Florida UFO Sightings and Experience Reports

In the fall of 2014, during one of the training runs, one of the pilots from our Carrier Group with the U.S.S. Theadore Roosevelt, captured an object with his aircraft mounted infrared camera. The camera tracked the craft using a senor that is mounted on a gimbal for range of movement. That's why the object in the video clip below is called "Gimbal". What you don't see in the video clip is that there are several smaller objects flying information behind the larger object, which is one that we had not seen before until this instance. That's why you hear the voice say, "There's a whole fleet of them!"

The object turns on it's axis without losing it's position. As someone who possesses a degree in aerospace engineering, I can honestly tell you, that's not how aircraft operate. But, I can tell you that this object was larger than the other objects we were used to seeing and many of us pilots watched the full length, higher resolution version of this clip when we got back to the ship.

As a final thought, I can tell you, as well any of the other pilots in our carrier group, that these objects followed our carrier group from the Summer of 2014 into March of 2015. In March, we were deployed to the Arabian Gulf and the objects were with us there as well. Lt. Ryan Graves, United States Navy Pilot

This sighting took place over a fifty minute period. In the footage, you can see a glowing disc, approximately nine feet in diameter, hovering just a few feet from my house over the ground. In the blink of an eye, the craft disappeared. I slowed down the footage at one point in the video clip to show how the craft just dematerialized, frame by frame. I never reported my sightings to the authorities over the years for fear of redicule and reprisals.

At approximately thirty-eight minutes into the experience, the craft began slowly moving away from my house and I decided to follow it in my car. The clip ends with me following the craft down I-95 South at a high rate of speed. I then filmed it hovering over an apartment complex as well as other residential areas and at one point it even hovered momentarily directly over Miami's International Airport. Yet, there was nothing about this on the news the next day!

As it came from behind a nearby tree into clearer view, we saw a brightly lit disc-shaped craft now moving very slowly towards us at what I estimate was about twenty miles per hour! As the craft flew past us at around 200 yards away, it was perfectly circular, about thirty to forty feet in diameter. It was glowed, bright white in color, with a hint of yellow. But, you could look directly at it without any eye strain.

It continuted moving silently toward Nubbin Slough where it came to a stop about 250 yards away. There, it hovered motionless over the levee. It started to descend and as it did, the disc dimmed and the craft became very dark except for two small square lights, one each side.

Though it was dark, we could still see the craft as there lot of light in the haze behind it from the well lit power plant located about fifteen miles away. Honestly, it looked like a vaudeville straw hat in the on-edge view.

As I watched it, I thought to myself, "This craft was not one of ours!" Just after I thought this, something happened and the next thing I knew we had turned to go back into the house!

We came back out a few minutes later to look for it and it was still visible. It appeared to be glowing over the levee about two miles down, past Nubbin toward the southeast and Indiantown. Again, we turned away with it still in view and went back into the house. Strangely, the clock read 9:45 PM. We immediately turned in for the night without saying a word and the next morning, neither of us mentioned the experience... Not a word!

NASA, the USAF and Martin-Marietta who built the Titan ll were all puzzled and just about scratching their heads in unison. After much huddling and discussion the intelligent determination was that we had other physical objects up there with our Gemini capsule. Total silence filled the launch control area. A few whispers were heard but nothing else. Then a brash young member of the team said the words that caused faces to turn to horror. I said, "What about UFOs?"

It was as if I had taken the Lords name in vain. The silence deepened as almost everyone present was staring at me. I felt like a child caught with his/her hand in the cookie jar. Cold stares came at me from the NASA Brass and USAF Officers. Actually, the only obvious answer was what I had so blatantly stated, they were UFOs! I slipped back into my assignments and remained a very interested and quiet observer.

ENTER THE MEN IN BLACK

Several hours after the objects departed their single orbit rendezvous with the Gemini capsule, a strange shadowy group of personnel arrived on scene. They were not faces of those who had worked at Cape Canaveral for any length of time. Old time Cape workers like myself knew a stranger when one showed up in our work area. Who they were no one seemed to know or if they did know did not identify them. I made an attempt to I.D. them and ran into a brick wall of silence. One thing was for certain, this group was at the Cape for no other reason other than the Gemini Titan mission and its guests.

A week or so later, I was talking to an old friend called Vince. He was a Pan American security guard at the Cape and got around to all launch complex areas. Vince told me that he transported several men to the Cape Canaveral Skid Strip (aircraft runway) at the time all the Gemini activity had taken place. He heard a younger man call another older person Colonel.

Vince had a good pair of eyes when he wore his glasses and told me they had top secret security clearance badges he had only seen once before. The badges appeared to have letters and a number on them. He thought that he had seen MG, MJ or M something with a number 12 marked on their badges. He observed them from across the car roof as they entered his security cruiser and did not observe the badges close up.

On one occassion, I met Dr. Wernher von Braun, who had worked on the project and who was visiting the Cape to do an on-site inspection of launch pad number five. While we had a brief moment alone, I ask him about the speculation I had heard regarding that particular Juno II test flight.

He looked at me with a bit of surprise, and said, "Young man, yes we had such an encounter with a power that appears advanced beyond ours here. Stronger than we have assumed and unknown to us where their base is located. I cannot say much more other than we are entering into a closer contact with these unknown powers and perhaps within a short time, a few months or so of time, we will be capable of saying more."
