Massive red glow in the eastern sky occurring twice within two or three minutes, each lasting 3 seconds. While driving east on Yamato Road very early, the eastern sky lit up with a red glow which lasted for three seconds. It was followed two minutes later by a second red glow which lasted again for about three seconds.
Could find no evidence of wreckage or explosion or fire to explain the massive size and color of the light.

Bright orange moving lights. My daughter and I while looking for our cat saw three bright orange lights floating in sky from the north going in a south westerly direction. We watched for a few seconds and when looked up again they were gone.
Soon two more appeared.

Orange fire balls flying in the sky. We saw 6 oval fire ball flying in the sky, much bigger than a star and if you put 3 of them together would be the size of the moon. They was very quick and disappear after a few minutes.
Never seen any think like that.

5 Red circles hovering, Looked light lining of a structure.until I realized there is no structure. I was exiting the store and thought these were the outter red lights to a structure, water tower, building or other until I realized there is no structure in my neighborhood that consists of red lights.
They were sitting above horizon and not shy at all. Lights were red. This was the most "here" welcoming I have ever witnessed in my life.
This was in Boca Raton, FL, Here is a link to a Youtube Video I found that is exactly what I saw. Mine were way brighter. (copy and paste this into the web) http://www.

I saw the objects for minutes, local 911 calls are being withheld, local a.m. radio is reporting accurately.
I am a local and reputable attorney in my area, Palm Beach County, Florida. I've never seen anything like this. I was walking out of my car to enter my condo.
I looked up and saw a huge light in the sky. It was hard to not notice. It was moving horizontal, from North to South along the coast line.
The cigar shaped object was followed by 2 small objects. The lead, cigar shaped object projected a huge cone shaped light from it's front side, bright like a spotlight. The two smaller objects followed.
The lead object would lead bright, luminescing cloud like plumes that could not be mistaken for all of the naturally occuring clouds in the skyline. The objects moved slowly, hovered, moved forward, and turned from south to east over the ocean and disappeared. Once the object turned east to the ocean, the huge light it emitted disappeared and the objects faded off.
The object was high in the sky, and could not be mistaken for any plane. I saw planes that! night, and they were much smaller, much, much smaller and the planes moved in a much more predictable manner. I am upset with the local news reports, stating it was from a airforce rocket that was launched.
A rocket only moves upwards and quickly. The rocket was launched 30 minutes before my sighting. Local radio, 850 AM radio, played the actual, verbal launch transmissions, clearly ruling out the rocket.
Further, the many 911 calls are being withheld from public request, which is unusual and against the freedom of information act. I did not take a camera phone picture because the objects were too far away, but the footage from the local newspaper is fairly accurate, but not as clear as I saw it. http://www.

Four orange fireballs flying over Boca Raton on a clear night. Clear sky over central Boca Raton, Florida. We were walking the dog and looked up to the West and noticed two orange lights flying East.
After a couple of seconds two more orange circles became to view. What was very strange was that the first two objects were traveling very close. The size of the lights appeared to be two to three times larger and more intense than the airplanes we normally see in the area.
We know that the planes have colored blinking lights. All four flying objects had solid orange lights. The objects disappeared in minutes after they started moving towards the South.

Fireball looking objects over West Boca Raton, Florida last night A group of people hanging out last night and I looked into the sky and noticed a fire looking object. I pointed it out to the group. It was explained away as a helicopter with a spot light.
I continued to watch the fire object and again asked my friends what was that, it was now moving off very slowly. We all went in the house and a few minutes later, someone went outside and called to us that now there were 6 fireballs in the sky. We all raced out and when I got there I saw the original fireball and then a small distance away a diamond formation of 4 fireballs.
The people that got out there first saw another one, but it had vanished in the few seconds it took for me to get there. I personally witnessed with my friends something I can not explain logically and have not been able to get this out of my mind since last night. I tried to report it on my iPhone right after to the local wpbf news, but when I hit send the phone was unable to connect to the Internet.
Later, we went back outside and saw a white streak in the sky that looked was spanning quite a long distance. It was not a cloud nor was it exhaust from a plane. This was a distinguishable white spanse in the sky.
I did get a picture off that on my cell. It worked for other things, but not that. So there you have it.
Wow!.

Silent, single gold light flying very quickly. Changes direction several times. Leaving the lab late at FAU, as I was walking to the parking lot with a friend I noticed a dim gold/beige light flying in a southwest direction.
I pointed it out to my friend walking beside me, he noted aloud that it was accelerating. We stopped in our tracks and just stared up at it. A few seconds pass then it quickly starts flying in the opposite direction and then jerks to the west, then circles and starts flying east.
I took out my camera since this was my third UFO sighting and wanted evidence this time. However, the view became obstructed by the top of a palm tree and we never saw it again. There is a small airport very nearby, however I have never seen an aircraft move with such freedom.
In fact, I just viewed the Boca Raton Airport "webtrak" flight tracker from 3:17am-3:40am. Not any kind of aircraft arrived, departed, flew over or nearby the airport according to several of their radars. Im planning on contacted them to inquirer about what I saw.
It's hard t! o say what it was exactly but I have a tinge whatever it was did not mean to be seen.
