Crescent shaped UFO grace the sky and head towards the moon on St. Pete Beach Walking along the beach after my sweet 16 birthday party, it was around 2:45 - 3:00 in the morning. I was showing my friends my favorite star cluster, the Pleiades.
Upon explaining why I like them so much, one of my four friends with me pointed at the sky and said, "Whoa, what is that?" We all looked quickly. My best friend and I saw what we can only describe as a fast moving object in the shape of a half circle, with a little dip in the middle, flying towards the moon on the horizon. It was relatively far away, as if it was just gracing ((sic.
Grazing)) our atmosphere, but it was still pretty big. It was the color of the sky, which was black since it was nighttime, except a few shades lighter; so, like a blueish-grey. It was moving fast, but slow in the same time; just very smoothly.
It headed towards the moon, until finally it faded out. My sister, and friend that pointed out the UFO, say they saw something with red lights that kind of looked like an airplane. However, they were under the influence of drugs that night, where as my best friend and I were not.
After seeing the UFO, I got a very happy and bubbly feeling in my chest. It was amazing! I will never forget that night.

We saw 2 large UFOs 'docking' in the sky at a 30 degree angle for a long time. Driving home through downtown St. Petersburg, Fl.
Sunday night, we spotted an oval ship, UFO high in the sky NW of the area. It most probably was over the Gulf of Mexico, near Maderia Beach or Treasure Island. It just hung in the sky, about 10,000 feet or more up, was a beautiful pinkish color, slanted on a 30 degree angle.
After our car moved slowly up the street going west, we spotted another UFO near it. Same way. It was not exhaust, nor a cloud or a weather balloon.
Husband got it on video. If it were closer to the ground, it would be quite large, perhaps 3-4 miles large, estimating. They remained stationery and seemed like they were just docked there for the night.

Two, reddish orange balls appeared in the northern sky over St. Petersburg, FL. My family was setting off fireworks.
At around 10:30pm two reddish/orange spheres appeared in the northern sky. My husband and I noticed the glowing balls above the treeline. They were moving at a slow pace, almost seemed to hover moving from west to east.
They appeared hazy. At first I thought thet were fireworks, but they hung there for a couple of minutes then moved slowly to the east, just above the treeline. After about five minutes, they just disappear.
We (my husband and I) did not say anything to each other. Aproximately a half hour later my husband said to me, "What about those glowing balls?" At the time, I had no idea anyone else had noticed them. So when he said that, I felt varified.
We started to tell each other what we had witnessed. We saw the same thing. I noticed that others, in Florida, as well as neighboring states, had witnessed the same sightings.
The same reddish/orange glowing hazy balls in the night sky.

Green Object of Light falls out of the sky just outside of reaching distance but cannot be found. This was quick and simple. Walking down the street its 5 AM.
Relaxed in breathing, heart rate.etc. It was very fast about 1 second, like a picture.
A green "light-fireball-oval" dropped from above emanating a lime green hue. This UFO object fell no farther than 50-100 feet from me. I looked and looked for it but I do not think it even hit the ground.
I figured.shooting star that burnt out just before the ground, or roman candle.

triangular, delta shaped craft with about 6 light I just know we were leaving the condo to go eat at crabby bills or crabby jacks. We were headed what i believe was north. The beach woas on our right or east side.
We sat at the red light when my husband and his cousin noticed a space craft very low to the ground.maybe 10 stories high. It hovered over homes or condos that wouldve been close to the beach.
It sat moving motionless in the sky. It did not move for 5 minutes. It had no moise comi.
g from it. It was large, triangular shaped i think. It had lights 5 0r 6 in a triangle shape which is why i think it was a triangle shaped craft.
It was dark out, but lots of city lights enough to see and know it was not an airplane and not a helicopter. Im a teA her, i know what those look like. Mother use to work for delta so i know what planes look like.
This wasnt a plane. As we drove i tried to get a picture bbut couldnt act fast enough. By the time we got to the restaurant, beside the ocean.
ocean view, it was gone or we could no longer see it.

While walking my dog , I saw a star like object move and disappeared . FEBUARY 4 , 2014 , TUESDAY; AROUND 7:30 PM. I was walking my dog around 7:30 pm , glanced over towards the west and a star caught my eye .
What was different it was moving. I was using the telephone pole and powers lines as a eye guide . When it flew wwn it gradually went up and down , not up and down fast , like it was in a turbulence or somewhat .
Then it starting to fade to nothing or maybe the direction that it was going could have been heading north . There was no flashing red light , no sound and after it disappear a smaller plane was coming up with a flashing red light like it going to the area where it disappeared . North of me there is airport and to the east three airports , all within 10 to 30 mins driving .
While this star was moving there were planes flyng northeast , east and south with flashing red lights . Since I was walking my dog I couldn't get my smartphone out in time to take a video or pictures . The star moved and disappeared around 3 mins .
To the best of my knowledge this looked like a star . Some nights you can see falling stars but they moved differently , but no this was a star like object in our air space .
