A circular shaped light moved steadily and smoothly across the sky, then disappeared. Several minutes later, the object reappeared in another section of the sky, moving in the same manner. It disappeared again, then again came back in another part of the sky, finally dissolving. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

UFO Report: I am in Hillborough County Florida. My address is Tampa, but I am actually in Northdale about 8 miles North of Tampa. At 7:49 PM, I walked into my office on the 3rd floor of my apartment building to get my keys. The light was off and I noticed something outside of my plate glass window. Looking due East, I saw a bright red/orange light coming towards me from the horizon. I got my cell phone out and videotaped it for the next 2 minutes and 20 seconds. The fiery look settled down and I noticed it was a round orange globe, too big to be a planet, and too small to be the moon. The skies were crystal clear. It flashed orange lights a few times and then stayed white and seemed to be further away. It drifted slowly to the south and stayed fixed for a minute or so. Then it began drifting to the south more noticeably and stopped again. After another minute or so, it simply disappeared. I have an excellent quality video on my phone that shows this event really well. I am a retired salesman, 58 years old. I moved to Florida from Kentucky 2 ½ years ago. I am always sky watching.

Bright orange ball of light over Lake Baldwin. We pulled over. There were allay three people recording. It was stationary and large. Suddenly it turned diffused... as though it were surrounded by clouds or some, but there wasn't a cloud near it. Then it simply disappeared...blipped out of the sky as though it were extinguished.

We suspect that the three stars the witness alludes to may be the three stars that form the "belt" in the Orion Constellation. Possible sighting of stars?? PD

While taking a video of 2 Air force pilots at around 8:00 am flying in the Eastern sky, I captured an unidentified craft that suddenly came into the video after reviewing the video. I did not see it while capturing the video. A black shaped disk in color appears in the video at after 2 seconds from the 10 o'clock position above the lower Air Force Pilot and seems to chase the Air Force pilot, then surpasses it in flight ultimately faster than the Jet. It made no noise, it did not have an exhaust system like the jets did. Very interesting morning.

At approx: 11:45am on 01/14/2018, while driving to purchase a coffee, I observed a circular object that was stationary in the sky at a relatively high altitude. The object was shiny metallic in color. The object did not have any contrail activity behind it. It did not emit a sound. It just remained idle in the sky. After trying to process what it was I was seeing, I pulled my vehicle into a safe location free of traffic, I lost site of the object. Roughly five minutes later, my girlfriend also observed the object and pointed it out to me. I saw it for a split second, then, due to the route I was driving, the view of the object was obscured by a tall tree. Moving my vehicle to get away from the obstructed view, we lost all vision of the object. We continued to search for the object for another 10 minutes or so, but the object had vanished. Its important to note, that during the observation of the object and immediately after, there was alot of aircraft activity; more than usually observed at this particular time of day. Please note, what I observed is not a hoax or a prank. I am a retired volunteer police officer, retiring at the rank of Lieutenant. As a self proclaimed sceptic/believer, I too, would be hesitant to find any validity in this report, but what I saw is exactly what I observed. I am hopeful that other people in the area observed what I observed. Thank you, We spoke via telephone with this witness, and we found him to be quite sober-minded about his sighting, and convincing. We suspect that he is an excellent, and highly reliable, witness, a fact underscored by his law-enforcement background. PD

I saw the object move across the sky and continue its course following route 40. I took a short video but stopped recording when I thought it was not visible because of how dark it was outside. This morning I realized the object is visible in the video.

My friend and I saw a large, strange yellow glow in the night sky. It came on slowly, and went off slowly. It was not coming on in any certain interval of time. Wondering what this was, we drove towards it. We then noticed that there was one off to the right, and one off to the left. The one on the left had THREE yellow lights that would turn on one at a time, one right after the next, going from left to right. Then it would move its position in the sky and do it again. We drove as far as we could, to a dead end, and turned off the headlights to try to see it more clearly. We watched it for at least 15 minutes. Neither one of us could explain what we were seeing. Finally, they stopped. They were gone.

My cousin went outside to throw away the trash after we finished eating breakfast. He then returns and tells everyone that their are UFO’s outside. I thought he was joking but his wife went outside to look first my wife followed and then my kids and I followed. I looked up and in the sky I saw shiny dots in the sky. I observed the objects and then returned inside to get my iPhone to document what I saw. I called my sister and told her what I saw and I tried to face time her so she could witness the UFO’s that I was looking at. The face time did not work because they were to far up and I could not zoom in. I texted her the photos and videos I took on my phone. We continued watching the objects for 15 minutes or so. Everyone else went back inside and I continued watching the UFO’s. I then walked for a block to catch a Pokémon and when I looked up I did not see the UFO’s. As I walked back to my cousin's house, I then saw a father who was looking after his son who was riding a bike. I told him what I saw and I showed him the pictures and Videos I took. I then started walking back inside my cousin's house, and I saw the UFO’s, so I ran to the Man with his son and asked if they wanted to see the object I saw. They said yes. We walked closer to the house and looked up and showed them. I asked if they looked like drones. He replied, “No Way”. I observed planes in the air and compares them to what I saw and the objects were much higher. The objects seemed to hover and remain still. One was slowly moving as the others remained still. My wife and two kids were hanging out by the pool and I joined them. I only sat outside with my wife as the kids were playing in the pool. I continued to look at the sky and could only observe one UFO. The UFO eventually was so far up in the sky I could no longer see it. I was able to observe the UFO’s for close to an hour. I did not know who to call so I looked up the UFO hotline online on my phone. I left a message and received a call back and I then wrote down what I observed and filled out this report. Take a look at the videos and pictures for reference. Thanks, ((name deleted)) We spoke via telephone with the witness, and found him to be well-spoken, and seemingly quite serious-minded. He has forwarded four photos and videos to NUFORC, which we plan to post, together with this report. PD

Saw several circular or ball-shaped objects which appeared to be stacking up on each other and moving together. As we watched we saw a couple come out of others that were already present and separate. There were military helicopters circling the area within a couple miles, but not too close....so they were definitely aware of the event.

At about 22:45 last night the power went out in my entire apartment complex. I decieded to look outside and a bright light caught my eye. It was white in color and it was moving just enough to look like it was just hanging there floating around. I called two of my roomates to also look at it and they agreed it was moving but dissmissed it as a plane. However, it was not moving nearly enough to be a plane it was in the same area the entire two hours. Eventually I look outside around mid night and it was gone.

I was sitting at my desk in my room watching videos. I notice the reflection of my screen in the window, which scared me. Then I notice over some houses southwest of me and I see this big ball of light slowly rising into the sky. It's about dusk and at first I think it is a helicopter reflecting sunlight, but if that were the case it would not have been such a bright solid white color. Then I opened my window to see better and I cannot hear any helicopter. And the light is way too close not to be able to hear if it was. So I keep watching and the light disappears for a moment then reappears a couple hundred yards to the left and it seems closer. Then it just disappears. So I go to sit back down, and as I turn around my Amazon Echo starts listening to me, then says, "Sorry, I don't know that one." Very odd.

Driving down Cactus rd and see a orange, red flame like ball in the sky, it slowly rose and floated across the city sky. Heading in no particular direction (more north then anything else ) on a slow uncertain path until it’s flame like existence just went out and we could not see it any more. There were planes in the sky at the time and it was clear this object was not a plane. Both planes had a straight path and this object floated in a side ways, low path, no more then 500 feet above the city.

I was driving home from a New Year's Eve party on my way home on Interstate 4 heading east I look towards the left and saw some fireworks earlier however when I looked over a little bit down the road I seen lights in a circular formation. Sitting still with no flickering the way the lights seemed to be shining seemed like they were all PMing from focal point inside the clouds I thought maybe the lighter could have came from something from down on the grounds but the lights seem to be shining out rather then being projected from the ground. I started at it until I couldn't see it anymore. I'm sure there were many people to see this because it caused number to number traffic for a while I have a video and some pictures

My husband and I went your to watch fireworks at midnight. Looking up at the sky we saw one light that looked like a star moving quickly. In front of the moon and near the Big Dipper. Then we noticed a star looking craft also moving across. The game together moving around one another then a third craft came. They were definitely moving and joined together to make contact. They remained there for a long time and they got more distant because we could still see them but they were harder to see because they were farther alway. Not a drone. Too high and they looked just like stars. One of the first sightings I’ve had. We assume that they were observing earth during our celebration. Maybe you will see some crafts tonight and I hope others spotted them. They actually may still be up there if you look now near the Big Dipper and moon.

saw a glowing object,I went to get my phone it sat above and as I recorded it, would it would go side to side as it spun in circles really fast. it was glowing yellows and orange, and it looked like it has little spikes all around it. then would zoom closer to me. almost like it knew I was recording it. then it turned away from me and slowly went the opposite way, then it was gone. the video shows all.
