Florida UFO Sightings in 2008

Full Report Text:

Orange Fire Balls headed East over Atlantic Ocean Two low flying fire balls traveled from the Northwest in an Easterly direction out to the Atlantic Ocean. The approximated altitude is estimated at 5000 feet and climbing intot he atmosphere as it approached the ocean. The orange-colored fireballs took approximately 3 minutes to travel the entire landscape over me.

The lights discipated as they distanced over the ocean. It was very difficult to focus on the objects. They traveled in nearly identical patterns.

I have it on video here is a 'screen shot close up of the video' I took the image and lightened it so you can see it better http://i43.tinypic.com/24y6934.

jpg in the video you can see them flying together. there was ONLY one jet in the sky and you could hear it. It was very very loud im guessing it was a military jet.

Six orange orbs plague the skies of Publix in Davie. Date: 12/28/2008 Time: 19:17 P.M Duration: 2-3 min.

City: Davie Country: United States of America Witnesses: 5-6 Number of Crafts: 6 In Davie, Florida on the night of Sunday December 28, 2008 at 9:14 P.M, my family and I were driving south down Flamingo road. When it was 9:17 P.

M., I first noticed 3 orbs, but then they multiplied to 6 reddish-orange orbs. The three that came out of the first three were blinking, unlike the original orbs.

They seemed to be making strange shapes or symbols in the sky. We quickly pulled into the Publix parking lot, which was practically vacant. My father, my brother, and I walked out of the car while my mother stayed in the car.

There was another man there too. He was going down the same road and noticed the same lights. A bag boy from Publix seemed to notice them, too.

They were completely silent and left no steam or smoke. My brother tried to take a picture of them, but they were probably too small to show up on camera. The man who was there watching with us was trying to take pictures of the strange crafts with his phone.

They did not show up once he captured the image. My brother, one of the witnesses, and I heard ringing in our ears. It was strong in our left ears, but faint in our right.

After the event, I decided to do some research on UFOs, and realized, this sighting is very similar to a series of lights sighted by thousands over Arizona. I would estimate the orbs to be about 15-30 feet in diameter. While I was staring at the orbs, I felt a knot in my stomach.

They were slow moving, yet got to each other very quickly. They moved faster than our car which was traveling about 35 mph while heading down the road. It was easy to tell they were not part of one orbs.

The objects seemed to be mid sky, no where near the horizon.

Six red-orange orbs appear over Davie skies. Date: 12/28/2008 Time: 9:17 P.M.

Duration: 2-3 minutes City: Davie Country: United States of America Witnesses: 5-6 Number of Crafts: 3-6 In Davie, Florida on Sunday December 28, 2008, my family and I were heading south on Flamingo road, just past the American Heritage Academy. Around 9:14 P.M, my brother pointed out three redish-orange, spherical objects in the sky, which we soon discovered three more to reach a total of six.

We pulled out our digital camera, but the objects were too small to be considerably noticeable. Frantically, we pulled into the parking lot of Publix, just down that road, where we stopped and witnessed the six objects. We sat there, befuddled, trying to determine what it was.

I remember rolling down my window, trying to determine if they were radio antennae. They appeared to be slow-moving, however, it moved faster than our car, which was traveling at about 35 miles per hour. In the parking lot, another man pulled off of the same road to witness these objects.

They stopped in the sky and appeared to align themselves in regular patterns. The formation was as followed: Four lights formed a square while the other two slanted in a line below the square. They seemed to be midway in the sky, not near the horizon, but where you would expect to see radio towers.

They appeared to be the size of a planet in the night sky, but smaller than the moon. From where we were standing, they looked to be about 10-30 feet in diameter. We stood in the parking lot watching them line up and move along for about 2-3 minutes.

During this time, an airplane flew below it, however, records at the Hollywood International Airport state that everything was as it should’ve been, and no special aircraft were in the air at that area or that time. The quantity and formation of the lights changed, however, the color did not. They seemed to be heading west, towards the Florida Everglades.

After the experience, I noticed a faint ringing in my left ear on my way home which soon subsided.

Soundless rectangular object with many light glides quickly across the night sky In the air directly above, moving from west to east, what looked to me like one rectangular shaped object with a row of 4 lights on each side glided through the sky quickly with no noise at all. Before disapearring from sight, the two rows of 4 lights split, with one row turning north and the other row moving south. The event lasted 7 to 10 seconds.

It was witnessed by me and a friend laying on a blanket looking up at the sky.

ufo over springhill florida i was looking up at the orion system. above the sqare portion of the star formation, about what appears to be a distance of twenty feet from the ground, a star that appears to be orange in color. as if it where going dim.

i noticed a high flying jet with an evident strobe about maybe 30.000 ft. when all of a sudden, for a brief moment i observed a cigar shaped craft out of the corner of my right eye, following it to full vision, then it was gone.

it was luminous white, emitting a white trail. it then vanished as if being cloaked suddenly. this object was far closer to earth than the aircraft at 30.

000. it was not a shooting star. if i were looking to the right, or southeast alittle more, i would have seen it for a longer duration.

there was no apparent ark to its trajectory.

Two light objects sighted flying south off the west coast of Sarasota, FL The following event was observed on December 25th 2008 at approximately 8pm eastern time from the 7000 block of Point of Rocks Rd, Sarasota, FL (N27-14.6 W082-32.00).

The visibility was greater then 10 miles, the cloud layer was scattered at approximately 5000 feet and the winds were out of the south east at approximately 10-15 knots on the surface. At 8pm eastern time, I observed a lighted object roughly 3 miles to the north west of my position about 60 degrees above the horizon, moving south paralleling the west coast of Siesta Key. The object initially appeared to be a plane with an engine fire but as it approached closer to my position it became apparent that it was more of a spear emitting light similar to intensity and appearance of a common marine flare, flickering yellow and orange/red in color.

The object traveled from its position north west of me, almost due south, paralleling the coast for about 2-3 miles. At its closest point of approach it was due west of my position by approximately 2 miles, or about 1.5 miles west of the beach of Point of Rocks.

At this point the object appeared to stop moving and began to climb. I was unable to determine if the object actually stopped moving, or turned its motion directly away from me. Either way, the object climbed into the cloud deck and began to fade from sight as it passed through the 5000’ scattered cloud deck.

As it began to climb and fade from sight, another object, identical in appearance to the first, appeared approximately 2 miles to the north west of my position at approximately the same altitude taking an almost identical flight path as the first. The first object had faded completely away by the time the second object made its closest point of approach to my position. It also appeared to stop or turn away from my position like the first, climb and penetrate the 5000’ cloud deck and fade from sight.

The entire event took approximately 4 minutes from visually acquiring the first object to the second object’s fade from sight. My best estimates of their velocity would be in the 60-120 knot range. I estimate this based on the position of the object above the horizon in relation to the cloud deck which I estimated to be at approximately 5000’.

There was no sound associated with the objects, as mentioned above; they emitted a tremendous amount of light energy with flickering similar to a flare. I was able to train a high power telescope on the second object and saw nothing but a pulsating light that I would have reported as a flare if the trajectory had not been what it was. I currently work as a professional offshore pilot in the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean.

I have seen flares, fighter jets afterburners at night, oil rig burn offs, boat fires, large shooting stars breaking apart, plane crashes and countless other night time lights and phenomena. I am convinced that this was none of these. Doing my best to confirm that I did not witness the flare of a vessel in distress, I spoke with the local Coast Guard Sector.

As I was explaining what I observed, the Petty Officer Cut me off mid sentence and asked if I think I saw a UFO. I advised I was not sure when he told me that he just received a report from another source in the same area of an identical sighting and it was being reported as a UFO. I placed calls with all of the local Air Force and FAA airspace controllers, who all reported no operations in the area.

I followed up with the Coast Guard on the December 26th, who advised there were no further developments with this case. ((NUFORC Note: We spoke with this witness via telephone, and we suspect that the person is a superlative witness. We would welcome reports from the other witnesses present, or from anyone else in the Sarasota, who may have been witness to the same event.

PD)).

A multi colored brightly shining star it was not! It first appeared as a bright star in the night sky, but after closer observation & taking pictures & video we realised it was something more. It was circular in shape & had multiple colors, from the video it was obvious that is was spinning & had a pattern to it.

The event we saw was of a silent boomarang shaped spacecraft almost invisible with light blending in with the body. My wife and I live on the beach and on the night of December19, 2008 we walked out to the water to look at the stars. We saw what at first we thought was a v-formation of white birds, it was dark and hard to see flying north paralell to the beach.

When the objects were overhead much to our amazement there was a spacecraft flying by. The spacecraft was boomarang shaped with about 4 lights on each wing. The craft looked like something out of the Predator movie because it was almost invisible but it was there and you could not see the stars behind it.

It also seemed to have lights within itself, tiny ones blurr into the shape of the craft. When the event was over, there was no doubt in either of us on what we saw. There was no sound and no one else was on the beach.

The craft took a hard right and the lights seemed to disappear. ((NUFORC Note: Witness does not indicate the time of the sighting. We have assigned an artificial time for the event.

PD)).

Dozens of orbs clearly seen cruzing in Pasco County, Florida. Dozens of Orbs December 19, 2008, 12:20pm Dade City, Fl On Friday I was working in my house. I had to make a trip out to my tool shed for some materials.

On exiting I looked up into a beautiful blue partly cloudy sky only to see dozens, I would say at least 75 to 100 metallic orbs headed from due east to due west. These orbs were quite easy to see so I had no need to run into the house for my binoculars. Rather than flying in formation they were spread out but in reference to each were fairly close in the group which was quite a many orbs.

Following behind broken away from the group was about 15-20 more. I had about a minute to examine these orbs as they went from about 60 degrees East to about 70 degrees West before they either went into or over clouds . Their size was about the size of a BB held in your hand.

They were all the same size and description. Their speed was as if they were on a Sunday drive and there was absolutely no noise. We are in the inbound path for Tampa International Airport and I could not help but notice that there was no action for a good while.

There was very little wind and the temp was about 78º. The orbs didn’t reflect very much light, that is to say that my vision was not hampered by glare, each was clearly visible. I was able so see them so well that I could tell that these objects were round orbs gliding smoothly through the skies, not birds, as I said, I could see them clearly.

Neither were they planes or ultra-lights or swamp gas. They were a mass of silent running genuine UFO. I shook for about thirty minutes after the sighting and waited for about an hour before calling the report in.

I wanted to get my thoughts together. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. We believe the source of the report may have been the gentleman we spoke with via telephone, but we have no way of being certain.

Tamiami Executive airport, bright star moving at irregular speeds. As I walked to my bus stop to catch my shuttle to my aviation school, up in the distance from a southern direction about a 1/2 mile away from where I was, I noticed a very large bright white star . As I looked back up to look at this so called star, I noticed it was moving in a northerly direction toward me.

As it moved Above me at about 500ft-1000ft. its speed reduce form about 60MPH to about 15MPH. it was extremely bright and it did not emit any sound what so ever.

I believe that this UFO was the size of a Cessna model 401. And as it passed over me it kept in northerly direction it sped up to a to about 200MPH gradually over Tamiami executive airport, which is about a half mile form where I was at the moment and reside. And I lost sight of the craft in just a minutes in 10 mile visibility.

I know that that object was no A/C of any known sort because it had no nav lights and it made no engine or jet noise. the time of the event was 5:49 am of 12/19/08. about half a mile away form KTMB.

Strange blue cylindrical lights flying in from Ocean At approximately 9:20 pm while walking in a Westerly direction 3 blocks from the Ocean in Pompano Beach, Florida I witnessed flying between two clouds 2 cylindrical shaped objects traveling so fast that if I had blinked I would have missed it. They were flying in formation and appeared to be as two giant cigars emitting a strange blue hue like a florescent light. The only way I can access the speed would be to say that there were Passenger planes flying in as well, I would have to assume towards the Fort Lauderdale airport, and it took the planes approximately 15 seconds to reach the point that I had seen the objects pass by.

This was definitely not light from any other source as the objects which passed were self contained and finite and not as light emitting from somewhere else. The objects were also flying well above the passenger planes.

flashing light seen and vidoe taped over Titusvlle florida for approximately 45 minutes My wife came home from work at 21:03 hrs eastern and told me there was a stationary light flashing between red, electric blue, purple and bright white flashes. When I stepped on my porch and looked I could see the light while facing east south east looking toward the Kennedy space center I thought perhaps it was a helicopter or a plane or possibly a satellite. At approximately 21:25it started taking a more westerly movement with a more noticeable movement.

I am not sure what I watched but I was able to shoot approximately 4-6 minutes of video before my battery failed. I do have it saved on super 8 film. ((NUFORC Note: Sighting of Sirius, we suspect.

Brilliant Blue object seen by dozens @ low altitude. Appeared to me to be in U.S.

Airspace 17 witnesses at this website: I've also reported this once before but, thought you might like to read other witness accounts. A boater appeared to be closer to the object clamming the front of the object was flat. Here are the posts http://www.

topix.com/forum/city/sarasota-fl/TONAOR9T82GKBVJ1I#lastPost I witnessed the event @ North Federal Highway & Broward Blvd. intersection in Fort Lauderdale.

If you happen to be looking south there was no way you could have missed it. That thing was big!.

Streak of light then object moved across the sky I was driving south on Prosperity Farms Rd when something appeared in the sky to the southeast. It looked as if something was entering the Earth’s atmosphere. It was a bright green “streak” and it disappeared from my view behind some trees and buildings.

As I continued to drive down the road (and be amazed by what I saw) I noticed a black object in the sky coming from the direction of where I lost sight of the “green streak”. The black object continued to move in a westward direction. I arrived at a stoplight and kept watching as the black object slowly moved across the sky towards the west until I could no longer see it behind trees and buildings.

When the object was straight ahead of my view, it looked to be a blackish/grayish color with a little red at the back of the object. Here are a couple of things that I am unsure of: It may have had something hanging from the bottom of it with a ball shape in the middle of the hanging “line”. I was really trying to get a good look at it, but unfortunately was still driving a car and couldn't focus on it that well.

It may have even been moving to the side left to right-right to left a little, just the front of the object (from my view it seemed like it). When I arrived home, I rushed inside to write down all that had just happened. My little sister suggested that it may have been a balloon, but I do not believe that a balloon could move across the sky the way that this object did.

We went outside to see if we could find any trace of it but couldn't. The only thing that we noticed was towards the west we saw a stream of smoke which looked like the remnants of an airplane passing through. Later that night, on the News, there were people reporting sightings of fireballs in the sky and there was a photo of a stream of smoke which was left behind by the “fireball”.

It was reported that it was probably a bolide or fireball from a meteor shower. The streak that I saw did not leave a trail of smoke behind it and a later did see the trail of smoke but it was to the west/southwest direction.

Fort Lauderdale streaking light. I was walking along US 1 before the Las Olas intersection, and saw a bright streak of light moving horizontally towards Fort Lauderdale airport. It was a greenish hue, and was moving very fast.

I've seen many jet fighters, but this was moving far faster than anything I've ever seen. I couldn't hear any noise. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

bright light over I was waiting at the stoplight at the intersection of Kanner Highway (SR 76) and Federal Highway (US 1) facing south. I saw a bright light in the distance to the south (probably several miles away at least) moving from west to east and at about a 30 degree angle toward the ground. It moved in a straight line at high speed.

I saw it straight ahead then lost sight of it behind a building on the SE corner of the intersection then briefly saw it again moving in the same apparent direction and speed before losing sight of it entirely behind buildings & trees.
