Florida UFO Sightings in 1994

Full Report Text:

Huge mothership I was traveling up from central Florida to a job interview and to establish a new residence in Tallahassee. It was very sunny at the time with puffy cumulus clouds. I was in a rural area in the Big Bend or bending part of the west coast going up into the Panhandle area on US 19.

I was excited, as I had intuition that I would land the job, and just slightly nervous. I looked to the left where there was a brightly lit field where the sun had just broken through a cloud. Very shortly thereafter, I looked to the left again and saw a very unusual sight.

In the same cloud group where the sun had broken through, with rays gleaming down, was another large beam of the same white/gold light. I puzzled over this as there is only one sun. The beams were equally strong as the sun's.

Although I was not concerned about what I was seeing-just very interested, I was worried about some government person or people seeing me notice this, as I was going into a government job. Not a job classified as important, but one where I would be working around important people. So, I casually pulled off the road, not braking hard, but as if I had to consult a map or something.

There was very little traffic. Possibly no other cars for several minutes. I peeked out of my window and looked towards the phenomena, but what I saw instead was a huge charcoal or steel colored craft overhead that looked like it was made of cast iron.

It seemed to have a central area where the beam might have come from. The surface was rough but I didn't see too much detail. It was right overhead, and I may have stepped out of the car.

The light changed very quickly as the sun set, and I could not see it any longer. ((NUFORC Note: Source of report indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD)).

A large rectangular ship making a humming sound was sighted over my house late in 1994. Late in 1994, I stepped outside at around 9:00 at night to take my dog out in the yard. I stepped out, walked around for a bit, then we came back to the door, and something caught my eye.

I live by a lake and over the lake I saw some lights blinking in the distance. I watched for a few moments and they started coming closer. The lights were white and orangish.

Well, it disappeared for a few seconds then it came right up to my house. It was just sitting there in the sky and it was huge. It made a low humming or vibrating sound.

The UFO was a rectangular shape. My dog started growling and hissing and I was getting a little freaked out. It was really magnificent.

Then it slowly started to sail away back behind the trees and soon it ascended and disappeared.

WHITE DOTS OVER SPRINGHILL FLA IT WAS ABOUT 7:00 AM I WAS 15 YRS OLD WAITING AT MY BUS STOP. IT WAS STILL DARK OUTSIDE, THE SKY WAS MOSTLY CLEAR. I SAW A WHITE DOT IN THE SKY.

FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A SATELLITE, BUT IT WAS MOVING QUICK. AS I WATCHED IT IT HAD STOPPED, IT LITE UP JUST LIKE IF YOU WOULD LOOK INTO A FLASH LIGHT BRIGHT IN THE CENTER WITH A RING AROUND IT. IT MOVED BEHIND A CLOUD I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES.

THE CLOUD IT WAS BEHIND SPARKED IT WAS LIKE LIGHTNING, BUT NOT THE HOLE SKY JUST THE CLOUD. THE OBJECT DARTED OUT BACK THE WAY IT HAD CAME AND STOPPED. IT WAS SHOOTING THESE REDISH ORANGE LIGHTS BACK TOWARDS THE CLOUD.

ANOTHER OBJECT CAME IN SIGHT, IT LOOKED JUST LIKE THE OTHER. IT ALSO WAS SHOOTING THESE LIGHTS BACK TOWARDS THE OTHER OBJECT. OBJECT 2 TOOK OFF WITH SPEEDS THAT I HAD NEVER SEEN BEFORE NOT EVEN TO THIS DAY.

OBJECT 1 LITE UP AGAIN AND TOOK OFF IN THE SAME DIRECTION. NEVER SAW THEM AGAIN ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD)).

I was following it in my car for a short period of time and watched it disappear before my eyes, it was a clear morning. It amazed me. It was a wonderful birthday present.

I was taking my kids to school, on the morning of 10-20-94, as we crossed some railroad tracks, I looked up in the sky to the north and saw a small silver saucer shaped object, I said to my children look up there and pointed to the saucer, at this point we were amazed. I turned north at the next street which was across the tracks, tried to follow it and then it disappears into thin air.

We saw a perfect Spherical ball of light in the sky that wasn't the moon. My father and I were working that evening loading the harvest. This was less than 1/2 mile from my middle school right as night was approaching.

We had farmed the property for sometime yet we saw a bright light up by the property owners house. The owner had a small air strip next to his property where his son would fly planes. I asked my father had the owner installed a new street light because over the trees about 600 ft away his house was really more well lit than I remember.

We took our time and was heading home as usual when we noticed his property was extremely well illuminated as we were leaving. I looked up in the sky and saw what I took to be the moon but it was clearly not the moon it was a perfect sphere of light on a cloudless night. I could see what I took to be a UFO.

It made no sounds and didn't seem to move. I looked at it long and hard to check and see if it had any crevices or imperfections, there were none I could see. I wanted to make sure! I was seeing it so I ask my father did he know what the object was and did he see it.

He said he saw it and didn't know what it was. We didn't stop and headed home. I was bothered and terrified I had never seen a UFO before and haven't seen anything like it since.

I have been telling this story ever since. I feel liberated after officially telling this story after so long. We were alone us two that night harvesting in a field about 20 acres or so big.

I can't say it was a craft but I can tell you I felt like we were bieng watched. I got the same chills writing this story I got all those years ago. This is the first time I have written about this experience.

Full Report Text:

Close encounter 5th kind - CE5. This is a completely true, but amazing, experience, and I strongly feel it will interest you. It’s another strange thing that’s going on with some people, a twist of things happening in recent years, worldwide.

It was Wednesday, October 12, 1994. In what follows, a name is changed, withholding a man’s identity. Everything else is exactly as it happened.

That day around 9:00 p.m., we arrived at Okeechobee from our day's work in Boca Raton.

Okeechobee is a Seminole Indian name meaning, "Big Lake." Joe was with me. We are computer engineers developing an important product for a big client.

It was a difficult job. We needed a change of scene and he was glazed over too from the day’s problems. A ride in the country would give us a change to rest our heads.

Escaping our noisy hotel was part of the answer, so driving eighty-five miles to Big Lake was welcome. The beach is usually good but typically it’s a parking problem. At Okee, there’s cool, clean, air with a chorus of wild creatures to hear all around .

Relaxing. There‘s no stress or tension. What a place! We arrived with just time enough to fix a drink and walk outside by the rim canal.

It felt so fine being there on a perfectly clear cool moonless night. The air was wonderful and stars were bright. Looking to the right we immediately saw a light coming.

It was over the canal about 800-feet in the air a quarter-mile away. Something close was flying our way. I was thinking, "This ought to be interesting.

" Little did I know! It seemed like a helicopter by its speed and height, with a big light under it. At the same time there was a twin engine plane flying out over the lake, just behind it, about two miles away. The plane was noisy and gaining altitude from take off at Okeechobee Airport.

So, it’s natural that I wouldn’t hear a helicopter coming our way. Only it wasn’t a helicopter, not a plane either, and it’s coming along in the air too quietly. We’re near Route 441 with some distant sounds of traffic going by.

But I couldn’t hear this thing coming and it’s getting close. We saw a steady bright glow under it, like a big searchlight playing into the canal. Whatever it is, it had no flashing lights of any kind.

But all aircraft are required to have strobe lights at night. As it came from behind a nearby tree into clearer view, we saw it’s a brightly lit disk and still moving toward us. I said, "What the hell is that?" Joe was glued.

I just watched without a thought and looked hard trying to decide what it was. The disk was still flying toward us, slowly, maybe 20-mph. It flew the same way over the canal until about 300-yards away.

Then it went gradually higher to about 400-yards, almost over head. It’s changing direction slightly now, moving to the opposite edge of the canal and over a point about 100-yards in front of us. It slowed, descending as it went by.

It’s absurd not being aware that it’s a UFO but it never entered my mind. A UFO is exactly what we saw, the real thing. I never saw one before and this one is really close.

It didn’t get closer than 200-yards to where we stood. As the craft flew by, it was perfectly circular, about 35-feet in diameter give or take five. At that height it looks bigger than, say, a full moon rising on the horizon and it’s brighter.

As it moved it made a bright white glow with a hint of yellow, bright but without a strain. easy on the eyes. No sound, I said – it was totally silent.

By then there’s no noisy plane nor any road traffic being heard, no more distractions anywhere. The craft was coming down, low, slowing to a stop and moving east 100-yards toward Nubbin Slough. In five seconds, it flew from high over head to where it’s hanging in the air over the levee.

We saw it clearly, parked a little above the levee up a 20-degree angle. As it descended the disk-glow was harder to see the lower it came, because the angle was smaller and the glow diminishing. It came to a stop, suspended motionless in the air 100-feet past the ridge of the levee toward the lake, a distance of about 250-yards from us.

The craft became dark. Two small soft lights appeared, one each side, square light images although not big as windows. They are reference lights to help us with what happened next.

It’s on edge-view and I saw its silhouette, because there’s a lot of light in the haze behind it from the well lit power plant 15-miles! away. The plant was under construction around the clock and covered with lights for the night shifts. It looked like a vaudeville straw hat on edge view.

The upper part of this thing was dark but showed a rectangular silhouette, flat on top, and not as wide as its base where we had seen the glow. The top is a shallow wide cylinder shape. The top part is three times thicker than the base and eight times wider than thick.

The base is thinner and a third wider than the upper part.maybe 15% wider on each side than the top. I looked for how the base is connected to the top, curved or straight, but couldn’t see it.

It’s a lame description but it was dark. When the craft came low and to a stop, I was thinking, "Now I will see what they’re doing!" Without thinking UFO I knew they weren’t like us inside. This was really different.

It amazes me, not realizing the things I know. Like, how might I know ostensibly never having seen one before? Did they send me subconscious thoughts already? And I mean, Lake Okeechobee is a military operating area, and there are rumors we may have flying craft of similar appearance. But this craft is nothing of ours.

No question, this technology is special. Very quickly after this thought, something happened to me. I didn’t remember it clearly for weeks.

What I remembered instead was, that at about this point we turned and went into the house for a few minutes, then came out to look for it again. It’s still visible, glowing over the levee about two miles down, past Nubbin, toward the southeast and Indiantown. Again, we turned away with it still in view and went back into the house.

The clock read 9:45. Wasn't that something? Joe said, "Yeah, you know, some things just happen." He couldn’t function either, both of us were subdued.

I was drained. Sitting in the house, I was tired and empty of thought. I just couldn’t put two thoughts together.

I went outside looking at things again and found my vision was different. I could see really well in the dark but soon came back inside. We immediately turned in for the night without a word.

Next morning it’s never mentioned by either of us, nothing. Joe never brought up anything about it, not ever. It’s awhile before I came around to it with him.

Months later after remembering most of what happened, I phoned Joe about what he recalls. He said Nothing. Months after that I sat him down and probed him to see if he remembered them talking to us.

All he’d say was, "Maybe they were talking to you." And with a grin, he said, "They found no intelligent life here and moved on." It seems all he remembers was seeing a ‘fast moving’ light.

' It’s a clue .maybe he’s on different ‘time’ than me in this experience. I’d been thinking He simply didn’t want to remember.

And he doesn’t want to talk about it at all. At least he knows they came, I’m thinking. He’s my witness.

We saw the most incredible event in anyone's life experience, uncommon in all human experience, yet we lost interest in it? We turned our backs, headed inside and simply went to bed. Nothing like this could happen in normal circumstances. But there’s certainly nothing normal about these circumstances.

Something very different happened that October night. After they left us, I was mentally washed out, tired and just about dysfunctional. It’s the chance of a lifetime for two curious people like us, who are no pedestrians to technology, and who earned educations in four scientific disciplines between us.

We could’ve done much more investigating at the time, because there were binoculars, a camera, and a 2½-inch refracting telescope, all within five yards of the door from where we stood. None of it mattered. We simply couldn’t function acting on our own will.

We had no initiative, none, zero. Best I could do was look and wonder. After weeks of trying, memory and the details began coming.

I did it mostly while driving to work with plenty time to think. Eventually I got nearly everything back. Here’s what happened.

We watched as the craft came lower, stopped, and became darker. Two small lights appeared. The craft was parked in the air just inside the levee of Big Lake maybe as close as 200-yards away.

As we watched, something hit me, a marvelously happy feeling and I knew at the time it was coming from the craft. I thought THIS is a really good sign whoever they are. The happiest feeling of anticipation had suddenly come upon me.

I knew to expect something wonderful to happen between them and me. They were doing something to affect my mental state giving me a wonderful feeling of euphoria. It‘s nothing like anything I’ve ever felt, a totally joyful happy feeling beyond description.

I was so glad they were here and understood, waiting for something. I dared not move a muscle although knew I wasn’t restrained. Whatever came next I wanted to be part of it.

Next, I was sensing a projection of thought to me, when soon thought-speech appeared in mind in my own idiom. But there’s some fumbling, because I first heard some unintelligible words and a series of growls. I thought It’s growling at me.

But it definitely seemed like a recording coming up to the wrong speed. Sure, as in, they don’t know how to operate their ship. Much later I saw they were showing me that technology is being used.

It sounded like technology was being engaged and directed to me. It’s growling, why’s that? . thinking This might become difficult.

how very odd all this is. Next, I heard the word…Mrep! (Visitor) Mrep, what the hell is.? With that exchange we were talking.

It’s like they’re tuning on what I was getting. How could they know? Yes, they’re already reading my thought responses. We’re communicating! They’re talking with me and the warm feeling of expectation was at its height.

I thought this is actually happening, happening here and right now. Right now! Wide-eyed I couldn’t believe it, thinking It’s too fantastic. they’re real, what a discovery! A man’s voice was very friendly, saying, "Yes, up here.

We’re here. You’re looking at us, and we can see you. You hear us talking to you.

We know you’re interested in us. It's okay, we won't harm you. (Visitor)" At this exact moment Joe said Damn! Obvious excitement, because he realized he could hear them too.

They’re here and they’re talking to us! But there’s a problem, I notice these speech-thoughts went by really fast for a typical English-speaking dialog. It wasn’t like two people speaking with each other, where more time is inserted between thoughts, where we allow each other time to think in the process. It was going by as a flood to grasp, near my limit.

I found it difficult and didn’t want it this way, but it was also all clearly heard and understood. There was only time to respond, no time to form any questions, which may have been deliberate. It seems to account for speed of the exchange.

They were deliberately pacing the exchange so we couldn’t ask them any! questions.Next the voice said…We want to meet and show you around. We do stop and show others sometimes and they have a good time.

We want to be friendly. Would you like to see everything here and have a ride? (Visitor) Immediately, a silly image of a guy popped into mind. The guy was sitting in a deckchair with sunglasses, a blue blazer, white slacks and shoes, with a captain's cap.

If this was supposed to be an image of me having a good time, it struck me as totally bogus, because I would not imagine something so ridiculous in my situation. They must have sent it. I thought nice try.

But it’s also okay with me. My thought in exchange made it okay, because I obviously knew it wouldn’t be like that. It was humorous.

I’m thinking now, these guys do have a sense of humor.Imagine that? I’m invited. I was so excited and thought Really! .

and emphatically thought Yes! I was so happy, so excited and grinning hugely. I shot a glance at Joe. He had on his biggest smile, too, although he didn’t look at me.

Quickly, I looked back to the craft feeling they didn’t want my attention anywhere else. No voice said so but I underst! ood a thought to be…Now look here a moment. (Visitor) I replied thinking Okay .

doing just that. We had switched from our explicit dialog to a direct implicit thought-flow between us; telepathy, explicitly vs. implicitly.

Between reference lights I could see a tiny spot beginning to boil and enlarge. There’s a grayish-green circular spot and it’s getting bigger. A fuzzy spot had formed and was expanding but slowly at first.

It appeared to be swarming with motion and became a cloud-like image emanating from the edge-center of the craft. It was swarming in the sense that it appeared to be boiling with a lot of motion and was fuzzy to look at. It was fairly uniform.

Next I saw circular arcs being traced out one at a time. The circular cloud was growing out of a tiny port on the craft. Arcs appeared at the edge of the circular cloud at twelve o’clock and moved on a curve to its center at the port.

Arcs emanated from the same point-source and immediately began getting bigger, growing into a tear-shaped envelope. One of the yin-yang symbols on the South Korean flag comes to mind, the one curving left, but was narrower. In all five or six formed, each growing onto the upper right side of the circle-like cloud.

After they were all formed the cloud became more oblate, squarer with rounded corners. The envelopes formed sequentially, the first beginning from the 12 o’clock position. Each one was growing on the lower edge of the preceding one.

The tear-shaped envelope is a sort of bottle. Next, I saw contents of the bottle growing from the smaller back at the edge toward its larger front at the port. It’s growing into the space rather than filling into it.

This is a biological process and how it grew was amazing. The process took only a few seconds to complete each teardrop envelope of its contents. Growth would suddenly appear in discrete steps, not gradually filling within chambers of the envelope.

I saw its compartments being filled in. Each cell of the envelope is irregular in size, shape, and volume. It reminds me of compartments of a complex soap bubble, itself being formed of bubbles within the biggest bubble.

The inner bubbles are the cells being filled in a flash-instant of growth. There’s a tiny pause, then the process moves to an adjacent cell. The progress of moving between cells reminds me of how water drops suddenly connect together moving down a dry surface.

Just a tiny hesitation before they merge. The next one would get its space filled, and so on until the envelope was totally complete. Each cell was filled with different stuff; some of it was light, some was darker color.

The only thing coming to mind that’s similar is tadpole jelly from the swamp I played in as a kid. As each envelope filled with growth, a new envelope was immediately traced out under it. It would fill and so on until all of them were complete.

The envelopes developed in a clockwise stack under each other, the last one! being grown at the five o’clock on the cloud-circle. When the processing was complete the cloud-object changed its character, getting bigger much faster. It changed to greenish-yellow from gray-green .

more yellow now. Next it began coming, moving rapidly down to us.It traveled the 200-250 yards in under three seconds, closer to two.

I was startled to have it come so fast but I wasn’t scared. As it came, it changed the angle of descent twice. It started down steeply and changed to half the angle at half the distance.

Within the last 100-feet it changed again by half the angle, arriving with a shallow slope only slightly above us as it swept in. As it came I saw the cloud was 3X taller than wide, luminous but not bright and without distinct features. That is, except for a perfect black ellipse centered in its upper third, the major axis at vertical.

The cloud was symmetrical about its vertical. That is if you could fold it in half, both sides would match exactly. The black object seemed like a tunnel in the cloud, like a big eye, but wasn’t.

I searched hard as the mist approached, looking for any definition but saw no detail anywhere. The elliptical feature disappeared without me noticing as the cloud arrived. I feel it’s there merely as a focus, a diversion but nothing significant.

The cloud was strange-looking, much bigger than us but wasn’t itself a creature. At its edges I vaguely recall seeing separate forms the instant it arrived, the kind of thing you can see if you don’t look directly at it. They came so fast I couldn’t focus my eyes fast enough.

It’s like they’re on each side of it, the landing party of workers sent by who’s ever in charge. I’m thinking This is my chance to see something .but no way.

Another interesting point; the light cloud approached low over water, yet I saw no reflection from the water as it came. It’s low enough near the end and I should have seen it. But it didn’t happen.

For a year the subtlety escaped me, as in, what’s wrong with this picture? What sort of light is that anyway? I know that Joe saw the cloud come, too, because as it arrived he hollered No! Joe felt threatened, and anyone would trying to hold onto normal reality. Here is his only known world. Something like this has no place in ordinary life experience… does it? As the light cloud swiftly engulfed us I felt nothing different.

We were immersed in a yellow mist. I struggled to see something, anything. Then looking down and to the right I saw motion.

Something smaller was moving toward Joe. I saw a small person like a five-year-old shuffling past at a half-run followed immediately by another exactly like the first. I only saw them from the belly down.

The glare of yellow light was masking everything. No one came toward me. They went toward Joe, standing to my right four feet away.

Besides their size I made two other observations of them. Their knees are simpler, the same thickness as their thin non-muscular legs. Their knees are nothing like our thick knobby knees.

When they run they don’t lean forward enough as we do. Their backs are nearly straight. Nobody runs like they do.

I’d fall down trying to run like that. I’ve imitated their posture trying to make a step but couldn’t move. I’m thinking they’re really lightweights.

Their upper bodies are minimal. As I watched them go I’m thinking There's no sidewalk over there. They loped past about three feet over the edge of the sidewalk, out over water.

Their loose silvery metallic-looking clothes glowed from the surrounding mist, but less bright than the light. How many came I don’t know, I saw only two. But an interesting thought comes to mind.

I’ve seen bodies of these workers being custom grown, all six of them. A biological process happened just before they came. Seems they use such bodies to work here with us, like we wear our jeans and jacket.

If it’s so, what technology! But it makes a guy speculate about what form they’d normally take, to assume biology-wear as a work suit. It’s what happened. The mist was a nuisance, I couldn’t see much.

I looked carefully at what there was to see. I remember looking at the bright yellow light source at floor level. The bright object was lighting the cloud creating the mist.

It’s on the ‘floor’, parallel and even with the edge of the concrete sidewalk but beyond water’s edge about four feet. The light’s a half-ellipse two inches high, eight inches long. It’s the mechanism making a platform under them, extending over the water where they’re working.

The light had bright radials sticking up from it in the vertical plane and was located parallel to the edge of the concrete sidewalk. I saw the bigger radials of light are separated at 20-30 degree angles from each other, bright from the source and quickly becoming less distinct, fading a few inches above source. Radials would all shift together at irregular intervals, hopping back and forth, yet holding their places and distances to each other as they all jumped to another position.

My impression was, it’s compensating for load dynamics on the platform as the workers moved about. I closely studied this light show until I understood what it’s doing. I looked up and forward into the mist thinking Now, what next? Then I felt I was going.

Going? It’s really subtle. No weight off my feet or of being uplifted, but a feeling of departure, upwards. Then.

blank. I was blanked for a time, because next I remember coming to, realizing I’d been blanked. I was again conscious, present, feeling some air.

I seemed to be back on the sidewalk where I’d been. My body was still standing there just as before. I felt the gentle air from the canal.

My eyes were still closed, although I felt I could open them if I wanted but didn’t. Seems, somehow I knew we weren’t finished yet. I heard a slow vibration, about 8-Hz, like a flutter.

Then quickly it’s gently against my forehead. In a moment it went in. It’s inside my head! It was not interfering with my mind, I could still think.

But I’m being buzzed by a wave, a gentle, extremely low frequency (ELF) wave. thinking What's it doing? ELF wave was getting harder, slowly rising in intensity and in frequency. I felt like it was charging my brain, like a capacitor, more, more, and more.

It kept on increasing, the frequency going up, up, ever upwards. On and on and I’m thinking Will it ever end? …Knowing it’s going to my limit and wishing it would find it soon. But it kept going higher, higher.

How could it go so high? I wasn’t happy with the wave continuing upward. It’s tough to take but it went to an unbelievably high level before finally hitting my limit. It abruptly stopped with a pop at the top of my head.

Receiving the buzz was an extremely rude experience. I was grimacing, eyes and jaws tightly clenched to withstand its powerful effect. There’s never any pain, just a force.

When it ended, I got released and it doubled me over spinning me around clockwise. I saw Joe's feet where he’d been, still standing next to me. I shouted What the hell was that? Damn!.

Thinking I am back. Have I just landed on my feet? . I’m on my feet.

It felt strange being back, like where had I gone? Physically I don’t feel I went anywhere. I was zapped hard by something and was afraid, thinking Maybe I’m ruined. It’s the most physically stunning experience.

I staggered around a long moment, 10- or 20-seconds, trying not to fall into the canal. I was cursing trying to get a grip on reality, trying to get my balance. Everything’s distorted, nothing making any sense as I look around.

For once I’m scared, thinking I might stay this way. The wave was forceful and its release was like having grabbed a 240-volt AC line. new meaning to the word stunning.

It also cleared out my thought processes but not where I live in my mind. That part was still unaffected, because I was myself the whole time. Rude as it was I still had the glad feeling like before.

Maybe it’s all in friendship, and if so I’d hate to be on their other list. Good time, is it? The only thing coming to mind was that they’d given me a capacity test, taking a measurement. But Guinea pig? There’s obviously nothing else it could be.

Finally I was coming out of it, looking around for them. The disk was moving away, flying over the canal a mile to the east. It made a curious maneuver, a small move to the right to back over the levee.

But it did so in a spiral motion, first moving left then rolling in a downward circle coming up to the right, all the while keeping its horizontal axis parallel to the ground. It’s a victory roll. Way too odd! I’m thinking Someone’s got a real sense of humor in there.

Their job clearly has some humor in it, watching me deal with effects of the Buzz. More than coincidental, the maneuver was for my benefit, because I understood it as a wave goodbye. The little buggars! They had to know I was looking, like they were watching through my own eyes somehow.

But what’s the relationship and why so friendly? Well, I’d actually discover why four years later. There’s more ahead about them, you’ll be impressed. It’s easy for me to see their maneuver, because my eyes were so slowed down.

My eyes were now like a video screen, with light-paint lingering, delayed in a sort of light-smear, tracing out its path as I watched the craft circle moving back over the levee. I was thinking Fishermen at Nubbin Lock are getting a big surprise as this thing flies low over them .right .

about .now. I laughed to myself about it.

Shortly later I looked toward the Nubbin again, still getting my bearings. White lights all looked very yellow now, blurred .even smeared.

They’re much bigger than usual although not brighter. What seemed different was, when I moved my head, the lights smeared to over where I was now looking. Then the smear slowly faded.

Also, I had tremendous night vision, almost like day. I could see everything around me, up and down the canal. Everything is clearly lit by a yellow light glow.

There’s more. I also had eagle vision at will. I could will myself to have a close-up frame of any object I wanted to see.

It would simply appear closer and bigger. Such total surprise! I stood looking at things in a residual yellow-light effect. I could see better by it.

The light cloud was gone, of course. At the time, there were very few lights down the canal and not big. But that night they helped light up the whole canal.

Otherwise it’s blackness down there when there’s no moonlight. I enj! oyed my newly given ability only briefly, because we were washed out and tired. At that point we stopped looking and went inside but soon came out, again, for another look.

I saw the disk glowing brightly two miles down, still near the levee. Back inside the house it was drab, really dull and uninteresting after being outside seeing things. Artificial light so close to me inside was annoying.

My vision had changed. I was sensitized to see by different light and its effect is awesome. If the Army only knew that a directed ELF produces fantastic natural night vision.

Fat chance though, that they’d make anything happen like this in a hundred years. It’s modulated ELF. We sat in the house a few minutes saying nothing.

I felt so different than normal, like being at arms length from myself. I could still think but I couldn’t scan-think, like in thought synthesis. It‘s the processes needed for reaching conclusions.

Thoughts wouldn’t flow in that way. Then without discussing it we headed for the bedrooms. I threw myself down on the bed and stared to the ceiling, trying to rethink what happened.

In the pitch-black room my new night vision didn‘t help. I couldn’t see.Next, it’s morning .

a dreamless sleep all night. Like flatline, there’s nothing in my head. I woke up rested with the event first in my mind.

Again, Joe and I didn’t speak of it the whole way to Boca. It’s perfectly ridiculous, but we’re keeping the same ‘secret’ from each other. It’s too taxing to discuss, besides I only wanted to relive it privately.

By that night my special night vision was gone. But my eyes played tricks concerning eagle vision. Sometimes it’s in, sometimes it’s out.

It gave me problems driving, because scanning for traffic in the mirror sometimes a car seemed too close, nearly on top of me. Seconds later, it’s back to normal. The car was where it should be.

It’s annoying and dogged me for days. Weeks passed. I’m rethinking the even! t everyday while driving.

Gradually more and more came back and I wrote everything down. Finally I had it all except for being blanked. That part wasn’t recovered.

if I got my ride after all. PS: Years later someone explained to me that ELF is extraordinary stuff. It’s like my visitors used a handheld device, working up close while doing me with ELF.

That’s interesting technology, because governments communicate with their submarine fleets using ELF. But there’s a difference. All our efforts need an antenna big as a football field to create such long waves.

As a result of the encounter, he wrote four books with the information they gave him and asked him to write in astounding detail. The contents of these books provide the rationale for our lives and the answers to questions that mankind has been asking since the beginning.

sunlike sphere There was only one craft. It was first seen by my younger brother (9 at the time) and his two friends from the house across the street. They started at it for about one minute before bringing it to our attention.

By the time I was told about it and ran outside approximately two minutes had passed. I went outside thinking it was a joke my brother and his friends were trying to pull on me. But when I looked straight up I knew I was never going to see anything like this for the rest of my life.

I called out for everyone in the house to come out and see. It was a circular shaped object with a very light triangle shaped ring around it. The bottom section of the sphere glowed to a bright orange like the color of the sun, and then it would dim down again.

It continude to do this for the whole time we were looking at it. We all got a perfect view of it, the sky was perfectly clear and the object was only about 500 ft above us. It made no noise, and we were all in such aw that we made no noise either.

It slowly left to the east until we could see it anymore. ((NUFORC Note: Date of incident is approximate. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous.

UFO Pictures I was young and had a camera. I was in my parents yard. When I looked up I noticed this crazy shape flying in the sky.

So I took a few photos. After that I don't remember much. I'm not saying I was taken or anything.

I think it was because I was young. All I remember after the picture was saying, "Damn, it's gone". Today I was looking through some old boxes and came across one with photos.

As I was going down memory lane I came across the picture. I feel that since it was not taken with a digital camera and I may still have the negative it would be more real since it can't be manipulated. I have the pictures here but am kind of freaked out.

I don't know what to do with it. I always here about people having something worth money and then just loosing out on a goldmine. I don't care about fame but I am starting a family.

I have the pictures and would like to know if there is anyone I can show them to to get an opinion. Thanks for all your time.

Silver Egg Shaped craft After shooting some baskets in my driveway. I took a seat on the back bumper of my car. I was checking out the clouds.

They were giant cotton balls in the sky not high either. While looking north west. a metallic egg shaped craft just beneath the clouds heading south came across my field of view.

I was able to watch it go into a cloud out the otherside then into another cloud which blocked my view and I was unable to see it anymore. entire sighting took 15 seconds. the craft was low and about the size of my thumb with my hand held out at arms length.

The skin of the craft was smooth also there was a layer of heat or something radiating around it. it looked like the heat you see radiating from the hood of your car when the engine is hot. craft was going maybe 400 to 500mph totally silent!

Three egg-shaped objects drifting over Aventura Mall The date is approximate, but the time is accurate, as the mall we were at was closing. My wife and I and my infant daughter and 4 year-old son were leaving the Aventura Mall in Aventura, Florida, and were loading our packages in the car, when I looked up to see three dark, pewter-colored egg-shaped craft in a tight triangular formation pass silently overhead at a fairly slow pace -- it took them a minute to pass from directly overhead to behind the mall structure which was about a football field away. I wouls estimate that they were less than 1000 feet in the air -- they were definitely below the cloud layer (the sky was partly cloudy).

The objects were silent as they passed over, like I said, pewter colored, but clearly outlined. There was some surface light reflected off of the objects. I called my wife, who did see them, but didn't have much to say.

She got into the car with my kids, and I watched them for the duration (about two or so minutes).

ADDITION TO REPORT "Addition to PINELLAS COUNTY report of same date" I just wanted to respond to the recent report of a green meteor-like display over the water in our area. No sir, you are not nuts, and I guess I'm not either, should this be the only consideration. Aproximately 9 years ago, my wife and I were driving on Coquina Key late at night when I saw, seemingly just beyond the skyway bridge, to the SW, a very bright green "meteor" head apparently into the gulf.

I remember thinking it might be a flare, due to the odd colour and the startling brightness,. but I considered the speed, (meteoric), the size, even if it was nearer than I suspected which is unlikely, and concluded that it was indeed some extraordinary low atmosphere event. It happened so quickly that my wife missed it, much to my consternation.

((NUFORC Note: This report also entered into the report from Pinellas County, FL, for July 27, 2003. Date of this report is approximate. PD)).

I saw it coming home one night the same day of a Shuttle launch in Daytona Beach,Fl. I can't be sure at this moment if the year is correct.but it is approx.

right. It was however the same day of a Shuttle launch. I was on my way home from work driving home from Orange City on I-4 then I had just got off 4 on to I-95 south.

I was looking ahead and saw light's about a mile in front of me. I always see planes because the airport is near by. This time the lights stayed stationary and I was thinking it was a chopper and it was a speed check.

So I slowed down. As I got closer it remained in it's position,to the point I was able to drive under it. I was able to see that it wasn't a chopper,there was no noise.

It had a shape un-like any other that I have ever seen on TV. One that I can not describe cleary in writing. But I could draw,which I have several time's.

But I will try to do so here. ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- ------- ----------------- ----- ----- ----------------- ---- --- -------------- --- ------------ ------- ----- This is the best that I can do. This is not a disk shaped object.

In the center was a large black circular window.front and back. on both ends.

front and back smaller round dark black holes appeared to be about the size of tires. I believe on the back side.because of the direction it was moving.

Where 5 strobe light.horozontally aligned on the upper part of the craft. It did not turn like a plane as it left me.

which it did when I pulled over and got out of my car.It turned and went over to the north bound side of I-95 and headed north.then it was just gone.

I went home and told my family.and of course everyone just thought I was crazy. And for the rest of the night and the next day I had a headache that wouldn't go away.

I have just now in the last 6 months got a computer and was watching sightings and felt it was time to at least tell someone of my sighting and that there is another shaped craft that hasn't been shown yet. ((NUFORC Note: We will attempt to confirm the precise date. Images in text are not preserved when they are downloaded into a database, so the stippled lines above are not the image.

I saw an egg like object out of the side of my eye while driving, but it changed speed and shot away with no transition time. I think it was in the afternoon and I was driving south with the airport to my right and saw something out of the corner of my eye in the area of the airport. I glanced at it, thinking nothing abnormal.

because it was next to the airport. At first glance the shape seemed odd, but I wasn't really looking at it with my full attention. I was driving and it was off at an awkward angle.

What I did notice, was it was going unusually slow and looked like a egg with about the same color and luster as a old pearl. It really caught my eye when it went from a sluggish pace to a very quick pace without any transition time. I would have stopped and looked, but I really was so surprised by it that I didn't even think to until I was out of the area.

Date and time are both guesses. It was a long time ago, and I never even thought about reporting anything. Just happened accross a show on tv about mass sightings and the governments explanations.

They were really stupid explanations so I went online to see what they were saying a flying egg was! ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the incident is approximate. PD)).

TIME LOSS extremly fast light traveling north It was around 2:00 pm my cousin and I decided to take a trip to tampa to meet some friends for the weekend we where traveling on the beeline highway heading west toward okeechobee we where just west of jupiter when my cousin pointed out the drivers side window and asked me if I could see what he was pointing at I couldn't see it untill it passed over the car heading north. It was moving fast faster then any plane I have ever seen. We where amazed but just continued on our trip we arrived in Tampa at 10pm which had to be wrong because it takes 4 hours at the most which meant it should have been 6pm.

We did not stop anywhere but for gas once. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that date of incident is approximate. PD)) ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous.

Full Report Text:

This is an addition to my previous report. Minor details I felt should be included. I would like to make a note to my previous report, which I filed for this same date and location.

The craft I witnessed was clearly visible in the glow cast by the street lights. I could make out every detail on the under body. Along with the strange size, color and placement of the lights, I could also make out what appeared to be two arched shaped tubes running along the bottom back side of the craft.

In the glow of the street lights the craft looked to be of a dark non-metallic color. Its shape I would say, is not beyond the imagination of a human mind. However, this craft exhibited maneuverability characteristics far beyond that of any known current technology.

The G-force's involved in the maneuver I witnessed would have been too great for a human. The craft seemed oblivious to any form of inertia. It approached at a constant rate I can only guess to be around 50 to 60 mph.

It did not slow down. It simply just stopped, spun around and accelerated back to about the same speed it approached, all in an instant. It didn't even drift.

There was never a sound or any sign of smoke or exhaust. Now here's the weird part. Not long after I filed my initial report, the street lights on the big bend part of the sawgrass highway (by Coral Springs) where removed!!! This I find very strange.

Why would they take down the lights? Can anyone else confirm this? It may just be coincidence. I have done an incredible amount of research into the UFO phenomenon and to this day I can not find a sighting that resembles mine. I still recall that night clear as day.

It will forever be burned in my mind. When a person see's something that defies all known logic, it tends to leave one feeling unsettled. I just want to know that I'm not crazy.

THE CRAFT STOPED DIRECTLY OVER THE BIG BEND IN THE HIGHWAY, AT WICH POINT I WAS ABLE TO GET AN EXELLENT VIEW OF A VERY UNCONVENTIONAL CRAFT.IT REMAINED STATIONARY ONLY FOR A SECOND AS IT SEEMED TO SPIN ON A DIME TOWARD THE DIRECTION WICH IT CAME. THEN THE CRAFT LEISURLY ACCELERATED OFF TOWARDS THE EAST.

WHEN THE CRAFT SPUN AROUND IT WAS EASILY WITHIN TWOHUNDRED FEET OF US.THERE WAS NO JET BLAST OR ANY OUTHER SOUND,IT WAS SILENT.THE CLOSEST COMPARISON OF THE CRAFT I CAN MAKE IS THAT IT RESEMBLED A "KLINGNON WARBIRD".

Bright ball of light hovers, goes up, flies, then disappears. My friend was walking me home one night, probably around 8 to 9 pm. As we got to the turn onto my street we noticed a huge ball of bright light hovering in the air behind but slightly above the streetlights in the distance to our left.

We stopped and tried to figure out what it was because it looked different than the streetlights it was behind. After a minute of looking at it, it went straight up pretty far and started flying forward. It went faster than a plane but slower than a jet.

We were confused and looked for flashing lights like on planes, there was none. We started questioning what it was, helicopter hover but don’t go this fast, planes and jets don’t hover, etc. While discussing this we were still watching it.

All of a sudden it went straight up then shot off diagonally towards space but what scared us was because it was so fast that it disappeared in a second or two. There was no noise. Nothing we knew of at the time could go that fast.

We were so scared that we ran home. My friend went into the army a few years later and the last time we talked he still has no logical explanation for what we saw. There’s no military base in the direction it was at.

I wish someone could help give me answers, even if it was military, just answers. I never knew who to contact all these years and still really don’t know.

Huge soundless orangish/greenish hovering ball of light that shoots out sparks. First let me start by saying that where we live is very rural. The State forest is my front yard.

Not many homes and very little traffic. There used to be a landfill but has since closed. My brother and I were driving to the store for our mother to get a few items.

My brother was driving the car. Heading to the west going over the top of the hill to the north we both noticed something hovering above the trees, at first it looked like a helicopter with a weird orangish with a hint of light greenish tinted spot light all lit up and blinding almost like a giant star but it didn't have any sound and it was hovering just above the trees. The best way to describe it would to say that it look ed like an orange/green street light in the distance, but VERY bright and VERY big, too bright to make out what it looked like without the lights.

It stayed perfectly still and soundless until we got about 30 feet away from the trees where it was hovering. When we got closer it shot off to the north east at record speed. The object flew out further into the wooded area and disappeared.

The weirdest part about it was that it shot out sparks similar to a comets tail when it took off. My brother decided to try to chase it through the woods. On a trail going 40 to 50 miles an hour trying to catch this object it was impossible.

I am very familiar with airplanes and helicopters and this was neither. I have never seen an object take off that fast with trailing sparks. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate.

Full Report Text:

Three witnesses saw a very large, chevron-shaped, black or gray object with read lights around the edges. I noticed your graphic of the 7/23/02 Los Angeles sighting on the main page and it matches precisely what I saw (with two others) on a camping trip in April, 1994. We were in what is called the Croom section of the Withlacoochie National Forest, and all three of us are university instructors.

We were lying on lawn chairs around a campfire and I looked up to see what appeared to be a huge (football-field sized, perhaps) chevron-shaped formation of red lights. The other two witnesses didn't seem concerned, but did remark, as I did, that it was "odd." It was either one very large object or 7-8 small ones, but my best guess is one large, black or dark gray object moving very slowly overhead, absolutely silently.

The red lights were around the periphery, from a point at the front and widening toward the back. One witness suggested helicopters, but I pointed out that I didn't think they'd be flying in formation with no lights but a single red one, at night, over the forest. The object(s) moved slowly (I don't know which direction--we were in the woods, at night) and disappeared.

It took probably 15-20 minutes. The next morning, one of the witnesses (my husband) and I went out birdwatching; I left him to finish by himself (too many blackflies) and he disappeared. That is, it took numerous searchers on horseback, rangers in trucks, a helicopter, and--finally--a tracking dog to find him at about 21:00 hours that night.

He said he took a nap in the woods, and was slightly disoriented and dehydrated when checked in the ambulance afterward. He still won't discuss what happened to him that day, although he appears to have suffered no obvious aftereffects. My own interest in UFOs goes back to my childhood.

The third witness has since moved to a different town and we've never talked about this. ((FOLLOW-UP CORRESPONDENCE)) Dear Mrs.((deleted)), Thank you very much for the most interesting report!! I do not know what it was you witnessed that night, but I agree with your assessment that it almost certainly could not have been a conventional aircraft.

Is there any possibility that you could reconstruct the precise date of the sighting? For example, do you have a record in a bird-watching diary, fuel receipts, or something along those lines, that would permit you to establish an unambiguous date for the event?? Is there any possibility that the sighting could have occurred in March 1994? Thank you again for sharing the information with our Center! Cordially, Peter Davenport ((RESPONSE)) Hello-- I can get an exact date, but it might take a few days. We went with a large group of "horse people" (the campgrounds are primarily used for horseback groups) and one is still a friend of mine. I'll track her down and ask her, but it definitely was April.

There was a short mention in the local news about "local man missing in forest," that sort of thing, and really, by missing I mean gone. What I forgot to mention in my first message was that when they found him he was 25 miles away. Oh, and it's "Croom," not "Groom.

" I'll start tracking down the date for you. Thanks for the respons--and feel free to get in touch if you need to. I can probably volunteer some time, as well, to your organization.

((name deleted)) ((END CORRESPONDENCE)) ((SECOND FOLLOW-UP)) Mr. Davenport, I just wanted to let you know I've found the woman who runs the annual camping trip. I should have the exact date soon.

I'll be in touch. ((FOLLOW-UP)) I'm afraid no one else will be filing any reports on this one. The woman in question doesn't know what we saw that night--she was at a different part of the camping area and has never mentioned anything "odd" about that night to me.

My husband is an entirely different story. I wouldn't be surprised to find that he has a history of such experiences (we've been married 13 years and I'm 50), but he's very much in denial, both about his personal experience and the experiences of others. "Skeptic" is an understatement.

So, no--no investigators or counsellors for him. Hard to tell what he recalls of that day (and night), because, although we've made reference to "the time you got lost in the woods," that's as far as it goes; he simply won't explore it, and I don't push it. I'll just add that my ex-husband and I had a number of incidents before we divorced, and it does seem to run in my family.

(Some day, if you're interested, I'll tell you my father's story. It's quite unusual.) ((END)).

Full Report Text:

Orange Orbs in Broward County Florida. I was sitting in a chair facing east talking to my former brother-in-law out side of his parents house in the driveway. I first saw 3 round orange orbs above the tree line heading south.

They were equal distance apart from each other and if you put both arms foward and made them into a circle that about how big they were from my point of view. They made no noise and all traveled at the same speed. The only way to explain the speed is as I saw the orbs and I said to my former brother-in-law look and pointed with my finger by the time he turned around they were out of our view.

I saw a few more and my former brother-in-law still did not see them and thought I was screwing around. I ran inside and got the phone. I called the FT.

Lauderdale airtraffic control tower. I told them that this was not a prank call and they could call the police and I explained what I had saw and he told me their was nothing on radar. I sat outside for a few more hours this time with a camera but they were to fast to focus on.

I counted a total of 11 with in 2 hours all going south, all flying the same pattern. I believe this was in 1994 but I can't be sure. I have told some people but I think they thought I was making it up.

I know what I saw, I know your thinking why did I not write sooner. I have no answer to you except that I want people to know now what I saw then. I have another incident to share with you but I will wait to see how this one goes.

KEEP LOOKING UP! ((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous. We wonder whether the lights might have been military flares, launched near PD)).
