All Reported UFO Sightings in Longwood, Florida

Full Report Text:

Round reflective object flying slowly East to West over Longwood, FL at sunset Observer background: Engineer working in the defense industry. Healthy adult with good hearing and vision. Time of sighting: 8:07 PM, US Eastern time, 4/4/2021 Duration of sighting: 3 minutes The weather at the time of the sighting was clear.

There was very little wind at ground level, no clouds were in the sky, and the sun was setting. I saw a light in the sky off to the East. At first I assumed it was an aircraft, but I noticed it looked a bit odd.

There was only a single light, and it seemed to be "flickering" the way a reflected fire might. The object seemed to be at a fairly high altitude, approximately that of a commercial aircraft; higher than a helicopter would typically fly. The object was moving from East to West in what seemed to be a straight line, at a very consistent and somewhat slow speed, compared to a commercial jet.

The object didn't fly directly over me, I was a bit North of its path. As it came closer I realized the illumination on the object was because it was reflecting the setting sun - that it's front surface was apparently reflective. At least, that is my assumption.

When the object went past me and I could see the bottom and back of it, I saw no other lights. No running lights of any kind were visible. The bottom and rear sides appeared dark or black.

The object did not appear to be large, and I could not make out any detail. It appeared to be a "simple" shape such as an oval or sphere. There were no wings, no fins, or other projecting parts visible.

The object did not leave any visible wake or contrail behind it. There was no detectable sound from the object at any point during the sighting. The object continued on its straight-line course at the same consistent altitude and speed until it was out of sight over the treeline on the Western horizon.

No other observers were nearby.

Large shape shifting geometrical craft, with one highly reflective side, maneuvered in sky above for 2 min in silence. We saw what we thought initially was falling debris, metal, as it's reflective surface caught the sun as it tumbled, but then we realized it was maneuvering and changing shape as it got closer. My son said "get your phone" after we watched it for a minute or two, and the attached video is the end of the sighting before we lost sight of it behind a tree.

It was geometrical, like a cube, but changed shape. It appeared large (depending on how far away it was), with a highly reflective surface on one side. It made no noise but seemed to maneuver and change direction as it hovered.

3 Super Fast My apartment faces East. I was standing out on my 4th story balcony taking videos of the lightening (we had a severe thunderstorm warning). After a few minutes of recording, I saw from my North East point of view what looked like a huge deep orange fireball moving way faster than an aircraft.

It was not blinking. It was flying super fast in a Western direction. I estimate around 800 mph high in the atmosphere--as it was moving much faster than the (normal red, white, and blue) blinking airplanes headed towards the Orlando International Airport.

I at first thought it was a meteor in the atmosphere that came too close, or maybe the international space station, or even a lantern someone let off, but realized it wasn't any of those things. This fireball orb also had a faint white glow around the orange on the exterior. It's brightness fluctuated.

It kept its path but seemed to slow down and speed up as it went.It then got smaller, darted, and completely disappeared into thin air. About 1-2 minutes later another identical looking fireball darted from the exact same direction and headed in the same direction at the same speed, also before completely vanishing around the same area.

Before the 2nd fireball orb vanished, it remained in the same place in the sky. I actually took a video of these first 2 that I will email. The 3rd glowing fireball was much further to my north peaking in and out of the trees (you could tell it was much further away), getting brighter and fainter repetitively until it too, vanished.

(this 3rd one was too distant to get on camera but I witnessed it). I have footage of the first 2 glowing orb fireballs on my iPhone. The closer I zoomed in on my iPhone I realized it seemed to be changing shaped and others seemed to be flashing in an out of the sky.

I will edit my footage so that you can see those parts in slow-motion. The space launch sight (Cape Canaveral) is more to my South-East and I see the launches. I saw the historical launch today.

While the rockets look orange in the dark, they have a super specific trajectory and are far more distant. There were also no other launches today. These fireballs were pretty sizable, much closer, and flying then disappearing.

I know what I saw and it was nothing like the rocket launches, didn't look like any of the airplanes, and these glowing orb fireballs looked like nothing I had ever seen before. They only came around as the severe thunderstorm moved away South-West towards downtown Orlando and it had stopped raining at my place. (Tons of lightning).

Triangle UFO in Orlando. Saw something in the distance. Stared at it for about a minute and it began coming closer.

It was triangle shaped and it started to follow me and lower in closer to the direction i was walking. I turned around and called someone close by to pick me up. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

PD)).

Picture of triangular craft with laser beam propulsion. I took a picture of the night sky. When I looked at it 2 days later on the computer screen I noticed a laser like beam in the pic.

Closer up, I noticed a Long Triangle shape craft in front of the beam. Probably some cool military craft, it had no lights in it. Planes get in my night shots all the time.

This was different. My friend suggested I contact you. I am just curious what it is.

Even it its just a satellite that would be cool. I just like taking pictures of the stars. But, things like this strike my curiosity.

On the morning of 10/23/16, my husband called me out to our back yard to look into the sky to show me he saw a white orange star making erratic movements in the sky which coincided with a shooting star. I can say that I definitely saw exactly what he described. I noticed that just before this light in the sky zig zagged it got much brighter.

This star moved side to side and up and down continually for several hours before dawn. This occurred on the dark side of the moon. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

7 round balls of fire flying across Longwood, Florida, in the night sky. 7 red-orange fireballs flying across the night sky during the crescent moon. They were round like a fireball with these amazing blue/white lighting (not typical fluorescent lighting).

They were slowly moving in formation, then out of formation making a diagonal line (somewhat), then disappeared into the dark clouds heading northeast. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

Object started as a yellow fireball and transformed to a red light. Hovered overhead then headed west but not in a straight line. Returned to original spot overhead, no noise.

Definitely not a helicopter or plane.

6 lights in a chevron shape. I was driving down my street, when I looked up and saw 6 blazing balls in a V shape. I was near my home so I ran inside and got my boyfriend who also saw the lights, but they were dimming and had moved.

A bright, circular, floating orange colored object with orange fog that dissipated after mini explosions and fell out of the sky. To start this off, first I must say for the simple fact of myself even telling this story is difficult. The witness contact made me feel a little eerie but I’ll take a chance anyway.

After reading a few other UFO sighting reports and understanding what happened to a few of those people such as, “The Maury Island Incident,” it’s made me feel inclined to shutting my mouth. Please don’t think this is fake because I “N/A” my personal information. I wouldn’t waste an hour writing a fake story about what I’ve seen because it’s a serious matter.

Anyone who fakes these stories should be ashamed. The story is, I am a rapper. I travel quite a bit honestly and don’t see much UFO activity, nor have I seen any since this night.

I don’t go out looking for this stuff! Sometime in Mid-August of 2014, I had an all-night studio session. On the way to the studio, I called my friend to accompany me and he agreed to tag along. When we got there my engineer was upstairs waiting and we began our night.

About 2 or 3 hours into recording, I finished a song and told my engineer I was stepping out for a smoke with my friend. It was a black n’ mild (tobacco), not weed so I’m pretty damn sure there were no hallucinations. When we came downstairs we walked to the middle of the empty parking lot (besides my car) and lit it and started talking about things non related to the issue.

A moment passed and I looked up (I like to star gaze) and far in the air was something I’ve never seen before. I tapped my friend and pointed up, cursing. Honestly because I was a little scared, I’ve never seen anything like that before.

We sat there well over a minute staring at whatever this thing is floating in the air. Here’s where things get technical. First off the sky was clear, nothing to mistake this for.

The moon was full and the object height wise was next to the moon. Distance wise, it was at least 4 or 5 miles away from us. To get a better idea of this think about a plane passing by in the sky, only this object was “floating.

” If you were to look at a full moon, put your hand up and make a 3 to 4 inch gap with your fingers from the edge of the moon and that is how far the object looked away from the moon from our point of view. It was bright orange, with a little yellow. It was smoking and had an orange fog around it as if it was about to explode.

Initially we thought it was an aircraft that exploded in the air. Contrary to that there were no airplanes or helicopters visible anywhere within our sight! That’s weird especially in Central Florida speaking on how we have nonstop air traffic. One thing I did notice was that a few birds were flying in the opposite direction of this thing in the sky.

It was circular, large and almost seemed like something ran into it, or hit it with something. It began to smoke heavily but the smoke was drifting to the side of it where we could still clearly see it. As the smoke thickened pieces of it began to fly off, almost looking like it was getting shot by another aircraft.

About 3 mini, non-hearable explosions took place before we started backing up. About 8 to 10 minutes went by before I finally pulled out my phone and called my engineer to immediately come outside. I don’t know why his reaction was like this but he didn’t seem pretty surprised.

He actually told us it’s probably just the “military’s doing.” I told him he was full of it and tried to take a picture. The damn thing showed up as a blur on every single one of my pictures! I’ve always owned an iPhone which is generally known for taking good pictures but tonight it was as if something prevented my phone from snapping a picture clearly.

After maybe 5 more minutes of staring, the fog around it began to consume the craft and eventually as oddly as it was the in the sky, it dissipated, slowly fell and disintegrated almost to what seemed into thin air. Not believing what I’d just seen I looked around to see if anyone else was outside staring at the phenomenon and sure enough right in front of us was a man walking by on the sidewalk stopping to stare in the same area we were looking. As there was no way to show evidence and prove what we had seen to anyone else we shook it off, went back into the studio and honestly never spoke about it again.

Formation of 8-10 lights suddenly disbursing in opposite directions As four of us (my husband, my cousin and his wife, and myself - 4 four adults in our 30s) were driving on 427 we arrived at the traffic light on the intersection of 427 & Dock Track Rd, we immediately noticed a formation of bright lights glowing very brightly, much brighter than the stars. We almost assumed it was a constellation but they began to move, 2 of the lights simultaneously began pulling apart from the constellation, hovering further away from the other bright lights, and suddenly they shot upward and disappeared. As we turned left onto Dog Track Rd, we observed the other lights moving away, all in formation - they couldn't have been planes, these lights where amber/yellowish and super bright, they stood out from the sky and a lot of cars stopped to look, it was an amazing sight!.

Looked like slow-moving embers in a circular shape rising, leveling off, flying in straight line, then fading out. Saw orange/red circular shape rise up then level and go in a straight line until it went out or disappeared. Saw the same thing about 3-5 min.

later. Saw 4 rise together about a year ago then drift/fly/float over my house, one at a time, before fading out. When I first saw them rising, I thought they were maybe military helicopters in formation.

They were in the air for at least 5 min.

I was looking out sliding glass door to the north when I saw one red light at about a 45 to 60 degree angle to the horizon in the sky. It was not moving. It was not fireworks.

It was stationary looking about the size of a large star. I called to my husband who also saw it. He ran to get binoculars and went outside, but he could not see it from the front of the house.

A small plane flew toward it from south to north seemingly in a direct path to the light. As the plane got closer to the light it appeared that the plane was actually higher than the light. As the plane appeared to move closer to it the light faded and disappeared.

Just a few minutes later a helicopter flew north to south lower than where the light and plane had been.

My husband was out watching fireworks in neighborhood, while looking up at about a 30 to 45 degree angle from the horizon he saw three orange globes in a line in equal distance from each other slowly moving east to west. No sound and definitely not fireworks, a plane or helicopter. Not foreign matter floating, but directed and sustained movement.

Length of sighting was about a minute before they faded away. This was very similar to a sighting we saw together on August 31, 2012.

2 Orange Orbs in the evening sky. We live north of the Orlando Florida area. Longwood to be exact.

We also live in the flight pattern of the Sanford and Orlando International airport. Saturday evening March 23, 2013 about 8:15 pm, my husband and I were having dinner on our patio. At about 30 degrees above the horizon, thru the trees we saw first one then two orange orbs.

They (the orbs) were coming from the south moving to the north. At the same time a commercial airliner was traveling from the north to the south. That’s when the orbs slowed and turned to the east.

We thought they were helicopters at first. Then we thought there might have been a rocket launch at Cape Canaveral. We see them all the time from our house.

The orbs were as big and bright as the rockets they launch without the vapor trail. Canaveral doesn’t launch 2 rockets at the same time. We don’t know what we saw.

I grabbed my Ipad and took a video of them. Not real clear and it was as they were fading away. The whole thing lasted about 2 to 3 minutes.

They faded off to the east.

Four orange glowing globes floating quickly and silently in a fairly straight line then vanish one by one. On August 31, 2012, around 21:40 my husband and I were walking in our Longwood, FL neighborhood. We reached the entrance of the development and turned to go home.

I noticed in the sky three orange glowing globes moving single file in fairly a straight line. They were floating silently and steadily across the sky. I asked my husband what he thought they were.

He said they were military planes, but then said they weren’t moving fast enough to be military planes. We turned to see where they came from and saw a fourth one. We tried to keep all of them in sight as they moved from northeast to southwest and turned more toward the west.

The first seemed to go up higher and suddenly disappeared. My husband asked where it went. At first we thought it went behind a cloud, but the clouds were very thin, so thin that you could see a star through them.

One by one the rest of the globes vanished in the same fashion. We sighted the globes and they vanished all ! in probably about a minute or two. We really could not determine how high they were, but they were travelling in a specific direction and quickly.

2 different flashing lights above longwood fl seen by 3 people . I was sitting outside with a friend of mine and all of a sudden we saw a light blinking in red/white. For about 20 minutes the light was flashing in the same spot without moving , after that time passed a white light started blinking to the right of the light and it warped down a few feet lower than where it was originally blinking and they were both gone within minutes of the other white light turning on.

Was not an airplane / helicopter because we saw airplanes passing where the lights were and they were remaining in the same spot .

Full Report Text:

3 orbs of light seen circling over Longwood FL skies 3 orbs of light were circling the night sky. Each orb was making a circle and they would meet in the middle then circle out again. This pattern of movement was contained in a small area above our property.

It started in front of our barn then moved south to our driveway area. The movement of lights were below the cloud cover and could be seen best against the clouds. An airplane passed over during this time and it was higher than the orbs of light.

I watched for about 10 minutes until 1 orb disappeared, then the other 2 vanished. They were there then they were gone. There was no sound associated with the movement.

I got the distinct feeling that they were searching for something.
