Full Report Text:
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.

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.
