I captured multiple UAP, at least one of which is traveling at non-human speed. I live on the intracoastal waterway here in West palm beach, Florida. 5 miles north of Mar-A-lago and PBI.
My 10th floor balcony faces south with views to the east and west. On October 26 2022, I was getting some sun on my balcony. At 11:54 AM I looked up into bright sunlight with several high white puffy clouds and I noticed a white Tic Tac shaped object darting in and out of the cloud at my 12 o'clock position high in the sky.
I was stunned and went inside to grab my Samsung galaxy S22 ultra to try and film the object. I looked up to start filming and saw 5-10 black Tic tic UAP descending from the top cloud to the one beneath it. I aimed the camera towards the bright sunlight and began filming.
After 7 seconds I stopped to see if I had the correct framing as it was so bright and hard to see my screen. I began filming again a 2nd time lasting 15 seconds. Upon reviewing the videos with family and friends, we could see multiple black UAP descending and then noticed a White UAP descending at a high rate of speed from top right at the 9 second mark.
2 days later my brother noticed an almost subliminal bright flash at the 8 second mark. After slowing down the footage I could see a bright white UAP going from bottom to top at non-human speed. I was shooting at 60 FPS and this object was only in 3 of 60 frames.
Thats 50 milliseconds I believe. I thing I captured 3 different types of UAP and I want to get this into the right hands for proper analysis. Please look closely.
Thank you.

Blue / Green / Yellow Light Orb emitted their own light - moved close to us for at least 5-10 minutes (see video) If I heard someone telling me this story I would think they were nuts, however here goes . a blue / green / yellow light emitting orb has visited for several days. Before you think I'm crazy, please look at the two videos, and I also have about 10 photos of it moving.
I documented it visiting on Oct 12 and Oct 14th, 2022. On Oct 12 I could see it further away, on the other side of the trees, but then Oct 14th it came closer to me, on my side of the trees. It would disappear and move quickly from sight and I would ask for it to return and then it would show itself again.
Please watch the videos otherwise it just sounds crazy. There was a beautiful aura around the orb, very bright. It was not a "hard" surface, the shape would shift a bit, but the light emitted was bright.
If you look at the still photos you can see clearly a circle(ish) with a brighter light at the core and also a translucent aura around the circle. I took screenshot blow-ups so that you can see what I am trying to describe. I took these photos and videos from two very different sections of my balcony - I have a large terrace that wraps around my entire condo.
This evening I will look for the orb again . interesting that I have seen it on two separate evenings. I just tried to download the videos, but sadly they were too large, but I did manage to download 5 photos.
You will see they are time stamped from 10:24pm to 10:38pm.

A white tic-tac-shaped object was observed by witnesses to be speeding past an aircraft, spotted against the blue sky background. The object produced no noticeable noise at that range and left no visible trail. Witnesses noticed that the object was very far off in the distance as it passed behind the clouds and drifted in a straight line until it was out of sight.
Comparing the speed of the object with the nearby aircraft, it made it appear the plane was moving at a snail’s pace. The primary witness stated in the report form that the time of the sighting was 2 AM. The investigator is convinced that the witness’s sighting time was actually 2 PM.
("spotted against the blue sky and next to a plane").

White/Silver Disc coming from the Atlantic stops in midair to change forms not once, not twice, not thrice, but FOUR TIMES!! On March 16th, 2016, I was taking my car for a test drive after I had the battery jumped due to leaving my hazard lights on at work. All was running smoothly under the hood after a short cruise south on *Flagler Drive (*a waterfront road stretching the length of the intercoastal waterway, on the Atlantic Coast of S.Florida.
) As I prepared to make a right turn heading west onto P. Beach Lakes Blvd; something bright,shiny, white & INCREDIBLY FAST caught my eye. Driving parallel with the object I could see clearly against a blue, cloudless sky; that it was a white or silver disc, heading West, presumably from off the Atlantic Ocean.
Realizing what I was seeing, I quickly pulled into a CVS parking lot & parked facing the object. At this EXACT time, the disc stopped completely. Sitting stationary in mid air.
Before I could think, blink or click a pic, the object literally & almost instantaneously, changed from a white disc into dark grey/silver disc. It stayed this way for maybe .06 seconds, before dissolving/dissipating into what I can only describe as a smear of dark grey smog/smoke.
The smog/smoke had an odd form, horizontal with a slight upward angle, . Before I could think about it at all, it changed/morphed AGAIN. This time into a perfectly white, fluffy, “nothing to see here’” CLOUD.
This blazingly fast, white then silver DISC, dissipated into a smear of grey smog (for a split second) then changing one final time into the white cloud. A seemingly normal, white cloud, that wouldn’t solicit a second glance from anyone. My excitement & adrenaline was definitely elevated after this sighting, due to the fact that my Husband & I FINALLY saw our first UFO (TicTac!) one month before this sighting.
Early February 2021, we spotted the white/off-white ‘TicTac’ coming from the East (Atlantic Ocean) heading west, inland. The size, speed & maneuvers were unmistakable to me & convinced my husband, who is an engineer with 15 years of experience of all things-in-motion, that we indeed have some pretty intriguing visitors here is SoFla!.

High-speed stop-n-go alternating lights between big bright meteor intensity to small softer blue. At approximately 8:45 p.m.
, I walked down the stairs of my West Palm Beach apartment to check the mailbox. I looked up at the eastern sky and though,t "What a beautiful evening!" In that moment I saw what I thought to be a bright white meteor falling from the northeast, but it stopped! The bright light shut off as it hovered and flashed a small blue light. After a moment, the brilliant white light activated again, and the.
object zipped around at an amazing speed like a bumblebee, stopped again and flashed blue. This happened several times before the light turned a small steady blue and flew and traveled to the northeast horizon at an incredibly clip until it disappeared. The object seemed to be zipping and hovering over Palm Beach International Airport.
I don’t think a commercial drone can travel that quickly or emit such a brilliant light. Unfortunately, I did not have my cell phone with me.

Low flying object flying extremely fast along the coast heading south, West Palm Beach. I saw what I first thought was an aircraft. But it was flying much too fast.
There were no flashing lights, as most aircraft have. It was flying low, just on the horizon, from north to south paralleling the coast. It was beige/off white in color and hazy.

Bright light in the sky changed from white to red, It started to blink and then disappeared. Object was stationary for 3-4 minutes. I was on 441 heading to work early in the morning, when I noticed a very bright plane in the sky, I watched it for a while not thinking much about it and noticed that it hadn’t moved.
So I stayed watching it for about 20 seconds ( which was hard because I was driving) but I managed to keep an eye on it when I noticed it started to dim away, Almost completely, then came back into view but this time it was red.which really caught my attention so I started trying to video tape but obviously driving and video taping something in the sky is a lot easier said than done. Anyways as I start getting closer to where this thing is In the sky (I was driving In a straight line for about 3-4 minutes) it goes back to its original form and starts to blink every couple of seconds.
at this point I was freaking out and had just pulled up to a red light, but of course once I did it was gone. Completely. If I wasn’t heading to work I would have stayed In the area to see if ! I could spot what ever it was again.
The weirdest part about all of this is that me and two other people saw something very similar to this about six months ago over the same road and basically same location I’m not sure what it could be I thought about a lot of different possibilities perhaps someone in the area has a really expensive drone but it would have to be gigantic the size of a plane.I can give you guys the roads that I saw it hovering above but I don’t know much about longitude and latitude location.

Green light speeding across ocean in south florida I was sitting at my apartment in Palm Beach, watching the ocean, when me and many others saw this strange green light moving across the ocean. It was hovering over the ocean and was roughly 5 miles away from land just before the horizon. It was moving faster then any airplane could.
It was going south. It sped across the ocean and stopped suddenly. Then after a short break, it continued on until it was out of site.

Hi. Tonight I witnessed 2 orange "pyramid" shaped UFO's moving at approx. 100 to 150 mph over the Palm Beach International ai Hi.
Tonight I witnessed 2 orange "pyramid" shaped UFO's moving at approx. 100 to 150 mph over the Palm Beach International airport area. They were separated by about 1 mile and a half and seemed to be about 30 feet wide front to back and side to side.
They were making no sound and were not fighter jets using afterburners. I was in the U.S.
military and was in areas to watch fighters in training at bases overseas and they were not fighters. They appeared to resemble a pyramid shape pointing into the sky as they were flying. they were moving in a north north east direction.
I saw no beams being used. As I went down the road to see where they were going they disappeared over the airport without landing at the airport. The craft actually were flying directly over president Trumps Golf Course here in Palm Beach and I have seen these same types of crafts with different shapes flying over the same area before.
About 4 years ago I saw seven crafts flying ! in a circular pattern over the same golf course moving slower at about 70 or 80 mph. Those craft disappeared into a large cloud bank after circling the area for about 40 minutes. In total I have seen about 15 small lighted or orange type unidentified craft flying over or around this area before.
This is no joke and is real. I'm sitting right under where I saw them tonight writing this to you and only feet from the Palm Beach airport.

Long White light hanging in E. Fl. Sky.
Burst into 4 fire balls, and was gone. I was driving north on A1A in Highland Beach area. I looked a bit west toward downtown W Palm Beach.
I saw a long white light hanging in sky. Not across but up and down! There was a plane above it in the distance, I thought it was towing something. I looked over as I drove.
The plane continued to the east but the light just hung in the same spot. It was maybe 3-4 inches in the distance. Quite big.
It just hung there.not moving in the sky. Then from the bottom of the streak, it burst into 4 fire balls and was gone.
Just disappeared. I have looked for reports of satelite launches and meteors. Nothing found.
There was a meteor shower going on at that time. They usually go across sky. Was this one that burnt up in atmosphere? I have seen meteors but never anything like this! Did anyone else see this? ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate.
PD)).

very small cigar shape - disappeared seconds after sunlight reflected off of it. I was driving on Military Trial, coming up to Okeechobee Road (north of), heading southbound. I wasn't paying too much attention but notice a small aircraft.
To which I usually always look, being there is an Airport 2 miles away and Off the same road I was on. Anyhow, I thought it seemed too small to be landing, which it was in the path for Commercial landing, but was not big enough to be one, and was too high up. Thought it very was strange, it didn't resemble any aircraft I have seen around, wasn't a helicopter, was smaller than some of the private planes I have seen, was similar to a cigar shape, but didn't get a long enough look to say.
I live off Military too, so the small private jets and planes path is over my house, and I usually see one daily, sometimes more. As I drove further along, I noticed it had stopped and as soon as it stopped, it seemed to have flashed sunlight off of it, and then it was gone, totally just disappeared! Nowhere in any direction. I dropped my mouth, knowing I had just seen a UFO.
All my life I have wanted to see one and it happened on a day I wouldn't expect and during the daytime! --- Also noted from another witness reported on here, the night before, was a blue orb reported in the same southern sky, not a few miles east of me. Wonder if it was the same??.

Unidentified, low-frequency, pulsing noise - could not locate a source. At approximately 01:00, on the night of May 10, 2016, I was woken to a very low frequency humming/pulsing noise. I got up, went to the window, nothing.
So I ran to my balcony for a better view of the sky. The only thing I can say about what I witnessed was that the night sky was red, BRIGHT night - the brightest I have ever seen. The moon was only about half full at this point, but I could not identify a noise source and noticed the pulsing almost seemed to move across me - as of it was something tangible.
Seemed to be eminating from south of my location. This noise was almost intoxicating - I did not want to move. I walked inside and about thirty minutes had past, but where the time went I do not know.
It felt like less than five minutes from when I woke up to coming back inside, but that was not the case. Upon entering my house my dog (she is a hearty boxer) started backing up very slowly and began a low growl. I walked up to her and as soon as I touched her she was herself again.
I also have three cats that would not come out of my bedroom until days later. I woke up the next morning with what appeared to be one long hive stretching from my mid thigh all the way up to the back of my ribcage (right side) - I have never had 'hives' before, but I brushed it off - initially. It has been almost a complete seven days since and the one big hive has not budged - not even itchy.
I can run my hands along it without even realizing I am doing so. This is the most frightening experience out of the whole sha-bang. No craft was visible to me and I have not heard the pulsing noise since that night.
I did bring my phone outside with me and thought I hit 'record' bc I remember hitting the 'stop' button upon entering my house again, but no video was recorded - no sight, no sound, and no time stamps. Ever since hearing this I have been on a mission to find others who might've heard this, as well. My parents' live about two miles north of me and I asked them both if they had seen or heard anything odd that Tuesday night.
Both said no though my father did state the sky looked different that night than any other. My father has been sailing the world for over forty years so for him to state this. It means a lot to me.
If anyone else in south Fl heard this, please make yourselves known. Thank you.

Two crafts with orange pulsating glow coming from under belly, travelling from East to West at slow speed, vanished progressively, at about 6000 ft. msl.
Full Report Text:
Was approximately 13:00 give or take a few min. I was standing outside. The sky was very clear except for some downward looking wisps about 5 of them separated equally with the same size of separation as their actual size and they were positioned North North West of my location as well as being the actual geographicly.
it was as I was looking at this particular formation I noticed 2 high flying birds possibly hawks in the same area. It was then that I saw something just silently hauling ass in a near perfect westward direction. At first I thought it must be a third bird but I also noticed it was lighter in color and seemed to be moving incredibly fast and like I mentioned in a perfect line westward.
I spent a few seconds trying to focus on better on the object I couldn't tell if it was small or larger and further away or at a much much higher altitude than a normal passenger aircraft. I've been in the military and it did not resemble any fighter jet mannerisms! at all. Upon continuing to focus in i could see the shape almost disc saucer like but more like a streamed down shape of an egg laying in its side almost like a sleek teardrop on its side fat end would be the rear end and point would be the front.
There was no chemtrail or exhaust if you will. This had to all of it take less than a minute of actual viewing of the craft. Like I stated it was hauling ass and so perfectly straight.
That stood out to me a lot for some reason. The craft also was a light grey/silver in color it seemed and I also recall that it had that metallic sheen to it somewhat reflecting the sun light to some small degree and it was doing so correctly in relation to the sun's current position in the sky. It actually took longer for the facts of what I saw to finally click than the event itself lasted lol.
It was incredible plain sight clear day. I only wish I had grabbed my phone camera but it was so so fast the moment would have been lost trying to fumble! with the phone and zooming in etc. It's memory was so vivid and intense that I just had to find out if anyone else saw it and I've never thought of reporting one let alone seeing one.
But I am compelled to make this report. My first one ever.
