Melbourne Beach, FL
About 2 miles out over the ocean, directly east of Melbourne Beach. an amorphic, bright, red glow hovered above the ocean. This folloowed a lighning storm and there were some clouds remaining over the ocean...thye shape changed and became sperical, as if you were looking at the bottom half of the moon; the top half being covered by clouds. The red/orang-red became brighter and the shape continued to morph. We thought, perhaps, a faulty rocket was falling from Cape Canaveral or, perhaps, lightning had struck a craft at sea and it had caught fire. Suddenly, as we continued to watch, it gave another heave of hue/brightness and disappeared/stopped/blinked out. It was beautiful, starnge and a bit unsettling. I was raised on this ocean and have never seen anything like this on any continent, above any ocean or body of water. If anyone else witnessed this, I'd appreciate hearing from them...thank you!

At first we saw a line of flashing lights in the sky, then they just started to move faster and changed into different shapes. It was hard to tell what it was. They just kept on flashing as the moved across the sky until they disappeared in the distance.

I was driving and looked up to see the sunset. I noticed a pulsing bright light, which I thought was a star. I thought it was strange to see a star so early. Then I realized it was getting lower, towards the horizon. After a few seconds, it disappeared, then reappeared after about a second. At that point I ruled out an airplane. I recalled that when there are such sightings, there are usually more than one. I looked up a little bit, and suddenly saw the second one. Both were descending, slowly to me, but they were so far away it's hard to gauge speed. The lower one continued to blink in and out, while the other stayed solid. In both cases, once they reached a certain point, they just disappeared. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides little contact information. PD

Black craft was being followed by two jets that could be heard extremely loud moving north to south directly overhead and to the East of 95. Jets become visible and then the craft. The formation was exact with two Jets maybe a few yards apart close behind the craft at first. Then after all three objects came into sight the UFO speeded up quickly and disappeared (dematerialized)

This morning around 5:15 I was sitting outside on our backyard patio. It was a clear night sky littered with many stars. As I shifted my weight on the patio chair, a large shape could be seen to the northeast. It flashed red and green and appeared to have the shape of a spark plug. At first I thought it might be a helicopter hovering. But there was no movement in any direction nor did it make a sound or appear at a low enough altitude. I watched it for the better part of 10 minutes when suddenly there appeared six soft white shapes that ballooned outwards from the original flashing lights. This new creation reminded me of a flock of birds falling into a half moon shape rather than the traditional V. The speed at which these six new un flapping, soft white/grey birds moved in perfect synchronicity was astounding! I couldn't take my eyes off them! They moved quickly across the sky in a perfect line until they were out of sight. And when I returned my gaze to the original craft, it was gone. Originally I hoped to find a report on this same anomaly. I guess there aren't many sky watchers at that hour of the morning. I'm still pinching myself over this sighting. I was almost hoping these birds were a new breed of night flyers who don't need to flap their wings while covering vast distances at break neck speed.

About 15 minutes later 5 or six of them all lighted up at the same time and put on quite a show. We figured they must be military but we agreed it was very strange. Any explanation?

My husband and I got up to smoke. I opened the living room window and I was looking at the Orion star constellation, when I noticed a dim lit orange round disk fly slowly west towards our direction. It stopped a couple of times briefly while in flight but then flew out of my view. The object was completely silent and had no other visible lights.

two circular shapes with orbs of red lights with in them. moving very slow but event only lasted about two minutes. last month i saw something similiar but that time there was a large circle with orbs of light and a smaller one behind it. it appeared as though the larger one was towing the smaller one like a tractor beam. really fantastic.

every early morning, I take my dog outside to start the day. on clear days, I enjoy searching the heavens for a glimpse of a shooting star. I was observing the early morning star formations in the eastern sky as I do every morning between 5:45 - 6:45. The sky was very clear with no clouds or aircraft visible. As I looked up at about 15 degrees, I observed a single star which appeared to be of great distance due to it's brightness. Then I observed first one light to the right of the star that suddenly appeared and was pulsating at a slow interval. It was not like a strobe light of an aircraft. Then 180 degrees to the left of it, another light starting pulsating. both lights then began to pulsate faster until the flashing became a constant light with no intervals. They then began to rotate opposite of each other in a 360 degree rotation, first slowly, then faster and faster until the lights appeared as a single ring. Then suddenly there was complete darkness. ! I just stared at the spot where I witnessed these lights for some minutes later, somewhat dumbfounded at what I had just observed. I am an Quality Engineering Manager for a microwave communication components manufacturer. I have worked in the aerospace industry for almost 40 yrs. I know aircraft and I know satellites and these lights were not from either types of equipment. I have never seen anything like what I have witnessed this morning. It appeared to be definitely outside our atmosphere, mush higher than satellites I have seen from the sun's light reflecting on their sides as they streak across the sky in their obit. What I have witnessed this morning was certainly not man made and it has been a really shocking event for me. After all these years, I was still not convinced there was any real legitimate UFO sightings until this morning. It's totally a game changer !

a ball of light came straight down and a month later again it seems to be in the same spot every time out side of Tampa airport near McDowell air force base its seems to be on a regular basis in my humble opinion it seems like if it was coming from a larger ship

Pensacola, FL
appx 4;45 am I was outside having coffee. I looked to the east near the airport and noticed 4 bright round lights. At the time there was a thunderstorm. But as I watched the lights they were flying around up, down sideways hovering in air with no movement then they would go into for different directions. I got my husband up and saw exactly what was going on. It was like watching fire flies. This went on for appx one hour , Also there were four other lights that formed a small triangle and they flew together and then they went straight up and gone. I thought it was over then another four lights due east of the airport came together and it was like they were dancing in the sky. could not video my phone does not do good pics. I watched this until 5;45 am the sun was coming up and the light show was over. I called the news and our local airport to tell them about these round lights. plus there was no noise

Rotating in sky while hovering up and down and a circular fashion, sometimes hovering almost motionless. Speeding off at a very high rate of speed, no sound. Emitting several different color lights. First green, then red, then white. Twinkling star? PD

On this evening were driving east. In the southeast direction I notice a bright white light that isn't moving. I mention it to my brother. He thinks it's an airplane. I know it wasn't because the object was still in the sky. The sun was still out so it was too bright to be a star. When I asked him to take a picture of it, the object slowly disappears.

Holiday, FL
My boyfriend and I noticed these events taking place about a week ago. We were out at 1 am and saw red white green and blue lights flashing in one spot in the sky. We watched it for 30 minutes and it hadn't moved, we checked out the rest of the sky and spotted two more of the same object some of them had moved! We were sitting in the same unmoved position, yet they were not. At first we thought maybe a twinkling star. The next few nights we sat outside .. To see if they were visible still. Every night the number and placement was different. We wanted to catch it while it was moving! Last night is when I knew for a fact it wasn't stars. There was only one last night and it was closer than usual however not close enough to see the exact shape. Although the lights that flash red white yellow green and blue seemed to blur to the right and back a little giving the effect that the object had a sort of roundness to it and the lights go round and round. Sometimes just blinking. We watched it while trying to get our iPhones out but of course it just app! ears as a dot of a light switching colors. Then finally we witness what we wanted, it was moving. Up very slowly, it went higher and higher stopping many times in between then it darted to the right and stayed put again. What else could possibly move this way?!?

Seminole, FL
Leaving our home next to Seminole High School, we noticed an odd light arrangement in the sky over the school. It appeared to be four small round balls stuck together. They each had a separate color, orange, green, red and blue. They were moving counter clockwise. I stumbled for my phone to get this on tape while screaming for my boyfriend to call my sister a few streets away, as the video starts you will notice all of the other lights turn red and it takes off too fast to be anything that could fly, it returns rapidly with now white lights, it shoots more toward Indian Shores beach, it shoots back over Seminole and then gone. It appeared to be heading east/south east. I own a Kyocera and they are very bad at night camera, but I did get a video of it.

Palm Harbor, FL
They were moving slowly in a staggered single file formation. All appeared to be at about 500 ft elevation just south of my location and all were traveling in the same line, at the same speed. They were silent. I watched this phenomenon for about ten minutes, or so, from a location on the Tarpon Springs, Palm Harbor town line, about one half mile from the Gulf.
