Amber Orb moves slowly for 10 seconds before dimming/shrinking from visibility Multiple UFO Sightings in Ormond Beach, FL ORMOND BEACH, FL Wednesday, July 6th, 2022: 9:47pm On Wednesday, July 6th, 2022, at around 9:47pm, my friend and I were hanging out on the 4th floor (top level) ocean-front private balcony of my room at the Outrigger Beach Club Resort in Ormond Beach, FL, when my friend noticed an object in the very clear night sky over the Atlantic Ocean, maybe somewhere in the vicinity of the Delphinus constellation (referenced after the sighting). He said to me, while not averting his gaze, "Hey look at that. It looks like it came out of nowhere.
" He had later told me that he had been looking at that part of the sky before he noticed the object. When I looked up I saw what looked like an amber orb moving slowly from north to south. I initially thought that it could have been a plane despite an absence of flashing anti-collision lights.
This light was solid and spherical. After less than 10 seconds, the light started to slowly dim and shrink until it completely disappeared. Convinced that we had possibly seen a UFO, my friend began to look up radar data on the web for both commercial and military aircraft.
There were no planes in the area at that time. I later confirmed that the International Space Station was in the Pacific Ocean during our sighting. We began tracking planes on radar and watched a few of them fly across the sky and noted how their flashing lights remained visible.
We ruled out a drone entirely as the object seemed too high and far away. Coincidentally, immediately prior to the sighting my friend had been shooting his high-powered laser into the sky. Also, for another strange coincidence, earlier in the day my friend took photographs of a black frisbee I was tossing against the backdrop of the beach as a mock UFO encounter.
It was just going to be something funny we showed our friends. While I wasn't thinking about this at the time of our sighting, it remains serendipitous to me on a personal level. And not to place any emphasis on this but it occurred the same day the Georgia Guidestones collapsed and the day after CERN was reactivated.
Also we saw the SpaceX launch the next morning on the 7th. Friday, July 8th, 2022: 7:15pm (time approximated) On Friday, July 8th, at approximately 7:15pm, I was in the Hot Tub at the Outrigger Resort when a teenager by the name of Hunter (from Tennessee) called my attention to an object he was observing under the moon. I had told him of our Wednesday Night sighting maybe ten minutes before so he may have been primed to be looking at the sky.
While I turned up and to the right (I was facing the beach), Hunter (facing away from the beach) was trying to describe how close to the moon it was by measuring with his hand in his line of sight. I scanned the sky under the moon and didn't see anything, but when I swept my eyes much further below the moon to the Southwest I saw a stationary object. He had said it was originally beneath the moon and he had initially thought it could have been a falling drone when it moved.
My instinctual mental reaction was that the object (it looked round but too far away to distinguish) appeared as if it were reflecting light within our atmosphere (it was still daylight) rather than emitting light. However, I would have been happy to call it a star or even a planet had I not turned away for 2 seconds and looked back to see that it was gone. That section of the sky was very clear.
No clouds. Immediately after there was a plane approaching from the west but that is not the object we had seen. The object appeared almost white, but in retrospect could have been reflective silver.
The Outrigger is approximately a mile-and-a-half from the Aliki Towers where in September of 2020 an alleged UFO was spotted above in the clouds.

My fiancee were on our way to work this morning. We were on U.S.
1 when she first sighted a green, firework-like light hovering in the sky's distance. 2 seconds later, she witnessed it shoot up. About 15 minutes later, we had gone northbound on the I-95, and I caught a quick glimpse of a dim light (dim due to distance) shoot from above my windshield, and head north.
When I arrived to work, 3 hours into my shift, I check my phone and an article was posted, WITH video, about a North Carolina man on a Ferry with multiple witnesses who caught footage of 5+ lights above the ocean.

unusual lights about 5 miles offshore for a duration of 10 minutes - would disappear and reappear in the same general area - separate o Approximately 9 pm on 5/22/19 between flagler beach and ormond by the sea while sitting on beach access pier we saw Highly unusual lights about 5 miles offshore for a duration of 10 minutes. These lights would disappear and reappear in the same general area at one point we saw four separate objects light up then go off. We sit out there all the time and many airplanes fly over on a regular basis so we know they were not planes.
I have know logical explanation for these lights. I wonder if anybody else saw these lights?.

My husband and i live right next to the Halifax River and approximately a mile from the Granada Bridge. There are several park benches along a pathway beside the river across from our house, and we walked over there this evening to have a break and to enjoy the evening in the night skies. And looking toward what would be the end of the Granada bridge going into A1A at the beach, we noticed three round lights they were spread pretty far apart from each other, and although all three lights are lit at one time, when one light would go off another one would come on, and then another one would go off and another one would come on.
It was just real slow and silent. And it was in one position for a little while and then it went off completely, and then it was in a different position in another location just probably several feet from that one, and it was not running in a straight line. And then it turn completely off for a bit, and then it showed back up again completely in another location & the lights kept doing that same thing.
And then they all went off again. And we didn't see it again after that. And we walked back over to the house.
Not sure what we saw, but it was definitely not an airplane, because he was moving in an erratic pattern. And it made no noise as it hovered what seemed like just you know maybe a mile above the building line.

Orange glowing object racing though the sky. After leaving a local restaurant my wife and I saw a orange glowing object that speed across the sky. No noise and it was probable 1,000 feet up in the air.
I operate a drone and I know what a drone would look like in the sky. At first we though it was a Chinese lantern, but it was much larger than that.

5 white disks in perfect wedge formation traveling about 400 knots in controlled air space. Emitted no sound. Observed 5 white disks in a wedge formation, color white traveling south at approximately 400 knots.
I estimate their altitude at about 8,000 feet. What causes me to report this is they were in a controlled air space. I am a retired Army officer and have never observed such craft.

Saw multiple ufo's over my house AND CAPTURED ON VIDEO Hi Peter, We spoke briefly last week and you asked me to send over a email so here it is. I went and took your advice and uploaded a bunch of videos and made a youtube page so here is the link: https://www.youtube.
com/channel/UCzXmN_nmfoPcmPrqw38QN4A So on the morning of aug 21st i was awoke around 430am and thought it was to early to let the dogs out (i usually wake up around 630am to do this) and the next think i knew i was at my front window peeping out and my phone starts ringing from a strange number and kept making my phone light up. i did not answer given the time but then when i checked my phone later after i remembered (it was all a blur) the numbers were no longer in my missed calls. So after the call thing the next thing i remember is standing at my back door about to let the dos out.
I noticed the light across the lake doing things it I’ve never noticed (I’ve lived here for 4 years) and when i asked my buddy who lives next door to him he said the guy doesn’t even have a light and that it is a reflector. Anyways, i took my camera out and you will be able to see the light across the lake start acting crazy. after a while i noticed something in the sky that looked like a triangle inside of some kind of bubble jumping all over the place.
When i looked around i noticed another bright light in the sky to the left of this object that would get bright as well and when i filmed it, it was a circle with a bright light around the edge all the way around. i knoticed the reflection in the lake start to get bigger and smaller and it was pitch black out. i got closer to the lake and at first i thought the lake was being drained cause it looked like there were walk ways throughout the lake and sounded like there was something or someone in there.
i focused back on the reflection and thought i saw things heading into the light. then when i looked back up at the spinning triangle i noticed what looked like a space ship rising straight up toward the spinning triangle, come to a complete stop for a few seconds and then precede toward the other bright light (with the light around the whole circle) and stop just under it. when the sun came up i looked in the lake and all the grass on the inside of t! he lake was matted down like a crop circle would look.
it was not like that the day before. the grass looks really clean and like you would see on a golf course green but on the inside of the lake. i also noticed what looked to be some kind of chemical on the surface that wasn’t there before either.
Im not sure what any of this is or means but in the moment it felt like there was something being hidden in the lake and possibly some kind of moving objects going into the light but not coming back out. A transport of some kind maybe or just nothing at all. yesterday 8-27-17 we had a storm rolling through.
i know clouds change shapes and all that but i don’t know if i was just seeing things or making my mind believe i was seeing things but i had the thought that there was things being trasported like machines, planes, sips etc behind these dark clouds. it looked like at one point some kind of sea creatures up there. again this could be nothing at all but would like some feedback on my first part of this email.
Also feel free to share my youtube page and videos. thanks again.

I observed something very strange on evening of June 10, 2016, at approximately 9:10pm EST. I was outside in my side yard looking West when from my left (South) I observed what appeared to be a fireball entering from high in the South. It traveled North North West.
It was approximately 3 times brighter than Jupiter (which was up) and very bright white yellow orange and had a slight tail pointing South. I instantly thought fireball, but the object was slowing down, so I instantly thought this object was space junk. This object was "dropping" what appeared to be hot material that was same color as the object.
The object continued to slow down and dripped the strange material two times on its trajectory before the object slowed to a complete static stop. I was baffled to say the least. As the object remained stationary, it dripped the bright material momentarily.
The flight time from when I saw the object to when it came to a complete static stop was approximately 10 seconds - which is far too long of a time for any fireball or space junk, which I've witnessed countless times. I observed this object stationary for approximately 2 minutes in absolute amazement. I had my iPhone in my hand and shot one still photo of the object prior to it coming to a complete stop and I shot video as well.
All you can see is a small dot due to iPhone camera not suited for shooting in dark. It also showed up on the video. While observing the object stationary for approximately 2 minutes I decided to take a chance a run in the house a grab a real camera, which only took about 2 minutes to retrieve, when I went back outside it was gone and I have no idea what happened to it.
I've been a dedicated amateur astronomer for over 40 years and I know the sky well. Also visible were commercial jetliners in the sky in the same general area of the sky. This was neither a fireball or space junk - they don't slow down and come to a complete stop in the sk! y as this object did.
It was not the Moon, which was up and in a different part of the sky. It was not Jupiter, which was up and in a different part of the sky. It was not Mars, which was up and in a different part of the sky.
It was not a satellite. It was not the ISS. I'm hoping that others observed this object and will make reports.

Flashing Multicolor Object - Distance Local From Ormond Beach, I was beach-side on the island looking to west toward Deland, I watched for over an hour an object that was emanating multiple lights, orange, green, blue and white. Initially the object appeared stationary but after a time of viewing, I noticed I had to move as the view was becoming obstructed by surrounding trees. At that point I could determine that it was moving slightly to the west.
Amazing flashing colors with no static theme or pattern. I looked in my binoculars and could determine that it was fairly local, probably within the county. This was the first time I have seen something like this, I called my neighbor over and he affirmed.

Lightning flash followed, by floating bright light seen in Ormond Beach, Florida early Easter morning. I was visiting my cousin at her condo in Ormond Beach. Her place is on the ground floor directly across the street from the ocean.
There were no stars in the sky. I saw what appeared to be a lightning flash in the distance. Then in the same space I saw a very bright light.
I thought it was too bright for a star and it seemed to be moving towards me. I tried to film, but all I had was my cell phone and I am not good at using the video. Anyway I did not get any pictures, just a black screen.
I watched for around 30 minutes and actually felt quite nervous. Suddenly two guys came up the stairs off the beach and startled me. I closed the shutter and went to bed.

I saw a glowing, orange colored burning flame for 45 seconds moving from west to east. I went to let the dog out and looked up into the sky to see a burning object flying across the sky moving from west to east. I ran into the house to get my son, who came out to witness it.
It appeared to move faster than a plane and not as fast a falling star. It was a glowing flame that was orangish in color. I saw it for a total of 45 seconds and my son saw it for 15 seconds.
The glowing flame just disappeared and seemed to burn out. ((NUFORC Note: Source indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD)).

Multiple sightings During the middle of June, my roommate and I had witnessed a rather bright star over Ormond beach on beach side. We live on the intercostal and work nights so often like to hang out and talk on the balcony after work anywhere between 2-5 am. On one night we witnessed this really bright star which then grew into a thin crescent shape.
Assuming we were crazy and seeing the moon behind clouds, we searched to finde the moon which we then realized at the time was behind us. At this point the bright light turned crescent went back to a bright light with a tail as if the crescent got cut in half, (at this time I called my boyfriend in hysterics trying to explain the sighting but he doesn't believe) soon after it then fade to just a star then disappeared into thin air. It didn't appear for the rest of the night.
Later on in the week, it appeared again, this time a little more south and didn't change into a crescent shape, but did grow a tail of light like a shooting star. Then the tail of light slowly faded, but the light grew bigger as if it was closer then ended up fading out and disappearing. We witnessed it two more times the last time being tonight the 16th.
Tonight my boyfriend was present to assure I wasn't crazy! Tonight I seen it first as a bright colorful flashing star, which my boyfriend always claimed as satilites in the sky. But this flashing light soon turned into a bright white light and then it ends up turning into a crescent shape and then back to a bright star then disappeared. All the sightings last about 30 mins but randomly in the early AM, sometimes higher sometimes just a over beachside Ormond.
Thanks to the last sighting my bf believes me finally! Lol It drives me crazy to not be able to explain these sights at all! I have video of the light going from dark to bright.

V-Shaped cloudy object with 6 lights. Saw lights in a v-shape formation move across the sky silently. Seemed almost cloudy around it.
Could see through it, like it was a boomerang shape instead of a full triangle. V shape was narrow compared to the stealth bomber. Witnessed by two people.
After losing sight and still looking at the stars for a while, I saw it, or a second, come back around. This time I counted 6 lights, 3 on each side.

series of 6 orange red silent unknown objects My boyfriend was sitting outside smoking on the screened porch,he called out to me to come and explained to me that he saw a series of planes (4) that he thought were on fire as he saw an orange glow,very bright on each one. `I thought he was losing it until i saw it for myself.I saw 2, so thats a total of six,they glowed a bright orange red,as if on fire,funny thing is they flew like a jet or helicopter,but there was absolutely no engine sound.
They were heading North from the South,in a single file line, no more than 1,000 feet out. Which is directly on the coastline,and appeared to be no more than 1,000 ft in the air.It was Bike Week so we will be surprised if nobody else saw anything.
They flew in line like birds do,a few minutes apart,say 1-3mins.apart,headed North towards Jacksonville,FL. I watched the last one until it left my field of vision,knowing that it flew a direct shoreline course to at least 20 miles North of my condo, at least past Flagler Beach, FL.

saucer shaped object in flight over ocean The object was not seen until I looked at two photos I had taken of a barge being towed in the ocean. In the first picture, only a speck is visible (under enlargement). In the second photo the object is quite clear and appears to have a slight trail.
I enlarged these photos slightly. They were taken from my hotel balcony at 4:07pm. When I first looked at the object I thought it was an oblong shape, but when I looked at it some more, it looked more saucer shaped with lights.
I had some people look at the photos and no one seems to be able to identify what it is, I'm hoping you can help.
