Melbourne, FL
At approximately 8:49pm EST in Melbourne Florida 2 people witnessed a light similar to Mars to the naked eye on a clear night hovering due west for 15 seconds before the light dimmed to be barely visible and then shot like a dim comet north west from where it was hovering. Event lasted approximately 30 seconds. Object moved significantly slower than a helicopter or plane.

Key Biscayne, FL
I observed a silvery white object that appeared high in the blue, but partly cloudy morning sky. Its position remained fixed, by the rail of my balcony, for several minutes until it began to move steadily east southeast at constant velocity. The clouds were a mix of TCU, from ~ 5000-10000' at low level and high SCT Cirrus ~ 25000' (my estimates). The TCUs moved east to west in front of the object, which did not appear to reflect the morning sun, but softly, glowed organically. Through the binoculars it appeared textured and matted, and too far/ small to appear on the camera. If this object were at 10000' I would estimate the diameter to be about 5'. After watching it pass behind a few TCUs, it finally failed to emerge. I considered this may have been a balloon at a level between the lower westerly flow and the higher easterly flow, moving easterly as it rose. If it was at 10000', I could hazard a guess of ~ 100kts.

At approximately 5:45 a.m. on October 17, 2016, I was walking my dog in the Brookfield neighborhood of Countryside and I saw a bright bluish white light/object traveling slowly (average walking speed) towards me from across the street. The object had a round body and a tail like a comet. It was about the size of a baseball/softball and its tail was about twice as long as its body. It was flying at rooftop height. Then it stopped about 2 houses in front of me. The tail disappeared and the bottom side of the body turned a beautiful dark red and then the light/object was gone. It did not make any sound. It was still quite dark outside so I was not able to investigate. I intend to look for some evidence later this afternoon.

I was driving to work, saw a bright blue light hovering a mile or two south of me. It stayed still for 20-30 seconds, then zoomed away faster than anything I've ever seen.

South Tampa, FL
I saw green\blue streak of light that came in quick from left to right, stop than blink and went out. Just gone, nothing else happened...

Lithia, FL
I have seen this circular object in the south sky on and off for the past week. Last night I decided to take pictures of it and video tape it. It starts out looking like a very bright light shaped like a circle at dusk. As darkness comes the bright circle slowly moves down during a duration of about 2 hours. I watched it last night. Two family members were also present and witnessed this as well. Then it simply disappears. It moves so slow you can't actually see it move at all but every time I would glance up it would be in a different spot. I first noticed the circle on 10/09/16.

Orlando, FL
I was with my friend in my car driving home around 3:55 am in Baldwin park, Orlando. We stopped at a light and we both immediately said look at that. As we both were looking at some huge black blimp with weird circles all around and a cone front. The weird part is this object disappeared in front of our eyes. We spend the entire morning looking for this object. Amazing! Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Fort Lauderdale, FL
shape crossed sky heading south.zero flashing lights only a steady glow. speed, hard to say as altitude is not known. the craft came into sight and went out of sight in less than 2 minutes. My guess is some type of surveillance craft at high altitude.

Port Richey, FL
Hovering and making abrupt movements before descending. Green and red lights flashing. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) 3 times as bright as Venus when it's low in the sky. Pretty big in size too Looked like a low jet coming in except it wasn't moving. It took off vertically, claimed very high at a high rate of speed then just stopped for a period. Then dipped below the trees in the distance. I thought maybe a quadcopter type of device. But when it was still it was dead still. Very windy here with hurricane Mathew looming! Not sure a quadcopter could handle the winds like this craft did but I could be wrong. Also, the light pattern was unlike what I'm seeing on YouTube. It had a fast blinking plain green/red light. More like a normal aircraft. ((END ADDENDUM))

Destin, FL
Not really a "craft," but rather a chevron-shaped glowing vapor cloud about 10 moon widths from top to bottom, moving across about 70 degrees of the dark night sky in about 10 seconds before fading. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Sorry im just reporting this 4 months later it's just so shocking im a bug fan of ufo so I know what we saw was legit no doubt about it. So me and my girl friend was riding down Tennessee street I think north or south one of the two and I was like baby look at that over there she looked her mouth just dropped. Im not sure if anyone else saw it because we wasn't the only ones on the road but we saw a circle like craft just hovering in mid air it looked clear or white something like that almost if it was about to land on the tower tree looking thingy which is impossible to do, it was moving at about 1mph yesss that slow. Next thing you know we pass by a small tree that literally a small tree we passed by it in light seconds because realize we are in a car it doesn't take that long to pass a tree. we looked back up to see it again.it was gone just that fast . I even turned my car around in mid traffic to try to locate what we just seen we never saw it again. I ! will tell anybody what I saw. WE KNOW WHAT WE SAW WASN'T A NORMAL SPACE CRAFT. I WAS SO SMALL IT WOULD BE INPOSSIBLE FOR A HUMAN TO FIT IN. WELL THAT'S WHAT IT SEEM LIKE

I was standing outside and looked up and saw a triangular craft at roughly one mile in altitude.It was moving slowly from the east to the west.It appeared to be white or silver in color and was emitting a beam or white substance from the bottom.There was no sound and it appeared to be slowly ascending in altitude as it moved from east to west.Sighting lasted about thirty minutes and ended as it climbed into and above the clouds.

St. Augustine, FL
I was outside at work, and there were 3 lights in the sky going North to South...started in a straight line, then separated with the center one going in front of the other two, then they went back in the line...didn't hear anything, and the lights were diamond shaped. They were a white/yellow color.

St. Augustine, FL
My two friends and I decided to watch the sky at a popular tourist attraction called "the fort" in St. Augustine, Florida. I used to live there, they still do. It was a full moon, we were dancing and talking. All the sudden I see a saucer flying way lower to the ground than a plane would be flying. It was also hovering. Planes DO NOT hover. Helicopters do, but it was NOT a helicopter. It was clearly saucer shaped. It was lighted up, I can't recall what colors. It was moving in strange ways, back ans forth, side to side. I was so shocked. I pointed at it to show my friends and said " HOLY $&@&/& IS THAT AN ALIEN SHIP?!" And they both said something that was somewhere along the lines of YEAH!!! The saucer ZOOMED so fast. Fast as lightning away into an abyss. We don't know where it went, it kind of just dissapeared like a ghost. And that was that. We started running away from where we were, back to town, where we felt safe. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. Indicates that the date is approximate. PD

We were on Highway 98 heading west just before 331 and in the NW sky a ball of fire came straight down visually the size of a baseball the color of a campfire however my wife saw green in that color. We lost site as it passed in the tall pine trees on the NW side of 98.

Naples, FL
I walked out my back door to smoke and looked west toward the Gulf. I noticed a grouping of lights moving from north to south. As soon as I noticed them, I began moving away from my porch light. The lights were a dull orange, as if covered by clouds. At first it seemed to be like a glider, then similar to a dragonfly, to the point where the lights were flowing like on the tips of a manta ray. I followed further when the lights disappeared, only for a few seconds. The disappearance was then disrupted by a bright circular flash, and then concluded. Witness provides no contact information.

I woke up to smoke a cigarette outside double tree hotel balcony that faces pga blvd when I saw a light flickering underneath a lamp post. I realized it was wasn't a bug or reflection as the way it was blinking it broke into 2 other smaller orbs of light. I recorded as long as I could phone battery was.low. I witnessed orbs just a few hrs earlier off of pga blvd. sent in a separate report for that event as well.

Orange Park, FL
I was taking my dog out after the debate, before bed. I looked up to see if the sky had cleared so I could see the stars, which I love to do. I was shocked to see a group of orange, triangular shaped, moving objects. They were larger than any of the planets or stars I could see. They were just above the tree line, probably 60 degrees. I would have thought it was a flock of geese had it been daytime or had each been lit! But, they were each lit, a fairly bright orange, and the 11 or 12 objects flew rather slowly. There was no noise that I could hear and the "v" shape was not perfect. Some flew somewhat out of formation, for lack of a better word. I wonder if anyone else saw this.

Hollywood, FL
On front porch having my coffee and a smoke, my son came out to leave for work. I looked up and saw a bright white light. Thought it was a star or a planet. Then it started moving. When it made a large and very rapid U-turn, I knew it was not a plane. I was saying oh my goodness - repeatedly. My son came to me and he saw the object traveling at high speed and making additional large rapid U-turns. I ran inside to get my camera. When I returned, he said it turned from a bright white to red and then disappeared. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I was stopped at a red light and noticed bright lights in the sky. I took more notice when the objects in sky began to multiply and glow brighter in the night sky. I decided to take advantage of the red light to grab my cell phone to record.
