Grouping of small bright orange lights seen in Hillsborough County, Florida When I was taking my nightly walk, I noticed 10 to 12 orange lights in the southwest sky at 8:35 PM. The lights were, from my perspective, smaller but better defined than the stars of the night. They appeared to be stationary with only 1 or 2 displaying very slight movement.

I texted my wife who was at home about a block away, but by the time she received the text and then scanned the same vicinity of sky (about 5 minutes later), they were all gone. I am baffled by what I saw. At first I thought of flares, but these lights did not drift downward as is typical with flares.

They had no characteristic of fireworks. I pondered if they were drones with high intensity orange lights. I would love to know if anyone else in Hillsborough County or west central Florida saw this amazing sight.

Boomerang shaped craft over downtown/historic district of Plant City Note: I will put a full detailed description of the craft at the bottom of the report for extra clarity At 10:10-10:15pm on Saturday night (date was 9/19/2020) my best friend and I had just gotten back from getting some food from a local fast food restaurant. We pulled into the driveway and parked my car and had our usual end of the day catching up before getting out. Once we got out of my car I took about five steps and was standing behind his car, which is parked directly to the left of mine, and noticed movement in the sky above me.

I looked up and to my shock saw a boomerang shaped craft about 150-200ft off the ground cruising slowly over our house, the wildest thing was that it was completely silent. I could hear crickets chirping and cicadas all around us but not this thing. It was heading towards the southeast.

I watched it for a good two seconds before i slapped my friend on the shoulder and told him to “Look at that fucking thing” and he saw it as well, we both watched in complete disbelief for another two seconds before it disappeared behind a tree that’s in a neighbot’s yard behind our house. After me freaking out for a good two minutes I told him to get in the car because we were going to try to follow it since I thought it would be flying towards a specific area that has been known, by my family at least, to be a small hotspot for UFOs/ UAPs. Unfortunately we did not end up seeing it again after we lost sight of it behind the tree.

If i had to guess I’d say it turned before we got in the car to try to follow it, I genuinely believe there should be other witnesses to this somewhere in town because of the simple fact that it was flying so low. Description: The craft was boomerang shaped and 25-35ft from wingtip-to-wingtip. It was mostly black but the perimeter of the craft was white with lights(?) that were turned off lining the outside of it.

The tree it eventually disappeared behind is probably 75-80ft tall and this thing was NOT far from the top of it at all. It was moving very slow, it’s hard to put a MPH estimate on it but it went from overtop where our pool would be to disappearing behind a tree in about 4.5 seconds.

Friend and I found in his front yard about 9:30 Thursday night, 22 of Feb., tonight. A light was glowing in the field in front of his house out in the country.

He went to it and picked it up and it was a clear plastic like object about the size of a marble, with bright light emitting from what looked to be the top. It was in a white paper bag about 2in. X 2in.

, like a coffee filter type material. We cut the bag and dumped it on his kitchen counter and the light dimmed and went out very quickly. What to do with it we don't know.

Right now its in his flower pot outside. I have snap shots and videos of it. I don't believe its what you would call a U.

F.O., but would like help to find out what it is.

Thanks. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

Very low-flying cylinder craft w/ mostly green (less red) lights that trailed behind it, Plant City My cat (who is deaf btw) started staring off into the sky with ears up which is the only reason it made me look.it was very low flying, silent, almost shaped like a very narrow rectangle but there was no definite start/end to the structure I could see because it was night and there were lights on it that were more defined at the front but hazey towards the rear… green lights on the front, red and white on the back… not little dot lights, very large and bright. It moved almost gracefully from the moment I saw it, until it was blocked from view by a tree and no longer visible on a perfectly straight line, no altitude changes (maybe 35 mph??).

It almost didn't look real because it was so close and bright. How it was able to move without any sounds has my head spinning bc it was large and closer to me than any helicopter would ever be capable of flying… I don't know how large they make drones, but it would amaze me if someone in this small town had the ability and finances to acquire something like that… This is something I've never seen before. I'm still in shock.

Full Report Text:

Low flying, very quiet triangular craft with bright white lights flying very slowly over Plant City, Fl. My teenage son and I were behind our apartment. His hamster had passed and we were looking for a spot to bury her.

We looked up and saw what, a first, we thought was a tower with lights that we had not noticed before. It was a bank of lights that were very bright and a bit blurry so I cannot be certain how many - I would say four or five, my son thinks three. These lights were in a straight line and, as I said, we thought this was a tower we had not noticed before because the lights were very low in the sky.

However, when we looked up again they were closer. There is a small craft airport near us and had the lights been headed in that direction or coming from that direction I would have dismissed them - they did neither, however. The craft was slow, much slower than a plane or a jet would have been especially at that altitude.

As it drew closer we could see that the object was triangular. All of the lights were very bright, and all white. It passed over us s! lowly, seeming to get lower as it went.

Because the lights were so bright we were unable to see anything distinguishing other than the shape and an obvious metallic sheen. As it passed overhead we heard a noise no louder than a semi would make passing on a highway. This sound was much lower than any jet or plane - however small - I have ever heard.

We could talk easily in low voices and hear each other though it was quite close. As it passed overhead we ran through the breezeway of our apartment and out to the front where we watched it - still extremely low - pass over some trees and out of our sight. We watched the skies, and listened, for a full half hour but did not see it return.

We were concerned maybe it was some sort of plane that was crashing as it was so low but, as I said, it passed much too slowly to be a plane. We heard nothing after that, nor did we see anything more. As it did not leave from the direction of the small airport nor did it travel in that directio! n I do not believe it was a small aircraft.

It was, by far, on! e of the oddest things I have ever seen in my life. We have lived in this area for three years and have seen a lot of different small aircraft traffic from the little airport near us but this was like none of the planes we have ever seen. Nor was this any type of glider.

Bright orange circular object with red lights around it My son and I saw a low-flying, completely silent object from a distance and watched as it passed right over us. I thought it had to be a helicopter but it was absolutely silent and close. It was a bright orange circle with red lights around it.

very bright and not like anything I've ever seen before. I used ((a bad word)) in front of my kid if that tells you my level of disbelief.

Heard very very fast militiary type aircraft approaching from west to east and then the sound traveled vertical. There was no visisble craft. The noise sounded like a militiary jet doing manuevers at an airshow,but once again no visible craft.

The sound was measured with my arms sticking straight out east and west (63 inches) and it would have taken the craft 3 seconds of travel time to cover the distance. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

Fireball-like craft seen flickering in the sky. I was heading back for my house after dropping my husband off at work, and an object in the sky caught my eye. It looked like something flaming coming down to earth, but when I kept observing, it did not come down, but rather hover and shift positions.

After a few minutes it flickered and then disappeared in thin air. At first I was scared it was an asteroid or something of the like. I have never seen anything like that in my life.

I wish I would have had some way to record it but I was driving with 3 children in the car so I had to drive safely.

Orange Gliding Objects in the Night Sky It was a clear night, and I noticed in a southern range that there were four bright orange lights in the sky, spaced evenly apart, but not in a straight line. At first I thought they were lights atop electrical towers. But as I drove closer, I noticed they were not attached to anything.

I pulled the car over because I wanted to observe the lights for awhile. They were traveling slowly, almost gliding, in a west to east direction. Each one was a brightly colored orange light; they sparkled and were quite pretty.

I looked to the west and saw that others were coming into my view. This was good because as the others traveled towards the night clouds, they disappeared. The "show" lasted about five minutes and then they had all disappeared.

I called my friend who lived on my street, and as I was close to my neighborhood, she was able to see them as well. She also told me that she had seen them a couple of months ago but never mentioned it. After doing a brief search on the Internet, I saw that these same objects have been sighted all over the country in the past few months, and there were reports from the UK as well.

Full Report Text:

Visual observance of an object high in a clear sky that appeared to ascend and disappear. At Approximately 12:00 PM Thursday March 5, 2009 I was looking into the upper skies slightly toward the north. I spotted a white colored object, as I peered through my Arnette polarized sunglasses.

The object was between the 10 and 2 o’clock position. The object appeared to be about the size of a bright planet at night. The shape was similar to a large jet.

The object was moving in an easterly direction at a relatively low rate of speed. The object turned to the northeast and appeared to be ascending when it quickly disappeared. There was no contrail and no sound from where I stood.

The elapsed time was approximately ten seconds.

Full Report Text:

The black object flew at a constant speed, high altitude, in an uncommon & constantly changing flight path then vanished instantly. Today I witnessed a flying object that I definitely could not identify, it was unlike anything I had ever seen before. I am a 24 year old man, healthy, with perfect eyesight, and no history of mental illness of any type.

I am not prone to exaggerations or having an overactive imagination. I served in the U.S.

Army a few years back, and I do not drink or do any type of drugs, nor do I take any kind of medication. What follows is a detailed description of the object I saw this afternoon while sitting by the pool with my fiance. She did not see the object because her view was obstructed by some small shade trees surrounding the pool, also her eyesight is not that great, and by the time I told her what I was seeing, the object was seconds away from disappearing from sight.

The object seemed to be flying at an extremely high altitude, making it appear extremely small and making it very difficult to discern it's actual shape and size. From my position on the ground it was like watching a tiny sugar ant! It appeared to be dark in color, probably black. The object appeared to be opaque, and it did not seem to reflect the sunlight or emanate any light of its own either.

It moved in and out of the few clouds that were in the sky mostly at a constant speed, although it did seem to speed up somewhat as it left from view. The really odd thing is that it did not disappear from sight into the clouds, but rather just seemed to become invisible into a clear blue sky. There was very little cloud cover at the time, but I did see what appeared to be a very faint trail of vapor or exhaust trailing behind it.

It flew in a very odd flight path that I've never seen with airplanes, helicopters or birds. First it seemed to make a circular pattern, then a figure eight, followed by a straight line from left to right, and then back from right to left, it again made one or two circles, one more figure eight, and another circle, before simply disappearing into a cloudless patch of blue sky. Another thing that struck me as odd, and this my fiance did witness first hand too, is that there were several large black birds that flew above us just a short while before the object first came into view.

They were flying towards us, in the opposite direction of where I saw the object. At first several of them were flying pretty high up, but they were still very clearly recognizable as birds. This is why I know for certain that the object I saw afterwards could not have been a bird, for one thing it was flying at an altitude that was much higher than any of the birds, who at one point were flying about as high as any birds I've ever seen before, although later they flew above us again but at a much lower altitude.

Also the flight path & speed of the object was so completely different from birds or any known ai! rcraft, at least in my experience.

unknown object fell from clear sky. I was on the way to work, from Lakeland to Tampa, FL. Traveling west bound on I-4.

While passing through the area of Plant City, I heard a loud thump on the top of my car. Similar to the sound of a body hitting the roof. I thought it was a large bird.

I immediately looked in my rear view mirror. There was nothing falling off the top of my car. I pulled over and stopped.

There is a large dent covering over 1/3 of the roof. No sign of feathers or blood. I had not gone under a bridge or overpass.

No plane visible above. Clear sky. No distinct clouds.

I am only sending you this information in case it has happened to some one else, as well. Do not wish to be contacted.

Two objects that at first appeared to just be stars were moving in two different formations in the night sky. I had just arrived at my home in Plant City, Florida after visiting a friend of mine in Tampa earlier that evening. I had travelled with the t-tops of my Pontiac TransAm off and was admiring the night sky as I parked the vehicle in my back yard.

As I looked toward the constellation Gemini, I did a double take. Two stars appeared to be moving. They were moving slowly from west to east.

One was following directly behind the other and and was to the mind's eye a distance of between two fingers making a "victory" sign. In order to rationalize what I was seeing, I wondered if these were two satellites in a linear orbit. I have seen single satellites in orbit both at night and near dusk, but I have never seen one follow the other.

As I continued to watch, the second light moved southward and caught up with the front light. The two lights then continued to proceed eastward directly in formation (seperated by now the distance between the index and little finger) just above Ursa Major and literally faded from view. A northbound commercial airliner at approximately 25,000-35,000 feet agl on a nortwesterly heading was visible in the lower eastern sky.

By comparison, these two objects appeared to be much, much higher than the commercial aircraft. What was the most fascinating thing about this sighting was the almost scary ability of the two craft to blend in with the stars. Unless you spotted them and followed their movement, you wouldn't even think that anything out of the ordinary was occuring in the night sky.

I can still not rationalize what these two objects were, nor how to explain their movements. Did any satelite or space station activity occur over central Florida at that time? Thanks ((NUFORC Note: We assume that the witness describes above the launch of a Titan IV missile out of Cape Canaveral, which occurred at 20:55 hrs. (Eastern) on this date.

The missile apparently was launched to the northeast, so it was visible along the eastern shoreline of the U. S. PD)).
