Most Convincing UFO Sightings in Florida

Over time there has been an abnormally high number of UFO sightings in Florida. The State is definitely a hotbed for UFO activity; this could be due to it being the home of NASA Space Shuttle launches at Cape Canaveral.

Don’t forget that Florida forms one corner of the Bermuda triangle (the other two being from Bermuda and Puerto Rico). Does this make Florida one of the most likely places in the world to see a UFO? Many people would agree with this. You can choose to disregard the evidence or you can open your eyes to the possibility that there may in fact be things on this planet that cannot be explained.

1. Is there a Google cover up? Do they know something we don’t?

The first image appeared on Google maps. Not long after that the mysterious object was no longer there…. was this a Google cover up or just an image update? What was the unidentified object over this Florida housing community?

2. Pasco County Sheriff’s Office issue a report saying it is a balloon… does it look like a balloon to you?

This enormous, triangular shaped unidentified object with bright, glowing lights was captured on video over Florida. Several 911 calls later and the local sheriff’s office issue a statement saying that the object was a balloon. Make your own mind up by watching the video below: balloon or UFO?

This sighting is very similar to a triangular shaped object photographed in Belgium in 1989 (see photo below)

3. Edward Walters became infamous in 1987 when he claims a UFO tried to kidnap him!

Gulf Breeze in Florida became the focus point of the world in 1987 when a local man, Edward Walters, experienced a close encounter with a UFO. He was working late one evening when he saw a bright object through his window. Stepping outside to get a better view he claims that as soon as he saw the object it saw him. Grabbing his Polaroid he took the photo below however a blue beam of light shot down and raised him off the floor. Voices told him that they would not hurt him… then he woke up on the floor and the UFO had gone.

You can learn more about Ed’s unidentified Florida object encounter here, or you can watch the reconstruction video.

4. West Pensacola Florida, April 2007

A retired Marine Corps Pilot noticed a dark object in front of a the cloud formation when reviewing photographs on his PC. His wife had been taking photos of low flying planes and clouds when this UFO was accidentally snapped. The shape and colour of the object is not consistent with it being a cloud.

5. STS 48 NASA Mission

The famous NASA Space Shuttle Mission in September 1991 produced over 500 hours of video collected while Discovery orbited. The following footage is taken from a night flight over Florida. About 34 seconds into the video an object comes up near to the shuttle and then disappears.

6. Tallahassee Florida, September 2005

On the 9th of September 2005 in Tallahassee, Florida a man and his wife were led in the back of a truck stargazing when the man noticed what appeared to be a bright star. He focused in on it with his camera and soon realised that it was not a star and that is was in fact a UFO. Many experts have looked at this video and confirmed that it is authentic and that no special effects were used.

Unidentified Flying Object or Unidentified Florida Object. For those people who have experienced close encounters in the sunshine state they would probably argue that they both have the same meaning!

    That is some crazy videos!

    I believe in UFOs :) One needs to hurry up and crash in downtown DC already so the government can’t cover it up. Hmm ok maybe like London or Paris so the US military can rush over and cover it up.

  2. no wai gy Says:

    It looks like an exotic form of cloud to me. If an air-borne object really were at the altitude it appears to be in that picture then it would be so blurred as to be almost invisible due to the effects of parallax or whatever. Also google updates its images frequently, for some areas more than others.

  3. JJ STAE Says:

    the world’s largest airforce base, Hurlburt AFB, as well as Eglin AFB, are both in the panhandle of Florida. I believe many people get confused with their planes and consider them to be of the extraterrestrial kind.

    My friend and I witnessed a UFO sighting in the Lutz, Florida area about a month ago . We told a few people but didn’t think more about it until the recent sightings in Phoenix and St. Augustine which is three hours away by car.What we witnessed at around 10pm that evening was bright lights in a triangular pattern that appeared and dissappeared quickly it caught our attention and we later talked to some teenagers in the neighborhood that witnessed this unusual occurance . I am now convinced it was a real UFO sighting it was very fast moving yet it seemed to hover before it moved to another location it didn’t actually move but seemed to disappear and reappear in another location it happened within seconds and then it was gone .I look for the lights but haven’t seen them again since. I have never seen anything like this!!!!!!

  6. Kim Ford Says:

    WOW. I was out walking my dog at around 5:45 this am. and saw a perfectly triangular light formation. It was stationary, then VERY quickly (faster than anything I have ever seen) descended toward the horizon. I also saw random single flashes of white light in the same area. I really had never witnessed anything like this before. Just for the heck of it, I googled “recent Florida UFO sightings” and saw the Lutz video. It freaked me out! Nearly identicle to what I saw, with one exception. I did not see the 4th red light. However, the formation I saw seemed to be much farther away than in the video. I live in Trinity, about 10 minutes NW of Lutz.

  7. RJM (New Tampa, FL) Says:

    WOW…. I live in New Tampa, FL - and since the beginning of May I’ve had an extreme urge to look up the the skys. I’ve always been interested in the unknown; but lately it’s been a stronger feeling. I did see, what I believe to be, an UFO - about 5 or 6 years ago near the Massachussetts/New Hampshire state line; ever since I’ve been hoping to see and/or capture something on film.

    Anyways, tonight I couldn’t help myself and just online to see if anyone else has seen anything recent around here - or has felt anything….. And, I read your paragraph…. WOW… Anyways, at least I’m not alone!

    On 05/31/2008 me and two friends were sitting outside in some sitback reclining foldup chairs looking up at the sky. I initially saw a white flashing light that looked to be really high up in the air, about 10 minutes later, my friend and I saw this same blinking light travel from one side of the horizon to the other in a matter a few seconds..then about 15 minutes later I saw a bright light traveling very quickly just above the tree line to the south of us..then about 5 minutes after that we all saw a green trangle shaped object moving at a high rate of speed about 500-1000 feet up that appeared to stop on a dime then shot sraight up through the atmosphere..this all occurred from about 11pm to about midnight..needless to say it was very strange that evening and I am aware that the space shuttle blasted off that night, but it was hours after the shuttle lifted off, and to my knowledge the shuttle doesn’t fly in those type of patterns..something is definatley going on over the skies of LUTZ, Fl, in the past few months..

    Okay, on 7/8/08, in tallahassee, fl, my sister and I saw one exactly like the one in the video that looks like the one from belgium. It was above the tree tops as we were drin=ving down Meridian Street. Perfect triangle with bright, bright lights and some smaller red lights. Hovered, no noise, didn’t move. We looked at it for about 1 minute but had to keep going because traffic came behind us. We were not frightened at the moment because we were mesmerized be the sight, trying to figure out in our minds what we were seeing at that moment. We pulled into a parking lot to discuss. Did you see what I saw questions. We went down the list of somethings it could have been. Nothing seemed to fit the picture we saw. No noise, perfect triangle, bright lights, and it hovered. I am left not knowing what I saw. Is there some reasonable explaination. There is no army base in tallahassee. Also My sister drove back to the sight to see if she could find an explanation. It was about 15 minutes later and dnothing was there.

    Share your UFO Experiences with us, or get an inside look at THE ROSWELL EXHIBIT on our ROSWELL BLOG! http://thebroganmuseum.wordpress.com

    The Brogan Museum poses the question, “Do You Believe?”

    In a society overrun with extraterrestrial movies, novels, and video games, have UFO sightings only become fodder for science fiction, or is there any basis of truth in sightings or experiences with the extraterrestrial?

    The Brogan Museum, in association with Origins Museum Institute, delves into the mystery of one of the most controversial and highly publicized claims of a UFO crash with the opening of THE ROSWELL EXHIBIT.

    The exhibit lands in Tallahassee on Saturday, August 30, 2008 and will take off Thursday, January 8, 2009.

    i saw a ufo in weymouth, england. i was with my brother and he saw it as well. it moved very fast and had a white light that flashed slowly which later turned red before dissapearing. it also moved very fast from what looked like close to the ground and back up in the air. 20 mins later on the horizon of the sea we saw what looked initialy like a plane which was getting closer but from the one light it gradualy split into 5 and back into 1 light again, i dont know if thats connected to the first incident but they were both very intereseting. i think it would be ignorant to believe theres no such thing as aliens, specialy aliens supieriour to us.

    I truly believe fl is indeed a hotbed for ufo activity. In feb 2003 a couple co workers and I (worked at the now closed blue note cafe in jupiter, fl) just got done with our shift at about 1am. We were out back taking our cigarrette break, looking at the cloudless, starry sky. We saw what we first thought was a shooting star. It looked high up, almost as high as a jet. We kept watching it (facing east, not even 1 mile from the beach… object was moving n to s). When it reached the point almost directly over our heads, it took a sudden and SHARP turn to the ssw, and increased speed all in the same instant. It was like its path was drawn with a protractor… that’s how sharp the turn was. At this point, me and my 2 buddies were amazed. It kept up pace/direction for about 10 more seconds before it took another sharp turn to the south. We had to step back as it traveled s, the buildings were blocking the view. Before it got out of sight, it pulled off a move that looked like a “Z” movement and dissapeared to the east. That move alone had to be no longer than 2 seconds. As for people who say that could be a military craft… no plane could move like that. Period. Keep your eyes on the sky… I have been…. danthemfman@gmail.com
