12/28/99 lakeland florida orange ball I spotted a 'fireball' from where we were staying in lakeland. It was as I remember, quite a dark night,and rather quiet as well. I looked north at around 2305hrs.

The object passed across the sky at a speed no man made craft could possibly attain. I powered across the sky from north east to north west and was only in sight for around one minute. I felt that if I had gone to get my cacorder, I would miss it.

it was very high, a kind of orange setting sun look about it, no noise at all, the sky was clear and very cold.

it all started when my neighborwas trying out his new telescope.as we were waiting for him to locate a star so we could check it out,my father pointed up to the stars and asked if we could see these 2 objects moving across the sky.and as i looked up I couldnt believe my eyes.

it looked like two giant stars following each other at a speed of about 10 thousand miles an hour.than it really got stange because one of the objects seemed to just slam on the brakes.while the other one broke left.

the object didnt move for about one minute before vanishing into thin air.the one that turned left just seemed to fly into space.in a 45 minute period we saw these objects 3 more times.

all I can say is I will be outside tonight with my video camera.

driving west on I-10 drizzeling rain, low clouds, passing a well lited lot I noticed a small cloud reflecting the lots lights. behind the cloud I could see an object approx the size of the nose of a 747. could only see a portion of the object.

I marked it off as a water tower. about 1mi. I came to another well lighted lot and saw the same object.

color was like a tan or rust toned stainless steel. No noise. The object was moving west, same direction of which I was traveling.

Could only see it while passing those two lighted lots. It was less than 100 feet off ground. I have been back to the area, there are no water towers nor any thing else to explain what this hugh object could be.

Flat on bottom, angled slightly up to a flatter surface, then angled up much much more to the top.

On Sunday night December 12, 1999 I went outside on my patio and bend down to pick up my matches. When I lift my head up and was looking towards the sky. I noticed this bright object in the air.

At firset I though it was a couple of planes. But to my surprise it was a UFO floating in the air. It looked like a mountain of diamonds brightly shinning.

It was floating down. Under the bottom of the objcet it had like a black shadow. I couldn't believe my eyes.

I ran downstair to my friends house and told her to come outside and to see this UFO. By the time she came out the UFO was still there and she saw it. It was floating down and going behind a building.

I notice that it was alot of plans flying around the area. Some planes ere flying very low also their where flying in a circle. on Sunday, December 12, 1999 at appriomately around 8:10 pm I went outside on my patio to take my mop out.

I drop some matches on the ground I bend down to pick them up. When I lift my head up and notice this bright thing in the sky. At first I thought it was a bunch of planses of something.

I looked again and I notice that it was not. It was a bright around cirle of lights floating in the sky. The more I looked it looked like a custer of diamonds.

It was bright ligths and had an oval shape on top. and under the bottom of the round circle. It look like a black round shadow under it.

At first I could believe it. I ran down to my firend house and told her to come outside and to see this UFO. I told her to hurray, hurray.

When she came outside we ran to the area and I pointed the UFO to her. It was floating and getting lower. As it got lower it went behind this building and we could see it again.

While all this was going on I notice all these planes flying around in a circle. Some the planes were flying very low. some were moving very fast.

The UFO was in my area of town for about 5 to 8 minutes. But the planes kept on flying around in the sky. My friend called her daughter boyfriend out of the house to show him, but by the time he came out it had dissapeared.

But the planes were still circlieg around the the area. We stood out for about 40 minutes waiting to see if we could see it again. We even went driving around to see if the could try to find the location where it may have landed.

I went back upstairs and try to use my computer and it was not working right. The next day when I went to work the computers on the job was nothing working right. Another friend i was just talking and she mention to me that her computers on the job was down for some reason.

Full Report Text:

The witness saw the object obove the tree line, in the distance which he could not determine and it moved from NE to NW at 8 degrees above the horizon. There were no sounds or trails left from the object and it disappeared below the tree line. He saw this object on Sept.

7th when there were so many sightings over the Florida area and he reported that sighting in great detail. He felt that he should report this also since it looked the same. This information is submitted by MUFON of Hillsborough and Pinellas counties in Florida.

Because this object looks like the reported object seen on Sept. 7th 1999 he felt that it should be documented as often as he sees it in his area. We have contact with this witness at all times and his testimony is regarded as credible information.

((NUFORC Note--Our gratitude to Lorraine Gerber, Assistant State Director for MUFON for Northern Florida, for this report.)).

I looked up and saw a what looked like a star shot downward and stop mid air and all of sudden like a flash it shot upwards the opposite way and it disappeared. No sound or smoke jets nothing just a ball of light that stopped mid air and shot up the opposite wat so fast it dissapeared.

At just past midnight, I observed what appeared to be a small steady white light (no blinking, no green or red); it could have also been a reflection of ambient ground lights against the body of the craft. I've satellites at twilight in space, this was not a satellite. This was within the atmosphere (2500 FT up) NO sound.

It moved from NW to SE at very high rate of speed. Faster than any craft I've ever observed. The craft appeared as a single steady white light against a clear sky.

Other craft have flown at the same approximate height and higher, including jets and travel at much slower speeds, additionally they all have some blinking or colorized light which is observable. This caught my attention because of the steady FAINT white light (or reflection) AND the speed AND the silence. Things were pretty quite just after midnight! Yet this craft made NO sound and crossed my field of view within 3-4 seconds.

I could NOT decipher any shape whatsoever. The light was oblong and at arms length from my distance of view and about the size of an aspirin, although it was not in space, nor near space, it was definitely between 2000-3000 feet in altitude. The local airports are directly west of my location.

It came from the NW and was headed southeast, which is the Atlantic Ocean. The flight path of the craft I observed was unique. I have lived at this location for twelve years and do not recall ever seeing a craft flying along the trajectory I observed this craft flying.

Unfortunately, it all happened so fast, I was unable to photograph or film the sighting. I would like to know if anyone else by chance saw this? Or, if you have an explanation, please contact me.

a most spectacular sighting over central florida while heading s/e/ in the north side of bradenton. a brilliant orange ball with a tail was seen. the sky was crystal clear and a full moon was visable to the north.

the ball was 1/2 the size of the full moon. it had a tail that was the length of your hand closed. it was headed up at a 45 degree angle and to the south east.

it changed to a dark red and immediately reversed direction to the north on a horizontal plane. the tail was now angled 45 degree's back to the s/e and down. there was a bright white flash and the color of the ball changed to blue.

there was now a white cone around the ball oposite the direction of travel. it appeared to have dropped components ( shields?) the tail had dissapeared at this point. it again changed directions and headed away and up from it's last direction.

it got smaller and started to flash rapidly between blue to white . it then flashed, doubled it's size and white lazer lights appeared from the sides. it then dissapeared from sight behind the trees.

the sighting took two to three minutes to play out.

i was facing due south when i saw a ruby red light speed by horizontally,just above the trees, going from west to east. because of the nature of my sons birth defects and illnesses i am trained to report what i see accurately, without embellishment. this the only way a doctor can make an accurate diagnosis.

on the night of ll/18/1999, i witnessed a bright, ruby red light traveling at a high rate of speed,going from west to east. it appeared to be at a height just above the tree tops. this whole sighting lasted no more than 3 seconds.

i was standing on the porch in front of my house. my two sons,22 and 24 years old, were facing me, talking with me. by the time i said,"did you see that?", and they turned around, it was gone.

it didn't dissapear. it was no longer visible from my vantage point, as the trees were in the way.

I was outside at night, and sitting on my deck to my pool looking at the stars. I found one star It caught my attention becaus eit was almost a golden star and bright. I looked at it for a while and it started to move.

Then it moved faster and it flewfaster and faster then wen't right over me and kept going. As I was watching the stars on my deck, I found a golden star. Which was odd because it was so bright and it was goldish colored.

I watched it for a while. It started to move slowly towards the left and i thought it was just me. But I realized it was moving because it was getting closer.

It wasn't so bright anymore and it kept moving inch by inch, and eventually moving pretty fast. As it flew over me I knew it was a UFO because it looked like triangle with straight sides and it was 3-dimensional. I was amazed that i couldn't move.

It felt like it was moving in slow motion. I could hear my heart beating and as the object kept moving I seen three lights one at each corner. I still couldn't move I was so moved by this object.

And eventually when the object was out of sight i caught my breath and slowly stood up as if i was frozen and wen't inside telling my sister what i saw but she doesn't belive me.

Saw an orangeish , yellowish, goldish, self illuminating craft. It illuninated only itself and did not light anything around it. It was the size of a small Mall - extremely large.

It made no sound. It was terrifiying experience. We felt compelled to run towards the light and did.

We did not want to run toward but did run toward it anyway. We went for a walk at around 9:30 pm. We ended up walking about a Mile and a half and we were standing on a dam over the "C- 24" Canal when we looked up in the sky and saw the self luminating craft.

It was a orangish, yellowish, it lured us to go closer but we were scared and wanted to run away but couldn't turn away. We ended up walking about anouther mile trying to get closer to it. The next thing we know we were walking in the other direction and we realized that we had lost approx.

two hours of time !!! It was now 1:30am ! We were drained of energy however we were not sweaty at all. We never heard any sound coming from the craft.

Moving very fast upward then disappeared I was riding back from work and looked in the sky and saw a light moving very fast upward direction and then disappeared.

Full Report Text:

Bright light appearing suddenly.then a large saucer like craft with a tranlucent like skin appeared over our head! Like someone turned on a light switch in the night sky. A bright white light appeared in the sky and we watched it for several minutes.

We were unsure if it was a bright star or an airplane's landing lights.but it didn't twinkle like a star and seemed to hover and move side to side ways and exhibited strange characteristics unlike any other light source.natural or man-made.

It was easy to see it was imminating from the bottom of the object since the glare was directed downward. As we questioned it's origins it responded by gyrating in circles.kind of like a spinning top when it starts to wobble.

Then like a flash the object responded to our curiosiy in it's size and in an instant went from being a bright light in the distance to a large craft(maybe a half mile in diameter).it is at this point that I grabbed my girlfriend and started to run like hell! Terrified I turned to look over my shoulder, at the same time the Craft jumped back up into sky and dissapeard behind some clouds. As I looked over my shoulder one last time I saw the same bright white light popping in and out from behind some clouds.

We got in the car and started home.but our curiosity got the best of us and we went back to see if it was still there. When we returned the sky was very dark.

we could hear a very lo pitched hum and smelled an odd burning scent like fuel but not gasoline. We were so terrified we haven't been back since. What was this?? PLEASE HELP!.

Boomerang-Shaped Craft Spinning Slowly and Steady in the Night Sky My sighting happened a long time ago, over 20 years ago. I have faint images in my mind but I remember exactly what I saw and what happened that night. It was between the years of 1997 and 1999, I know without a doubt it was a Halloween night and it was after dark.

I remember staring up at the sky and seeing something shaped like a boomerang with round white lights on the bottom. It was spinning at a slow but steady rate while revolving elliptically and moving in one direction. I was stuck gazing at it (I don’t know for how long, maybe a minute or so) and I remember my mother screaming in terror, she brought me close to her and covered my face and I could hear her praying and asking god to help us.

She also saw something but what her and I saw were two entirely different things. I saw a boomerang shaped craft high up in the sky. My mother saw a crown-like disk shaped object (about the diameter of a beach ball, she says) that flew and stopped right in front o! f her and then vanished ridiculously fast into the sky as soon as she began to yell and pray.

I tried to look up to find the boomerang shape craft after she released me but it was not there anymore. Till this day, my mother and I still remember that night and we talk about it from time to time. We both are certain that we saw something that night, I was between the ages of 7 and 9 years old.
