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.

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.

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!!!!!!
May 5th, 2008 at 11:05 am
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.
May 27th, 2008 at 7:07 am
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

About a year and a half ago i was sitting on my back patio (in Lutz, FL) with my cats having my nightly cigarette when I noticed some bright lights in the shape of a very large triangle. One was white another green and they would change periodically. The next thing I know they were moving in rapid non-fluid movements. One would disappear, and another would show up in another part of the skyline. What was very strange was my two cats behavior. They were going nuts running around my screened in pool deck. I finally herded them inside and i proceeded to continue looking at the sky in disbelief of what I was witnessing. Suddenly all the lights disappeared, then i took notice of a single blue light that seemed much closer this time. In an instant it disappeared and I witnessed a triangular shaped object flying directly over my house traveling at a very high speed with no sound. For a slit second while it was over my house, I could see the bottom of what looked like a craft of some sort. Nothing that I have ever seen before. I ran inside to get another look at it from my front window and it seemed to have vanished in an instant. It was incredibly strange, and to this day I wish that someone else had been out there with me to witness it. A few months later a friend and I witnessed another account of strange lights in the sky.

It is probably no coincidence that Florida continues to be a known UFO hotspot given it’s relative closeness to Eglin and Hurlburt military bases. Of course the local population are aware of these bases and their close proximity which therefore can lead to experiences being interpreted as something which they are not. That said, amongst the hundreds if not thousands of sightings last year in this region a handful of the investigated cases continue to elude a feasible explanation…

Why is it that these unexplained occurrences drive so much into peoples minds. UFO’s have been around for many, many years and were even recorded as far back as Egyptian times depicted in some tomb drawings I have seen. Is it our desire to really understand whether we are isolated in this vast solar system or is it indicative of something else altogether?

I am awe struck. At about 9:30 PM tonight (3/22/09) my husband and I were driving east bound on Halls River Rd (Homosassa, Florida) and I saw something in the sky to the east that can only be described as a UFO(s).
There were two round, large, and distinct lights moving rapidly in the sky, far in the distance ahead of us. For a few seconds it was like watching two objects dance in a synchronized pattern; then they went in opposite directions. Each light was as distinct as the other; one went north and the other south.
The “sighting” lasted many seconds… maybe 45, maybe 60 seconds in all. I am 54 years old an it was a minute in time that will be forever engraved in my memory. Like, wow.

This morning at 5:45 am in the eastern sky beyond the sky over Auburndale, there was a bright light and I thought it was a plane. Except after 10 minutes the plane did not change position and was stationary. I looked at the “plane” in my binoculars and saw 5 bright white lights in a row with a glow around the outer edges. Still thinking it might be a plane, I watched it….it never moved. As dawn approached, the object was still there…At 6:20, the sun was coming up, the object was still in the same spot. Then as the sky became brighter it disappeared. I woke my husband up at 6 am to validate what I was seeing and he saw it too. My sighting lasted 35 minutes…I know what I saw was not a plane but I have no idea what it was…

I have read the 2 great books by Ed Walters of Gulf Breeze Florida and they were fantastic to say the least. All people in Florida should read them. As Mr Walters showed great courage in facing the UFOs near his house and later on a road. UFOs are here just read the books on UFOs and decide for your self as I have after reading 40 books on the great subject. Anyway cheers to all and good luck Mike Lettau in Toronto

well this is what i saw i think i was coming home from work one night and i look in the sky i was out of my car and i look toward the area of the sky oabove my house and it was a clear night there where stars in the sky but this one object i saw was not a star it flash but it was not an airplane because i saw an airplane go right by it it just sat there and it was low enough to distingush a star or an airplane because it look low enough for someone to climb a radio tower and see it but anyway it was just station there so i went in the house and then i came back to see if it was still there and it was it move very fast left to right and now that i think about it could have been an UFO because i came out the next night and it was a clear night but i didn’t see it there where stars out but it was in the location i first saw it i just don’t kno

yeah it was around 1994 because my son had just been born and we were not smoking in the house, i had stepped out on the back porch of our 3 story apartment in fort pierce florida to have a ciggarette, i had not been drinking nor using any type of illegal narcotics, well as i leaned on the railing i was looking at the stars out over the water of the east coast when i noticed a particular star that was a lot brighter than the rest, i think what drew my eyes to it besides how bright it was, was that it had just came to a stop and i caught the slight movement, because as i was thinking, did that star just move, it actually moved at a downward angle to the right and stopped, i totally was freaking out at that point and questioning my own eyes when it suddenly moved to the left and stopped, it sat completely still for a few more seconds and then just shot out at an upward right angle till it was completely gone, it was i guess kind of a zig zag pattern, i was just dumbfounded, the whole probably 10 to 15 seconds this was happening i was trying to yell for my girlfriend to come out and see this thing, but because she was inside upstairs with the baby and i was so locked on this thing and worried about losing site of it, she couldnt really hear me, it was so awesome to actually just see something like that, knowing that there was no known aircraft at that time that could move like that, at such speed and angles, and actually just come to a complete stop, up until that moment i could never say that i belived in any type of ufo’s, but i have to say that after seeing that i honestly do belive in them, and i put that on my moms grave, god rest her soul, love ya mom, i cant say there are little green men or anything, but i know what i saw and it was definately unidentifiable, i have always thought bout that night and wonderd if anybody else had seen anything like that, i decided to type in ufo off east coast of florida, i am totaly blown away, and i thought i was the only one, well i guess we belong to a very special kind of club, i just feel really bad and kind of sorry for those who have never seen anything like that, i can honestly say i have never seen anything like that since, but i damn sure wouldnt mind, well congradulations to the ones who have, and to the ones who lie and make stories up, all i can say is it sucks to be you, because at that moment that you actually see one, you get a feeling that is powerful, like chills all the way thru your body, i still feel good about what i saw that night, kind of like some of those chills never left me, well i live in minnesota now and havnt typed in to see if anybody has ever seen any around here or not, but im sure there probably has been at least a few sightings, well sorry this was so long but i know a lot more people will read this than i have ever told, and that was only about 5 people in the last 15 years, guess i didnt want people to think i was crazy, well to those who have seen, once again congradulations, to those who havnt, good luck

The sighting that I saw happen 01/29/10 at 1:45am. My mother and I were at the hospital because my little nephew was admitted. We were getting home and I was parking in the front of my house. I live in Hialeah,FL so my mother tells me what is that look at the sky and I was like at first what she saw two blinking objects right close to eachother. I see one of them and It was like nothing I have ever seen. Then all of the sudden the blinking stopped and then in a matter of seconds both of the objects re appeard side by side all the way to the other side of the sky. Meaning if you know that area in miami , hialeah the objects were moving our derection and in one second they changed there location heading to broward.. I know for a fact it was not an airplane because they can’t travel that fast also I don’t think they can fly so close to eachother. I know it sounds crazy but I can’t take that image out of my head I was even about to call our local news stations but I didn’t want to sound crazy. Now call me crazy it could be some army jets or some top secret shit that we are not aware of but I know this much whatever it was it was not from this planet. After that my mother and I spend almost the whole night looking out of our windows to see if we would see something else… Really freaky and now I can say that my opinion changes about life out there in the universe… Sounds crazy but if you have seen V the show I won’t be suprise some shit like that happens real soon… Hit me up if you want to talk about this at my email lopjor11@yahoo.com or my aim is yoyi511.. Sorry I am just a little freaked out and the subject seems to be interesting so thanks for hearing me out..

I live in Land O Lakes which is a few miles north of Lutz. My wife and myself have personally witnessed the lights mentioned in the fox video 3-4 different times. I didn’t realize that other people had noticed them until I just hit this website.
I have been perplexed over these set of lights for some time. They just hover in the sky, about a half mile up. The only explanation I could think of was apache helicopters sitting in formation doing some sort of police survelience. Maybe the local balloning club doing tethered night rides?
If you want to look for them:
At night (9-11PM), take I-275 north to exit 275. Junction with State Road 56 at the stoplight. They will be hovering about 1/2 mile up …above trees in the distance. Its almost like they are surveying the traffic below for speeders. I have also seen them behind the Land O Lakes recreation center as I am driving down Collier Pkwy.
You would swear that they are connected to a cell phone tower or something; however, they are much too high up.
In 1992, I lived in Hyde Park (Tampa, FL) and would often ride my bike down Bayshore Blvd at 3-4am. I worked in the Bar\Restaurant industry so I got off work really late and this was on my route home. I would sometimes see superfast, but absolutely quiet, aircraft/UFO heading south towards Macdill air force base. They were super fast and would only be overhead for about 1/2 second. All you saw was a very, very bright light flying over.
June 19th, 2010 at 6:27 pm
On may 5th 2010 (Cinco de Mayo), I was driving south on I-75 in Florida near Charlotte County and up ahead I saw these lights moving very slowly from left to right, then right to left over the interstate. Now its around 10:30 PM and I was driving home from a night school in Sarasota. Im also a student pilot flying helicopters. So when I saw the lights I was trying to guess what type of aircraft it was and what direction it was moving. Well I am about 3 miles away and it looked like a low flying chopper flying between 500-1,000 ft. When I got closer I was seeing white lights, red lights, green lights all strobeing but the aircraft was no spinning on an axis and the lights where everywhere ( which isnt standard on aircraft). About a mile away now it was sitting just above the meadian on the highway about 700ft and was hovering. So my first thought was a police chopper. Well as I got closer traffic started slowing down because other people were looking at it, and when I drove underneath it, it looked just like that Edward Walters picture on the top of this page. Now this thing was huge looked diamond like and was just sitting about the highway, and there was no sound at all to it. Its crazy because im on the flight line all the time and you can hear a helicopter miles away. I drove underneath this and it was quiet as can be. Im not saying this is a UFO but if anyone else has seen this around that time please post on here.
