whatsoever. As I was watching this object move further south, two larger (or lower) orange round objects moving in tandem, each with what looked like yellow and orange light striations coming up from them at an angle, also slid by overhead moving north to south and completely silent. The first object turned slightly south eastward and began to head slowly out over the ocean. At this point, I was still trying to believe that this was an aircraft of some sort, but the object stopped suddenly out over the water and became fixed in the sky where it also appeared to progressively become brighter and brighter until I noticed what looked like colors mixing in with the original bright white light. I just kept staring at this thing, trying to come up with a "logical" explanation for what it could be. After 10 minutes or so, I took a chance and ran up to my house to grab my binoculars; I was afraid that the object would disappear if I took my eyes off of it. But when I got back down to my bench, it was still there and I was able to see it clearly and with great detail through the binoculars. I still can't find the right words to describe the colors I saw on/in/around the object. They possessed a brilliance and clarity and purity like I've never seen. They were not flashing, but rather pulsating and shifting somehow. Red, green, blue, white, violet... There were no shafts or beams striking out from the object. The colors were cohesive and unified, forming a fixed sphere. The colors shifted and morphed across the object but I never saw them stay still. Brilliant white light lines appeared interspersed the individual colors somehow, almost like borders but not really because it all pulsed at such a high rate that these white lines were never stationary. At one point, the ! sphere seemed to elongate into a cylinder and then it returned to a sphere. I called my husband, who was out of town, to describe to him in real time what I was looking at. I also called my son, who lives a block away and asked him to come over to see what he thought about the odd thing. We both watched it though binoculars for nearly an hour. Eventually, the cold air off the water and the night moisture forced us indoors, but I went back out later to see if the object was still there... It was gone. Neither of us have any idea what it was nor have we ever seen anything like it before. Suffice it to say, it was spectacular.

2 large spherical objects, very bright orange-red, lifted upwards towards the sky, stopped briefly. One craft remained hovering while the other shot across the sky heading east. The hovering craft remained for at least 10 seconds,both silent before disappearing across the sky again.

Holiday, FL
I was driving north towards Holiday on Anclote Rd. (not far from the Anclote Power Plant) when I saw 3 solid green lights (taking up a vast amount of sky and forming a triangle) enter my view of the night sky. They were moving to the right, (north east) yet flying at the same speed and maintaining the same triangular shape. What captured my curiosity was that directly behind them and flying in the same direction was an airplane with flashing lights, however this plane was larger than the 3 green lights and obviously a plane. It looked like it was following the other objects. I watched the green lights travel across the sky together and at first I thought it was one solid object (in that case it would have been enormous triangular object) however as soon as I screamed out “What is that?!” one of the three green lights (the bottom left) started flashing red and white lights, as the other two green lights and flashing airplane remained the same and moved beyond! the tree line to where I could no longer see them. Then, this once green object with the now flashing lights abruptly changed directions and started flying back to the west. It was very confusing and I remember thinking, what are they doing? I wasn’t sure what to make of this, maybe it’s nothing but I haven’t seen anything like that before. I thought it was interesting and wanted to share what I saw!

I was in bed. I got up from my bed, and I thought I left a lite on as the bedroom was all lit up. no, the light was coming through the window, I looked out and saw a circle object above my nabors house across the street. on the west side of the streey it was so big it could have been coming from a few blocks away. my nabors house is 30 feet wide and this circle was a good 10 feet bigger on both sides I stood there and watched. the color looked like the moon, what ever color that is. after 10 min. I just went back to bed.

At first I thought it may have been a shooting star or comet but the altitude was too low and it was flying across the sky not down from the sky.

I was at home going upstairs to bed around 9:10 pm. I looked out the window at the top of the stairs and saw a bright white light pulsating. I went to my room to get my binoculars. I saw a round disk shape that I was thinking looked like a holographic form because of all the tiny white lights and connecting lines of white. It was hovering over and began changing colors, red, green, white. I yelled for my daughter downstairs. She also viewed the object. We then went outside in the front yard. I looked through the binoculars while she was trying to take pictures and record off my phone. The object was higher than a plane ( one of our videos has a plane flying underneath the obiect) and was higher than a cloud , but not as high as a star or the moon. We took turns looking. I observed it changing shapes from circle to triangle. It was moving up and down and would also go from side to side. I would see it spilt and was describing as pie shapes, it would split ! and then pull back together as a solid circle shape. We watched for about 45 mins and decided to go inside. I continued watching upstairs out the window where I originally saw it. It continued doing the same actions but the shapes were changing into like a fish shape and what seemed like a cylinder shape. The only thing I could see was lights connected by a white line, these are the shapes I am describing. I continued to watch from there until about 10:20 pm. The object then zipped further away in the distance toward the south and out of my view. I have a big window facing South and was able to view the object from there. It was further away in the distance. I continued to watch the same patterns, but I was able to see a separate white light moving around the bigger circle, this light had even tinier white lights falling down from the sky. I continued to watch till 12am when it was even further in distance and harder to see with the binoculars. Daughter Cassie’s detailed description: It was about 9pm on 1/8/2017 I was downstairs watching Tv. My mom went upstairs for bed. About 5 min later she’s yelling my name telling me to come upstairs. She said she saw a ufo outside! So I took a look in the binoculars and got focused on what she was looking at! Once I did I saw a holographic diamond shape in the sky! I looked around at all the other bright lights I saw in the sky of course because I was really wasn't believing what I was seeing! Nothing else up there looked like this so We went outside to get a better look! I watched and watched this thing for a good hr.! it was just hovering over one area until it disappeared and went to a new spot about 2 hrs later. While looking at this threw the binoculars I could see it rapidly changing colors. I’m not sure how else to describe it other than the colors just blended together & you could see all of them at one time. It also kept changing shapes. I’m not sure if it was turning and I was just seeing a different side of it or if it was actually changing the shape of its self. I did see something open up from the bottom and a bright ray of purple light came out of the bottom of it! It did not last long though I would say it was there for what felt about a minute then the purple slowly disappeared. When looking at this threw the binoculars I did get a little freaked out & thought something was watching me so I felt I needed to stop looking. When looking at this with your naked eye it was just a really bright ! light. While recording it on the phone with no flash on it was a bright light that quickly moved from one spot to another without any explanation. I have never seen anything like this before! it was absolutely amazing to see! At one point an airplane flew by and this object was above the plane level but below the stars! I later looked up imagines of a satellite & this object looked nothing like any satellite!

Six adults in our fifties, three men, three women, all saw a glowing orange cigar shaped object moving steadily in a straight line, parallel to the ground, from south to north. We were standing on my west facing, second story level lanai. It was level with us, around 100 yards away, 10 to 20 feet long and 5 to 10 feet tall/wide. It was totally silent, and suddenly blinked out/disappeared as it was approaching the north edge of our sight line.

I know it's late reporting this, it was around 12:19 am 01/01/2017 I was in my back yard letting my dog out, when I looked up at a red and white object moving slow towards the east, their was no noise and it kept changing colors from white to red, I know it wasn't an air plane because their were no running lights that you see on air crafts, I have a video of it, I have shown my friends this video, and they say it doesn't look like a plane.

Sighting date/time: January 1, 2017, at approximately 12:07AM Objects: Orange-red lights/spheres Location: Mandarin area of Jacksonville, FL. Conditions: Clear evening sky with some cloud formations visible. Total time frame of event: 2-3 minutes Observers: Two women (65 and 32 years of age) At approximately 12:07AM, January 1, 2017, a total of 5 bright orange-red spheres were spotted between 60-70 deg. from the horizon, traveling in a Westerly direction. Spheres were situated lower in the sky than a plane would fly and no contrails were seen. Sequence of events: Three spheres initially spotted from an open window moving slowly with no sound in an evenly-spaced zigzag pattern, then hovered momentarily as a fourth sphere joined them. * * * * From a driveway view, I saw the spheres shift into square formation for approximately 15-20 seconds ... * * * * until a larger, brighter sphere entered the area from East at a faster rate of speed than the previous spheres. The smaller lights then broke the square formation into a line and began traveling NW with the larger sphere at the rear until they were out of sight.

North Port, FL
December 31, 2016, starting at 11:33 pm until 11:39 pm. Observed first, a single brilliant, orange red sphere, then approximately 2 minutes later, 2 more of the same spheres flying side by side, following the same path as the first sphere. They were initially spotted from the south east near Punta Gorda, Florida, heading northwest over North Port Florida. The speed was very fast and silent. No visible vapor trails. Sky was clear with little street light interference. The first sphere flew a direct, horizontal path then suddenly disappeared near the north border of North Port. There were no clouds to camouflage the light. Sphere was large enough and bright enough to be seen at a far greater distance than the point at which it disappeared. The 2 spheres that followed, initially flew the same fast and straight horizontal paths, then suddenly started a rapid, narrow, zigzag, pattern, which lasted a few seconds. They then resumed their direct high speed horizontal path and disappeared in the same spot the first sphere did. My tablet would not take helpful photos.
