Florida UFO Sightings in 2000

((NUFORC Note: We are quite certain that this report has nothing to do with a UFO sighting. The person who submitted it describes herself as a "stripper." However, we include the report here just to demonstrate that NUFORC is on its toes, and we don't let much get by us.

We have complimented the witness on how well she writes, suggesting that she could have a second career as a professional writer. PD)) Large object above thousands. and only a few reacted.

I was with my buds in Ybor, when I noticed a large craft hovering above us. Everyone saw it some even pointed at it. But no one else was the least bit surprised by it.

It had an inscription on the side as it hovered by. it took me a very long time to read it but it turned out it was english! As it hovered just a few hundred feet above our heads I could make out "Good." then as my eyes focused ".

Year". It said "GoodYear" on it. I peered deeper into the craft and could make out a small figure inside running the entire craft.

How it was able to hover just above our head without wings, I do not know. It was almost like it could fall at anytime. I ran into a near by bar to tell everyone there, they were all excited and rushed out.

But the second they laid eyes on it they threw their arms down and went back to drinking. There was a flashing light on the bottom of it. I knew that had to be the reason for everyones immeadiate dismissal of the craft.

I don't know why it wasnt working on me, but every single person I went to looked at it, and almost instantaneous laughed or giggled and paid no more attention to it. Theses ufo's are getting more sophisticated. It was almost like everyone had seen it a thousand times.

could it be that since we are having more and more encounters that the extraterrestials have resorted to mind control? I'm not sure it was the flashing light, perhaps it was the script on the side of the vessel, perhaps the combination of the words "Good" and "Year" are some type of code words that allow extraterrestials to bypass our natural instinct of fear! Again I am not sure as to way these words had no effect to me, but it could all go back to the creations of man, maybe we're some type of hybrid monkey that the extraterrestials used as slaves and as we developed we became more modernized and fearful so they had to implant genes into our gene pool to assure us as potential slaves for future use just in case their newly appointed slaves arent as useful as we once were.

Craft was flat black, noiseless and massive and boomerang in shape all smoothe in detail outline. The UFO sighted was triangular in shape, flat black with no lights. It was hovering due south, about 100 ft or a little more over homes across the street where I was stopped in my vehicle.

There was NO NOISE. This craft was facing the Orlando International Airport. My mother, her best friend and myself witnessed this craft in its silence hovering so close to the homes roof tops.

We were directly across the street from its massive frame. The craft simulated that of a fat boomerang with not pointed edges, and huge in width. We watched this craft for several minutes before having to continue our travel.

No writing on the aircraft, my father having been a Mustang Pilot, I was familiar with decals and or writing on wings and body of most aircraft. Undoubtedly, we were all completely startled as this craft and its silence just sat so closely above these homes. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate.

PD)).

Plate like object of unique color disappears into air with a convergence of light. At appromately 3:00 am, heard dogs barking, after investigating why dogs were barking went outside and looked around, dogs were staring off in distance, when looked in that direction saw what appeared to be a plate shaped object over 400 feet in diameter, and had 5 multi colored lights each light emitted a varying array of colors from brown, white, and pinkish. The object itself appeared to be a color I have never seen, it was a cross between neon yellow and charturese green.

After staring at the object for under a minute the object appeared to swallow itself, like an octopuses tenacles and move into the distance at speed of light, leaving all 5 lights to appear as one for a brief moment, then vanish all together, the sound as it did this was like a swift breeze with a small suction popping.

((NUFORC Note: Witness does not indicate whether the event occurred during daylight, or at night. PD)) at approx. 3:45, myself and a friend observed a triangular ufo traveling slowly above at stratosphere height at approx.

stratosphere height, triangular ufo, with several lights illuminating it, passed myself and friend while we were driving home. The lights were not tinted, yet gave off a pinkish/orange hue. It was traveling at a relatively slow speed, and emitted no sound, except for a low hum.

The two observers are seniors in high school. Both were on holiday.

X-shaped object hovered above my house for 20-30 minutes. The object was grayish black in color. The shape was an x shaped with a sphere shape in the middle.

The top of the sphere had a ruby red glow looking somewhat like a window. The x parts were curved up at the tips. Also had around 8 long spikes on the bottom of the spherical section of it.

The object was hovering above my house probably at a range guessing of only 50-70 Feet above my house. It made a extremly low humming noise. It stayed a that exact position for about 20-30 minutes.

The time was 3:00 AM. The conditions was heavy clouds and cold out. ((NUFORC Note: We regret that this K12 student apparently did not have sufficient time to photograph the object.

It would have been quite the photograph! PD)).

There was a big white light in the sky over the miami international airport tonight at first we thought it was a plane or a helicopter but it hovered for about 20 min over head and then shoot out in a easterly direction.

Full Report Text:

I filmed a craft for about 2 minutes moving in differing directions. Definietly not a helicopter or plane. Last night at around 10:00 p.

m while watching TV with the Girlfriend and her 11 year old son, I noticed out the window (at about 20 degrees above the horizon) what appeared to be a rocket taking off from Kennedy Space Center (which is about 40 miles due south of our home). After commenting on this, we all hurried outside to witness the event. Soon on the lawn, we became aware that the craft was much closer (within 3-5 miles) than originally thought and was moving in differning directions.

I had the 11 year old get the sony camcorder from the house and I recorded the following: The craft is filmed for about 2 minutes moving in differing directions. Definietly not a helicopter or plane. There appeared to be two-three distinct lights on the craft, but could have been more.

It is seen traveling behind a pine tree in the distance (the tree being about 200 yrds off) and slowly is lost from the field of vision. There may have been one other such craft in the sky at the time, but I was unable to capture both objects simultaniously on film. I have retained the footage and intend to have it analyzed.

Full Report Text:

A bright, triangular series of white lights, which rose slowly, then suddenly accelerated and was gone. I was stargizing with a friend, pointed out the north star, then turned around and saw an intensely bright shape hovering over a series of homes (though it could have been farther away.) I called my friend, and by looks it could not have been an airplane or a helicopter.

It had three incredibly bright white lights arranged one on top, two on bottom (like a triangle). It was stationary for five minutes, then slowly rose up, then to the left. It did it again, this time a bit faster, and twice more.

It was very smooth in motion. It suddenly accellerated to the left, and when it passed by us, I could discern a red strobe between the lights. We watched.

and then it sharply accelerated and was gone.

I SAW THEM AND NO THERE OUT THERE they were round like stars some came straight down and others came down on angle at a high rate of speed and had no tail.one large one went east and west.I seen about 50.

the sky was clear. ((NUFORC Note: Although this is a cryptic report, NUFORC takes it seriously, nevertheless. We spoke with three witnesses to the event, and they all agree on the basic details surrounding the incident.

Approximately a dozen witnesses were looking at the sky to the south, when they all observed small, apparently distant objects streaking generally downward in the vicinity of the Sun. They may have been self-luminous, but it was difficult for the witnesses to be certain of that. The phenomenon is reported to have continued unabated for more than 20 minutes, during which the witnesses observed not fewer, they estimate, than 100-150 of the small objects.

PD)).

Multi-color fireball, Destin, FL. On Nov. 20, 2000 at 22:30 hours, my wife and I were walking west along the beach heading back to our hotel at Destin Florida.

I stopped, turned around, and started looking southeast over the Gulf of Mexico. My wife turned around as well and looked in the same direction as I was looking. About 15 seconds later, we both saw a football shaped fireball that suddenly appeared about 10 degrees above the horizion heading straight downward.

This firball was moving very slow, and we watched it for a good 6 seconds. Durning this time the fireball changed from a brilliant white color to a dual combination of burnt orange and green. The fireball was about dime size at arms length, and vanished an instant before making contact with the water.

I estimate the range from us on the beach at no more than 3 miles. While walking the beach we noticed several meteors crossing the clear, nighttime sky, and this fireball resembled none of them. It was much, much bigger and brighter, and heading downward instead of crossing the sky.

two firery lights emmitting debris with an aircraft neerby about 20:25 on 11-14-00 my wife and I heard a jet aircraft flying and looked up to the east of us and saw two possible fireballs descending similar to a shooting star but they were different then the usual ones we see . One was descending faster then the other and what was strange we did not see the aircraft at that time we thought it might have blown apart or something but as soon as the glowing yellow streeks vanished the aircrafts beacon turned on passing over the same place where the objects were seen.

Full Report Text:

This object was oval in shape, and apeared to be covered in hundreds or thousands of white lights. It literally glistened in the darkening sky. The object was huge, about the size of a baseball at arms length.

It appeared to be at least ten thousand feet altitude at 45 degrees. It was not the moon, as the full moon was visable during the sighting. The object followed the I-75 corrider through Fort Myers on the west coast of Florida.

I was west of the object looking east. It became visable to me over the southeast portion of town and then it moved slowly north for about one minute. I tried to reason this sighting as possibly a blimp.

But then it disapeared completely and reappeared roughly 5 miles north in less than 10 seconds. It continued moving north slowly about four more minutes and faded in the distance behind cloud cover. It appeared to be headed towards the Sarasota and Tampa area.

This object had to be sighted by many other people. It looked like a well lit condominium building flying through the sky.

I was at home by the pool when I saw a v shaped object come close to me and then dissapear into the sky. I was at home by the pool with my little cousin, and he was telling to look up because there were UFO's in the sky, I was trying to explain to him they were no UFO's, I was telling him they were those stars that look as if they were moving, and while we were looking up, we saw something coming from high up in the sky, in front of us, and then, when it got to like, the fence(it was flying low now) it, just flew away, real fast, leaving a trail of bright between brown and purple light. when the object was aproaching us, it was kinda like hovering, or not hovering, but flying really slow, it was a v shaped object, it had all these lights, like, blue, purple, green, and a lot of brown lights, and it looked like it was made out of some kind of metal, but like a blueish metal.

when it approached us, electricity ran through our bodies, and when it left, it made this incredibly deafening sound like that of when breaking the wind. ((NUFORC Note: Date may be approximate. PD)).

Circle cruised over head in mid after noon. it was a beutifull clear blue day today. i layed on in a lawn chair beside my pool in the sun to warm up a little.

i proped my hands on my chin with my fingers locked to shade my face and eyes from the sun. i staired off into space and watched the ocasional hawk or buzard fly over head at a couple hundred feet. the ocational insect would zip by at about 20 ft.

then a circle. the circle was preaty non discript. the sky was compteaty sky blue with no clouds.

it was a bright day with lower than average humidity and no detectable haze. i only use the term circle because its color matched the back ground sky and icould not see any 3 dementional shape. its hue at the edges was the only reason i saw it.

i did not know how big it was so i could not tell how far away it was and vice versa. if it was the hight of the insects i saw fly bye it was moving increadibly slow, like a hover, and was between 2 and six inces acros. if it was the hight of of the hawk/buzzard it moved beteen five and ten times as fast as the bird and was between 8 inches and 3 feet.

if it was the hight of a comercial pasenger jet it moved around 2 to 5 times as fast as an air plane and was same size or twice the size. it had no blinking strobe as air planes do. it came in to my view just about over head.

it was moving when i caught glemps of it and it maintianed its spead for the 3 to 5 second duration. it moved in a strait lign to the WNW. as it moved from over head its contrast in hue lessend untill i could no longer distinguish it from the uniform background at about a 60 degrea angle fron the horison.

i live about 5 miles fron an air port. its line could be traced back in that general direction. there were no plains, birds or insects in my field of view with the object.

Stationary cylinder-shaped UFO seen in clear daylight. I was sitting on a sidewalk bench, scanning the sky. I noticed at about 70 degrees up in the Northwest a fixed object.

I watched it for at least 7 minutes and it never moved. It was barely discernable to be like a cylinder, about the size of a grain of rice held at arms length. If you took a pencil and cut the eraser and the metal thing that holds it, that is the proportion.

The sky was clear blue. I shifted my gaze several times and even looked away to attempt to get my wife to come out of a shop she was in there. Each time I expected it to 'be gone' and not physical.

I fixed it over nearby landmarks and it never moved. Slowly, a small puffy cloud came from the east and covered the object. As the cloud moved on, the object had disappeared.

We saw the amber colored globes with red lights under it hover silently over the Gulf of Mexico with Nikon 10x50 binoculars. My girlfriend and I were walking on the beach on the south side of the island facing the gulf of Mexico at about 22:00 hrs. I had my binoculars with me for some evening star gazing.

I notice what apperared to be a celestial body about the brightness of Jupiter hanging over the Gulf of Mexico, so I raised my binoculars to look at the apparent planet. My binoculars are Nikon 10x50's. Once I brought the object into view I realized it was not a planet or star I was looking at.

The object when viewed through the binoculars appeared to be two gold/yellow/amber spheres side by side with red flashing lights on the bottom. The object was hovering motionless about 100 feet off of the water. I then passed the binoculars to my girlfriend and she descibed the object to me exactly the way that I saw it.

We took turns passing the binoculars back and forth until the object slowly disappeared into the fog/low level clouds. We tried to find the object again for the next hour but it was just too cloudy. The object was silent.

I say that because we watched several airplanes in the vacinity and could clearly hear the props.
