Palm Bay Light Maneuvers
Palm Bay, Sept 10, 2009. At approx.3:20-3:25pm on Sept.10th,2009,I saw from my dock in Malabar,Fl. a white light traveling at a high rate of speed over the barrier island,or close to it(Melbourne Beach area)Then it stopped,backed up,went straight up then back down and continued heading south.(This occurred approx.over the South Shores condominiums)I ran out to the end of my dock to get a better look and against a background of dark clouds,I saw this object continue going south at a very high rate of speed.Before I lost sight of it,it appeared to shoot a beam of light towards the ground,but it only lasted for a split second,then I lost sight of it,still heading south.This object was at a very low altitude(just over the condos).[MUFON CMS]
Port Charlotte Diamond-Shaped Object
Port Charlotte, Sept. 2, 2009 As I was driving home, North on Coliseum Blvd, I noticed an object which appeared to be an elongated diamond-shaped box, fairly thick and long. The object was ahead of me, over my road, heading North West. 2 cars sped by, who appeared to be others chasing the item. (A white SUV and a yellow sports car) I followed, driving through the neighborhood. I quickly lost sight, but continued following the other cars, and saw it again, this time headed Southwest. I separated from the other cars (there were 3 by this point, a maroon SUV joined us at some point) and took what I thought was a quicker route, and soon came to a dead end against a canal, to see the object go beyond the trees to the south west. I then headed home, and once I was out of my car in my driveway, I saw a helicopter flying the same path as the object had originally been flying, and then abruptly turned in the south west direction after it had gone further out. (see attachment) When I first saw the object, I didn't know what to think, I just remembered wondering why a plane or a helicopter was so bright. I immediately realized it was moving far too slow for a plane, and with such a quiet neighborhood, I would have expected to hear something. Seeing the other cars chasing it from what seemed to be the direction the object was coming from made me really take a closer look, and noticed the odd glowing bottom which I had at first dismissed as a trick of the light on my windshield or a low cloud. Upon looking at it, there seemed to be lines all over the object, like sharp grooves along the surface, and the bright glowing red center which were three thick arch-shaped points of light that together formed a circle which had gaps between them, appearing almost like supports between each piece. It was the shape of a diamond, but its thickness was probably a sixth of the length, which struck me as oddly thick. There were only very few clouds very high up, far above the constant height of the object.[MUFON CMS}
Brandon Boomerang
Brandon, Sept 7, 2009.I was walking toward my apartment on Monday night, 9/7/09 at about 9:15 PM with my son. I happened to look up because the night was clear and there were a lot of stars. A boomerang shape set of lights was moving directly over our heads and I told my son to look up and as I looked closer I could see the outline of a boomerang shaped object. It silently glided across the sky heading toward the south. It took about 5 seconds before it was blocked from sight by the treeline. [MUFON CMS]
Blue Light Seen Twice in Everglades
Everglades, August 24, 2009. I drive to Miami every couple of months. I live in Clearwater and I usually drive back at night. I have to drive through the everglades to get over to the other side of Florida. If you have never been through there then I will tell you its pitch dark when there’s no other cars around. If I remember correctly I drove down there in the end of December maybe the beginning of Jan. I was just driving there and back. I just moved to Clearwater from there and was getting the rest of my things. It had to be like 12:30 on a Friday or Sat night. I remember it was a weekend so at that time there were no other cars driving in the everglades b/c everybody has already made it to their destination for the weekend. So I was driving and it was really foggy but right above not even a hundred feet up is this object with huge big lights. I have never seen lights this big and I have never seen lights that had a glow like this. As I drove under it I was kinda in shock but then I watched it in my rearview mirror it was still sitting in the same spot hovering. It was not moving at all. I don’t know of any aircraft on this planet that sits in one spot like that. Now this time I was driving home this past Monday around 1 am so I guess you could say Tuesday. And What do you know I see the same freaking object but this time I really seen it! It was on the other side of the road and it was hovering again. I know I am not crazy and this time I almost had a heart attack! At this point I don’t really care what anyone thinks. What are the chances to see that even once and I seen it twice. I'm telling you I am so scared to drive through there ever again. I had to drive over 100 mph to get out of there as soon as I could just so I felt safe. I was about 40 minutes into the everglades both times. Its really scary because your phones don’t work out there and there are never any cops out there its just you and the everglades. But I will tell you its real what I saw. And this time the object was brave it didn't care who seen it. It was hovered over the road and this time there where cars on the road and they all where driving right underneath it. I mean I guess you could just drive under it but I'm sure if you seen it when your driving that fast you might not pay attention.[MUFON CMS]
Port St. Joe Object Stops, Disappears
Port St. Joe, August 24, 2009. Witness described occurrence as follows: Witness walks through his quiet neighborhood every night before retiring. Sometimes, his wife walks with him. On Monday, August 24, 2009, he was by himself. Witness was walking near Brake Park in the Highland View section of Port Saint Joe at approximately 10:30 pm. Out of the corner of his eye, he 'thought' he saw a low flying plane approaching him from the south east. Witness looked in the direction the object was coming from at a very high rate of speed and realized that it was not a plane at all. The object stopped abruptly about 75' away from him, and about 100' above the tops of the trees (approx. 150-200' in the air). Object stayed there long enough for witness to get a good description of it before it took off in what he described as a 'nano-second ... just poof disappeared' in the same direction it was originally heading from southeast to northwest. He said that object was much larger than an aspirin held at arms length and was larger than a mini-van. Witness described the object to look 'like a mini-van without wheels' with three floor to ceiling windows. There were lights in the windows, the middle light/window being the brightest. No sounds were heard, no beings were seen.
Yellow-White Orb Makes U-Turn
Tampa, July 17, 2009. On that night, I came out side to look around before bed as I always do. I always look at the sky for a while . As I was looking up a bright yellow to white orb came out of nowhere right above me moving from east to west. The sky was crystal clear and there were no lights around, you can really see the stars from here. There were a few very small high level clouds in the sky, I knew they were high up because they seemed small compared to the stars. by the way there is no air traffic around here. The orb moved in a easterly direction as I watched. It approached one of these little clouds, passed it by what looked like an inch from the ground, and the abruptly turned in a hairpin-like move incapable by any aircraft, and went inside this small cloud, and was gone I watched it for a long time astonished at what I had seen..[MUFON CMS]
Orange Object Like Fire Vero Beach
Vero Beach August 28 and 29, 2009. On 8/28/09 and 8/29/09 my wife and I saw a glowing orange ball of light almost like fire because it was emitting sparks a little bit. Keep in mind we live next to an airport and are use to seeing airplanes. I was a deputy for 5 years and my wife was a jailer so we are used to reporting things in detail.The light moved from the southwest to the north east. Last night it was exactly 55 minutes after the space shuttle went off.. It emitted a steady amber glow and sometimes would get real bright and spark like fire. That is the best way I can describe it..Is it possible we are seeing something else like a satellite or space station? Both times there was no noise at all and it kept a steady pace and then just would vanish completely.There were also a few others on the same street of mine that wwew watching this object in wonder.The first night we tried to catch it on camera but of course the batteries were dead. We will try to be ready to capture it again if we can. [MUFON CMS]
Two Reddish Lights Near Clearwater
July 26, 2009. Object was almost the intensity of Venus, but reddish/orange. It was traveling southeast just a little faster than an airplane. The object became just as bright ...if not brighter than Venus, almost like a fireball, then started traveling upwards as the light rapidly dimmed away. Several minutes later (approx. 10min), it happened again with an object traveling from direct west. going direct east, ending with the same result.[MUFON CMS]
Wesley Chapel Blue Light Triangle
Wesley Chapel July 17, 2009. At 11:42 pm 7/17/2009, my neighbor knocked on my door. It was unusual because it was really late so I thought it was an emergency. She said "sorry to bother you so late, but my husband is in the back yard looking at some weird lights in the sky and thought you might want to see them too." I then said "ok, I'm out back right now." I then opened up my sliding glass door to go to the lanai and I looked up in the eastern sky at about 45 degrees, or the 1 o'clock position, and saw a triangular object in the sky moving from left to right and back left and up and down and it surely didn't look like anything I've ever seen in my life. I then ran back into the house to wake up my wife, who is the biggest UFO skeptic that I know, and said "Wake up! Wake up! You've got to come outside and see this thing!!" She said "No, I've to go to sleep, I have to work in the morning!" I preceded to say "You have to see this thing in the sky, just trust me, you have to come out and see this!" I then looked for our camera, a Casio exilim 10.1 mega pixel camera, and went back outside with my dog and started recording footage of this thing in the sky. I walked over to my neighbors house and we, three of us, watched this thing for 2 and a half hours. My neighbor had binoculars and a telescope, but it was easier to use the binoculars to see the silhouette of this object. It was moving in different patterns, but generally stayed in the eastern sky moving from left to right in a pendulum type pattern, but it would also moved westward a little bit, but still remained at the 1 o'clock to 1:30 position in the sky. If you held a dime towards the sky, the size was a little smaller than the dime. It seemed to be about 1000-3000 feet in the sky hovering over I-75 near SR 54. The feelings I felt was "what the heck is that?" We sat on some chairs and watched this thing for a couple hours. I started to feel really sleepy so I went back inside the house to go to sleep, but I kept checking out my window because I wanted to see where this thing will go once it's done hovering over Wesley Chapel, FL. I found my other battery that was fully charged so I went back outside for a few more minutes and filmed one more video. I don't know what we saw, but it wasn't a plane. Matter of fact, we saw 2 planes fly by that night, one was flying from East to Southwest. We heard the sounds of the engines as it came closer to us and as it flew past us. The sounds were evident even when the plane seemed to be further to us than the triangular object in the sky. The next plane fly past us from South to North and you could also hear it as it flew past us. But this object made no sounds at all. The night sky was very clear and there was no or very little wind that night.[MUFON CMS]
Stationary Boomerang Near Melbourne
Melbourne Aug. 16, 2008 We were driving northbound on I-95 early Saturday morning going on vacation. I was in the passenger seat looking out the window towards the east (ocean). I noticed a black boomerang, oddly shaped object high in the sky not moving. It was completely stationary and up pretty high in the sky (it was definitely NOT a kite). Just when I noticed it NOT moving I noticed a small crop plane flying around it. Probably checking the thing out......Oh if I could find that pilot. I was able to take 3 pictures of it while we were driving, they aren't great, but I did catch it. I lost sight of it because we were driving away from it. My oldest son in the back seat saw it too.
Boca Green Light
Boca Raton, July 6, 2009. Around 9 P.M. a friend called me to come outside. There was a green light in the sky, but it was too close to be a star. It was moving side-to-side and hovering, like nothing I have ever seen before. I jumped in my car and drove to its location. It was a green glowing diamond shaped object, about 100ft above us, floating. We watched and took pictures as more bystanders showed up. It slowly started to move NE. Then all of a sudden it shot 30 ft east in seconds. It was unbelievable. We watched it move half a block east then come to a stop. A police officer eventually showed up and asked us what we were doing. He saw the object also and had no idea what it was. Around this time we saw a white wire sticking out of both ends of this UFO. I have no pictures of it though. It eventually went very high in the sky and slowly faded away. It was the strangest thing I have ever seen. Monday night I was driving west on SW 18th Street in Boca Raton to pick my family up at my brother’s home in the area and I noticed a “different” light in the sky. What caught my eye is that the angle changed as I was driving. That’s what first increased my interest. There was a car behind me so I turned north on Isabella and stopped the car. I got out of my car and observed something really incredible. After a few minutes a jogger came by and when I pointed it out to him, he got a little freaked out. It was also on the news: http://www.wptv.com/content/news/topstories/story/UFO-sighting-Boca-Raton/qpCoN5VF1EikXsSKw5yLpQ.cspx [MUFON CMS; under investigation]
Miami Orange UFO Near Tamiami Airport
Miami, July 8, 2009. It was approximately 9:15 EST clear sky with the moon in the east. I was walking my dog in my neighborhood heading west and listening to music on a bluetooth headset linked to my G phone. I looked up and noticed an orange reddish cone shaped light over our neighborhood coming from the west heading E-SE. It was bright and glowed orangish red. What made me take another look was the fact that it made no noise. I just stood there staring at it as it headed closer. Since it was clear and almost overhead I had a hard time gauging the distance in the picture I took.
Since I live about 3 miles from the Tamiami Executive airport I see planes and helicopters all the time. I was also in the USAF (many years ago) and I am very familiar with aircraft navigation lights. This bore no resemblance to that as it had no blinkies or other lights in a normal configuration. It was more like a shimmering orange top or inverted cone that was red on the bottom or something.[MUFON CMS]
Englewood, June 10, 2009 Around 8:30 we saw the first one. Our neighbor happened to be outside at the time,and she watched it with us.From that point forward they never stopped coming. It seemed every 10 minutes we would see one. Just a bit after the Hubbell flew over we saw two nice ones that were following the same path and same speed. Altogether we saw around 12 of them We did not keep track, so that a low guess.[MUFON CMS]
Ft. Myers Aliens
Ft. Myers, April-May 2009. My son saw two aliens from his bedroom window, a grey and a reptilian. It was hard to believe him but he was so sincere. He saw them several times through the month of April and May. I got nervous about it and kept door locked but about 1 AM on the 16 of May I checked the back door and it was not locked It opened when I checked it. In the morning this foot print was out side the back door. I must have startled it as you can see dirt flew up as it moved quickly to its left. It had rained we had had a drought and it left it's print.I am going to try and send photos.. I also have a plaster of Paris cast with BIG claws, a foot like a chicken 3 claws in front one in back, or like an eagle, but it has a foot shape too behind the back claw with a heel. Notice the dirt it threw up to the side as it leaped sideways.Also it has jumped up on our roof 3 times; once we heard it. Three prints are in the front where it just jumped right up.
St. Petersburg Metallic Spinning "Doughnut"
St. Petersburg, May 2, 2009 Driving to work on Sat. May 2nd, noticed a very bright shiny light, it was a clear blue sky day. As I continued to observe the object I noticed that it wasn't any conventional type of aircraft (because for the first minute or so that was what I was trying to identify it as). Then upon closer viewing notice it was rotating from top to bottom. It was approximately. 10-15K in altitude and about a quarter inch in size from my extended arm.
Ft. Lauderdale Red Light
Ft. Lauderdale, April 21, 2009 Around 10.30 Pm. I went out to smoke and I saw a strange red light coming from north EST going south west passing over south Fort Lauderdale and north Hollywood it was only a big and strong red light, no flashing but more like fading in and out (not like a regular red strobe on a plane) but slowly fading in and out. I did not heard any noise. There was no green and with strobe altitude about 3000-5000 feet. speed about 250 miles per hours. I lost the view blocking by some trees all the sighting stand for about 30 second. [MUFON CMS]
Tampa Brightly Lighted Disk Shape
Tampa, March 18, 2009I was watching the TV show HOUSE and an unusual bright light caught my eye I looked out the window and said no this can't be what I think it is but after continuing to watch my show the light did not go away so my camera was on the end table in the living room so finally I could not ignore the brightness and went out on the patio to look and I snapped a couple of photos and I began videoing the object however the screen on my patio prohibited any good video. I was using a Kodak camera. This went on for about an hour and fifteen minuets at which time it then started having red, yellow and green lights going round and round and then it became dimmer and just disappeared ( did not fly away ) just disappeared has never been there before this night and has not been back.[MUFON CMS]

Tarpon Springs Disk Shape on Photo
Tarpon Springs April 8, 2009. I was photographing an eagle with my Nikon Digital and 500mm lens. I've always haphazardly shot photos of airplanes passing...especially with the telephoto - it really pulls them in closer. I shot one photo of a jet, then another photo less than 2 seconds after. I didn't know what kind it was until I downloaded in on my computer. The first photo shows the jet with blue sky all around and some spots that were on my lens. Then I looked at the second photo...without thinking I cropped it closer to get a better look (deleted the originals off the camera). The object I saw was puzzling because in the photo shot seconds before...nothing. I don't think it's possible for that object to have appeared in 2 seconds from that great distance. It does resemble the back end of a fighter jet with the afterburners...but still Impossible for it to be there that fast. Since it the photo was shot with a 500mm from a great distance, the clarity isn't there, but still it's a curiosity! [MUFON CMS,Analysis pictures below]
Cantonment Flying Bus and Circles
Cantonment March 9, 2009. It came from the northwest and headed southeast, first one large rectangle white lights red flashing on rear, rounded on front and rear. three others were circles, disk-like red and white lights, 3 headed southeast, one headed east. The one headed east had white lights in the center and red around the disk, white lights went out and red lights started moving almost like light chaser Christmas lights. One of the small ones looked like it was doing acrobatics. I was taking my garbage can to the road around 9:00 p.m.; it was a very clear night with a bright moon and I was just looking at the sky when I saw a large object coming from the northwest. 3 more followed within the next 30 minutes, one very large and 2 smaller ones. It was exciting, I called my nephew to ask him to get on his computer and see if it was the International Space Station, because I had seen it on February 14th, but this was much larger and closer. He said I should not be able to see it until 5:30 am the next morning.[MUFON CMS]
St. Augustine Cylinder, Triangles, Balls of Light
St. Augustine February 26, 2009. The witness and his girl friend went to St. Augustine beach because he felt that he would see a UFO there. He had been having flu-like symptoms but felt compelled to go. At 3:30 the two stood on the beach watching a blinking light move rapidly across the sky. They then witnessed a huge cigar-shaped craft estimated at 50 to 100 miles across, followed by four triangular shaped ones for one or two minutes, and then a series balls of light in different formations. The witness estimated about 40 to 60 balls were seen. All of the objects and lights were moving south to north all at the same speed near the Atlantic Ocean over the course of an hour. Many airplanes and helicopters were in the area, but seemed not disturbed by the objects. There were no reports in the morning papers about any of the UAVs. The next morning four or five whales were seen outside the hotel close to the beach. After the sighting the witness' flu symptoms had disappeared and he felt and slept well.
Miami Silver Orb
Miami, February 14, 2009. I was in the passenger seat driving through coconut grove when I saw a shiny silver orb/sphere object in the sky at a distance. The skies were a clear blue so the object stood out. I saw it over the trees but when we passed taller trees it became shielded. However as we drove forward and were past the tall trees, the object was no longer visible. If it had been a regular aircraft, it should have remained traveling in one direction or another as we passed the tress, but this one just disappeared completely from view.[MUFON CMS]
Hollywood Bright Sphere on Photo
Hollywood, February 14, 4:42 P.M.I was trying a new camera and took some photos of the sky the day before and photographed airplanes passing above my balcony. The next day I was at the balcony smoking a cigarette and saw this light coming from south to north over the sea to my left (East). I grabbed the camera and took 3 photos, it was fast. I downloaded and what I saw was just a smudge, but I saw something odd! I'm attaching the pictures maybe with some software you can see it better, Thanks.[MUFON CMS]
Venice UFO Stops, Takes Off
Venice, February 7, 2009. I saw about six UFOs out of our atmosphere. Two went southwest three went west and one went north. Then one that I've seen low to the ground several times almost came over me and my son with what looked like a round yellowish light, then stopped. A different light came on and looked fiery then took off, going up almost were you can't even see it. [MUFON CMS]
Miami Silver Bell
Coral Gables February 4. 2009. I was driving down Riviera Drive and I happen to randomly look up at the clear baby blue sky. There were many birds flying around. Then I saw a very shinny silvery object that was not moving. It looked like a giant gum drop from afar. Or rather a bell shape object. I continued driving and then my view was blocked by a tree then I was able to see it again after I passed the tree and it moved quickly to the right and then out of no where, it disappeared. There were no clouds or airplanes in the sky. I was surprised at first. I wasn't scared or worried. I just accepted it.[MUFON CMS]
Large Rectangle with Blue Lights over Miami
Miami. January 13, 2009. Two brothers and two friends were driving home from a meeting at Florida International University at 1:00 AM. They were heading West on S.W. 72nd Street (Sunset Drive). One brother, who was driving noticed the object first. He said that it was so massive that it occupied 1/4 of the sky. He saw what appeared to be blue stars blinking around the edge of the object and pulled the car over and the men got out to look at the object. It was moving from Southeast to Northwest. Chris said it was rectangular or oval shaped. Brian described the object as floating at a slanted angle the thickness of a house. He said that he could not see the stars through the object and described it as "camouflaged" but with flickering blue lights around it. He felt panicky when he saw the object, but on recovering sent a text message to a friend in Homestead (about 20 miles south). Chris said the object was "as large as a football field". The other brother said it was "as long as Dolphin Mall". Both said that the object made no sound and moved slowly across the sky. The second brother had a previous sighting, also in Miami on 152nd Avenue between S.W. 72nd St.and S.W. 56th Street. It was of three orange lights, all the size of the full moon in a triangular formation. It kept moving north. The others in the car were shocked and confused and one suffered a panic attack.

Deerfield Black Oval 50 Ft. Long
Deerfield January 12, 2009.I was working on a house, in Deerfield beach. I was at the same location three days prior,and saw two UFOs.This time,I brought a pair of binoculars,and a spotting scope with me.I was only on the job five minutes,and was looking out to the ocean. I saw an oval shaped, black object shoot out of the ocean, move on a radius,and go back into the ocean. It must have been about a half mile out,and went fifty to one hundred feet in the air. After I saw the object,I was pretty scared. I didn't even want to turn my back to the ocean,. I did turn my back to the ocean, and started to get organized to work.[MUFON CMS]
Three Lights Over Miami University
Miami. January 1, 2009 to present. For the past six months I have seen (3) lights about 1000 ft in the sky over the University of Miami . They continue to move in circles around the University and I have even sat in my car and watched them move to let airplanes go by. I know that the lights are not planes, they move in circles. I have seen them many times and I always know they are around when I see Helicopters in the area. Please if anyone lives in Miami take a look and you will see.[MUFON CMS]
St. Mark's Refuge Triangle
St. Mark's Refuge. January 16, 2009. At St. Marks wildlife Refuge facing the Gulf /bay I noticed airplane moving at a high rate of speed . I looked around and then looked almost straight up and noticed the triangle. I took a picture of it , took picture of aircraft flying at high speed , looked back at triangle it was gone . I am sending the high-def picture so when you enlarge it you will see what I'm talking about . I use Olympus e500 8 megpix with zuiko 70-300 zoom . I have gone back Saturday and Sunday and haven't seen it any more .
Port St. Lucie Lights
Port St. Lucie January 16, 2009. Over two nights a total of fifty items.
Flagler County Low Flying Triangle
Flagler County January 20, 2009 Last night at dusk, directly above my yard just above the trees, a craft with blinking red lights , approximately 8 of them, shaped like a V, like a boomerang shape outlined by the lights, came out of nowhere. It was very clear and still light out, just at dusk and I was observing Venus in the SW and Sirius in the SE. Moments before there was nothing in the sky; I'm sure because I was amazed at how clear it was. Then suddenly this object was there right above me moving very slowly , I thought it was a plane at first but it was odd.. I couldn't SEE the body of it although it was right there about 20 ft above me and not quite dark , I couldn't see the sky or any stars through it either, so something was there but nothing I could make out. It was like lights on a shadow. I couldn't understand what I was seeing the whole time for about 3 minutes. It was right there and moving very slowly but all I could really 'see' were the red lights blinking. I was stunned and frozen there but not really afraid , kind of in a daze .. no one was home (of course) to share this with .. It was moving sooo slowly , I kept trying to focus on it to see what it was , that's the odd part. If it was a plane that close I could have seen the pilot or windows or something ! It took so long to move; 3 minutes to cross my yard (150ft). Then it went over my neighbor's house and then just disappeared. A plane would have been easily visible for miles going in that direction (East toward the Ocean). There has never been a plane here that low or ever one moving in that direction and I look at the sky a lot ! There was a whooshing sound which didn't make sense to me. It seems that something that large and close would make a much louder and different sound. It didn't seem that the sound was actually connected with it.. very hard to explain..[MUFON CMS]
St. Lucie Lights
St. Lucie January 16, 2009. At about 8 PM I was out running and bright lights caught my attention. For the next 2 hours I watched up to 27 bright red and orange slow moving lights follow the same flight path from North to South. I could not hear ANY sound from the objects. This makes me think that It was not a normal aircraft. The Lights were intense so I could not make out any clear shape of the actual object. I eventually saw up to 5 objects together moving along the same path. This whole process went on for approx. 2 Hours then it stopped. My neighbors witnessed the same event. They tried to take some digital pictures. A few young people stopped and observed the same lights and promptly called 911 to report the UFO. I was very excited to see a UFO finally and to see several was great!
Hollywood Flashing Triangle
Hollywood, January 11, 2009. I am not a UFO person. I do not believe in UFOs or aliens or all that abduction nonsense but what I recently saw scared the hell out of me. I woke up at about 4 am and decided to go to the local 24hr drugstore to get some snacks. I usually don't go out this late but my neighborhood is pretty safe and quiet so I didn't think much of it. I was walking down the street, which is fully lit with street lamps and security lights so I wasn't thinking about anything weird happening when I saw it. It was a huge, disc like object hovering in the sky with multiple lights flashing. I ignored it immediately, thinking it was a plane and just kept going on my way. A few seconds later, I look up and see this thing flying back and forth, making turns that I know no plane can make and still I'm not thinking anything unusual. I keep walking toward the store when I see a parked police car on the corner. The officer is outside his car looking up at this thing that is just all over the place, making maneuvers that seem impossible and flashing brightly colored lights before hovering at a dead stop. The officer and I stop and stare in amazement at this thing, whatever it was in the sky before it suddenly took this dramatic vertical takeoff until we could no longer see it. This was one of the weirdest things I'd ever seen, and I'm still trying to shake this off. Again, I do not believe in UFOs and there's a part of me that wants to believe this was a plane but I don't know.
Crystal River Six Orange Lights
January 10, 2009. Sitting around a firepit last evening at approx. 10:30 p,m. we observed 6 very orange roundish lights high in the sky moving from south to north and appeared to be almost as high as an airplane would appear to be flying overhead. Their movement was very steady and they were not real close together so there didn't seem to be any particular formation. The moon was very bright and full so we were admiring it when we saw them. The six of us all stood mesmerized by this sighting. By the time I ran up stairs and into the house and found my camera and found the way to turn off the flash they were going out of sight. I would say we observed them for approx. 5 minutes.
Naples Large Silent Orange/Red Object
Naples, Dec 31, 2008. Observed very bright round/oval light which was vibrant orange/red in color. It was extremely low on horizon as I first noticed it move very slowly from the west (over Gulf of Mexico) towards the east as I sat in my condo on the lanai facing west. There was very light low cloud cover at the time. This object did not blink on and off, but rather "pulsed" very slowly as it moved towards us. It was below the clouds and therefore quite low to the ground. No shape was discernable other than the bright orange/red glow it gave off. The object moved directly towards my condo building extremely slowly, pausing a bit, and then continuing eastward towards us. As it came directly overhead it slowed. The eerie thing was that there was absolutely NO sound whatsoever. It then moved straight up through the cloud above it, again with no sound, only the pulsing of the orange/red glow. This was also seen by my wife, daughter and son-in-law. We ran outside immediately but could not see the object no matter where we looked.[MUFON CMS]
Stealth Shaped UFO Seen One Minute Before the New Year
Panama City Dec. 31, 2008 -- On New Year's Eve,
December 31, 2008, at 11:59 PM, I saw what I first thought was a shooting star, but that
was traveling fast horizontally toward the ocean. Then while over ocean the light slowed
down considerably then kind of hovered and then disappeared. I viewed the circular white
object almost five minutes. What was strange is it started out as a streak like a meteor
then changed to a solid object about the size of a star or planet then hovered in my
direction and disappeared. Comments: Given the description by the witness I
have no explanation for what was seen. Thanks to William Puckett UFOs Northwest http://ufosnw.com
Northern Lake County Jan, 3, 2009 -- On January 3, 2009, at 9:00 PM, driving home heading east on Griffin View Drive I noticed an object also heading east. There were three round lights at the tip of each wing, with one on the tail. As we drove we noticed it was flying very low and slowly and we were directly underneath it. It was stealth shaped and we were able to see through the underbelly and the cockpit. Thanks to Brian Vike Director of HBCC UFO Research http://www.hbccufo.org/
Miami Round, Metallic Object
Hialeah, Fl Jan. 2, 2009. I was driving in 26 W Okeechobee Rd, Hialeah, FL, south in the front passenger seat to Miami Beach for a work related issue, I was looking at an airplane when I saw a cloud in the far south change from white to yellow and back to white... It looked interesting so I continued looking when out of nowhere I started to notice something. At first I thought it was a bird... but it was coming toward me; as it got closer I did not notice any winds or anything related to a bird. I thought it was a balloon but then balloons do not stay in the same position and moving north, to my knowledge, they keep going up and up, but this was definitively not going up but north in the same altitude... when it got closer it looked like a circular metallic object, the bottom part was dark so as the sun was hitting the top side... as I kept looking at the object it looked like it was hovering really low..[MUFON CMS]
