Florida UFO Sightings in 2005

Full Report Text:

Noticed "star" moving across sky.it stopped.continued moving, and changed color.

streaked away in a second. While checking the night sky, I noticed a "star", roughly 2/3 the size of Venus at this time of year (which is quite large), moving across the sky, from SW to NE. The light it emitted seemed to be more muted in intensity than the stars or planets, such as Venus.

This light had no flicker, nor movement of any kind. Self-illuminated? That was my thought about it. Thquality of this lightimmediately struck me as a bit odd, and it stood out from the rest of the night sky.

As I was watching it, I thought I heard jet engines, which I did. Another aircraft passed by, crossing the other vehicle's path, though clearly not at the same altitude. This is when I took special notice.

As the jet appeared to get closer to the path of the first craft, the first craft came to a complete stop.totally stationary.and it sat like this for 10 seconds or so.

Once the jet had traveled for about 6 seconds, across the path and beyond, the first vehicle returned to motion and continued on its way. At this time, there was no audible sound from that area of the sky, or anywhere else in the sky.eerily silent.

As this vehicle continued on, I watched it for another 5 seconds or so.as I did this, its color changed from the white light it was emitting, to a reddish orange color. Once the color changed ocurred, it streaked out of sight.

yes, it accelerated from the speed it had been maintaining to "gone in a second". No contrail, no sound.just gone.

I went inside and immediately told my husband, who agreed that I should file this report. Just to let you know, I have filed a couple of reports in the past with NUFORC. I am an avid skywatcher, so I tend to notice things that are odd, or out of place.

Question over what i saw. I have a question pertaining to what i saw. I saw a triangular (equilateral) craft.

White circle lights each corner, red and blue flashing lights on the rear edge (singular lights one of each) and i believe it was a flashing red (?) light towards the front(?) or maybe center(?) Honestly dont remember. I question if this was a known aircraft or if it was it possibly a UFO? I dont want to be somone who each time they see lights in the sky they are crying UFO!!! I know there have been a lot of reports of triangular craft. I made a report of seeing a orb last month (Nov 26th?), so seeing this, this month has me skeptical.

Yes, i heard noise from it; Sounded like it could have been a normal craft, though it wasnt as loud as i would expect. But again, i do not pay a great deal of attention to planes etc in my area.It was Approx the size of my thumb nail, give or take.

I am not sure what direction it was heading? I would appreciate it if somone would contact me, and let me know if this could have been, or if it is just a regular airplane common to the US. I really dont want to be another crack pot enthusiast. I believe very seriouly in the UFO phenonema, just not sure what the Govt has flying thru the skys, or where the aviation technology has led to.

I am sorry that I am not giving better info, i was mentally tearing apart what i was seeing in comparison to what others have reported. I would appreciate further contact thru my email, and if necessary i can provide further info. Thank you.

Bright Orange / Red Light with no strobe lights It was a clear night, and my fiance and I were sitting in the back yard. He looked to the west and noticed a bright orange/red light tracking north east, in the same flight pattern as the planes. We live near Ft.

Lauderdale Airport. We called inside to the rest of the family and they all came outside. We watched it slowly move, northeast for about a minute and a half.

It then dropped what appeared to be a fire ball to the earth, then completely disappeared. There is no way that it could have been a meteor or a satelite as it was traveling very slow, about the same speed as a plane. It was also very low to the ground, about 15,000 feet and 7 or 8 miles out.

It looked like it split in half. I called Ft. Lauderdale Airport and asked if a plane had crashed.

The head of avaiation said that he would call the control tower and get back to me. He called back and said that they saw nothing on there radar systems.

Dark triangle shape with v-shaped lights over the St Johns River. I'm a Captain of a tugboat and was returning to my dock after finishing a job. I was heading outbound on the St Johns River entering Trout River Cut on a NE course.

The weather was poor all day with rain and wind and the weather at the time of this sighting not exactly perfect with rain squalls and wind. As I turned into the cut I could make out one white light up ahead about a mile and a half off of my bow slightly to starboard. I figured it was probably a small vessel that I would keep an eye on.

As I got a little closer I notice two lights, one on top of the other, like the mast lights of a tug with a tow so I gave a security call on my VHF with no response. I checked my radar but it was obscured with the rain and was, " all greened out". The lights seemed to be stationary about a mile or so ahead of me and seemed to be at or just above water level.

About a minute later I was becoming concerned about having to meet a tow in this narrow channel in this kind of weather, so I decided to shine my spotlight at the lights. I did this to make the other vessel aware that I was heading in its direction and to also try and see if I could tell what kind of "boat" I was about to meet. As soon as I hit the lights with my spotlight it made a Bee-line right for me at a pretty good pace.

I immediately turned off my spotlight and thought " Oh great, I just blinded a Navy Helicopter pilot from Mayport". But as the light came closer more white lights appeared kinda in a line with the center light brighter and the lights out to the side of it dimmer. I got this weird chill up my spine and thought "Holly Crap its a $@#!@^% UFO!" It passed my tug down the starboard side at about a 40 degree upward angle.

It was probably about 200 feet off of the water heading rapidly SW. As it passed I could make out a dark triangle silhouette with 6 to 8 white lights in a V shape on the underside. It was fairly large , about the size of a bus.

I watched as it passed and the silhouette against the low clouds looked almost saucer like from the back. In few seconds it was gone heading towards downtown Jacksonville. I never heard a sound.

I have ran tugs for a while and have never seen anything like this. I have never believed in little green men or any of that other stuff but this shook me up. I had 3 other crewmen on the tug with me but 2 of them where off watch and sleeping and my engineer was making his rounds.

It spooked me so much I had my engineer sit with me in the wheelhouse the rest of the trip. I did not tell him why, just that the weather was bad. He could tell I was shook up and I brushed it off for fear of him thinking I was seeing things.

I've heard other mariners say they have seen things but I always didn't really give it much mind until now. As soon as I got home I went online to look for information and am amazed at all of the similar sightings. I now have a new prospective and I'm a little uneasy about what I might run across while I'm at sea.

small object thought of as a star started moving, changed direction then faded away small object appeared to be a star, but then it started moving- but with no flashing FAA lights and it quickly turned direction and traveled a little bit further but not very fast and the light faded away.

Full Report Text:

3 objects moving at what apppeared to be high speed. They were observed to criss-cross. Moving at high speed.

I am close to both Orlando Airport and Orlando Executive Airport, but these were not planes. low ceiling, and they disappeared from site, either going into clouds or??? ((NUFORC Note: We spoke with this witness via telephone, and he reported that the objects appeared to be below the clouds, and their apparent size from his vantage point was approximately equal to that of stars in the night sky. He was on the fourth floor of a hotel, at the time of the sighting.

3 Bright lites hovering 5,000 ft.above the water with no sound at 5pm on the 15th.of this month.

AWESOM!! I'm a trucker and I was traveling westbound on Hwy.46 about 15 miles from I-95. I was about to enter seminole county and I saw the lights.

I thought they were Helecopters,but,as I got closer, they were'nt moving. Just kinda of sitting in the sky, Very bright lites. I noticed a green/violet hue to there lites.

No sound cause I pulled over near a boat ramp to see. It just hit me when I read the sighting from the posting from orlando. I blew it off and never thought about it till now.

I remember it like it was yesterday. They just hovered over the water in those lakes at the seminole/brevard county lines out in the swamp.I was going west and they were on my left side about 11 o'clock about 5,000 ft.

from the water and just sitting in the sky.I never believed in this stuff till I saw it for myself.the formation was 3lites!.

Light hangs mid-air then dashes across entire horizon before dissapearing Was working on a concrete pool, when I spotted a amber light far east. It was not moving at first, just hanging in the sky. After staring at it for about 30 seconds it started moving erracticly (not a straight line) then shot across the entire sky in about 5 seconds.

The moon was not visible that night. And there were very few clouds. Besides the object, it was a black dark night sky.

Perfectly circular cloud with a circular rainbow on the edge of the round cloud. (This report may not fit the defintion for UFO reports, but I include this report since it is an odd event in my opinion; it may not have anything to do with UFO's.) Navarre Beach, Florida December 12, 2005 starting at 9:00AM Picture taking didn’t begin until 9:18AM and ended at 9:21AM.

On December 12, 2005, I was in Navarre Beach, Florida working on a construction site erecting a 29 story [level] condo. At 9:00AM after being on the reed bar slab since 6:30AM, I came down to the ground from the condo slab for my 9:00AM coffee break. I was still wearing my polarized sunglasses at the time when I just happen to glance up into the sky and noticed what appeared to be a circular and grayish cloud with a colorful rainbow on the outer skirt of this circular-like cloud.

The barely noticeable rainbow completely encased the round type cloud similar to a halo effect. I was thinking to myself, "This is unusual. I have never seen a cloud formation that was so perfectly round; not only that, I never seen a rainbow that was so perfectly round during the daytime, only a rainbow that was half a circle and normally connected to the ground at both ends.

" I removed momentarily my polarized sunglasses to see if I could see more clearly defined details as in colorfulness in this rainbow that was on this unusual cloud effect. To my dismay, the colorful rainbow effect was less perceivable than when I was wearing the sunglass and looking thru it at the rainbow. This unusual cloud formation with the rainbow, kind of reminded me of what I once saw many years ago, when I was looking at the moon on a very cloudy night.

It had a rainbow ring around it when the moon shined through the clouds. That phenomenon is explainable: When there is a high concentration of moisture within the cloud, the moonlight shinning through the cloud can possibly create a rainbow effect as in a halo around the moon. When a halo effect around the moon is normally seen, this is usually a good indication that within a 24 hour period, there is a very good possibility of rain occurring in the region.

I told my supervisor who was standing next to me, and I guided him with my hands and pointing in the general direction of the unusual cloud formation with the rainbow on the outskirts of the grayish, circular cloud. He could barely see with his eyes what I was showing him; yet, he was able to perceive that there was something there with a rainbow effect which was almost unnoticeable . He joked that it could be a UFO, and I told him that I didn’t think it was a UFO but a very strange event; possibly Eglin experimenting with weather control which is a joke in itself.

I also told my boss as in a joke that is could be a wormhole, and that is how UFO’s were able to travel vast distant, but that was only as a joke; although, it had me thinking a little about it after I said it. I told him I had a camera in my truck and asked him for permission if I can takes some pictures of this unusual cloud with the rainbow which he granted me permission. I took 9 pictures with a digital camera.

If I didn’t have to work at that moment, I would had taken more pictures and watched this cloud until it could no longer be seen. Let it be known, there was no doctoring to the pictures that I had taken nor is there any hoax that I know of associated to the rainbow cloud mention above. Not known at the time when the pictures were taken, there had been some sighting on November 7, 2005 seen in the general area which is bizarre when you connect those UFO sighting with the odd cloud event.

I may had witness maybe once in a lifetime an unusual cloud formation with the rainbow effect. This could explain the event I saw several years ago of changing patterns of lights I saw at night which I originally thought to be a planet or large star. I’m still searching for an answer for how a cloud can be formed perfectly circular with a rainbow effect.

If it were not for color gray inside the cloud, you could say it was a big bubble, but what could make a bubble that big?.

It wasn't that late at night, the air craft was extremly big and had some unique colors coming from it. The object that we saw looked like a triange, but the back of it was curved in. The lights i remember seeing from it were yellow and green.

My parents though it had been a satelite, being launched to space. Trust me, this was no satelite. At the time of the incident, I had a weird jitery feeling.

I was very confused, and felt very weird. The craft made no sounds at all, even though it flew about 250 feet over our heads.

I was driving home I saw the object first about 7 miles from my house and it quickly disappeared the about a mile from my house i saw it again this time it hovered in place for about 5 seconds then instantly moved about 2 feet to the left which I think from it's distance away from me could have been a couple of miles then it disappeared then reappeared at the treeline which is about 4 feet from it's second position I did not plan to report it until today when I saw something else which I will file a second report for the light was blinking multable colors i.e. red blue yellow ((NUFORC Note: One of two reports from same witness.

We do not know what he witnessed. PD)).

Large & close up viewing by 3 people of a cigar shaped object with 2 bright red glowing orbs at each end. I was reading a few sightings in 2005 close to my area (this includes crawfordville & st george island) I was curious to find out if there were any other sightings reported at the time my 2 sons & I had our particular sighting and to my surprise I found some reports around the same time. The date I am reporting is approximate but I know it was between Nov & Dec of 2005.

I was sitting on the couch watching TV with my 2 sons when I heard my dog barking. I turned around and found her looking out the open front door and at the same time one of my sons was walking over to her to see what she was barking at. I was getting up myself to see what was going on when I saw my son looking out the door towards where the dog was looking.

At that point he said, "What is that?" My second son and I went to the front door and looked out and hovering above several of our neighbors houses and very close to the trees was a huge object and we were staring directly at it! At first our eyes were directed to 2 red non blinking lights that were opposite of each other and when our eyes started focusing in the dark a little better we could see that there was a very dark (almost matching the night sky dark)cylindar looking object that these lights were a part. This gave it a cigar looking appearance and as each end looked like burning embers of red & it made no sound whatsover. My son who first spotted it was scared and ran back into the house.

My other son & I watched it slowly move towards the south of us (towards the Crawfordville area). After I gathered my thoughts I rushed inside & tried to find my camera but I could not find it so I ran back outside & hopped into my car with my other son as I wanted to try to follow it and get a better view but it just took off & I did not spot it again. My kids & I have never forgotten that night and have never seen anything like it since.

I am a full time professional women & a busy "soccer" mom & to this day I am shaken by what we saw. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate. PD)).

Two bright lights in orlando strange behavior. Was going out to my car about 645 pm up in the northeastern sky I noticed 2 bright lights about as bright as venus.The objects appeared to be moving outward towards space I turned to put the key in to open the door.

When I turned and looked back one object was completely gone the second objet was fading away at a rapid pace and looked for sure to be moving out of the atmosphere.This is the second time in about 6 or 7 months that I have seen simular objects.Not sure what they are but I am sure they were not planes or satilites.

Full Report Text:

the object seen was oval in shape with two winglike projections and a blue light emanating from the tail as seen with a pair of binoculars. it was shining brightly and appeared lower than the surrounding distant fainter fuzzy stars in the dark sky. it was immobile and sharply outlined against the dark sky.

i have never seen anything like it and concluded that this must be a ufo.

dull roundish blur crosses night sky The sky was clear with clouds low on the horizan. Visability was very good.I was sitting out, staring up at the sky in one area, and saw a satelite go by, i am assuming.

could have been a plane? Not real sure but it passes the same path every night. With the little dipper above, handle pointing down, a round oval blur, looked a deep gray (maybe)but with a light luminece to it, not at all bright, passed below the lil dipper, making a straight path to pass below Orions belt which was from the direction i was looking, was lower than the lil dipper to my right. I am thinking SE?.

It moved at a very steady, smooth pace. but was quicker than a plane. No lights or sound.

Holding my arm out it was probably the size of my thumb nail? I thought maybe a bird, questioning myself, considering different options, but i dont think a bird could move at that speed. It didnt appear to have a sharp edge. it appeared blurred, but again with the color and the speed and with the night sky, thats would be hard to detect.

I mentioned a luminence, only reason i say that is because i was able to follow it clearly across the sky, until it got around orions belt where i couldnt see it any more. Shooting star? No, again there was no real light, just a kind of very low almost unnoticable glow? If i wasnt looking to see something, i never would have caught its movement i dont think. It came from corner of my field of vision and shot across.

I was kinda in awe when i saw it, as this would be the 4th time i have seen something of this nature in my lifetime. I am 34 yrs old, single mom of two, Associates degree in Med Admin. I am honest and realistic, not one to give into fantasy.

I debated whether i should report it, whether it would be of any import? All i can say is . Wow. ((ADDENDUM FROM ORIGINAL WITNESS)) THIS IS A CORRRECTION to an ealier report i sent in yesterday.

The object passed below the handle of the Lil Dipper and just above the upper most star of Orians belt. I am sorry for the error. I noticed it in the report i sent to MUFON.

((END ADDENDUM)).
