Report from MUFON:
Date of event: May 24, 2010
Location of event: Pennsylvania, USA
"I felt compelled to report what I saw last night. I was going to report anyway, but I wanted to read the last 20 reports to MUFON first. I was looking for anything that matched what I had seen. A witness in England (who had similar sighting) said sighting was at 2:30 AM. That would be 9:30 PM in the USA. I do a lot of star gazing on clear nights, and felt last night would be eventful.
I looked out a northeast-facing window and saw a yellowish, white, star-like object moving horizontally going from south to north. I thought it is probably a satellite, the ISS, or Space Shuttle. However, upon going outside with my binoculars in hand, I then witnessed at least 10 other such objects within the next 1/2 hour!
The first few went east to north. Then one came from the west going north. I then observed one coming from the southeast, which merged with what I thought were just stars! It was that one that convinced me that what I was seeing was not ordinary. After it merged, it became stationary. It seemed like there were a lot of stars in arc formations as well.
Like I said, I look up a lot at night, and I'm familiar with star positions. I didn't see anything that resembled a missile like the Great Britain witness did, but I found that report to be very close to what I saw, and not that much time difference either. I began watching the sky 1 hour later, close enough I think. We may have been watching the same display on opposite sides of the Atlantic. Oh, I should add that these objects were really high up. At the level of stars it seemed.
They moved at a somewhat normal speed, like airplanes, but definitely not airplanes. No blinking lights whatsoever. Just whitish star-like objects that could be seen with the naked eye. This all took place between 10:30 and 11:00 PM. Normal air traffic was unusually light last night. One other oddity during the event was that the song birds, that are nesting right now, were chirping very softly. This is not usual for them.
I live in the woods, and am surrounded by trees and all sorts of wildlife. I'm very familiar with their habits. Anyway, there was nothing normal about what I saw last night. My son and I witnessed one of these on 5/9/10, but I dismissed it as a satellite. Now I feel we may have seen more that night, but we went in to watch a movie.
I really feel like those who are staying indoors at night are missing the greatest show on Earth! I always knew it wasn't the circus. So long for now."

Couple see low-flying unknown in Florida
Report from MUFON:
Date of event: May 16, 2010
Location of event: Florida, USA
"My husband and I were out for a short walk after dinner in our neighborhood, when we both stopped in the middle of our conversation. We both looked up and saw this circle of light moving slowly across the sky. Obviously we believed it was some sort of airplane, and so we both stopped to take a listen.
All we could hear was the buzzing noises of an air conditioner. We live right beside the Air Force base. We know the differences in the noises of an airplane. My husband has also first hand experience because he works on aircraft.
To conclude my story I had to add that information so that its understood that both of us have never encountered anything of this sort. The "aircraft" was low, hovering above the tree tops, almost looked like the brightest star in the sky. This object appeared to be roughly 300 feet above the tree tops.
We never heard a noise of an aircraft engine, and then it disappeared shortly after a car drove past. I personally don't know what to make of this considering I truly never believed in this sort of thing. After this experience I'd truly love some real answers.
I only wished I had a camera/mini DVD. Thank you for taking the time to read my post."

Witnesses in Kentucky see multiple unknown objects
Report from MUFON:
Date of event: May 15, 2010
Location of event: Fort Wright, Kentucky
"I am hoping someone else saw what we did this Saturday night. I was at a birthday party, and around 10:30 PM, we were all on the front porch of my friend's house in Ft. Wright, Kentucky. Someone there pointed, I think it was to the southwest, and we saw hundreds of pulsating lights going across the sky.
It looked like a plane would look at night, but there were hundreds of them. It was a cloudy night, so they were definitely traveling under the clouds, pretty slowly across the horizon. We lost sight after they traveled behind the tree line across the street. After the majority of them were behind the tree line, we would see a couple here and there trailing behind.
I have never in my life seen anything like that before. I have been searching on the Internet to see if I can find anything on it, but have not had any luck. I e-mailed the Cincinnati Observatory, but have not gotten a response from them either. I know I am not crazy. Everyone else at the party saw it too. If anyone has any answers, please let me know. It is driving me nuts. I tried to take a video with my phone, but it did not work.
Thanks for your time."

Witness chases UFO in both Ohio and Pennsylvania
Report from MUFON:
Date of event: May 14, 2010
Location of event: Pennsylvania and Ohio, USA
"At approximately 10:30 PM, I noticed a bright, star-like object that was stationary in the sky to the northwest of Sharon, PA. From where I saw it, this would put it over Trumbull County, OH. At first thought, I was wondering if it might be Venus, but it seemed larger than that, and I know Venus does not appear in the northwest sky.
In addition, the light had an occasional flicker as if it was a star. I thought, though, that the flicker might be coming from twigs at the tops of trees that may not have been readily apparent in the night sky from where I was seeing the light. I became curious and decided to try to get a better view, so I headed west from where I was to downtown Sharon, PA.
Once in the downtown area, the object appeared as what can be described in terms of size and brightness as an outside incandescent porch light of a house that would be about 4/10 of a mile away from where I was. The lighted object appeared just above the tree line at the top of the West Hill area of Sharon, PA. At this point, I knew what I was seeing was something unusual, because it was low in the sky and there were no blinking red, white, or blue lights surrounding it that would indicate some type of commercial or private human aircraft.
I decided I wanted to get a better look, so I proceeded through the downtown area and out the northwest side of town in the direction of the light. I had lost sight of the object for a little while until I got to an area of high ground on route 846 where the light would occasionally disappear behind trees on the west side of the highway.
By now the light seemed that it was more above me rather than so much in the distance and appeared to have a more yellowish cast. I continued to search for more open space, so I turned left at the next main intersection and headed west into Trumbull County, OH.
There are a lot of wooded areas in the area I was in, so I was searching for more open farm fields well into Trumbull County to get a better view. There were large gaps between visuals of the light because of the trees, but managed to get my best view while on route 305 about 2 to 3 miles west of Hartford Center. However, by this time the object had moved quite a distance to the northwest heading in a northwesterly direction.
At this point, although still quite large and yet at a greater distance away, the object appeared more yellowish-orange and more pulsating. I continued to pursue while on route 305 until lost sight of object behind the distant trees to the northwest of route 11. This is where I ended my chase believing that I was not going to catch up to it, and it was already about 11 PM."

Multiple unknowns seen near Salem, Oregon
Report from MUFON:
Date of event: May 14, 2010
Location of event: Salem, Oregon
"I was driving from Eugene to Portland on I-5, and was just south of Salem when I noticed a bright light in the sky. I assumed it was a planet at first, but then I realized it appeared larger as I continued to drive in its direction. As far as I could tell it was not moving. As I got closer, it appeared to be a glowing, white sphere that was hovering completely still directly above the freeway.
I soon saw 2 more in the distance, one of which was visible to the west until I was almost in Portland. A few miles after the first white one, I saw a dimmer, red sphere with a smaller flashing red light on one side. Then in the distance I saw what I thought was an airplane, but as I got closer I realized it wasn't moving either.
I saw two red lights and one green one. The green one slowly disappeared, and I realized the object appeared to be rotating very slowly.
I know that the McMinnville UFO Festival is going on right now, so I wondered if this had anything to do with that, but these seemed to be quite large and high in the sky, not something an amateur prankster could pull off. I haven't been able to find any mention of any aircraft or any other floating or flying objects around Salem tonight in the news or on Twitter. Hundreds of people must have seen them.
They were very clearly visible from the road. Does anyone know what they were?"

Two witness unknown object hovering near Charlotte, North Carolina
Report from MUFON:
Date of event: April 30, 2010
Location of event: Charlotte, North Carolina
"We were sitting in the living room of a third story condo watching a movie around 9:30 PM. The sliding glass windows face south towards a man-made lake.
I suddenly noticed a bright light in the sky that didn't seem to be moving like an airplane or helicopter. It hovered about 500 feet above the center of Charlotte, and did not move. There were no flashing lights like an airplane or helicopter would have. It had an orangish light eminating from it.
Two unidentified craft suddenly moved toward it and one hovered close for about 3 minutes and the other moved away and was determined to be some sort of airplane. The second craft finally moved away from the unidentified object in the sky.
We sat and watched in awe as the unidentified object slowly started moving up in the sky about 100 feet up and towards the condo. It sat there for another five minutes before going back to the spot it was in to begin with. The light never changed shape, color, or brightness.
The owner of the condo suggested that we take pictures of the unidentified craft. We took several pictures of the things in the sky. One of the witnesses stayed out on the deck and watched as yet another unidentified craft approach the first craft.
It also hovered near for a few minutes before it too, took off in the opposite direction. Around 10:00 PM, we noticed that the object in the sky started to diminish in size and brightness, until it disappeared in the night sky.
We looked at the pictures and question whether or not anyone could make out anything in them, but we are still enclosing them just in case."

Bright light was UFO says East Texan
"NACOGDOCHES, TX (KTRE) - A Nacogdoches man gazed into Sunday night's sky, and was transfixed by mysterious bright shapes. He says he saw a UFO. "It was just sitting up there, just bouncing up and down, bouncing up and down, moving back and fourth," said Albert Davis.
He was driving home from work with his family when bright, flickering lights caught his eye. "We knew it wasn't from here on Earth because...we've seen jets flying around and I don't think [it was] jets," said Davis. "We knew jets couldn't make the moves it was making..."

Three witness UFO over Columbus, Ohio
Report from MUFON:
Date of event: April 18, 2010
Location of event: Columbus, Ohio
"My son, a friend of his and I were driving west on E. Hudson Ave in Columbus, OH, at about 11:30 PM, after dropping off one of their friends. I was driving about 25 mph on Hudson on the way to catch the I-71N entrance ramp. Several blocks east of 71, I first saw lights in the sky, very low, about 1,000 ft up and slightly to the south of us - it was not directly overhead, but was in front of us and off to the south side and was surprisingly low.
It caught my attention because there seemed something odd about it, and as our truck moved forward, I realized the lights remained stationary. My rational mind tried to make sense of it - helicopter - no, plane - no, blimp - no? It was silent, and there were no blades or wings.
The object had a very large, white light that was self-contained (meaning it did not radiate light), and then an odd or kind of random configuration of red lights. The red lights were not "in order" e.g. not in a line, circular, or discernible pattern and the white light was very vivid, about the size of the full moon when seen in a clear night sky (except this was very close).
None of the lights were blinking - they were all steady. I said to the passengers (son in front passenger seat, and friend in back seat of F-150 truck), "Do you guys SEE that?" My son said yes, he had already been looking at it, and the friend in the back then moved over to the south side of the seat to look out the window, and said yes, he saw it, too.
We were kind of gob smacked and I said "What the hell IS that?" and came to a dead stop in the street. We all looked up and over at it as it continued to remain stationary. Thankfully no one rear ended me when I stopped, but I don't believe there were any other cars or people on the street, although we really don't remember.
We watched it for 10 or 15 seconds, and then I immediately pulled into a gravel parking lot on the north side of the street that was directly opposite of where we were stopped. The night was pretty balmy, so the two front windows were down. My son leaned far out of the passenger window, kind of sitting on the ledge facing south, so he could see.
The friend could see it from the driver's side backseat window on the south side of the truck, and I could clearly see it from the driver's side. I heard no sound whatsoever, although my son and his friend (in their teens) said they heard an almost imperceptible hum. My hearing has lost some of the highs and lows, so I am not surprised that it seemed silent to me, and I trust their hearing more than mine.
We continued to watch it hover for another minute or so, and then it began to move east (the direction we had just come from) in a straight line at an incredibly slow speed. It was just creeping along at such a slow pace that we were able to watch it for another 20 seconds or so. None of us are sure whether it moved out of our line of vision below a tree line or something, or if it just disappeared.
Regardless, we watched it until it was no longer there. We don't really know how it went away. When were stopped in the street and before we moved to the parking lot, while we were watching it my son blurted out, "Who are they looking for?" in an alarmed voice. I was struck by this because that thought never occurred to me, that "they" or "it" were looking for someone, and when we discussed it later, my son did not remember saying this.
The three of us were just stunned - "What was it? What was it?" We discussed the fact that it could be some a military thing, but if so, it was unlike anything in our experience and was not conventional. We all thought it was a definite UFO, in that we know we saw it, and it remained unidentifiable to us.
It was very difficult to get any sense of the shape of the craft because the ambient light and the white light made it difficult to see beyond the white light to what it was attached to, or what was behind it. To me it can best be described as lights with a kind of dark mass behind them. My son has the sense that it looked more like an odd kind of plane than anything else, because he thinks there was a long, front edge similar to a plane when viewed from the front, wing-tip to wing-tip. He does NOT believe it was a plane, though, and neither do his friend or I.
We all agree it was an unidentified object, either an unknown military craft using reverse technology, or an alien craft. It was not triangular, spherical, oblong, and it was also not a helicopter, plane or blimp.
The three of us have no idea what it was or whether anyone else saw it. When we drove home, we all talked about it but could not ID it. The only other odd thing that happened was after we dropped of the first friend and BEFORE the sighting, my son, his other friend and I were driving in the truck and there was a very uneasy vibe in the truck.
Then my son said "Tonight is a weird night - let's just get the hell home." I knew immediately what he meant - we were all quiet, and no one was talking and things just felt off, just before he made that statement.
I said, "Yes, that's what we're doing," and then on the way, about 2 minutes later, we had this experience. I do believe my son has had previous encounters, and the fact that he was alarmed about the craft looking for someone makes me think that if it was an alien craft, it has something to do specifically with him and that his friend and I were along for the ride."

Low flying objects seen in Texas
Report from MUFON:
Date of event: April 8, 2010
Location of event: Texas, USA
I was coming back home from college in my car, on the 83 highway, late at night. My mother called to see when I was going to arrive, and I answered her call from my cell phone. I was on the passenger seat at this time, while a friend drove me home. My mother was upset I was coming home late, so I ignored what she was saying to me, and instead looked out the windshield at a slight angle towards the driver's side.

In the sky, across from Alvarez Rd (in between Rio Grande, TX and Roma, TX), I saw a bright white light, a perfect sphere. My first reaction was: "Oh my God! What's that?
"Oh my God. it’s moving..." While the driver still drove at 55 -60 mph, I kept track of the object for a few seconds.
The object was NOT far up in the sky, but instead it seemed to be pretty low to the ground. I saw it moving down towards the ground as if it were going to land. It moved downward in the shape of an arc, a movement I believe no airplane or helicopter do when they plan to land.
Anyhow, I do not know if the object landed, because I lost sight of it once it got too low to the ground because of trees covering the view. I noticed there was a house near where the object was, but there may be more than just one. The driver did not see what I saw, but I wanted to ask people around the area where I saw this object if they had seen something similar to what I saw, but I was too scared of doing that for fear of being called crazy.
What made me first notice the object was its perfect sphere-shaped bright-white glow. When I first saw it, I didn't think anything of it; until I saw it was actually moving downward as if to land. I thought it could be perhaps a UFO because of the way it moved downward, forming an arc path.
During the sighting I felt in disbelieve; it was very unexpected, because I was not looking at the sky to find strange things, but yet there it was in plain sight. While still on the phone with my mother, I told her what I had seen: the bright, white light shaped as a sphere.
After the sighting when I got home, I asked myself what it could have been and started considering possibilities, yet I could not find an explanation for it. So I arrived at one conclusion: an Unidentified Flying Object... apparently about to land.

I was coming back home from college in my car, on the 83 highway, late at night. My mother called to see when I was going to arrive, and I answered her call from my cell phone. I was on the passenger seat at this time, while a friend drove me home. My mother was upset I was coming home late, so I ignored what she was saying to me, and instead looked out the windshield at a slight angle towards the driver's side.Image left: Witness depiction.

Huge, object with four lights seen speeding in California skies
Report from MUFON:
Date of event: April 9, 2010
Location of event: near San Francisco, California
"I went outside for a smoke at around 1:10 AM this morning. I was looking at the stars facing southwest, when something caught my eye. I quickly looked over, and in 1-2 seconds I saw 4 lights moving at an incredible speed past the roof of my house. I quickly ran around to the side of the house to see what it was.
For the next 2-4 seconds I clearly saw 3 lights forming a triangle speeding across the sky directly south. There was also a light right in the middle of all 3. There was a large distance between the lights, because at the speed they were moving, they stayed in perfect unison probably 5-6 miles apart from each other.
I'm not sure whether or not these were rim lights to some large craft, but it seems unlikely since the distance between them stayed in a perfect triangle. If this is the case, the craft must have been absolutely huge. The speed of this object was approximately (and I'm guessing here) 10-15x faster than the airplanes I observed in the sky over the San Francisco Bay Area during the minutes after the sighting. I can't stress enough that this thing was moving INCREDIBLY FAST!
The night sky during the event was very hazy, with the lights from San Francisco making it hard to see the stars. I lost sight of the object in the haze traveling southward. The lights also appeared to be speeding up. For the past year, I lived outside the city, and saw many shooting stars during the night and early morning. I am absolutely certain that these lights were not shooting stars. I hope this report is of use to someone.
Cheers,
Stuartb"

Multiple, unknown lights seen over Pennsylvania
Report from MUFON:
Date of event: April 3, 2010
Location of event: Pennsylvania, USA
"I was standing on the steps of my back porch when I saw these five-seven lights moving very fast. The color was kind of orange at first. That must have been because they came through the low, scattered cloud cover and the lights from town shining up hindered the glow. Whatever they were, they were moving very fast.
They were not in formation until they started to get out of the viewing area that I could see. They then formed a V-formation, but all I could see was just three of them when they formed up. The objects were going due north on the east side of Clarion, again they were moving very fast.
I just cannot believe what I saw. This is the second time I have seen lights in the skies over Clarion, PA. I'm 60 years old and lived in the country all my life and looked at the stars and airplanes at night and haven't seen anything.
In the last six months this is the second time. What on God's earth is going on?"

Two witnesses see two separate unknowns in Colorado
Report from MUFON:
Date of event: April 7, 2010
Location of event: Colorado, USA
"I stepped outside at approximately 2:00 AM to smoke and saw a bright light hovering or slowly moving in my direction. It was not shining a light, but more like illuminating itself about 30 ft above a neighbors house. It took about 2 minutes to get closer and as it did, I called my younger sister which also witnessed the craft.
We could tell it was not a helicopter or anything like that because we were so close we could not see propellers or hear any noise. It was just hovering, and then slowly moved on until we lost sight of it. We also noticed another bright light about 10 ft above an apartment across the street which seemed to be just hovering, and then 2 more crafts appeared no higher than the street lights at the corner of our block.
We recorded this one on our camera phone. The light above the apartment seemed to just disappear. We witnessed these craft for about 10 minutes or more. We can assure you it was no plane, helicopter, or anything like that. We were so close that we could tell it wasn't anything of our military, the news, or from the airport.
When first seeing this light I couldn't believe it. I wasn't sure if I was seeing a UFO or not until it got closer and then that's when I knew for sure. I am now a firm believer and no one can change my mind. I know what I saw and no one can tell me different."

Multiple, unknown objects seen over Breckenridge, Texas
Report from MUFON:
Date of event: March 31, 2010
Location of event: Breckenridge, Texas
"My spouse and I saw some strange lights south-southeast of Breckenridge, Texas, at 8:30 PM this evening. The lights were in the direction of Eastland but possibly further south.
I spent the last hour before dusk planting beans and peas in our plowed field. I had just finished for the day and was standing at the NE corner of the field, with a clear 360 degree view of the sky. I was observing a few stars barely discernible above me, when something made me look to my south.
Image left: Witness depiction.
Suddenly a bright white-orange light appeared, then 4 more next to (east of) it. The four came on all at once. They all blinked off at the same time. These lights were approximately 10 degrees above the southern horizon. The lights only appeared for a few seconds each time.
I ran to the house, yelling for my husband to "Come quick, UFOs!" (I didn't know what they were at the time, still don't). I grabbed my binoculars and by the time we got to the field, the lights were gone, but as we stood there, a light appeared, then 3 more in a loose triangle formation.
They all blinked out at the same time, then slightly further east they all appeared again. Each time they blinked out, they would appear a bit further east until I could no longer see them because of the tree line."

UFO photographs - Salem, Massachusetts, July 16, 1952
This photograph was taken by Shell Apert, a USCG seaman, on July 16, 1952 when he saw four bright lights in formation over Salem, Massachusetts. When he first saw the objects he called another Guardsman to see the lights, but in those few seconds the lights had become dimmer. When they brightened again, he quickly took a single photograph through the window of the office. This photograph was investigated by Project Blue Book and was considered “unexplained”.

Mulitple witnesses sees unknown lights over Stephenville, Texas
Report from MUFON:
Date of event: March 22, 2010
Location of event: Stephenville, Texas
"I was driving down US 67 into Stephenville. We were staying the night in the area to visit Tarleton State the next day. This was my first trip to the area, and I was with two passengers. I jokingly looked at the sky and said, "Of course we have to see a UFO in this one horse town."
All three of us looked up and saw 6 bright, orange lights that looked like street lamps high in the sky. The lights turned off one by one rapidly. My friend tried to get out his camera but it was too late as the last light had gone out.
The light caught our eye because it was right above us. When we noticed it, we knew it wasn't anything we had seen before. I was thinking it could be a radio antenna, but it never came back on. The object was stationary."

Four pulsating lights witnessed in rural Texas
Report from MUFON:
Date of event: March 3, 2010
Location of event: Palo Pinto County, Texas
"I was coming out of an oilfield lease in rural Palo Pinto county, a few miles to the east of the Hohertz road area. I spotted 4 large lights pulsing in the night sky ahead of my truck.
They were about 1/4 of a mile away and maybe 300 ft. above the ground. I continued to travel in the direction of the lights, but they disappeared. There were no signs of any aircraft in the area. About a week earlier I had seen something similar, but this time the lights, whatever they were, were much closer.
I've been working nights my whole life. There is something strange going on out there lately. This is something I have never seen before until just recently. I've seen about everything you could see in the night sky and could explain most of it, but not this."

Flickering objects gather the attention of witnesses in North Carolina
Report from MUFON:
Date of event: March 19, 2010
Location of event: Banner Elk, North Carolina
"Three of my friends and I decided to go star gazing on top of a mountain in Banner Elk, NC. It was exceptionally clear. We took 2 cars, 2 of my friends were in another car. They drove to the spot before me and my other friend arrived. I got a text from them around 2:00 AM, saying they had seen a UFO. We quickly got to them, but they said it had disappeared. They said it hovered above the skyline and quickly disappeared.
I was curious so I looked everywhere I could to find something similar to what they described. They described it as red, green, and white flashes of light. All of a sudden, on my right hand side, I noticed something flashing, much brighter than all the other stars. It also flashed red, green, and white light. It stayed stationary for approximately 20 minutes before going into a pattern.
We then noticed 2 more, side by side, close to the star Betelgeuse, following the same pattern of movement, and they had the same flashing lights. Eventually the original one I spotted began to drop below the mountain, and then bobbed up and down, still visible. It then disappeared. The other two objects began to get more faint like they were farther away. Then to the far left of me, one much closer appeared out of nowhere, also with the same pattern and colors.
Then out of nowhere it disappeared. The only two that were left were the two closest to Betelgeuse. We sat and watched until approximately 4:30 AM."

Bright light moving quietly over Arizona
Report from MUFON:
Date of event: March 19, 2010
Location of event: Arizona, USA
"While watching for satellites on my back patio, I saw a bright light moving from the northwest to southeast direction. There was no sound at all, and it looked to be descending.
Suddenly it leveled off, and began a zig-zag motion, beginning to ascend to the northeast, and slowly disappear. I then saw a blue flash, and the UFO or whatever, was gone.
I have been fortunate to have seen a number of UFO over the years, from Maine to California. I usually report them to MUFON."

Multiple unknown objects seen over Florida
Report from MUFON:
Date of event: March 20, 2010
Location of event: Florida, USA
"Around 11:48 to 11:57 PM, EDT, I witnessed 10 - 12 red, sphere-like objects moving in an irregular line formulation. I was ready to close up my store when my brother called telling me excitedly that there were a group of bright objects within the sky. I went out to look at the scene and there were these objects, moving northwest from my initial point. My two fellow employees came out to see the objects, as did the last three customers we were helping.
On Taft St., nearby drivers stopped and got out of their cars to look at the objects. These objects were red with yellow on the bottom, at times blinking. There were no sounds being omitted from them, unlike when a jet airliner passes overhead.
My brother explained to me that he first saw the objects moving in a single file line, then breaking apart, still being somewhat behind one another. Upon seeing the objects, I began to run across the plaza parking lot, keeping my phone on so that I could get my brother's view from where he was. By the time I had crossed the end of the lo,t the last two objects began criss-crossing one another, never hitting one other.
Finally the very last one appeared to elevate into the atmosphere, becoming dimmer as it reached higher elevations. My coworker believed it was a meteor shower penetrating into the Earth's atmosphere; however, these objects were moving below low level clouds the entire time I was out there.
When I got home I immediately called the local Police of Pembroke Pines and Hollywood, to see whether anyone had already reported the sightings, which no one did. My brother saw the same with the remaining items, saying that they all had ascended into the atmosphere. For me this was the most amazing sight I've ever seen, for I've been interested in this subject since my years in middle school."
