Just the Facts?: Thursday Night Lights Over Florida -- Cat-Boy is Back -- Helping Hand


Thursday night 1-19-2012: Rash of UFO sightings in Florida (unedited raw reports)

Lake Worth 19:40, FL, US: My wife and I were driving northbound on I-95 when we sighted an orange flame-like circular orb just above the interstate street lights and the buildings in the distance to the WEST. At first it looked like it might have been just an antenna, but the light grew brighter and larger as we continued to look at it. Very quickly, we knew this was something strange we had never seen before. The light started to move slowly across the interstate and began to change shape. It started to resemble something like a missile or a comet that had a pronounced fire-like body and tail. As it made its way across the interstate, for a few moments I thought we had lost it, but immediately we could see the same shape as before, only now it was a very dim white outline in the sky. It looked like a cone-shaped comet with a long tail. I could not believe what we were seeing so I took out my cell phone to try and record it. It looked like it was moving very slow, but by the time my cell phone began to record, the light made its way across the interstate and was now EAST of I-95. Slowly it began to dim and get smaller, resembling a star. It looked like it stopped moving, so I put my phone down and stopped recording it. The weirdest thing is that the moment I put my phone down and looked up again, it was gone. When I tried to play back the video on my phone to see what it looked like, my phone said "OOPS! your camera will not open. Please try again later." and the video I recorded on my cell phone would not and still will not play despite rebooting it. Whatever we saw, I know it was something we had never ever seen before.

Lake Wales 19:38, FL, US: On January 19th, 2012 at 7:38 PM. s I came outside from the Walmart store which is located on the East edge of Lake Wales, I observed the following.
I observed an orange glowing disk shaped object (brighter and larger than Jupiter)in the sky east of my location. The object was seen over what are orange groves and the sky was clear with no obstructions. The object was travelling at a slow speed going south. The object stayed on a straight line. After a few minutes the object which was glowing orange blinked out and could not bee seen again. I am a retired Police officer/Deputy and I belonged to MUFON many years ago.

Deerfield Beach 19:40, FL, US: I was driving directly north bound on Powerline Rd. & was passing Sample Rd. at the time. I was just in or near Deerfield Beach as this object in the sky grabbed my attention. At 7:40pm EST I saw a what looked & was behaving like a missile like object going up into the sky. It caught my attention because it had just emitted an orange-yellow like emission leaving a trail behind it as it was ascending. It was far too high and large to be any flare light, so that question is answered. I kept my eye carefully on it as I saw it change its flight pattern & no longer gave the appearance that it was ascending. It then gave off a more faint yellowish-whitish glow afterwards. I no longer saw the object & its dark right now so cant say anything much about that. It may have become too faint after that point. The only reason why I decided to post here is because there are no active military bases any where near where I live. It did not make any sense. I wish there was a way to debunk this. Could a jet engine appear like this in the sky were it possibly had an engine explode & it still be able to maintain itself in flight? It was a very strong emission, enough to grab my attention while driving. Im not typically looking for things in the sky so just dont know what to make of it. Oh, there was a helicopter in the sky just afterwards, but this is also common for south Florida so wasnt sure if it was a coincidence or not..... As I type theres a helicopter with a search light shining down. A common happening. My feelings on this are more like I just want to know the answer since seeing something like this is not normal. I might see if I can reach the nearest airport (its a small private one in boca rating) to the incident & see if theres any logical explanation.

port saint lucie 19:44, FL, US: My friend and i were driving to go play basketball, about 7;40pm. We went around a corner and at the same time we noticed a street light sized/colored orb come into view. My friend and I watched the object change direction then turn from an orb into a larger light that seemed to flatten out. Its hard to explain. It almost looked like an airplane was flying sideways and had flames shooting out of the top of its two wings. The objects lights then dimmed down to a smaller orb and we then noticed a smoke trail coming from the back of the object and intermittant lights that would illuminate the smoke trail. The smoke trail disappeard and the object looked now like a star. It appeared to remain motionless for 1 min, pulsated about 3 times, then the light went back solid then it dissappeared. Initially I thought it was a Missile or rocket. I then thought it was an airplane on fire until the light dimmed down a just sat there. Also when i first noticed the light there was an airplane in the area and this object looked to be three times the size of the airplane. After about 20 seconds of watching the object we reached a stop light and the people in the car next to us were recording the object on their phone. I asked them what it was and they said they didnt know. We also drove by a soccer field and soccer players were observing the object as well. It was not a plane or a helicopter, and I dont believe it was a missile. Very interested in finding out what this was

New Port Richey 21:15, FL, US: I was leaving my church at approximately at 9:10 pm after our church band rehersal. I looked up at the west sky and saw several red lights in perfect formation across the sky. The lights were lined up stationary from south to north. I drove home less than three miles away, but did not see the lights from my front yard. I got back in my car and drove back to the church, but the lights were no longer there.

The red lights were lined up in this formation.

port saint lucie 19:30, FL, US: I was standing in my front yard in Port Saint Lucie, FL smoking a cigarette because I do not smoke in the house. A bright red-orange light caught my eye. I do not want to say which direction because I am not 100% sure if it was exactly south or south east. At first I thought it was an airplane but it did not appear to have lights like an airplane. Instead it seemed to be a glowing ball. After focusing on the object I noticed a red trail behind it like you would see on a comet. This made me think it was a meteor something similar. However, the most shocking thing happened that I find difficult to describe. A white light begin to shoot from the back end of the object. (I say back because it exited the object from the opposite end of the direction it was heading) The light shot from the object and traveled down the length of the red tail. It did not stem from the object like light from a flashlight stems from the flashlight itself but rather after it was shot from the object it traveled detached. The white light was shot a number of times from the red orb. The sight was very perplexing and almost fearful due to the unknowns surrounding what it could be. The white light then stopped and it was just the red orb and the red tail again. Shortly after the white light stopped, the red tail disappeared. The object traveled for a few seconds more then disappeared as if it went behind a cloud. I thought that it was clear skies but it was dark out so I cant say for sure. However, the stars could be seen near where the object disappeared so I watched and waited for it to reappear hoping to see the trail and the white light again. However, it never reappeared. It was like it disappeared or the light went out. I immediately went inside to check online for any events such as meteor showers happening but couldnt find anything so I went back outside to look at the sky for anything strange. Within a few minutes a police officer came down my street shining its spotlight. The officer talked to some kids walking down the street but I was too far away to catch what the conversation was about. The cop then continued on shining the spotlight from the car as if looking for someone. About 10 minutes later a helicopter flew by extremely low and it too had its spotlight on but it is unclear if the police and the red orb were related in any way. It all happened around 7:40 pm eastern standard time. I checked periodically throughout the night for anything in the sky but it is now 12:00 am and no cops or strange objects have been seen since.

St. Augustine 19:30, FL, US: Let me start by saying I am an occasional sky watcher. I have never seen anything that was unusual enough to feel led to report in my 35 years. This is my first time to this website.
I got off work at 7:15pm tonight. I went to the gas station across the street to fuel up. As I began to refuel I heard a jet flying by headed, what sounded like, in a southeast direction. It was fairly low by the sound of it, but I was unable to see due to the station canopy. I thought nothing of it because its not the first time Ive witnessed/heard night flights from the local military bases.
While driving home on I95 from Jacksonville to Saint Augustine I saw a stationary, bright light that I initially thought was a comet, due to what seemed like a small tail. I found it very off and out of place. I moved my head around to judge whether or not it was just a reflection from the windshield. It wasnt. I also adjusted my glasses to see if it was a smudge or reflection from them. As I was doing that, the "tail" brightened and I was able to tell that it was neither and it was definitely a beam of light, not very long, coming from the starlike light. It began moving slowly from west of I95 to east. As I got closer I could also see, in the beam, what appeared to be smoke or mist as it moves through a beam of light. I watched it move approximately 1 mile across the sky in an eastward direction over a two minute period. About 3/4 of the way through it started to slowly gain altitude as well and I could no longer distinguish the short beam. After the two minutes it hovered, with no beam for another minute. Just a bright, starlike light. Then it just disappeared. I thought OMG. WTH was that. Maybe it went behind clouds, but there were none. It was a cloudless night.
I considered that it could have been a helicopter with a searchlight, and it could be, but the altitude was way to high for the light to have done any good. It appeared to be at least 600 feet off the ground when I first spotted it and the beam was only visible for maybe 70 feet of that distance and I dont know that searchlights get three times brighter or have adjustable intensity settings. Maybe they do. The object wasnt using it for navigation purposes, because it was pointed in the opposite direction as it was heading.
I wasnt the only one to have seen it either because the traffic slowed down as it passed over the interstate and I noticed a few vehicles parked on the shoulder of I95 most likely watching the same thing.
I later realized the jet I heard earlier was headed in that direction and not towards the closest base. It would have been heading southwest if that were the case, not southeast.
As I got home I searched the sky for a bit and noticed Venus. Using that as a reference I would say the object was at least twice as big and bright as it is.
I mentioned at the beginning that I was an "occasional" sky watcher. I like looking for unexplained things but remain on the skeptical side. This is the first time Ive seen something that didnt seem it could have an easy explanation so I submitted this in hopes of getting a reasonable explanation. Let me know if you have one.

East of Parish florida, FL, US: We were sitting on the lanai which faces east and saw a bright orange light in the sky. I thought it was maybe a strange reflection through a cloud, Lori said look at the stars there are no clouds. She thought maybe a plane on fire. We noticed it was brighter than airplane lights. It appeared to be stationary. We were watching it and trying to figure it out when it became bright white. Then it suddenly went left and right and left again very fast and disappeared as we watched. This was somewhere east of Parish dont know the distance but guess pretty far and very bright. Thats when we said we just saw a UFO.

Of course, this story was reported as early as 2009, but the amazing aspect of it all is that Young Nong Youhui is still going strong with this genetic condition and his eyes have not turned dark.

French Women Live in Cave to Escape Electro-Magnetic Rays

Anne Cautain and Bernadette Touloumond suffer from hypersensitive reactions to electro-magnetic radiations. The symptoms include unbearable burning and terrible headaches, so bad that they couldn’t stand to live in the outside world anymore. After trying several other options, a cave has become their ultimate refuge. Anne and Bernadette’s cave is located outside the town of Beaumugne, on the edge of the Vercors plateau range, in France. To gain access to the area, a small ladder needs to be scaled while clinging to a rope. A sign reading “Mobile Phones Prohibited” is displayed on the hillside. 52-year-old Anne says, “I can’t take any sort of electro-magnetic waves, whatever they may be: Wi-Fi, mobile phones or high-tension wires.” She was the first to settle down in the cave, and is now spending her third winter there. - odditycentral.com
