Hudson, FL
I was sitting on my porch on my computer when this red ball of light appeared from the darkness. I thought it was a flare at first but the way it had appeared out of no where and had no visible tail made me think other wise. It slowly faded to yellow and then to gray before floating there. This was when I recorded it on my phone. [NUFORC annotation: Flares - Possible]

We where traveling on veterans blvd in Port Charlotte fl heading east from Murdock towards Charlotte harbor when we Saw an orange colored sphere with a reddish comet like tail. The tail slowly disappeared and we could still see the object it was slightly dimmer than when we first sighted it going south then turning eastward it was gaining elevation slower than a commercial plane. If I had to estimate its size I would say 2 times the size of a commercial airliner.

I was driving home from work and saw what looked light an extremely bright star in the sky. However, it was only 5pm and still bright outside. I noticed it move slightly and began to take pictures. My live picture was setting was on for the first image and I was able to break it down into multiple frames when I got home. I was able to take 3 pictures total before it quickly disappeared. I've never seen anything like it. When I went through the frame-by-frame, there are a few frames where the orb splits into two. I have included the three original images, as well as a screenshot I took of the zoomed in frame-by-frame shot of the split. I watched a report from earlier today in Melbourne FL, and its behavior and appearance looked similar, but closer in terms of distance.

We saw a bright flash like someone took our picture in the dark. After that we looked up and saw the object. It seemed massive in size. The whole perimeter of the object was illuminated with a white light. Oval shaped but bigger on one side and jagged like a rock. It was not moving across the sky like a satellite or space station. Seemed to be moving away. Hard to tell how high it was? It was definitely higher than airplane traffic at 35,000’.

Was in my work truck heading to my very last stop at Dustin‘s barbecue off of Wickham Road when I saw the object seemingly suspended in place, not moving in any apparent direction. Filmed the object for approximately one minute to show its immobility before it seemed to Shoot off directly away from me before disappearing in a small flash of light.

Me, my children, and family, were swimming when I noticed it first after looking up. I thought maybe I was seeing things until I looked at my sister in law and said- Did you see that or am I crazy? There were two orbs that were going in circles chasing each other kind of, I’m not sure but they were moving so fast in the sky it looked unreal. It looked nothing like a normal plane or aircraft going by it moved WAY too fast. By then it went away for a few minutes and I told everyone by this time- even the neighbors came out and saw what ever was moving at the speed of light. After about half an hour there was no more sight of the orbs.

Ponte Vedra Beach, FL
Have to assume these were drones, but could not find similar shapes in search. They were flying slowly, whatever they were. Silent. In the first pass, one was slightly in front of the other, flying along and to the ocean side and just above the Carlyle, a condo building of 3 or 4 stories. Looked like they could have been as large as a small car, but shaped for all the world like a giant tictac. Route was south to north between that building ( Carlyle) and The Lodge and Club at Ponte Vedra Beach. Closer to the Carlyle, and slightly west of Ocean Blvd. watched them go and went back to swimming. Then a 3rd one followed shortly after. Might have been 1 minute, might have been 2. might have been a drone coming back for another pass without its friend. Whatever. 3rd one flew on the other side of the Carlyle, west side of that building, just above roof height. Again the path was south to north. Nothing else happened. No military planes showed up from NAS Jax or Mayport. Assumed if it was dangerous, they would have. Continued my swim. You see all kinds of stuff swimming backstroke, but this was a first. If I had not been swimming backstroke, I would never have seen them -- unless maybe sitting poolside looking north, which no one does because the sun is not coming from that direction. If I'd had a camera or phone, I would have taken a picture. There wasn't anybody else in the pool to do it. I looked around. Employees inside were, you know, inside. Lifeguard either gone for the day or not present at that time. If I had gotten out of the pool to got inside, they would have been gone. I'm not sure on the day, honestly. It was last week ( last week of November, first couple days of December), and I swam in reverse order, Sunday 12/3, sat 12/2, thurs 11/30, tues 11/28 -- sat 11/25 before that. Mostly I swim between 11am and 1 pm. [NUFORC annotation: Drone - Possible]

Valrico, FL
We were sitting at the kitchen counter and looked out the sliding glass doors to a giant light that was green and red and white launching straight into the sky from the ground. Thought it was a rocket but this was Sunday night. Too loud to be a drone but too quiet to be a plane. Slowed down frame by frame in my video you can see it rotating from red light to green light to white light like they were placed on a disk. It was moving fast bc we had to run to the front yard just to catch it. Wasn’t flying in. A straight like either and I had saw a plane go by about twenty min after this. The thing we saw was not a plane. You could see it glowing green past the horizon of trees. Circular for sure with disk like features. I thought it was just a drone at first but this looked like a rocket launch not a drone flying up. Also it was way too high up in the atmosphere to be a drone. You also just feel chills on your neck and body knowing that this is not something you regularly see. I had to stay out there for 20 extra minutes just peering into the sky. No rocket launches on the 19th.

I happened to look out my bedroom window at around 2:30am and I saw a small circular UFO that blinked between white and black. it moved up and down and left and right and loop-d-looped. The bottom part of my window was covered with a drop-cloth because my parents and I are getting new shades for our windows. I tried taking a video and photos of the UFO but my flip-phone apparently does not allow for that function. I got our binoculars but the binoculars did not work well and I could not get a clear sight on the lense. I had my TV on because I was watching the news. I watch the news in the middle of the night. My parents were sleeping and nobody in my neighborhood was awake apparently. We live in a gated community in Fort Myers, Florida. There is a sidewalk in front of out house and nobody was walking on the sidewalk and no cars drove by on our street. I did not tell my parents about this UFO sighting. I have seen vidoes of this type of UFO sighting that I saw on the internet. It is the first time I have seen a UFO with my own eyes.

I was walking my dog with my son like I usually do around 9-10 pm and my son said “look dada” and he had pointed out a flying plane that you could see the red blinking lights and such and I’d say 4 seconds later, I looked away and looked up again and i see a HUGE triangle ship “gliding” across the sky. It was flying above the plane my son had pointed out and it was completely silent. The lights were bright in a perfect shaped “V” on the front of the triangle and it was flying about 78 degrees from the horizon so it was kinda above me. It was so big and I stared at it in awe and I had goosebumps and I felt happy as hell. Never in my life I have never seen anything like that and something that HUGE going across the sky and I say it was “gliding” because it did not move like a normal object. It seemed to go across the sky so effortlessly by just simply “gliding” on it. Lasted a solid 10 seconds max but that’s being lenient, it went across the sky really fast until it got out of my view across the top of my apartment building .

My mother and I saw several objects in the sky at approx 430pm this afternoon November 9, 2023. It was about 80° with mostly clear skies and some stratus clouds way up. They were heading about 30°N and flew across half the sky for about 30 seconds while we watched from the dock. Waaay high up - they went into super high stratus clouds towards the end but we could still see them through the clouds for a bit. I saw 2 aircraft with no wings - but there was something folded over on the sides. And they were big enough that we could see that detail from that high. I saw the 2 aircraft flying in perfect formation, but one of them kindof twisted and looked like there could be two craft on top of each other, then they merged again. They gleamed white in the sunlight. There was no trail behind them and absolutely no sound. Mom agrees that we have absolutely no idea what they were. My father was an engineer for the Air Force and designed several planes, including working on the B2 stealth bomber, so my mother and I are both familiar with different aircraft. We currently live near NAS JAX and are used to seeing all sorts of aircraft, but these were like nothing we have ever seen.

Between 5:35pm and 5:38pm on 11/08/2023, I noticed an airplane flying across the sky. It was to the Northeast of me and was flying South-Southwest across the sky. It appeared to be a commercial Southwest brand airplane. I then noticed a smaller object in the sky that was maybe the size and shape of a matchbox held far away. It was glowing white in color, with a slight bright yellow hue to it. As the plane appeared to be flying Southwest, the object appeared to be flying towards the plane from the Northwest in a Southeastern direction, and appeared to almost intersect with the airplane at one time. It looked like they crossed the same point in the sky from my eye line, but the object appeared to be much further away than the airplane. Not more than a couple minutes later, I noticed another bright object of similar shape and color flying in the same path as the previous object. They both appeared to get smaller as they flew into the Southeastern sky until they were no longer visible. I had eyes on each for less than a minute with a clear blue sky and no cloud blocking the view. At 5:45 I noticed I spotted the third object flying across the sky from the same origin and direction as the previous two objects. The difference was I didn’t notice any lights coming from it at all. It appeared to be black or dark brown in color. I could see it in full view when it was directly east of me, and I could not notice a single light or anything. It was flying too high, too fast, and too far away to be a bird, but that is the best way to describe it, almost like a triangular sparrow disappearing into the horizon. It followed the same flight path as the previous objects I had spotted. The closest object I can compare the black object to in shape and size would be Batman’s black bat-shaped throwing knife he shoots out of his suit. About the size of a small pocket knife but more triangular in shape. Each object was observed with light still in the sky just before sunset. I did not notice any trails of light or smoke behind each of the objects.

I came out this morning around 4:20am looked up and saw a bright light shining to the right of our moon, it seemed strange at the time because it was brighter than the actual moon which was only a quarter of a the moon shining this morning. Watched it for 1 hour no movement so I decided to take a photo. When I zoomed in I saw the imagine posted. Thought it would be interesting to share. [NUFORC annotation: Planet/Star - Probable]

While driving towards Worthington Springs, FL from Lacrosse, FL with my husband, at 7:52pm, I noticed 2 bright, warm white lights in the sky. I compared it to headlights on a close hill, as it appeared much nearer than planets, stars, planes, etc. I had my husband pull up plane finder to see if any planes/helicopters were the culprit as we do have a nearby airport(but this still would have been very low for a plane.) I knew it was either stationary or moving towards us, as I couldn't see any movement. My husband took pictures but they are poor and do not show the formation. There is no cell tower in this area either. I lost sight of it behind the trees for a bit, then saw it again over a field. Here, I was able to get a view from the underside. (Horrible sketch attached.) It was 3 large, white, warm toned lights in a triangle formation, with smaller lights speckled about, all the same color. It was dark surrounding all these lights, but I cant tell you for certain that this was "a craft" as opposed to a product of my mind. I did understand it to be such. This did not look like any aircraft we know of or could Google. It appeared to be slowly moving in the direction we came from at this point. I kept driving and lost sight again, never seeing it cross the road in my rear view mirror. This object also did not have any sound and was visible for 4 minutes without much movement. It was definitely larger over the field, but we were driving toward it, so it's hard to tell what the movement distance/speed really was. It began about penny size then was golfball at second appearance. It was no longer there on our trip back ~20 minutes later. I will attach a picture from when we first saw it, but it isn't worth anything as it just appears as a blob of white light. (You will see two poles on the side of the road, mid photo. Look immediately above those. Other lights visible are reflections from my dash.) Terrible sketch shows the underside(I originally tried to draw it at an angle, like I saw it, but I can't.) I tried to illustrate the darkness around the lights. The positioning is all accurate. Feel free to text me about this. I'm not putting "I'd like to be contacted" because I feel like that's a waste of your time, but if you need anything, message me.

While sitting in my hot tub I was looking in a Southward direction waiting for the SpaceX rocket launch, when I saw what I thought was a shooting star, but then I realized there were more lights around what I thought was the star. The lights were in a chevron shape and were very dim. The object with the lights moved across the sky very quickly. It was out of my view within 3 or 4 seconds. The object appeared to be flat and made no sound as it moved across the sky. My boyfriend also saw it as he was in the hot tub with me.

Initially saw red round object. Went into cloud then saw green then sharp blue vertical light. It changed to yellow path. Objects looked like they were slowly being drawn up one at a time through tunnel. The sky then closed and objects disappeared. [NUFORC annotation: Searchlight - Possible]

Maybe it’s nothing but considering it can only be seen while playing the videos in slow motion and it’s still clearly faster than the Blue Angels that I was filming, it’s pretty interesting. If you blink, you’ll miss it. It’s so fast and when I pause it and take a screen shot, then zoom in, on one of them, the shape changes from a dot to an odd shape. [NUFORC annotation: Bird - Probable]

Myself, along with four other adults and multiple children witnessed an upside down pear-shaped object. The object was on a straight line trajectory coming from the south and going north/north west. It was moving at approximately 30 miles an hour, and maintained the same altitude and trajectory from the point of time when it entered to the time it exited line of view and exited our line of view. It was very clear that the object didn’t have any sort of wings or propeller system. The object also made absolutely no sound. The object also never deviated from its course in either direction or altitude. It looked like a black colored object and wizard right by us overhead. There was no shiny or metallic color to it as in a mylar balloon. It was also small. It could not have been more than 4 ft in height and diameter. Original report said it was 20 "years" away. Perhaps they meant yards?

It looks like an oval form and with pinocle, I think I see something next to it that looks like metal. It stays still until I start trying to film it with my phone, then it moves quickly. It move so fast like nothing I have seen before. It stays very still now..like it is watching me ..or this part of the world..very scary..actually. I have movies and pictures.. I can send them.

Looking East, South East, from a half mile in from the ocean, I saw two blinking lights, varying in intensity and with an irregular, non rhythm/mechanical blinking pattern. Each one alternated when it was blinking. This lasted a few minutes then it was gone, but there was no directional change.
