Florida UFO Sightings in 2006

Full Report Text:

Orange ball hovering over a river south of the Space Center in Florida My wife and I were traveling East on State Road #528 and got off at the Banana River Drive exit in central Florida when as we reached the bottom of the ramp we saw what looked like a round ball of orange fire. It was around 10 pm under clear skies in late December of 2006. We were almost home from an evening of visiting our son and his family when, as we reached the bottom of the off ramp, straight ahead of us in the air we spotted a ball of orange flame hovering in place in the sky.

I told my wife to 'look at that helicopter up there.' I said that it had to be on fire and she agreed. It was dark outside but a clear night and unless the ‘helicopter’ was completely painted in florescent orange paint with spotlights shining all around it, the craft we saw had to be engulfed in flames.

We fully expected it to suddenly fall to the ground, but to our amazement, it instead just quietly hovered in place until finally it made a lateral move, exactly as a helicopter might do. But where are the blinking lights I said? Any flying craft would have to have some sort of blinking lights on it so as to alert others that it's there, no doubt it's an FAA law. But there were no lights, only that glowing orange ball.

It was no more than a 1/4 mile away from us, hovering over the Banana River, roughly about 150 feet in the air. Cars began to back up behind us so we left the scene. Was it a UFO? I believe so.

I thought so then and I think so now. A sighting by a retired Air Force Colonel in Arkansas not long after our sighting was similar in appearance, as he was fortunate enough to get a picture of the orange ball like object. For background, my wife and I are both about 50 years old and live near the Atlantic Ocean about fifteen miles South of the Kennedy Space Center where I work.

Neither of us drink or do drugs, nor do we, as a general rule, look for or care about the subject of UFO's. ((NUFORC Note: Source of report indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD)).

Red and green flashing hoovering lights three witnesses We saw a formation of red and green lights over the ocean. I called the Coast Gaurd to see if there was any known lights he stated no and said he would call me back if he had any info. The formation looked like it was spinning and changing shapes.

When I firsted noticed it I went inside and got binnoculars this is when I got witnesses. It moved south west.

Rectangular object in the sky above Orlando, Florida. It was about the width of my thumb held at arm's length. It was one unit high and 6-7 wide.

It was dark grey in color against a light grey of thick overcast, though the clouds had visible forms. It was well defined with sharp corners, so I actually thought it might be a billboard hung from something, but there was nothing above it. There were no letters or other forms on it.

No one else seemed to be noticing, but we were driving. My wife and I are professional educators 67 and 68 years old. It was in the sky north of Orlando at about 30-40 degrees above the horizon.

Black Oval Shaped Halo Moving in the Christmas Night Sky I was trying to get out of my car to go into my house and as I was having a lot of back pain I had to hoist myself up out of the car. As I pulled myself up out of my car, I was kind of looking forward yet up. My 14 year old son was at my side just in case my pinched nerve in my back wouldn't allow me to hoist myself fully up.

I'm trying to get out of the car and all of the sudden I see this kind of black, flattened oval shaped thing jut out from behind this big star. It seemed black in the middle and had this white lighted halo surrounding the black flat oval thing. I literally gasped in shock and stopped dead in my tracks because I couldn't believe my eyes.

My son asked me if I was okay and I said yes, but that I'd just saw this thing in the sky. I described it, we both glanced back up and I thought it sounded ridiculous so I just dropped it and we went into the house. I told my mother about the occurence and she suggested I report it so I am.

It was really a shock to me, it looked like it came out from behind the star, but I wasn't looking long at all so I don't know, but I do know I saw what I saw and it was weird. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the incident is approximate. PD)).

UFO Sighting in Clearwater, Florida I was looking in the sky at the stars when all of a sudden, what appeared to be a star began to move south. The lighted object was as big as a star appearing to be extremely high in altitude. It moved at a slow pace for about 20 seconds till it disappeared into the night.

Around 4-5 minutes after my first sighting, myself and a friend were viewing the sky after i told him what i had observed, both of us were looking around the same spot in the sky when once again another lighted object started moving east at the same speed as the other object and was viewable for 1-2 min till it also disappeared into the night.

A craft chased us down a rural deserted road in Central Florida on Sunday, December 17, 2006. My husband and I were driving southbound on 441 between Fort Drum and Okeechobee, FL, on Sunday, December 17, 2006, approx. 5:15pm EST.

We had left the turnpike to avoid the crowds and to get a glimpse of the sunset over Lake Okeechobee on our way home to SW Broward county. This is a very remote area west of Ft. Pierce lined with thousands of acres of cattle ranches and sugar cane fields.

As it was late Sunday afternoon there were very little, if any, other vehicles on the road. Suddenly we came upon a flock of birds behaving very erractically. They were sort of disorientated-swarming like insects.

Two birds actually crashed into a billboard and hit the ground. We found this to be very strange and disturbing. About 30 seconds later my husband remarked that he hadn't seen a car behind us for at least twenty miles.

I pulled down my visor with a mirror on it and saw some headlights and said "Well, there's one now." A vehicle was on the road behind us about 1 mile back. I looked up in the mirror again and saw that this "vehicle" was quickly approaching in a "hyper-jump" kind of way.

I looked again and the thing was practically on our bumper. I yelped and my husband shouted "This guy's not gonna pass us- he's gonna ram us!" I pulled my visor down to a different angle to get a better view and that's when I saw that this "vehicle" had no tires/wheels!! (It was shiny like chrome with a arrangement of lights like I'd never seen.) Of course we were very excited at this point and my husband swerved to the shoulder of the road thinking that this thing would hit us.

We turned our heads to the left in unison and it literally disappeared in front of our very eyes. We jumped out of the car and looked up down and all around and there was nothing there. Conditions were very warm, daylight, clear skies, flat land, and very quiet.

This craft emitted no sound! I haven't slept in three nights.

i never believed in ufo's but this changed my point of view. My Chirstmas lights went out, so i went outside to check what was had happened to them. while putting the plug back in place i noticed a light on the side of my eyes.

as i looked up i tought i saw a comet. seconds later still staring at the comet. it suddenly stops in the middle of the sky basicaly on top of me.

at that moment the light changed from a flaming yellish to a whitish blue color. seconds later a white beam of light looks over the North side and moves to the North-East side very slowly and then back to the North side again. then all lights go off.

seconds later a tiny blue light starts glowing in the same place and growns into a bigger dot. the ufo moves a little to the South and blasts to the North leaving a thin white line across the sky for 5 seconds. *note* (all happened with no sounds at all).

I was outside after coming back from a dance. It was between 2:45am and 3:00am. I was outside because it was said that Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter were going to be so close together that the naked eye could see it.

So after searching the sky, I looked straight up and saw a falling star. No more than 5 seconds later, an object moved across the sky, then dissapered. It then immediately reappeared and disssapeared again.

The oject appeared pretty big, but made no noise. I knew it was not a plane because a plane being that close would make alot of noise, but the object was quiet. It was shaped like a triangle, but with one side carved in.

It was almost shaped like a stealth plane except this object had light around the edges of its sides.

Bright red "fireball" lasting about a minute then faded out, seconds later a white "shooting star"??? came into the area and then disap While returning to Wewahitchka from Panama City, near the Gulf County line. There was a large bright red shape in the sky above the tree line. This object was bright red and seemed to get "hotter" looking (more red) and increased some in size, then it decreased and went away.

Within seconds a white "shooting" star?? came from the area the red light had been and disappeared from my view (lower than tree level). We have some red towers in Wewa but this was much higher and larger than the towers. I called Tyndall AFB in Panama City to see if they had any planes up in case one had a problem and spoke with 2 different people.

The first one wanted to know if it was "santa claus", and the second one did not show much more interest other than say they did not have any planes up. I am guessing they did not take me seriously.

triangular ufo spotted on I10 on dec 9, 2006. I was driving north with my friend on I10 when she pointed to the sky over the trees next to us. There were two huge bright lights heading slowly east over the trees.

Suddenly, the craft made a sharp turn over the interstate and we could see it very clearly now. It was triangular shaped, the corners were rounded, and there was a tiny red search light in the middle of the bottom of the craft. At first it looked like a military fighter plane, but it was very fat.

It didn't make a sound as it flew over the highway.

Triangler shaped object seen flying Towards Tampa (Thankfully away from NASA.Launch at 9:30 pm) Speed was fast, only one spotted. Lights solid white with one blinking.

umm three on each side. Color was hard to see due to time of day (which was night) and cloud cover, most likly black. Had a cloaking device kept disappearing and reappearing, either it was a cloaking device or clouds.

My brother was traveling south on 41 when he spotted a black triangular object to the left (east of his location) as well that day (around dusk, early evening). He said it was just above tree line, hovering over an open pasture. It didn't make a sound and did not move.

I printed pictures of various stealth and other unknown black triangular ufo objects for him to compare. He picked the one that was an unknown stealth design, possibly a new model.

Full Report Text:

Pale green pulsing light with dark rectagular core Suspect this was space shuttle, but can't confirm. I was flying about 50nm north of Tampa, headed south, at 39,000'. I observed a slowly pulsing pale green light about 15 degrees above horizon near constellation Cetus.

Position, at first was static in relation to stars, then rapidly increased in elevation as would an aircraft on an opposite course to mine, well above my altitude. Light was elongated verticaly, a very pale geen, and pulsed on at a very slow interval, 5 sec or more between pulses. Could barely discern a dark core to the light that was rectangular, with long axis in the vertical.

Power outage and blinking lights in Polk County Florida. While sitting at home and just finishing watching a movie me and my wife were on the couch. Although we don't know if this is related there was a flash of white light either outside or from a lamp bulb.

It was to quick to tell. the power went out in the neighborhood right after for about 10 seconds and then came back on. As we sat there and talked about it I rememered I needed something at the store and on my way out to the car I saw a spotlight searching over houses.

I was pretty sure this was a power truck looking for a blown box but I don't think they saw any because they drove off a minute later. I then looked into the sky to see the little dipper and a few other stars. I a;ways see one or 2 stars that look like they're gleaming but I noticed one tonight that was not gleaming but was actually blinking.

Sometimes I know the gases in the air can make star look another color but this one was literally blinking red, green and blue. I called my wife out who is very closeminded to these things but admitted 'that's not a plane." Now I know planes move at high altitudes and sometimes apear not to be moving but they wouldn't be using those light schemes especially that high.

The light stayed stationary for about 5 minutes as we watched but as soon as my wife went in to get the camera it moved up and to the right. I took about 6 pictures at 5 mega pixels and large format but it was pretty dark in the sky so the pics do show the color and in a few it looks as though the object is 2 pieces but you can't make out a shape. I don't know much about image construction so all i can really do is increase the size to see the colors but I can't figure out a shape.

Here are some links to the cropped pics. http://img242.imageshack.

Please look at the pics and if you're in the polk county area of florida share your sightings too. Im going back outside.

The object was captured in two photographs and never seen with the naked eye. The object was round with a look similar to a jellyfish without the tenticales. It did not have lights or color.

It was gray, or smoke color. It did change position, but not shape. It was higher in the second photograph.

I have emailed the photographs to the email address provided.

I noticed the light several times while walking my dog and thought it to be one of hte more beautiful stars I had seen. It has a fluctuating Green/blue/red/white luminosity and varies in intensity almost like a brightly twinkling star, except that no matter what tie o evening or early morning, it doesn't traverse the sky like the rest of the planets and stars. I pointed it out to several other people who dismissed it as an approaching plane, however it hasn't changed position on the night I have noticed it.

I did not notic it befoe a week ago. It is positioned over south toward Fort Walton, and westward over the Gulf of Mexico. I thought perhaps it miht be a helicopter, howver it doesn't move at all, or fade.

The lights are flashing, much like an aircraft. I may be wrong, but thought to report it. as everyone else has dismissed it as a star or plane without another thought.

I am intrigued by how many people take for granted what is in the sky and aren't interested in even giving a second glance. Makes me wonder how much we actually are ginorant of and miss above us.very few people I know are willing to entertain the idea there might be something more in the nighht sky.

((NUFORC Note: Probably a sighting of Sirius, we suspect, or of some other star. PD)).

2 bomerang crafts, almost the color of the night sky. 2 bomerang crafts in tight formation flew from north to south. Craft(s) were silent.

Craft(s) were almost the color of the night sky. They flew infront of a cloud, that drew my attention. Clear, partly cloudy, cool night.
