Stealthy Object with 3 Orange Reddish Orbs VANISH in clear night sky over Davie, FL, followed by Military Helicopter pursuit!! My sister is a pharmacist, and I'm a student nurse. She joined me on April 05 at my home and stayed until midnight. She was ready to go home, and so I walked her out as usual.
We stood outside for a few minutes having a conversation about swimming. As she was speaking to me, my attention got lost in the clear night sky. I saw a single object in the sky, and it had a cylindrical shape and seemed to be stealthy in appearance.
I wanted to believe that it was an airplane in the sky, but the more I analyze it became extremely unfamiliar. The object had three circular glowing orange reddish orbs illuminating from it. The speed of this object was unlike an airplane, drone, or Chinese lantern.
It was literally moving like a snail in the sky. As I stood there gazing at it, my sister turned around and looked up and saw exactly what I was seeing. She was in disbelief, thought that it might be some type of aircraft.
But I remember telling her, "No it cant be! Look ! at the orbs, and the movement. It's practically standing still." As we both stood there staring, the object disappeared right in front of us.
I couldn't believe it. It's not like it went behind any clouds. I mean this night was very clear, and there wasn't any clouds in the sky.
It simply vanished out of thin air. My sister got in her car and went home. I was so shocked by what I saw, I called my roommate out to describe what my sister and I had just seen.
He quickly came out and wanted to see if the object had returned or not. He used a snapchat filter to see if the object was hiding in the sky. We both looked at his phone and did not see anything from the filter.
Literally, five minutes after my sister left, my roommate and I were standing outside looking around. What happened next was even more shocking! My roommate spotted an aircraft South of us a good distance away. I have lived here for four years, and I have never seen any aircraft pull the maneuver that this ! one did.
The aircraft literally made a sharp turn and headed o! ur way. I could even see the bright lights from the front of this aircraft as it sharply turned north. My roommate was quick thinking and pulled out his phone to use the snapchat filter on this aircraft.
Like I said, the path that this aircraft took had never been seen before in the four years of living here. As it traveled through the buildings in between us high above, we could see what turned out to be the fine definition of a military fighter helicopter heading in the direct location of where I saw the object. On the filter we could zoom in to see the rotor, the wings, the tail rotor, and the rocket launchers on both side.
Since then, this night has been unforgettable. Certainly not the first time I have seen UFO's. But it's the most recent encounter I've had, and it was similar to an experience out of a movie.

I was stargazing, when I saw a bright red star sized and intensity light, moving towards me overhead. It appeared to be traveling in a straight line, but then stopped moving, and changed direction. It stopped several times, and moved erratically.
I also saw some flashing white lights, but mostly a steady red light. I watched it change direction several times, before it switched from mostly North to South, and traveled rapidly towards Miami, where I lost sight of it.

6 craft line formation over south Florida Sighting occurred during my nightly dog walk. Casually gazing at the sky, appreciating the clear night. I happened to see a line of what appeared to be stars, but the formation did not make sense.
I kept watching and realized they were traveling west to east across the sky. There were (6) of them, and one by one they magically disappeared at the same spot in the sky. Almost as if a portal of some kind opened up and they went right through.

Backyard UFO Fleet night sky sighting! Ok so tonight It is half moon with clear sky and many visible stars there was a straight line of about 100 starlike lights moving They were in a straight line they looked like regular white stars just moving in a line within the same distance of each other . not like a shooting star or a comet it looked like airplanes moving. we were in our backyard which faces west and the lights were coming from the north toward the west but up to the sky toward the moon if that makes sense U can tell they were very far up because they were tiny from where we were and as soon as they were within the moons moonlight range each one one by one disappeared.
just like that There were about 100 just flying upward evenly spaced and in the same straight in sync line and disappearing one at a time . and in the middle of it there was one of the stars coupled with another one as if a double-fleet. Then at the end when the group of stars or ufos were finishing the final about 5-8 were just riding without having any synchronization or they were just going at their own pace.
This lasted for three minutes.

What seemed to be a very bright & close star was blaring almost like a fireball hovering, slightly moving and occasionally it would have small explosions, changing from blue, yellow, white. It changed from circle to oval shapes just morphing. It had a glow.

Me and my son were walking the dogs like we do every night when I saw a bright object behind a cloud. I thought it was the moon but it seemed to have a red dot in the middle. I asked my son if he saw the red dot and he agreed.
I decided to wait until the cloud moved but when it did the object was gone. We walked a little bit and I saw it again in another spot. it was a little less bright this time it seemed and further away.
We watched it for about five minutes and it changed from roundish to a cigar shape. I would guess the angle changed. Although it was pretty stationary.
It seemed to get a greenish, then purplish glow, then it disappeared.

Clear Large bright lights behind an object that appeared as a torpedo like haze with stealth like speed & silence. While beginning my exterior security rounds at 2:15am I noticed an unusually bright light in sky approaching very quickly in manner that was not typical of most planes & jets in sky. As it approached very near my direction at a very fast pace I noticed more details unusual about this object.
I fumbled to get my cell phone for video but it was so fast I could only manage a quick photo after it passed me. The most unusual thing I noticed was how large & long the object appeared and that there was a haze in front of the light(s) that were at the tail end of the object. At first I only saw it as one light in sky.
I thought for a moment it was coming right at me almost as if it saw me. Then in the sky about even with me slightly north (airport to south) it was not very high I noticed there were two lights in a vertical line one after the other and the distance between indicating a very long object, much longer then a typical jet. It clearly appeared as one object.
I thought for a! moment perhaps a blimp. The haze was very distinctive and oddly visible in front of the lights. It had a translucent appearance almost as like an "aura" and was shaped like a cigar (or torpedo).
It did not look at all like smoke or an exhaust trail and most odd was again the length of the haze forward of the two lights that were in very clear view behind the long shaped "aura" of the object that could not be seen. It appeared to be descending in the sky but in direction not typical of the other planes that land at nearby airport but further south of the sighted object. My photo does not show the haze only the two lights at tail end.
Lastly there is a nearby airport to the south of this sighting. Minutes later a descending commercial jet in typical fashion even at night was very visible and distinctly heard as it descended for landing. The object I saw to the north was equally close enough to be heard and much larger & longer had me creeped out by the ee! ry silence.
I called local police shortly after returning from rounds to report sighting and find out if anyone else reported anything. It was clearly visible at all time to anyone who may have been out at 2:15am. No reports had been made by others at that time and I declined to leave name or contact.

Brilliant light coming and going and loud increasing engine noise stops Suddenly! Our dogs were uncomfortable and excited while we were sleeping. I woke up because of the barking. When I head the back yard I heard a noise like an aircraft engine that increased like acceleration and simultaneously saw a brite white light moving in the back of the building.
The engine noise got louder and all of a sudden it stops! My daughter could see the light coming thru her bedroom illuminating the whole room in an angle of less than 45 degrees. The light and the noise were moving in direction WEST-EAST. ((NUFORC Note: Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information.

While driving on 595 from West to East, just passing the turnpike ramp; I saw what I thought was a bright star. Only it didn't "tw While driving on 595 from West to East, just passing the turnpike ramp; I saw what I thought was a bright star. Only it didn't "twinkle" but it did have that star effect that emitted rays in a "T".
I refocused by sight to make sure if what I was seeing, but to me at the time & I suppose my mind was trying to reason with what I was seeing, I saw the top portion of the object. Seemed like a plane, since it had those red & green lights on the ends, but it then I start noticing that it also had light on top, that changed colors in a pulse of blue, green, red, purple. At this same time, the bright white light started to dim.
I had to get my eyes back on the highway for a bit then I searched for it again but I couldn't find it again. I scanned the area in the sky where I spotted it. I found it once more, only the light wasn't as bright & it didn't have that "T" of light rays.
& since the light wasn't as bright, I could start making out the color of the object & more or less the shape. It was a dark white/light gray in what seemed like a mini blimp or maybe it could have been blimp sized but really far. The final feature before it left was the "opening", as if the object open & closed like Pac-Man & the light was inside Pac-Man's mouth.
It did this only twice & it was gone, it was stationary the entire time. I couldn't find it again but I did search for it for about 30 mins.

Ultra-Bright White Blimp like Object REPORT UFO Sighting Davie, FL 12/15/2016 20:00 I first spotted the light in the northern sky. Location of the full moon was in the northern sky as well. The moon was at about 45DEG.
It was difficult to see at first because it was directly behind, but a little above a streetlight. I would say the object was approximately 15DEG above the horizon. The object was moving westward slowly, effortlessly, and quietly.
It was blimp like in movement and shape. I lost vision of it behind a large tree. The object then looped to the south and was directly in front of me at 26 5’ 40.
66N 80 15’32.45W At this point the object was almost stationary. It was ultra-bright white.
So bright my eyes had a hard time focusing. However, I did notice that there was a square to rectangular shaped area on the bottom that was black. Hand drawn picture will be sent to email referenced on website.
In addition, the object was equal to the horizon and less than 1/4 (.25) miles from my observation location east of coordinates. Object began an accelerate movement to the SSW where it crossed a major commercial airline flight path.
I believe an inbound commercial airliner made an abrupt turn and deceleration. I searched the internet for pictures of blimp at night, and the object had no resemblance of the pictures I viewed. I thought if it was a blimp heading south it would be going to Perry Airport.
I got in my vehicle and drove in that direction. I spotted the object again, in the distance. I drove all the way to Perry Airport, but did not see the object in the area.

Was driving South in Davie on either pine island or nob Hill Rd was coming up on Griffin Rd and saw blimp like shape. It was low and seem even low for a blimp. Didn't think much because it is on plane descent into airport.
But my 4 kids started to notice so I kept trying to determine what it was. Googled image of blimps at night and nothing. There was no noises and it was no movement one place.
The area has countless blimps/planes etc. This was just different. I pulled in to Publix parking, only to find it wasn't there.
In a matter of turning right into parking lot than right into parking space and it was gone.

Suspicious reds lights in the sky It was Thursday August 21, 2014, and I had just started watching the ten o'clock news when my daughter came into my room and told me to look out the window. I asked her, "What is it?'. She raised her voice at me and told me to quickly run to the window.
Concerned by her actions I looked out the window. I saw about 5 to six redish lights flying by in a coordinated arched sequence. At first I thought they might be airplanes or helicopters because we live close to Ft.
Lauderdale airport but then they broke their flight pattern and flew around in a way that airplanes nor helicopters could. All of a sudden they flashed and then their lights turned off and they disappeared except for one. The one left behind hovered in a slow circular motion then slowly went down by a nearby highway (I-595) behind the trees.
I was a bit alarmed that it came down. I contacted a few neighbors to see if anyone else saw the same but they didn't. As all this happened, there wer! e other planes in the area, someone else has to have seen this.
Either a pilot, passenger or even drivers on the nearby highway must have seen something. I needed to report it in case someone else did see the lights in the sky. It happened between 10 and 10:30pm in Davie, Florida.

Quiet craft, very fast, large vertical shadow, 4:00 in march around Davie Fl I was walking my dog after school around 4:00 p.m and a few of my neighbors were outside. As I came close to my house my dog sat down and I noticed that the sound around me vacuumed, it felt like my ears were popping.
My dog looked up into the sky and then I saw a large vertical shadow go across my street quickly, there was silence the whole time. When I looked up I didn't see much except for the clouds being pulled in the same direction as the shadow. The sounds returned to normal after the shadow made its way up the street.
The date is approximate, I don't remember exactly. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

Amber lights over I-75.definitely not an aircraft on approach. My wife and I were returning home from dinner after briefly stopping at the gas station down the block from my home at approximately 11pm EST.
After leaving the gas station, as we were crossing the overpass that runs over I-75 (State Road 84 between Weston Road and 148th Ave.) I looked to the right and in the sky I saw 5 (or 6 not sure now) orange/amber colored lights floating in the air. They weren't low enough to make out a definite shape.
I've always been a star gazer so I'm very familiar with the skies around my home. I live on the approach path to Fort Lauderdale International Airport and I've been travelling on airplanes for work for the last 15 years. I can confidently say I know what airplanes look like on approach and the light configurations you'll see from the ground.
What struck me about this sighting were a few things. 1. They were not moving towards the airport.
When I first spotted them they seemed to be stationary, but as I changed direction on the road on my way home I realized they were actually moving towards the north. My original perspective was north of them, so they appeared to not be moving for the few moments I was at that perspective. 2.
They were only one color, orange/amber. I have 16/20 vision and I didn't see any other colors. I can always see the red flashing lights on airplanes whether on approach or very high in the sky.
3. These objects were definitely within our atmosphere. I could see stars behind them and they appeared, as usual, far away.
These appeared to be no more than 10,000 feet in the air. 4. I assumed they weren't military craft because they weren't flying in formation.
There was a lack of night time lights, like commercial craft, and there was a definite lack of a jet engine sound. All of the objects were basically in a straight line from the northern perspective. I've attempted to create a diagram below using numbers 1-5 to represent each object from left to right.
In case the diagram doesn't copy well. Objects 1, 2 and 5 were basically in a straight line, although 5 seemed to be a degree or two higher than 1 and 2. Object 3 was directly below 2, and object 4 was slightly lower than 2 and 5 (think Orion's belt).
-1- -2- -5- -4- -3- When my perspective changed to a westerly direction, they were all moving to the north (right). Please remember I was the passenger in a moving vehicle on a "S" curve. So my westerly perspective changed to a curving southern direction after about 5 seconds of moving west.
It was obviously difficult to properly assess the speed of all objects simultaneously due to their distance from each other. I was concentrating mostly on objects 1-3, since object 5 was already almost out of site to the north. Objects 4 and 5 appeared to be moving at the same speed.
Object 2 was accelerating faster than 4 and 5, 3 was barely moving and 1 was moving slowly or had just started to accelerate. I would say object 2 was moving the fastest, but it's really difficult to compare it anything. Was it moving faster than a plane at that altitude? I can't say because there was no point of reference but the stars and one other plane on approach to FLL.
And because of the plane I can definitely say it wasn't a commercial plane. The color of the objects appeared to be the same color as HID street lamps. That orange glow you get from High Pressure Sodium bulbs.
If this sighting sounds like something worth investigating; I would be willing to draw a diagram. The event is clear in mind and I doubt will diminish for quite some time. It was definitely out of the ordinary and unexplainable from my experiences to-date.

Perfectly round sphere at very high altitude, light orange with progressively reddish tinge towards the edges Perfectly round sphere at very high altitude (as evidenced by commercial jets flying below it), light orange with progressively reddish tinge towards the edges, flew slowly in a perfectly straight line from north to south over western Davie. Must have been large because of our being able to see it at that altitude. Checks with the International Space Station calendar show it was not overhead at that time so it could not have been it.
The sky was perfectly blue and clear with no clouds.

Amber Disk Sighted near Ft. Lauderdale International Airport I witnessed a reddish/amber object approaching from the NE. It was about 7,000 feet in altitude and moving at about 200 knots.
It was about 30 feet in diameter. Near the approach path to runway 9 Left, it dimmed its illumination and went dark. I got my 7 X 50 mm binoculars real quick and noticed he object was still there! It was somewhat reflective of the ambient city lights below.
Just at due east of my balcony location, it jogged around very quickly in the sky for about 10 seconds. Only moving about 4 diameters in distance relative to its size. Yes, the stars were steady.
The object was moving during this time. Then it proceeded to continue on its flight path towards the SW.
