Full Report Text:
Me and my family were out on a walk. At the end of the meaningful walk me and my dad looked up and it zoomed, stopped, waved and left. That day we decided to go out a little earlier for our walk and a whole synchronistic situation occurred that seemed "set-up" mainly to give my sister closure about something that's been tormenting her in our temporary stay at this place (it had to do with outside domestic cats being neglected).
After all of that was resolved I felt it was best to comfort my mom and sister for the hard decisions they had to make. During that my dad who never entertains spiritual or paranormal phenomena started repeatedly saying something along the lines of "Man, that must've been the universe handing us a cat on a platter. That's crazy.
". I entertained that idea because I am well aware of synchronicity and how that stuff is on purpose, but not in the same way that say you deciding to prepare a meal is on purpose. A higher purpose if you will.
When we arrived back at our house I was just looking at the cloudy yet bright sky at about 6:30 PM and something came from the clouds over head all the way over to the right of the sky and I quickly got my dad's attention. He first wrote it off as a plane but then it started to move across the entire right side of the cloud cieling in a second or two, entirely silently. The orb then stopped in the middle right on top of us and then he said "OK that can't be a plane.
That's so weird.". I then decided to wave at it and said "Hi.
" and it then started bobbing up and down (along the north and south respectively, not up and down altitude wise). Keep in mind this was entirely silent. It then stopped and we're both going "wow", I tried to send as close I can get to a feeling of love back to it and after a good 20 seconds after that 40 seconds of staying there before I sent the love it zipped off to the left.
At this point my dad lost interest and started walking to the house while saying "That is weird, it doesn't look like a drone either.". I on the other hand kept looking so I see this thing just silently zip to the west side of the sky and for a second or so it blinked out of existence with nothing left behind it.
At least nothing was visible, it was either a frequency shift into another EM layer, a frequency shift into another reality layer or the boring old nuts and bolts "cloaking" description but when it popped back in it resumed it's route right where it left off as it if it were maintaining it's velocity (which would not make sense if it were a physical/material object). It then rose through the clouds never to be seen for the rest of the time me and my familty were staying there.

i was looking through my telescope at the planet they call venus, but it doesnt look like a planet. It does not flicker like all the other planets and stars. I bumped my telescope a little and i saw an outline of a massive planet beyond venus.
It was black and all i could see was the outer edges. This planet was so big i had to move my telescope around to see the whole thing. I am very surprised nobody else has reported this.
The planet was at least 10 times the size of the sun and i doubt it it belonged to our solar system. I have been looking for it since but it has been cloudy so i have had zero success. I want to know what is going on with venus.
I want to know what that black planet is. I see strange things in the sky on a regular basis. I also have one thatappears on my canera like a plane but it turns and start getting brighter then it backs up and goes out the way it came in.
No plane does that. Or helicopter.

A stream of approximately 40 star-like objects flying in the same direction over a 15 minute period of time. On 11/22/2019 at approximately 5:45AM EST, in Holiday, Florida (NW of Tampa, North of St. Petersburg), I was letting the dogs out and looking at the sky to try to see a meteor.
I saw one star-like light flying constant in one direction (from SSW to NNE). I thought, “Oh nice, a satellite!!” Then I saw another. Then another.
One after another. At first it was just one at a time in the sky, heading in the same direction. I went over to my husband’s truck to kiss him goodbye.
Then I looked back up and there were about 10 of them flying in the same direction, in a line (not a perfect line but close). Two of them were flying SO CLOSE. Then MORE started coming.
The highest count I got at one time was 17 flying in one line in the sky at the same time. Then 14 all together. Sometimes two were flying together.
They all looked like faint stars, not bright like planets. I ran inside to get the binoculars. They still just looked like stars through the binoculars.
Around ! 6:00 is when it finally stopped. The last one I saw was heading from east to west. That was the only one I saw flying in that direction.
I am a constant sky watcher. I know what planes look like as we have at least 3 airports and MacDill AFB in the Tampa area. I live approximately 1km from the Gulf of Mexico and it appeared to me that these were coming out of the sky over the Gulf.
They were appearing out of nowhere from the same spot. Perhaps, the angle they were coming from just made it look like they were appearing out of nowhere. I don’t know.
Just trying to make sense of this amazing event I witnessed. The whole event lasted approximately 15-20 minutes.

Reddish orange orb sighted moving east to west over Pasco County Florida My wife and I were outside watching the neighborhood fireworks all around us when I noticed a reddish orange orb in the east sky. The object was moving from east to west across the sky. As it made it’s way over the Gulf of Mexico, the object appeared to have stopped for about 30 seconds and then disappeared.
There was no sound, there were no blinking lights, just a fully illuminated reddish orange orb. As it was the Fourth of July, I’m sure there must be many people who were looking in the sky last night and must have witnessed this orb.

Solid Green lights fly together in triangular shape, then separate and only one light starts flashing and flies in the other direction. I was driving north towards Holiday on Anclote Rd. (not far from the Anclote Power Plant) when I saw 3 solid green lights (taking up a vast amount of sky and forming a triangle) enter my view of the night sky.
They were moving to the right, (north east) yet flying at the same speed and maintaining the same triangular shape. What captured my curiosity was that directly behind them and flying in the same direction was an airplane with flashing lights, however this plane was larger than the 3 green lights and obviously a plane. It looked like it was following the other objects.
I watched the green lights travel across the sky together and at first I thought it was one solid object (in that case it would have been enormous triangular object) however as soon as I screamed out “What is that?!” one of the three green lights (the bottom left) started flashing red and white lights, as the other two green lights and flashing airplane remained the same and moved beyond! the tree line to where I could no longer see them. Then, this once green object with the now flashing lights abruptly changed directions and started flying back to the west. It was very confusing and I remember thinking, what are they doing? I wasn’t sure what to make of this, maybe it’s nothing but I haven’t seen anything like that before.
I thought it was interesting and wanted to share what I saw!.

Flashing circular objects moving. My boyfriend and I noticed these events taking place about a week ago. We were out at 1 am and saw red white green and blue lights flashing in one spot in the sky.
We watched it for 30 minutes and it hadn't moved, we checked out the rest of the sky and spotted two more of the same object some of them had moved! We were sitting in the same unmoved position, yet they were not. At first we thought maybe a twinkling star. The next few nights we sat outside .
To see if they were visible still. Every night the number and placement was different. We wanted to catch it while it was moving! Last night is when I knew for a fact it wasn't stars.
There was only one last night and it was closer than usual however not close enough to see the exact shape. Although the lights that flash red white yellow green and blue seemed to blur to the right and back a little giving the effect that the object had a sort of roundness to it and the lights go round and round. Sometimes just blinking.
We watched it while trying to get our iPhones out but of course it just app! ears as a dot of a light switching colors. Then finally we witness what we wanted, it was moving. Up very slowly, it went higher and higher stopping many times in between then it darted to the right and stayed put again.
What else could possibly move this way?!?.

My stepfather saw them first as he was driving home, he called my mother and I out once he drove up and toward the south west from our house there were 3 red/orange lights flying southward in single file. After a few seconds, the one in the front disappeared then the next one and finally the last. That's it.
I don't know if this means anything but I've noticed an increase in airplane traffic in my area, I've lived here 7 years, and its never been the way it is now.

Strange Bright Orange Fiery Glow over Tarpon Springs area. Bright glowing orange light seemed to be at the base of this craft. It seemed to be getting closer to me, but then I noticed it was actually moving upwards in a slight zig zag pattern.
There was a fog like cloud above it and it disappeared into this cloud. It made no sound and had no other lights like an airplane would. I waited for it to reappear from the clouds but after 5 mins of waiting it did not.
This is the same place I noticed the same object about a week ago, but dismissed it as someone shooting off a left over firework rocket.

Giant fireball over canal in holiday, Florida Red/orange, glowing, fireball floating quietly 200-300 ft in the sky. Flying south to north, slowly, and suddenly began flying east, fastly. It looked almost like a giant sky lantern that was burning out of control, but quickly realized it was changing direction and couldn't have been a balloon, there was no wind.
My girlfriend and I thought it was a helicopter that was burning out of control, but we didn't hear rotars. We live near tampa and Clearwater airport and see a lot of air traffic, including helicopters, and are used to all types of aircraft sounds. This was flying too low and made no sound whatsoever.
Even more interesting, just before we saw the fire all we both saw a very bright star in the Scorpio constellation which began to slowly ascend higher into the sky until it disappeared. I said, "do you see that?" Pointing at the bright star. She yelled, "WHAT IS THAT?!" Pointing at the fireball, which was floating quietly over the canal next to our home.
We observed for a total of 1.5 minutes. There were intermittent, fog-like clouds flying by over head.
But the fireball was below the fog. I am a prior service army veteran who was stationed with 1st cavalry division's air cavalry brigade, from 2006-2008, and have much experience with helicopters. The size of the craft, if you extend your hand out and close one eye, was about the size of a quarter.

Bright light hovering back and forth in the sky instantly disappeared. We were all sitting out there noticing a bright light in between two stars. the light seemed to shift back and forth and seem to get brighter and dimmer, it stayed in the sky for about an hour in the same spot.
We looked away and looked back up and it instantly was gone. Also would like to mention looking through the report database, there is something coinciding with the month of July. Seems to be when the most sightings are reported.

UFO with bright red light on the right and bright green light zooming from point to point and then hovering. On 08/21/2013 at approximately 10:00 pm my husband and I were sitting on our upstairs porch which is screened. We looked up to the sky and saw what looked to be an object that consisted of a bright red light on the right and a bright green light on the left.
When we first sighted it, the object seem to be flying toward us but turned and zoomed off in another direction. When the object first appeared, it seemed to be no more than 250-300 yards and a height that was not more than 50-100 foot above the tree line. The object was definately being manuvered or driven by someone or something.
It darted and zoomed to a spot and then would stop and just hover. I have never seen aircraft that would typically fly like this one. It could raise itself straight up or down make turns easily and zoom to the next location.
When we last saw it, my husband said that it looked like it had slowly gone straight down behind a group of trees. I did get a picture of it and were able to enhance it so you can clearly see what we were seeing with the naked eye.

Bright orange fireball going very fast and no sound. Tonight July 5, 2013 at around 9:50pm to 10pm, my husband and I were taking a walk down our street, when I noticed a bright orange light, irregular in shape, like a fire ball in the sky coming from the east. At first I thought it was a fire work shooting up, but it kept on coming very fast over our heads, in a north-west pattern headed over the Gulf of Mexico.
It seemed like it was going very fast and it didn’t make any noise. There were no other planes around at the time that we noticed we watched it until it went over the trees. We did try taking a picture of it with our cell phone, but it didn’t come out very well, due to the fact it was going so fast.

Silent glowing fireball moved slowly (at first) in straight line. A ball of fire in the sky caught my attention and at first glance I thought it was a flaming ember from a firework but quickly realized it was not falling and definitely not an ember. We watched it move slowly (at first) in a straight line from east to west, debating the whole time what it could be.
Being cloudy/overcast that night, we thought it must be a helicopter but it got closer and was completely silent. At its closest it looked more saucer shaped (flat on the bottom with the glow/fire/light emminating upwards). It moved so slowly and seemed so close overhead (but it was hazy).
I went inside to tell others & get a camera but quickly returned to see it had moved away considerably faster than it had approached and it was barely visible to those who hadn't seen it for the duration. It appeared to be gaining altitude and moving quickly to the west/northwest and disappeared from my view. The light/fire was strange because the color varied/moved as a! fire would but appeared to be contained in a ball (or dome shape when it was closest) yet the ball was not clearly defined.
The edges looked "hazy".
