I saw a very bright white cloudy or foggy orb darting across the sky. Seemed low. No trail and no flickering. Was definitely not a plane nor a helicopter (I see them every day and night here and I know what they look like. No sound that I could hear but I was driving. It seemed low but it was darting quite fast through the sky. It was not a shooting star, either. I saw it go through the sky for maybe 20 seconds and then just vanished with losing or gaining altitude nor did it go behind any trees or hills.

Location details: West of Midland, South of Sanford

Shape: Orb


Dim star looking lights 'dancing' around erratically

Got home from work after 0600 before sunrise. Decided to Stargaze before going inside/sunrise and noticed to the west a very dim light assumed to be a star. As I watched I noticed it wasn't stationary because it was above the treeline it was easy to conclude it was slightly moving, to which I thought it was a satellite. Then it changed direction and went back. It would then move around up, down, left, and right changing speeds but stayed in the same general location. I noticed there was another one to the northwest and two more to the north, all moving in the same way as the first one. The lights were so dim they didn't appear on camera, but did seem to get brighter as the ambient light from the rising sun got brighter, so I assume they were reflecting sun light. Couldn't see them after the daylight finally got too bright. The only explanations I could think of are birds even though I can't explain how they were bright before the sun arose or why they would reflect sun light to that degree, drones flown over 3 different locations, or my eyes/brain seeing something when there was nothing.

We have several videos we can send. This object was darting around, looked at times like a brain with transmissions occurring inside and changing colors. Never seen before and have worked at Area 51. Called the neighbors and they confirmed seeing this object and being unfamiliar with anything like it. We would like some ideas as to what it could be. The sky was clear. Animals were going crazy in a couple videos. We were upstairs and standing on an outdoor deck.
Thank you!

Tetrahedron orb flashing colors, hovers, changes shapes and directions over my field nightly many pictures and videos

m sending a video from January 28, 2001 at approximation 6:33pm taken in front of my home. I have over a year of video and pictures of strange hovering objects that change shape and color over the field in front of my home that I have seen during the day and night as well as many witnesses. I would like someone to investigate. I believe it is not of this world and I have never witnessed anything like this until I moved to this location. I have seen up to 7 at a time near my home. Usually it is only one or two objects and they seem to communicate to each other.

They are very strange in shape like a tetrahedron shape and flash different colors but also change shape into some kind of orb. It is hard to explain. I have pictures of the same object that looks very different in each picture. I have had one get so close that it made me nervous and I ran back to my front porch. It was approximately 100 feet away. I feel as if it is observing me at times. It will stay hovering quietly over the field as long as I stand there watching and recording. When I look for them they are usually there unless the weather is bad. Please respond and help me get this looked into. Thank you.

My dog woke me up Saturday morning around 5am to go out. While I was out I saw a bright white orb on the horizon. I watched and took video for about 6 minutes. It pulsated and moved several times coming back to hover. It pulsated red a few times. Ultimately ended up hearing a weird bird or Predator sound and went back inside. Very Strange

If an airplane came near it dimmed its light til I couldn't see it. Then once the air plane was gone the light came back. I was nervous and almost scared. I have video and pictures and my 2 sons and I were witnesses.

3 unidentified bright orange objects travelling in the same direction

3 bright orange objects were seen by a husband and wife age 64 and 58, and their relative, an 88 year old woman visiting from England. The wife is a senior airport supervisor, and the husband, a professional health-medical writer. The objects were moving together in a straight line with a distance between them, travelling from north north west to south west toward Oviedo or Titusville, FL. The objects were solid and consistent in their appearance during the duration of the sighting. There was no sound heard, and no flashing or blinking lights. Their height is hard to determine as their size could not be discerned, but wife thinks the height could have been around 15,000 feet or so.

I was outside by my car when I saw these lights, it was too low for a plane and it couldn't be a drone due to so many trees in the area I spotted it at...I could see it moving through the trees, I watch d it for about 4 minutes straight before I decided to get the hell out of there. It was like 4 street lights in a line flying about 12 feet in the air.

Shape: Orb
Characteristics: Lights on object

Orange spheres over centrral Florida.

I was driving into my neighborhood last night at approximately 9:30, and was preparing to park my car in my garage, when I glanced up in the southeast sky at my roofline and noticed three glowing, pulsating, orange orbs flying slowly in a northwesterly direction in a large triangular formation. As far as size perspective goes--they were the size of a typical pearl bead held at arm's length.

I estimate they were traveling at a distance of about 10-15,000 feet and were completely silent and their airspeed was approximately 200-300 mph. The objects’ color never changed.

I watched the objects break formation when they were directly overhead and begin moving in a somewhat straight line, as they gradually disappeared into the northwest sky.

This part of the sighting lasted about 2-3 minutes.

I then saw another of these objects traveling along the same flight path, approaching from the southeast sky, at which point, I ran inside my house to get my wife outside as a witness to what I was observing.

We both watched this object through my binoculars as it headed in a straight line into the northwest sky. Same estimated airspeed, size and distance as the other objects.

Also, at this point, I noticed several neighbors down the street from us, standing in their front yards, watching these objects.

We were both getting ready to go inside the house, when we noticed yet another of the objects, same size, flight path, speed, color, etc., traveling in exactly the same direction as the previously sighted objects.

We watched as it gradually disappeared in the northwest sky.

I estimate the total length of this sighting to be approximately 10-15 minutes.

We waited outside for another 10 minutes but nothing else unusual was sighted.

We are approximately 10 miles from Sanford-Orlando International Airport and are very used to seeing various types of commercial and sometimes military aircraft over the last 17 years. I have also piloted single engine aircraft and have never seen anything like these objects before tonight.

I had went to my back porch to make sure the door was locked when I saw a huge bright light in the sky. I thought at first it was a star, but I kept staring for some reason and I realized it was brighter than any star out there. I kept watching and I saw that it was moving in upward and downard motions but side to side. Then little lights shot out from it going straight down at an angle.

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object

I was driving on I-4 headed east when I seen what I thought was an airplane because I was close to the Sanford Airport. As I got closer to the St. Johns River, I noticed it wasn't moving, it had 5 white lights and two red lights and was triangular in shape it had a lower base on the shape that was rectangular this is where the two red lights were. I'm doing bout 80 and I thought maybe it was just a tower so I'm looking, but I can't see any pod or any kind of stand that this thing is standing on; these are just lights on a triangle shape with a rectangular shape on the bottom of the triangle.

As I'm driving, I passed a guy who's parked in the median with no hazards on or anything. I realized later that he may have seen it too and was stopped and filming it, or taking a picture, and all the traffic that was behind me slowed way down, so I know they seen it too. The aircraft hovered above the St. Johns River from the time I was in Sanford by the zoo all the way till I couldn't see it anymore which was passed DeBary.

Again the craft was triangular in shape with a rectangle base there were two red lights on the rectangular base and there were five lights 3 on each point of the triangular shape and two white ones about Midway down the sides of the craft. It was about the length of half a football field it was about thirty feet above the St. Johns River and about 10 feet away from the bridge the object was clearly visible the lights were so bright I can't even explain it. My windows were down and there was zero large engine noise.

My car and maybe 5 other cars behind me but absolutely no airplane, helicopter, nor drone sound was heard.

Perfect circle of yellow dots of light in the sky at approx 4pm that appeared then disappeared.

On Saturday, December 19, 2015, between 3 and 4 pm, I witnessed a circle of clear, distinct yellow lights appear in the sky and then disappear. I would explain it as if a light switch had been turned on and then off in the sky. The shape was a perfect circle.

I witnessed it from my vehicle, windows down. My two children were with me but did not see it, as it only appeared for a brief moment. We were pulling out of the Sanford Municipal Cemetery on 46A facing north - the object was in the northeastern sky. The sky was grey overcast yet clear with mild temperature. It was distinct.

My immediate thought was that the sight was strange, - I had never seen something like that in the sky, but then I dismissed the lights as having been either a firework or blown transformer. I mentioned to my 9-yr-old son that I saw the lights and he asked me if it looked like a "ferris wheel" - which is exactly what it reminded me of - but it didn't have "spokes&qu! ot; in the center, just the perfect dots of light. He said he had read about ferris wheel UFO's - I dismissed his statement. I am submitting this report today (approx 2wks later) because I have yet to figure out what I saw. There were no fireworks sounds at the time - and the circle was perfect, not oval, slanted, etc. I had never seen anything like this before.

4 Orange Orbs Over Sanford, Florida, near airport.

I live in Sanford, FL, just around the corner of the Sanford airport. Last night, I saw 4 orange/red glowing orbs above my house starting around 10:00pm. The first one I saw while I was driving home. It was hovering over a commercial building.

As soon as I stopped my car to see it better, it started moving north. I got back in my car and drove home (about 4 blocks away). I was watching it the whole time. It eventually just vanished in an area that it didn't make sense for it to vanish.

As soon as I got home, I had to change the windshield wipers on my car. I was telling my husband about what I just saw because it reminded me of a story our neighbor told us when we lived in Casselberry, FL, last year. She had seen 3 orange lights flying above our house. I had also seen similar lights when I lived in Pompano Beach, FL, about 2 years ago.

As soon as I was done telling him what I’d just seen, another orange light came from over the horizon. It flew in the same flight path as the first one I saw. We sat there and watched it the whole time (roughly 5-7 minutes). It flew right over our heads and did not make a sound. It seemed to be the size of a small car about 1,000 feet off the ground. It disappeared right as we heard a jet from the airport taking off.

About 20 minutes later, as we were finishing replacing my windshield wipers, another orange light appeared, again in the same flight path as the other 2. We watched that one appear over the horizon, and when it was about halfway through the path the other 2 had taken, yet another one appeared and flew the same path. Right around the same place that the other 2 disappeared, so did these two. It almost seems like they were going into an invisible mothership or something. Because they weren't high enough to be hidden by clouds, and they weren't far enough to fall out of our range of sight.

They were a dull orange (similar to metal halide street lights) around the front and sides. The rear had red lights and some type of glowing red “antenna” could be visible form the back. When they were directly above us, you could see a very faint white light alternating flashes from the front and back. A couple hours later, helicopters flew nearby, you could hear them and see their flashing lights distinctly. Whatever the orange/red lights are, they are definitely not planes or helicopters.

I've checked the box at the bottom about being contacted by an investigator. These lights seem to be coming up near us for the last 3 years. Coincidentally, that's how long I've known my husband.

Last year, after the neighbor told us she saw lights over our street, my husband told me about how he feels like he's been abducted when he was a kid. He showed me a place on his foot that appeared after his apparent abduction (I think he said it was about 20 years ago). Anyway, this spot on his foot looks like a drill hole and has not healed since he got it.

I'm wondering if there may be some correlation between his alleged abduction and the fact that it seems like I'm seeing UFOs all the time now. Please contact me by email. Thanks!

Bright white light as if it was a large aircraft/plane but was soon to land. (There is an airport nearby but the reason this caught my attn is because there were no red or blue flashing lights identifying it as a plane. Just the white light as if a headlight and it was the brightest i've ever seen. I seen this object go through a very dense cloud as if it were fog but as it was exiting out, it was gone completely disappeared.

V shaped Three Bright Lights in triangular formation; flying and hovering low in the sky. Three witnesses.

Date: March 19, 2014. Location: Sanford Fl. While driving West on Rt. 46.

Approximately 9:45 pm while driving, I saw a bright light flying towards us. It was low in the sky and the brightness and a flash caught our attention.

I brought it to the attention of my grandsons. Curiously we were in awe and then it appeared as two bright headlights, it looked like a “flying car”. We laughed and likened it to a scene from Harry Potter; but then we realized what we were seeing was not normal.

The lights were too bright and too low in the sky—just above the tree line and no sound was heard. As we drove closer, and we became diagonal we saw it was hovering and that it was a triangular object with three lights. Unable to stop because of traffic we proceeded in the absolute knowledge that this was a UFO an aircraft that we were unfamiliar with. No flashing red or green lights, no sound and way too close for comfort.

Since there are three witnesses, I would like to add my grandson proposed that it may have been three objects flying in formation.

Description of the backgrounds of the observers: Woman age 56; retired Counselor. Two grandsons age 14 & 16.

My wife and I saw a large fireball in sky on Christmas day just west of Sanford Florida over the Rock Springs run state preserve.

My wife and I were driving west on state road 46 just north of Rock Springs Run state preserve. When off in the distance towards the west between a few dark clouds I noticed a bright orange glowing fireball. We watched the the fireball for about a minute and I noticed small little orange sparks flying off the back but there was no trail or vapor trail or anything following behind the glowing object. Also it seemed that the fireball wasnt growing in size nor was it getting smaller. As we continued west I pulled my phone out and tried to get a few pictures of it. I have one but the picture is very grainy.

After a few more minutes we went behind some trees and as we cane out on the other side the fireball had vanished.

There were 3-5 low flying slow moving spherical objects moving horizontally across the sky on Halloween night, 8:40-9:00 PM 2013

I was driving my friend home from my apartment when I looked at the sky and saw 3 balloon-like objects floating extremely low over the sky. I knew they weren't balloons though because 1) they glided sideways with ease, not erratically and 2) they never floated upwards, just sideways and 3) there were no strings attached, as there would be had a child lost their balloon.

They moved slowly, and I only got a short glimpse of them as I was driving, but they were light grey and entirely unmarked.

Another interesting aspect was at first I only saw 2 of them, but then one of the spheres seemed to split in half, and a third craft became visible, and then a fourth which also appeared from the same area as the other craft. It looked like a fifth was emerging when I lost sight of them. I don't know if I was just at a strange angle and saw them simply moving out from behind another craft or if they actually merged out from one another. I couldn't get an image, unfortunately, of anything as traffic was somewhat chaotic and my eyes had to be on the road.

I'm not entirely sure what I saw at all,

First two were side by side approx. 100 feet apart. 30 seconds later two more appeared coming from same direction about 30 seconds apart, moving from east to west. One minute later two more were spotted moving same direction. There was no discernible shape to the objects but the strange bright orange glow to them. They seemed to disappear as soon as they passed overhead at least as high as most air traffic travels.

Bright round lights appear in sky after the launch of the Delta IV Rocket @ Cape Canaveral.

August 7, 2013

Dear Peter,

This evening at 8:30 PM, I was outside getting my horses in for the evening when I looked up in the sky and saw the curly white contrail of what I thought may have been a rocket launch from Cape Canaveral. I live in Sanford, Florida, and as the crow flies about 40 miles from The Cape.

I have a good view of any rocket launch and have viewed multiple shuttle launches right from my yard. I was not happy that I had missed a launch--which later this evening I did confirm was a Delta IV rocket. This time of year, 8:30 in the evening is still daylight and hot!

As I was looking at the curly contrail, I noticed a VERY bright round light to the left of the contrail. It was not moving. It was not an airplane or helicopter. I am in the path of the airplanes coming and going from Sanford Airport. – so believe me, I know what an airplane looks like. No stars were out yet.

As I was focusing on the bright round light, a line of smaller white lights appeared to the right of the large rou! nd light. It happened so quickly. I am not sure if there were 4 or 6 round lights and I could not determine if the lights were parallel to the large white light horizontally or vertically.

For a brief moment, it seemed like I was looking at the lights through a sheer white curtain and what appeared to be an outline was visible which made me think that the smaller lights were actually part of a triangle shaped object. It was brief and the thought or shape was no longer there but the lights remained.

As I was watching the lights, I called my friend and neighbor to come outside to look too. As it turned out, she was in her car driving to the grocery store about 3 miles away. She was watching the white contrails and also saw the large white light but she could not see any more than 2 of the smaller lights.

We stayed on the phone with each other for about 5 minutes watching the lights and the contrail. Oddly enough, above the contrail was a very strange cloud that appeared to be brightly illuminated as if there were lights inside or above where we could not see. There were very few other clouds in the sky and none of them had the brilliance of this one.

For all of this time, the large round light never moved nor did the line of smaller lights. There were small planes off in the distance with their lights clearly visible. As the white contrail began to disperse, a few of the smaller lights disappeared. The bright cloud was still very bright. The last 3 lights remaining were the large round white light and two of the smaller lights to the right of that large light. Then all 3 lights just faded out. The contrails faded and the very bright “cloud” was the last to disperse after I would say about 10 minutes




NUFORC Note:

There was a rocket launch out of Cape Canaveral at 20:29 hrs. on this date. However, that does not appear to explain the other sighting, described by the witness. PD

Low flying low speed stealth military aircraft

Strange low flying (500ft?) low speed (>250mph) aircraft that was lit up with white lights in a triangular shape, (The aircraft may have not been triangular itself but just the pattern of white lights) it also had a red flashing light in the center.

There was also 1 set (2 lights) of white search lights in the forward position (Its how me and my mate first noticed it as it briefly (2-3secs) lit up the area where we were standing, then proceeded to scan the ground ahead of it.

It was NOT extraterrestrial as it was powered by a jet engine, but a very very quite one, as we could hear nothing till it was right on top of us, then you could hear the faint sound of its propulsion.

It was most definitely a stealth military aircraft either a stealth drone or possibly the F-35 as they are testing the air-force version in Maine right now. And the town meeting my friends father attended (East Wilton) he was told they were going to be flying very low around 500ft so this could very well be that.

I must say that till the point when i actually heard the jet wash (very quite even right on top of us) I thought it could be something really interesting but i have no doubt it was military...

Either way a very cool site to see! If its lights were not on we would have never have noticed it!

Low flying round object with white circulating lights

I was driving down SR-46, near the I-4 overpass and witnessed a large slow moving object flying extremely low above me. It was round and had bright circulating white lights.

I came to a stop at the red light, at the intersection where Don Pablo’s is located. I was able to look up and get a really good look at this object. I could not believe how low to the ground it was.

As it moved, the object itself was slowly rotating, while the circulating lights seemed to chase each other around the object.

The light turned green and I had to go with the flow of traffic, so I lost sight of it as it was now behind me.

However, once I reached my destination, about a mile up the road, I saw the object again. It was still moving at the same pace.

I stood in the parking lot and watched it for a few seconds until it was out of sight again. I did not hear any noise from the object.

Huge Whitish light

I was outside with my dog and noticed a very big whitish color light to the West go across the sky from North to South. I called my husband to come have a look and see if he could see anything. No sooner had he got outside, when it happened again, in the exact same direction. We stayed outside with the outside lights off and saw it happen again 6 more times over an 8-10 minute time frame.

Then it appeared from the South, went in a direction to the North, stopped stationary for a couple of minutes, then seemed to turn and shoot off back to the South. It was approximately the size of the moon, quite close and at first we thought it may be some type of spotlight until we saw there was no beam emitting from it, it was just a hugh solid light, whitish in color and moving at a medium fast speed.

Triangular hovering projecting bright lights over lake near bridge

We missed our turn onto Lake Mary Boulevard and were driving down State road 46 heading east.

We saw some lights in the distance that seemed to be really clumped together to be street lights and much too bright. When we drove by the lights were attached to a object that was hovering over the lake.

The object was making no noise. The object was triangular shaped and projecting bright lights from each point and each side for a total of six lights.

When we finished crossing the bridge, we turned around to get back on course and check out the object again. Not even a minute later we crossed the area again and there was no signs of the object, but there was a dark haze like cloud in the general area of the object.

Round orange fast moving object in straight line with glowing tail.

I was sitting in my hot tub with my father. He quickly reacted and told me to look. He thought it was an airplane. But this craft was not a plane. It was right below the moon. It was going very, very fast in a straight line. It flew much faster than an airplane. It was a bright glowing orange circle. And behind it was a trail of flames or something. I don’t know if maybe because it was going so fast it left a trail of light. It lasted a total of about five seconds.

Cloud forms out of nowhere: 3 objects fly out of it!

I was leaning against my car while, looking up at the sky. I was facing north. At a distance (I’m not good at gagging distances,) I noticed a small pin point of what appeared to be a cloud. It was tiny. This “dot” of cloud began expanding rapidly. It caught my attention and, while still staring at it, I called my mother. I pointed to the cloud and asked her to look at it, that the cloud was forming a fast pace. She did and, was as amazed as I was. A cloud formed out of nowhere! All of a sudden an object of some sort flew out of the cloud. My mother wondered if it was a bird. I responded: must be a huge bird, to be visible at that distance.

At that moment another object flew out of the same cloud that had just formed. My mother then ran inside grabbed her binoculars and watched as a third object flew out. The first object was heading towards us, the second headed East and the third, headed west. The objects disappeared in front of our eyes. They just banished. My mother told me that through the binoculars, the objects seemed to be metallic, triangular and looked reddish. With the naked eye, it appeared round. It was a sunny afternoon with no clouds. The color she noted could have been the sun’s reflection.

I should note that a few years ago, my then fiancée and I witnessed a huge fireball that was traveling at a great speed. It stopped midair as it changed colors. It got real bright, brilliant colors and “imploded.” It did not fly away or fall. It just imploded within itself. It left a thin trail of vapor or smoke. I am glad both times I’ve witnessed these occurrences, I have not being alone. Otherwise I would doubt my sanity.

We were having a fire and saw a very bright cone shaped light above the tree line, it stayed for a minute or so then vanished.

It was Saturday, September 19th, around 7:45pm. I was sitting around a fire with my Husband, Brother in law, 2 nieces(ages 2 and 5), my daughter(age 2 1/2)and 2 other friends when my brother in law saw a bright light in the sky. He said, "Whats that"?! We all turned to look and saw a very bright light hovering above the tree line. It was almost like a giant spotlight in the sky that was triangular in shape. It stayed there for about a minute or 2 then slowly started to fade/drop? It just disappeared.

There was nothing around for sound other then the crackling of the fire. No sounds of any type of air craft, just that one bright light. It reminded me of a movie, I was almost expecting to see a cow raise up or something.

We attempted to take photos with 2 different cameras. One camera cought only darkness and the other is so filled with orbs its hard to see anything. We all truly feel we saw something very unusual. Wheather its a UFO or not is to be determined by you but we all know what we saw and it ws something I will never forget.

Large, low, slow moving black triangular object with mulitple lights

Between 8 and 9 pm on March 13, 2009, I along with the other witness spotted a triangular shaped craft hovering over a cemetery in Sanford Florida. We were traveling west bound on a two-lane road, roughly 40 miles per hour. We looked out of the drivers side window and noticed the object. It had multiple lights, probably around 5 or 6. The majority of the lights were white but there was also one or two red ones located somewhere from the middle to the rear of the object. At first we thought it was a plane, especially since there is a small airport located nearby, but it appeared to be stationary. It was also extremely low but we were unable to hear any noise as we passed. I couldn’t say exactly how far off the ground it was, but the height was equivalent to an extremely tall oak tree.

Now as we were both passing, we both started to comment on the object at the same time. We both noticed how low it was and how it appeared to be hovering or moving at an extremely slow speed. First instinct was that it was just a plane on it’s way to the airport, but the speed, height, and sound just didn’t add up to the normal sightings of planes in that area. Then the thought was that it was possibly some kind of stationary tower, such as a cell phone. So once we passed the object, we decided to do a u-turn and go back and get a second look. We had trouble finding a good place to do this and finally just slammed the breaks on and turned into the other lane. By the time we got back to the spot where it was located, the object was gone.

In hind sight, I wish we had just slammed the breaks on the moment we saw it. There were no cars directly behind us and I don’t recall any other cars passing in the other lane at that same moment. I’m also surprised at how I felt. There was no uneasiness or frightened feeling. Just a feeling of confusion. The area in which it was spotted is also heavily populated. In the same direction as the object was traveling, there is an apartment complex and a large high school, which are both located on the other side of the cemetery. I would be extremely surprised if no one else saw it.

glowing sphere in sky

On July 5, 2008, at about 9:52 PM, three family members and I saw a glowing sphere with a cyclical light move over Pocomoke Sound from east to west for 1 to 2 miles (We were facing north). It was viewed at an angle of about 60 degrees and was about the size of a pea held at arms length and it was difficult to judge size or distance.

We watched it with a set of binoculars and the only thing visible was the sphere shape with no other appendages. When it was even with us, it turned to the north moving away from us and disappeared within a minute into a cloud.

The color was iridescent changing from pink to red to orange and either had a beam that swept horizontally or a light source that moved around the belt of the object.

There was no sound. The movement was steady. We watched the object for about two minutes total. There may have been other witnesses at a nearby campground.

i looked straight up into early morining sky before sun up when i noticed what looked like a moving star . after standing still for a second i noticed movement heading due east . standing there trying to figure out what airline service heads due east out over the ocean i then watched 2 other fast moving blicking lite odjects racing toward same area as the u.f.o was heading. one was coming from the north, and the other one was coming from north west both heading to same point in the sky as i looked back toward the u.f.o i noticed it started to get much dimmer just like watching space shuttle as it disappears from sight leaving orbit. after the object was no longer visible it still took the other blinking (red/green) objects about another minute to get to same area in sky and watched them circle the area over and over for about 2-3 minutes then head farther east out of my view toward the east coast i then came inside family still asleep , i look on google to find first place on the web to report this sorry if i did this wrong

Two oblong objects flying in formation near Orlando International Airport

I was driving home from the office about 10:45am on 09/14/07. I was on SR-417 when I happened to glace out and up out of the drivers side window. I saw two objects flying in formation, one slightly behind and to the left of the lead craft.

It was clear with scattered cumulous clouds. What struck me most was the brightness of the craft, brighter and whiter than the clouds they flew in front of.

At first I thought it was two jetliners, but I know that commercial liners do not fly in formation and also because there were no visible vertical stabilizers on these two craft. Plus their shape appeared to be like a 2x4 board.

They were flying north to south, but could not estimate the altitude, although they seemed quit big and close.

About this time there was a Southwest Airliner heading north out of Orlando International Airport. The objects were bigger than the commercial jet. They seemed to pass over the airliner, but I can't say if they were actually over the plane, it just looked like it from my perspective.

As the airliner passed, the trailing object did a 90 degree turn to the right although I couldn't actually see it turn, it just went from going south to going west without any sign of deceleration, but it did seem to pick up speed and move rapidly away.

By the time I got my vehicle pulled over to the side of the road the objects were gone.

Silver sphere to the right of a cloud seen midday morning in area of Sanford Florida Feb 28, 2007.

My daughter and I were enroute to a shopping mall midday February 28, 2007. As I looked up in the sky I saw a silver looking object which could have been mistaken as a giant beach ball. It was almost certainly the color that would blend with the sky but distinct enough that you know that it was not "part of the sky". It was a very clear day and somewhat average temperature. It appeared to be partially hid behind a cloud. At the top of the sphere was an illumination of some kind that was almost white in color. It appeared to be a reflection of the sun. As quickly as I could ask my daughter if she saw it and then turned back to look at it again - it was gone. She was driving and I was in the passenger seat. I have never been so surprised in my life. My daughter thought it was a weather balloon. However; I do not think that it was a weather balloon at all. Thanks for allowing this to be entered.

Low flying triangle with 3 dull white lights in corners and a 4th larger dull white light in the center, viewed for less than 1 minute

I was out walking the family dog on a somewhat cold but not a bitterly cold evening. It was dark except for the street lights over the middle of the village street. I was walking due east under a slightly overcast sky and I could only see only the brightest stars through the very thin layer of clouds.

I heard a dull but not at all loud, low frequency roar directly over my head and immediately thought it was a DC-9 or similar size commercial jet coming into the local MBS airport about 25 miles away. Small commercial airliners sometimes make a landing approach depending upon the strength and direction of the wind and can be seen overhead. However, as I looked up I realized I wasn't looking at the bottom of an airliner.

A triangular shaped object with 3 round glowing white lights and a fourth larger one in the middle of the 3 was about 1000 to 2000 ft off the ground. It moved quickly in a perfectly straight line without any wobble or side-side movement at about 100-200 mph (this was also hard to estimate). The interesting feature was that the entire bottom was lighter than the darker sky and there was small red light that hung down slightly at the "back" of the object that hung down and was glowing steadily (not blinking). The center round white light had a second ring around it and it was bigger overall than the three other lights at the corner of the object.

I’ve made a computer sketch of the object--I didn't have camera, just taking the dog out for a walk.

We watched a large, rectangle object w/double green lights, moving fast from S/E, stopped, changed to red lights and proceeded N/W.

We had just finished feeding the horses and were enjoying the beautiful clear sky when we noticed a large rectangular/oblong UFO with double green lights down the sides and single lights at front and rear. It traveled silently from S/E to N/W at a very high speed, stopped suddenly, changed lights to red and moved on. One of our party was very frightened, so we were forced to leave before it went out of sight. We couldn't find it when we got back to the house. None of us have ever seen anything like this before and can't emagine what it could have been -- we told the two children with us that it was Santa's sleigh. (They didn't see the UFO, just we four adults.) Please tell me if anyone in this area sighted anything on that night?

Golden orange quarter moon shaped-object hovers at tree line for ten minutes before developing an orb and disappearing in Sanford, NC.

At approximately 10:05 pm my husband and I observed a quarter-moon shaped, golden object at the tree line due west from the front porch of our home. The object was shaped so much like the moon and was so close in size, too, that at first we thought it was just some sort of atmospheric condition causing an odd colored moon. It was sunset colored "golden orange." Then we realized that not only was the sky perfectly clear (we could see all of the stars; no clouds), but this "moon" was in the wrong position in the sky; it is always above the tree line and to the east at that time of night. We immediately began watching the object, discussing what it could be.

Over the course of 2-3 minutes, we both noted that the object began twinkling on the lower side, almost like some object lit with Christmas lights. The thought that it could be some sort of Christmas decoration entered our discussion, but our location is in the country in a wooded, secluded area; we cannot see any other houses from our home, and this object was not in a direction where any houses exist. Over the next few minutes, the entire object began dimming so that it was hard to see through the trees. It was almost as if clouds were passing over it and blocking it from view, even though there were no clouds anywhere; something seemed to be obstructing our view, and the object itself seemed to be changing positions.

We changed positions, trying to keep an eye on the object. It developed an orangey-red, fire colored orb over its top center area, and the entire object grew brighter momentarily. We almost called 911. We thought maybe there was a large fire in the woods. However, before we could do anything, the body of the object dimmed again. Over the next few minutes the orb grew smaller and smaller as if moving away from us. Then it just disappeared completely from sight.

There was a beeping sound that we noticed as soon as we’d gone outdoors, and this sound continued after the object disappeared. The beeping repetition and sound was similar to that of a house fire alarm, but it sounded, then paused for a few seconds, then sounded again, over and over. We’d never noticed that sound before the incident, and it stopped after a few hours. We’re not sure if it’s related or not, but since we both heard it, I thought we should mention it.

Background on us: I’m a published writer and photographer (and didn’t take photos!! I couldn’t seem to tear myself away long enough to get the camera), and I hold an Associate in the Arts. Currently I’m working toward a BA in English. My husband is a housing contractor. He also runs a small business building custom guitars.

Unusual lights in Sanford Florida

On July 29, 2006 at approximately 11:45 pm, I was sitting on the back porch of my house looking at the stars. Nothing unusual but then I noticed one was moving in unusual patterns and was flashing red light. It would hover without any movement then it would suddenly move in strange directions. It darted left, then right, then forward, then backward in random patterns. It even made half circles, full circles, and a figure 8. I called my family out to see it because I couldn't figure out what it was. It wasn't a plane because of the patterns and it wasn't a helicopter because it was so far up in the sky. This went on for about an hour until it faded in the distance. I called the local police and they said they had no other reports. I then noticed another one several miles away from the first one which was still visible. Finally I went out in front of the house and noted a third. Also while this was occuring, there were continuous flashes of white light which appeared to be closer to the ground. It was not raining and the skies were clear with no reports of thundstorms in the area.

The craft was traveling right above I4 approx. 50-60 mph without making any noise. The sky was quickly cluttered with planes and jets. As one jet approached the light, the light quickly accelerated and was out of sight in a matter of seconds.

Circular UFO with multi colored lights hovering with no sound.

This event occurred in August 2003 at a house my wife at the time and two of my kids were renting.

My wife and youngest daughter were at work and my youngest son and I were at the house. He was in his room playing video games. It was dusk and I happened to look out the kitchen window which was at the rear of two story house on first floor when I see multi-colored lights in a field about 350 feet away. I went out to overgrown field through a wooden gate and walked to within maybe 100 feet of craft. It was hovering at about 150 feet AGL and made no noise. The lights were multi colored and flashing. The craft seemed to me to be about 25 feet in diameter, circular and it being dusk was a dark color. I just stood there in amazement and felt like I was in a trance, definitely mesmerized by it.

I served 20 plus years in the Army and even time in Air cavalry unit so know what aircraft look like and this was no military or civilian craft I ever seen especially emitting no noise or sound. I was transfixed by this object and it seemed like I was out there in field for only 10 minutes but when I finally went into the house at least 45-60 minutes had elapsed. When I went back out awhile later craft was gone.

yellow orange ball of light traveling horizontally around 100-200 mph appx. 1000-2000 feet above tree top level, no red or green lights

It was perfectly clear last evening, I was traveling west by north west about 1/4 mile from my home. Through my windshield I noticed a bright orange/yellow light that at first glance I thought it was a star. Then I recognized that it was too big (about 3 times the size of (Venus or Jupiter) and too bright to be a star and that now looking through the drivers side window, it was moving west to east from the first position I saw it. After viewing the motion it appeared to be about 1000-2000 ft above treetop level and approximately due south 1/4 mile from my position. I then thought that it was the landing lights of a small airplane. It was very dark at the time and there is a small airport about 7 miles to the east of my home. As I turned right onto another road headed north I looked back through the right side of the car about (about 10 seconds from when I first saw it), and even though it had gone approximately 1 mile or so headed due east, the light had not gotten an dimmer. I then realized these were not landing lights, it did not change color or intensity, and otherwise the lights would have dimmed as they passed in the direction it was going. As best I could tell, I saw no red or green lights required for an aircraft, and that it was neither a small plane nor a helicopter.

After reading the Characteristic of Object section below, non really fit. It was a steady glowing yellow/orange color that was very bright.

cigar shaped crft with white light flashing from window to windows.

I just found this site, Im so glade to be able to report this.

My husband was stationed in Germany on leave from the military. We had taken the kids to a movie, and then pizza hut.

We were traveling up 331 I believe the.I reached for a cigarette and saw what I thought was a blimp. this was about 6:00, the sun had gone down. My husband military was all in avaition for 22 yrs. I questioned him about that "blimp" he said that is not a blimp..

The odd thing is was there were no other cars, or traffic. there is a Y in the road, at that time there was a little hotdog stand, the craft was hovering above it. The left side of the Y was 331, the right side took you to the shopping centers. the cigar shaped craft had windows, and they blinked one window at a time, when the back of the craft windows could be seen on the clouds.

As I said there was no other cars on that intersection. My husband backed the car across a 4 lanes in the road and parked the car in a Gulf gas station. the kids were asleep. My husband and I got out and stood at the front of the car. (remember that it was 6:pm. The next thing I remembered to check on the kids in the back seat.. To my surprise it was 10:00pm. I have no memories of talking to my husband, and he wasnt talking either. Both of us had no memories of being that late at night.

Still standing at the front of the car, we saw the craft shoot up in the sky very fast. When we got home, my husband called the FtBragg to see if anyone saw on radar.

I still have questions as to what we were doing in the hours between 6:00pm and 10:Pm its all just a blank.

UFO Sighting June/July 1972 I was leaving Sanford Florida heading to Orlando, Florida at 2 a.m. running normal speed of 45-50 mph when my car radio shut completely off, a minute later the headlights went off completely, a minute later the car shut off.

I coasted the car off the shoulder of the road. I looked to the right hand side of the road, but felt lightheaded and then that’s when I saw an object that looked like a spaceship spinning round and round, the most color I recognized was blue then I saw 2 objects that appeared to look like aliens. The objects came toward me and took me into the spaceship.

After that I don’t remember what happened. After gaining conscious they brought me back 10ft toward my car and I opened the door, got back in the car in a daze. I then started the car, the lights and radio came back on.

The aliens stood still for a while then they got back into the spaceship and it hovered directly over my car then they took off like a supersonic speed and I never saw anything li! ke it again.

About 20 years ago I touched and felt a small lump in my right thigh and I started associating that with the unknown experience from the UFO.

Currently I am having medical illness on the right side of my body. I have had all types of medical tests done, i.e. MRI, CAT scans, orthopedic, pain management and other types of medical treatment that does not alleviate the problem I experience daily.

Please help me identify if possibly something was physically done or inserted into my body while inside the UFO.
