Thought at first I captured a shooting star, but realized they do not move up the sky.

Just enjoying some nighttime photography when I captured an oval shaped, reddish glowing object with a glowing white trail moving upward at a high rate of speed. There was no sound. If I didn't have the photo I wouldn't believe it either. The photo I provide is original and unedited.

Small white lights moving quickly same paths

Laying on the beach at night close the the Ferris wheel on Carolina beach, small fast moving white lites in the sky moving quickly, sometimes making a small nimble change in direction, but most following the same path, most of the lights were traveling individually, but now snd the your would see a2 or 3 acting as if they are racing. This same sighting was on both nights we were at the beach. The lights are very small and unless you are focused on looking at stars you might miss them. It almost appeared to be drones racing but the light was a single small white light on all of them. No sound was observed.

Duration: Seems like an hour
No of observers: 2

Location: Atlantic Beach, FL, USA

Shape: Unknown
Characteristics: Lights on object, Electrical or magnetic effects, Animals reacted

I noticed the unidentified bright lights and vertically aligned squared shaped objects moving sporadically as seen on the security cam.

At 5:03 am, I checked our security cams, and, for the first several seconds of clicking on our security cam 1, the security system kept saying the system is busy and unable to record when I clicked "armed" or record. My husband and I received a series of notifications (thru the security cam app we use) regarding motions detected, but he seemed to be ignoring them though. I checked the security cam 1 and viewed it live. It seemed like something was interfering with it. I shared the live cam with my husband, but he said they were spider webs. Below is one of the video clips that I saved on my phone. More than 4 bright lights/or light reflections started moving sporadically later in the recordings, while 3 of them, shaped like small squares, were vertically aligned at the top left of the video. I think the video below was recorded at 5:25 am. I stopped the recording at about 5:45 am, and those unidentified sporadic bright lights were still hovering ne! ar or by the security cam 1. I'm assuming this event lasted about an hour, because at around 6 am, the sun generally starts to rise. I also noticed in one of the recorded clips, a bunch of raccoons were running across the other side of the street towards where the dumpster is and away from our driveway.

An object with green lights flew overhead at an incredible rate of speed.

We were driving northbound on Seminole Road an object with a square front and green lights appeared behind us high in the sky and then flew past at an incredible rate of speed until it was too far away to be seen. It did not disappear but instead flew at such a high rate of speed that it was beyond or range of sight in seconds. The object appeared to be heading roughly northward.

Caterpillar shape moving orange lights in the sky

We were outside talking and saw a light. I asked my friend what it was then two appeared. They would blink on then wait several minutes blink off. They then leap frogged over each other. Then all of a sudden several appeared in succession out of the blue. Then moved like a caterpillar in the sky. Blinked on and off moved back into two visible then zipped off. We walked across the street to the beach and ran into a group of people who had seen the same thing.

Unusual points of light in the Atlantic Beach sky.

I was just sitting outside tonight, looking directly above my head in Atlantic Beach, FL. Staring above and to the western sky, I saw what resembled descriptions of the AZ lights. The difference was the lights I saw seemed so far away that the speed they were exhibiting is indescribable.

These lights were so far away though that if not witnessed continuously would resemble stars.

I kept my head turned upwards, with my gaze staring in a single position, and the lights moved outside of my periphery. This was my way of determining the lights were moving.

At certain points, there seemed to be 1 to 6 lights illuminated at once. Then, all but one light would be visible. Then the lights seemed to illuminate the way a Cuttlefish displays its luminescence. The semi-circle luminescence moved to the northwest.

Looking at a single point in the far away sky, I would stare at the last point I saw a light, and then the light would disappear, and then the light would reappear at a different point. I knew it was a different point because I hadn’t moved my gaze and when the light reappeared I had to move my eyes.

The lights seemed to at some moments to be in a semi-circular configuration, maybe 4-6 lights, and then they would dissipate to 3, and then just 1 light.

At intervals the lights seemed to kind of flash heat lightening, but the “heat lightning” would move quickly like the individual lights did.

I look at the sky often and have never seen anything like this. I am quite shaken.

Did anyone else witness this?

Outside grilling. Looked north @ 50° and noticed a white Orange light. At first I thought it was an aircraft and didn't pay much notice to it.

I flipped the food on the grill and began talking to a friend and looked up and the light was still there but a more orange color. Object hadn't moved.

I continued to observe the light for movement. There was none.

Light became more intense and shifted to a red/orange and began to blink/flicker for about 30 seconds then disappeared.

I had thought I witnessed a stellar occurrence such as a supernova.

Shape: Disk


I saw a bizzare disk or wheel type craft in broad daylight in Atlantic beach, FL.

On or about November 10th, 2010 I was standing in a lot behind the Motorcycle shop where I worked in Atlantic Beach FL. I was off of Mayport rd and the nearest cross street was Plaza rd and I was on the west side of Mayport rd. The time was approximately 11am-1pm.

The object I saw in the sky was seen by me and another witness who did not believe in UFO's. The "craft" looked like a dark grey shadow with a metallic disk attached to it and the metallic disk was shinny and rotating around the perimeter of the dark grey object as it moved across the sky. It looked to be about 1000ft up or less. I could see it as if it were fairly near. It did not look like any UFO I have ever seen in any Youtube videos or otherwise.

It moved slowly across the sky maybe 30-40 mph. I have seen several undeniable UFO's in this area (hovering lights, cigar shaped objects, etc.) but this was the most significant due to being in broad daylight with a witness and there was no question it was a non-conventional craft.

It is also of note that there is a major Naval base within 2-3 miles of this location.

3 separate incidents of large saucer shaped object(s) and small round lights, reddish orange-ish, witnessed by 2 or 3 people.

We had three separate incidents on the same evening, which was Thursday, July 22, 2010.

1. Sometime between 9 pm and 10 pm, my sister and I were sitting side by side on the second floor porch of our beach house looking towards the ocean when we saw one small reddish, slightly orange light appear out of nowhere. It reminded in the sky for a few seconds, then disappeared; poof it was gone. Brief seconds later it reappeared in the same place then suddenly become two and moved apart slightly, then disappeared: poof gone.

Brief seconds later the single light reappeared and then quickly blinked out. There was no sound. They seemed very far away The lights were not the same red as lights on airplanes or helicopters. My sister is in her mid- 40's, very intelligent, very down to earth. I was surprised when she said, " I saw them too."

2. Later, after 10 pm, my two sons (14 and 17) and my brother (early 40's) were sitting on the same 2nd floor porch looking towards the ocean. My son (17) saw a large, saucer-ish shaped object, about the size of the moon only not the moon, not round, not white, but red on the outside, fading into bright yellow on the inside.

It appeared out of nowhere. It slowly (but still in brief seconds) moved to the left and remained there for 2 seconds. It slowly (but still in brief seconds) separated in 5 objects, reddish orange in color, saucer-ish shape. but smaller than the original mass. It was as though the large saucer-ish shaped light was covering the 5 smaller masses and it disappeared to uncover the 5 smaller things. Then they disappeared from the outside in: they went from 5 to 3 to 1 to none. My son (14) had the impression of a red light that " looked sort of like fire" that " looked like it sort of came in" and then " went out." My brother was not looking in the same direction and missed all of this because happened so quickly. My sons both have good heads on their shoulders as far as I know. My brother is ultra logical. I was down stairs. My sons came and got me and I went back up to the porch.

3. Now my 2 sons and my brother and I are sitting on the 2nd floor porch (between 10:30pm and 11pm), raptly studying the sky over the ocean. After about 30 min. suddenly a large (moon sized) saucer-ish object came out of absolutely nowhere. It was the reddish, orange color. No sound. It seemed to have movement, as thought it was vibrating or something. It was there for seconds and then POOF! it was gone. We were all amazed.

I have seen 2 maybe 3 things in the sky that I cannot explain during my life. I'm 51. I am open, but also try to be a critical thinker and question everything. I would not mistake the moon or the planet Venus for an alien craft or a manmade craft!
