Military hiding UFO at training camp. As I was driving towards Camp Blanding (a military traing camp) I saw a ball of light. The light pulsated from bright to dim.
I followed the light till I couldn't go any further because the road ended at Camp Blanding. I has to turn either left or right. I turned right and went ahead towards Jacksonville.
As I watched the object it decended down below the trees probably a mile or so away. I could still see the lights through the trees when it went bright. The next morning, as I was driving home, I seen armed guards at every back gate to the camp.
I have never seen any soldiers in the thousand times I have drove by it before. There where Humvee's driving parameter patrols as well. I am certain that our military has already made contact but won't share it with the rest of the world.

UFO checked us out on the water at night while cruising to Miami, Oct 1992 My husband and I were returning home on our 28' boat from a trip to the florida keys. We had just past Elliot Key at about sunset and were heading north to Miami. We were just cruising at a slow pace past the inlet before Key Biscaine when my husband said, "What is that light following us?" It was very dark at this point and I looked way up and back and saw a light above us.
It was a strange light as it didn't have any glare and didn't seem to be connected to anything. There was no noise as from a ship or a plane or helicopter. The light just kept getting closer and closer and bigger and bigger.
I could look straight into it without any it hurting my eyes. The whole boat was engulfed in light as it came right up on us. My husband kept getting quite excited and screaming, "What is it? See if you can make anything out.
" I thought I could see an outline of something, but there was no noise as if a craft were approaching. No red or green lights, no propeller sounds.nothing.
Just the sound of our boat cruising and my husband screaming. I said, "Just hit it, just get out of here!!" I was afraid a large ship was upon us or something. My husband hit the throttle and I braced myself for the thrust of the boat.
As I did this, the light flew up into the sky as fast as lightning and we could see it moving into the galaxy farther and farther away. We have told few people about this incident as we don't want to look like nuts. But we both know for sure that a UFO was checking us out.
We went back the next day to see where we were exactly--we found a marker we passed along the way--there is nothing out there.nothing. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that date of incident is approximate.
PD)).

During a road trip to Panama City a friend and I witnessed a pair of luminous light formations appear and dissappear over the Gulf. This was years ago, so my memory of exact times and dates may be assumed to be a "best guess" but all details of the objects, and their behavior are still completely clear in my mind. A close friend and I had been working our tails off all year without a break, as we were both enrolled in the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and he(my friend) was also employed as the assistant to the broadcasting(mass comm) department(in which I was taking classes at the time), and in addition we produced a public access cable show in our spare time, which there was little of.
In short, we needed a break, and thought it would make an interesting show if we documented ourselves winning the florida state lottery, so we used the show as an excuse for a road trip, and took one of the department's cameras with us (no, we didn't expect to win, but if we had it would've made great television). So after a long drive from Birmingham, and a long afternoon of filling out lottery tickets, neither of us wanted to drive back, so we found a cheap motel, and put away our stuff to stay the night. It was about 4:00 or 5:00 in the afternoon when we both went out to the beach behind our hotel, and plopped down into a pair of those wooden beach chairs, and admired the calm sea, making small talk as the sun sank to the horizon.
I don't recall which of us saw it first, because at first we didn't think anything of it, as there had been planes in the sky all day, and this seemed at the outset to be just an oddly-colored set of airplane lights. Although after about 15 or 20 minutes the lights hadn't moved, and we both took notice then. There were two rows of lights, the top row was an arc of four (reddish-violet in color)and were larger (not brighter) than the bottom row of three (bright yellow) they were arranged like this: O O .

08/24/92 at 23:00 in Pinecrest FL. wife and I were out on our pooldeck and saw a sauser like object It was the evening following Hurricane Andrew in South FL. We had no electric so we slept out on the pool deck on lounge chairs.
I fell asleep first and my wife woke me up and asked what was that overhead. I woke up and saw a saucer shaped craft with what looked like a cabin underneath it with 8 or 10 rectangular windows and an orange light coming from the windows underneath. The sky was 100% clear and when I blinked my eyes it was gone.
No sound, nothing. I turned to my wife and asked her what she saw and she described exactly what I saw. We lived at XXXX SW 104 St.
Pinecreat, FL 33156 I checked the newpaper and asked neighbors but no one reported or saw anything. I was with the sheriff's Dept. at the time and no one reported anything.
I thought I had better go on record now to see if you got any reports that night.

During Space Shuttle Atlantis flight STS-46. an object can be seen in background moving horizontally and then upwards. As can bee seen in accompanying Youtube video: an object can be seen in background moving from left hand side to the screen to the right hand side and then moving upwards.
An important caveat: At one point a flock of birds, spooked by the noise of the space shuttle, flies towards the left hand side of the image. By doing so, the birds appearance obscure the image of the object previously stated. Thus the object is clearly in the background and not something on the camera lens, which could be thought of as an explanation due to its erratic movements.
-Points of Interest in Video pertaining to unknown object: -29 second mark: Appearance of object can be seen as video moves away from rockets firing to a broader frontal view of the Shuttle -33-34 second mark: Flock of birds moving across the vantage point from left of center to right shows the unknown object is in the background -35 second mark: unknown object moves upwards enough to escape camera shot Thanks for your time.

PEMBROKE PINES FLORIDA. DISC SHAPED ORANGE CRAFT. SILENT AN SLOW MOVING UFO Sighting Friday July 3rd 1992 On Friday evening, July 3rd 1992 I invited a number of guests to enjoy a Pool-Party with neighbors of mine.
We lived in Pembroke Pines Florida near Ft Lauderdale. At around dusk, which was probably around 7:00 pm, I heard my neighbors who were in my back yard yelling for me to come outside as a UFO was passing directly over my yard. As I came out, I was stunned to see the brightest orange object I have ever seen in my life.
The craft was flying several thousand feet in the air. The size of the object was about 50 to 75 feet across. The object was disc-shaped.
The color orange was so bright; you could not make out any details of the bottom of the craft. The craft made absolutely no noise and was cruising rather slowly in a north-to south direction. Upon realizing this, I quickly called my brother who lived due south of me in Miami to run outside with his video camera to capture this incredible sight.
Unfortunately, when I called, my brother was not home. The local Miami FOX news channel however, did receive video footage of this event and broadcasted it the next day. If you want any further information of this sighting please call me at 206-((number deleted)) Not that this should matter, but I am a certified helicopter pilot with excellent vision and acuity.
I would consider myself to be a better than average witness. Regards, ((name and telephone number deleted)).

the object would stop move at fast speed in straight line stop again and travelled at right angles early 1990s during a night shuttle shot i and two other persons witnessed a circle of light (like a dot) above where shuttle was to ascend. the bright lite moved in straight lines moving extremely fast. it would come to sudden stops then move quickly up down and across in straight lines it desappeared after approximate 5 minutes of movement ((NUFORC Note: Date is unknown.
We have invited the witness to look at a list of night launches for the Shuttle, and attempt to pin down the date more accurately. PD)).

Looked up to see a rectangular shaped object floating above me, it was the size of a football field. I know it has been several years, however this event will never leave my memory. I lived on 6acres of land, surrounded by trees and my neighbors were also several acres away.
There were no street lights of any kind. I worked 2 jobs and was leaving for what they call the midnight shift at a convience store in Gainesville. As i was backing out of my yard and going forward to the dirt path/road thru the field (which had not been mowed for sometime, and was taller than me)i got chills going up my spine.
I felt like i was being watched, but it was so dark out and with no lights,you can't see what is out in the fields. I do not know why i did what i did next, i turned my car off, opened the door, got out and looked up. I was in awe at what i was seeing.
This craft was rectangular in shape and had to be the size of a football field. It seemed so close, i almost felt i could reach out and touch it. Not one sound came from this object and it had about 6/8 dull>non flashing red lights on the bottom.
We just sat there and watched each other for about 3/4 minutes (yes, i knew they could see me, just can't explain how i know). It then started moving NE very slowly not making a sound. How could something that large not make a sound.
I kept watching them leave, when all of sudden, it went from slow to gone with a flash of light. Of course no one believed me. Then about 1yr later, and i thought i was dreaming.
I was standing outside by my electric pole, watching this same craft leave. I did not want it to leave, for whatever reasons i do not know, i was saddened by its departure. I could smell the crisp morning air and feel the dew on my feet>>it was so real.
The next thing i know, I am waking up in my bed, but my feet are covered with dirt and the little black seeds from the grass, like it was not a dream after all. Over the next several yrs, i had multiple pregnancies,and i mean multiple,2 miscarriages, 4 live, 3 aborted, the other 5 not sure where they went. Pregnant 2/3 months along, then not pregnant with a little spotting.

Around the light itself, a cloud like bubble formed that was shaped like an egg. I was living in Middleburg Florida directly off of State Road 218 right inbetween Mallard road and Nolan road. It was June of 1992, and my family was sitting on the porch talking as they would do often.
I and my two cousins were in the next door neighbors backyard playing with their dog. I happened to look southeast and see a light in the sky, which looked a lot like a star, just a bit brighter than most. I dismissed it at first and continued playing around.
We lived in-between two Navy bases, Cecil Field and NAS JAX, so we were used to seeing planes and things flying by. After my older cousin had stopped and took notice of this light we all three stopped to study it. It seemed to be moving across the sky towards the northeast.
We ran from the neighbors yard to edge of my yard to get a better look, and in the process of running without taking our eyes off of the light, we all three ran into the fence which was barbed-wire (barbed-wire is almost invisible to see at dusk anyways). When we reached the edge of my yard we just stood motionless staring at this light travel across the sky very slowly. It then did something I have never heard of before.
Around the light itself, a sparkling, cloud-like bubble formed that was shaped like an egg. It traveled with the light for a small time matching its movements perfectly. The light then left the cloud, and the cloud disappeared very slowly.
After the two were separated the light moved about very spuratically across the sky in normal UFO fashion then disappeared completely. The sighting must have lasted at least 25 minutes. Just like in the movies, coincidence or not, at least 10 military helicopters showed up in the sky headed in the direction of the UFO right after it disappeared.

Summary : An very similar sighting to the one reported over Phoenix this year happened over Jacksonville in 1992. On the early morning of June 15, 1992 while lounging in a swimming pool with my cousin and father, my cousin first noted seeing the formation. He gasped in disbelief when he (we) saw an approaching string of large white lights coming at us from the west heading to the east directly over the city of Jacksonville FL.
The row of lights (7 or 8) were evenly spaced and at the same hieght. As they approached us they went straight up into the sky and while going up formed the shape of a large "V". The "V" continued to go straight up into the sky until it was almost completed out of sight when a flash of light from either the horizon or ground shot up at the formation in an waverly line followed by a second streak of light.
We all sat there dumbfounded by the sighting. My cousin who is a pilot stated that the light formation was not that of any plane over the US. and the entire time the formation made no heard sound.
We all three never really pushed the issue until I had seen film footage of the sighting over Phoenix this year and what was filmed was almost exactly what we had seen. Now I believe.

Back in 1992 I was workin at a dining facility on the Naval Base in Orlando, Florida. One morning, I had to call in sick but because I was ill and was barely awake at 4:30 AM, I mis-dialed the number (which I have forgotten since then). What I heard on the phone shocked and confused me.
It was a pre-recorded female voice sayin something like "Please enter your star classification code and your password and a UFO destruction team will be out to your site immediately." I cannot remember exactly now but I'm sure it was very close to that. To be sure I wasn't hearing wrong I re-dialed the number and got the same message.
Later that morning, I dialed the number so my brother could hear it and again so my mom could hear it. Sure enuff they heard the same thing. How odd.
One might think it was someone's answering machine but it sounded too clear and there was no mention of leaving a message at the beep. A prank maybe? Who could have known I'd call in sick to work at 4:30 AM? I'm almost sure that message was legit. I've been wondering since if anyone else has had this or a similar experience.
Please e-mail me. ((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate. PD)).

UFO Saucer was seen hovering beyond trees as we were driving towards home and then disappeared. I was riding with my Grandmother from high school one bright spring day and we were going down the street where my house is located on. We were one block from my house when the radio started messing up.
Now, my Grandmother had only AM Radio, but the reception was never this bad. Then, my Grandmother noticed something very odd in the sky beyond the trees. She alerted my attention to it and I was shocked when I saw it.
It was the biggest thing I had ever seen. It was in the typical UFO shape, but this one had like a half-dome on the bottom of it. I have included a link to the image of it HERE.
We didn't think anything of it and she finished taking me home. Well, she soon forgot about it, but I didn't and I kept reminding her of the encounter. She didn't want me to keep mentioning it until, a few days later, she called me over to her house and she showed me a newspaper article where some people reported a sighting in Lake City, Florida only a few days after we saw that UFO in TAMPA, FLORIDA! ((NUFORC Note: Time and date are approximate.
