Amazing UFO sighting filmed over Vero Beach, Florida 27-Jan-2015 + UPDATE

• Flares, get over it! You can see them being fired from a 45 degree angle.

  • First of all the first one was already there by the time they filmed it, so we couldn't see where it came from, but the second one seemed to just appear, I don't know what you saw, I didn't see it being "shot at an angle". Now it could have been dropped from a plane and just ignited in mid air, but it wasn't shot up at an angle, look again.

  • Wow this is so cool thanks for sharing it. Wished I was there. I have seen a few of these in my area. They are not shooting stars bcz they leave no trail and they disappear. Not flares either..a flare would have a different pattern

    • You saw this on January 27th I ask saw this on January 27th in deep south Texas towards the eastern sky in the direction of Florida geographically I was so amazed by it and it was like a reddish orangush ball of light that stay

  • .... this guy is crazy....

  • i saw the same light 6 months ago on hutchinson island moving slow to the south--it was far offshore--i was with my pup fishing it made a turn toward me--the sun had already set. it was approaching me a t a fast rate of speed--close to the surface and about 300 yards i saw two other lights turn on as it approached me--they were white --100 yards away lights went off and no noise was heard--same color orange bright light--was it a drone ? or something else

  • Definitely not ufo's, let's be adults here

    • U.F.O. stands for "Unidentified Flying Object". So... This thing, alien or not, is exactly that. An unknown object flying through the air.

  • Back in 1992 and had a similar experience , I was walking on the beach at dusk in India and thought that's funny there is 2 more small suns in the sky , they remained there and then just like air the wind they blew away !

• looked like flares to me but not clear enough to say aliens

  • Who ever doesn't believe these are flares are plain stupid I'm sorry.

    • Hahaha...yeah cause flares sit above see level and shine just as bright for five minutes. You're a douch buddy, Mr. Anonymous Douche ;)

      • flares do not move at a high speed sideways controlled- i thought at first they were boat flares-- until they started to move sideways--sorry--they are not flares

• Sorry guys these are flares they burn out at the end and the goof ball. talking way to weird for me

  • Show them the beauty of humanity....hahahaha...don't show them the middle east or the United states then :P

  • Careful who you're calling a douche lest you appear that way yourself.

    These lights look exactly like an illumination round fired from a large weapon platform such as a howitzer. Would a howitzer be firing out over the water? I don't know. Possibly for training or a rescue.

    The point is the way they burst in the sky with no smoke trail is consistent with an illumination round being fired (they leave no smoke trail while traveling into the sky) and bursting in the air (they are on a time fuse). The way they are lit within ~1min of each other and in a pattern next to each other's "threshold of illumination" is also consistent with a single weapon platform being used to fire both rounds consecutively. The flickering of the lights is consistent with the gentle flickering of an illumination round (I believe caused by the burning phosphorus or whatever chemical used).

    They are basically a burning chemical light on a fancy little parachute (similar to the cool little fireworks that do the same thing) so they float slowly to the ground, or in this case water, just like this video. They are fired at an altitude and with a timed fuse so that they aren't too high in the air to be effective but also so they go out before hitting the ground (sometimes they don't and can cause serious damage to people and property when they hit the ground). This is exactly what we see in the video here.

    The big fallacy here is comparing these to flares. A "traditional" flare is a more like a bottle rocket in that the propulsion element, or charge, is attached to the projectile so you get the trail of smoke you see in the movies when castaways are launching flares into the sky. The charge used to propel an illum round is fully exhausted, or burned, at the moment it is fired meaning that the smoke would only be around where it was fired from. Think of it as a bullet. A bullet does not leave a smoke trail the same way an illum round doesn't.

    • I replied to the wrong comment. Sorry for that, but my comment is still valid. Few other points to address because the comments here are so fantastically ignorant to how things actually work.

      "They move sideways so they can't be flares/must be a craft of some kind." Wrong. Flares and illumination type rounds like I've described above are known to move "sideways" on wind and air currents. This is completely normal and something you can test with a $1 firework.

      "They stay lit for like 10 minutes or way too long to be flares or illumination rounds of some kind." Wronger. An artillery fired illum round remains lit for approximately 2 minutes before going out suddenly. The lights in this video remain lit for approx. 2 minutes as they drift slowly lower towards the horizon and then extinguish suddenly. These lights appear and behave like an m485A2 (illum round) almost exactly.

      • Thanks, Artyvet! I timed the lights in this video. Each one lasts 3 minutes (almost exactly). The m485A2 lasts 120 seconds. Do you know which illumination round remains lit for 180 seconds? Also, no boat or plane was heard or seen according to observers using night vision goggles. If these are illumination rounds, what delivery method do you think it could have been? Finally, no reflection is seen on the water from the lights in the sky (at least in this video)--why would that be? Thanks for your help in figuring out these details!

    • Its Mohammuds Fiery Eyes !

    • finally a decent and informative description. thanks artyvet, sounds like you know what you're talking about. (hence the vet in your name)

• Their colour, variability in brightness, trajectory and time all point to flares. Any comment that smoke could not been seen is irrelevant considering the apparent distance and that no specifications as to the optical equipment available were given. It saddens me that a doctor has thrown out the use of empiricism and has replaced it with a belief system which appears to primarily benefit himself.

• The AN/PVS-7b Gen 3 night vision goggle so proudly and prominently stated in the comment section by one of the participants has a magnification of x1; that's it. It's sees as we see so in fact it has NO magnification at all. Given that the lights appear at or close to the horizon and when we use the formula for calculating distance - a 6' person standing on the shore is seeing the horizon approximately 3 miles away (Same person on a 100' tower so eye is 106' above sea level is seeing the horizon at a little over 12 nautical miles) - not seeing any smoke is not surprising. Failure to notice aircraft or water craft in the area does not discount the likelihood they were there. Their colour, variability in brightness, trajectory and time all point to flares. A bit more empirical work would be appreciated.

• I believe these are real. I have never seen one look like this, but have seen my fair share of both saucers and orbs. All up close. You naysayers, you do not have to believe. I have seen with my own eyes.

  • Years ago I was on I95 heading from St. Lucie County into Indian River County when I saw three objects in the sky form a triangle. The vehicles in front of me were slamming on their brakes and sitting in the middle of the highway watching these objects. Then they broke formation and sped off in different directions. I have been to many Blue Angels show and Air Shows...this was NOT an air show over I95. I don't know if this is real but I don't doubt it.

• This is exactly what me, my husband and two friends saw on December 14th at around 9:00 PM over Phoenix, AZ. To be more precise, we were in Chandler, AZ. I saw one object from the backyard where we were all gathering, but didnt pay much attention because one other friend was just leaving. I scorted her outside and when I came back, I thought about checking the object out again. A few minutes had passed, and when I went back there were FIVE golden/orange objects hovering on that same direction. I called out my husband and friends and they all saw it. We were staring at them for a few minutes, when they started disappearing one by one, like a flame that goes out smoothly, exactly like in this film. After the last one disappearead, everyone started doing their own things and I decided to stay and tried to communicate with them, something I had never done before. I concentrated and started saying (mentally) that I had seen them, that I know they are here, and that I really wanted them to come closer so I could see them again. It was a feeling of trust actually. While I was doing this, looking at that same direction, one light appeared out of nowhere almost above me, but this time it waslighter, whitish color. It got brighter. I called my friend again to come quicky, but in a few seconds, it desapperead the same way the others did, and he didn´t get to see it. In that same night, I posted this on MUFFOn´s site. Really amazing! I guess they heard me afterall.

  • I too have seen and believe. My issue is with the assertions made in this video; they are quick to jump to conclusions in this video with no investigation. To promote the idea that we are being visited means we must be vigilant in bringing forward evidence that it more likely than not, unexplainable except for the extraterrestrial answer. Belief does not negate our need to be rational and reasonable in our statements of fact.

• In what direction was the sun setting?
  Looks to me like a normal sunset being refracted around a low cloud.
  This is a quite common physical phenomena.

  • sir, i'm sure these people would know if they were looking at a sun. a sun doesn't just appear like that anyways and the sky around would still be blue. this was recorded at night.

    • in what direction was the sun setting? really? do you know what you've asked?

      • The sun sets on the west coast of Florida. I live in Vero Neach, it's on the east coast. That is in no way related to the sun. Very interesting!

      • This was over the Atlantic the sun sets in the west which was hours ago and behind them

    • Vero beach is east coast no sunset on the ocean

    • In the west....vero bch is on the east coast

  • couldnt be a sunset the sun sets on the west side of our town and rises on the east witch is our ocean

  • Well since we all know the Sun sets in the West, it couldn't have been the Sun, as Vero Beach is on the East coast of Florida. Not the Sun.

    • Thanks for the update.
      I live in the centre of England. The sun sets in the west here as well! What I did not know was the location of the sighting. I have seen an identical sunset due to refraction around low clouds on or below the horizon.
      I only mentioned it as a possibility in this case. Especially as the lights were dropping, and the sky was blue in some of the shots.
      In July 2012, I saw a saucer shaped craft above my house. It came out of a cloud and followed an aircraft which banked towards London Heathrow airport. The UFO went into another cloud leaving an oval hole.
      Just before the UFO first appeared I had been watching a yellow diamond shaped probe that was suspended below the cloud. I rushed in to fetch my camera, and as I raised it, the probe went back up into the cloud leaving a square shaped hole. The UFO was probably about 25 feet wide and was a brownish colour. Unfortunately my digital camera did not auto focus quickly, so I was unable to get any pictures.
      I have seen a similar smooth round craft on a video on the Internet. There were no obvious windows.

• Too bad there aren't a few more intelligent comments here adding to the debate. Anyway, the AN/PVS-7b Gen 3 night vision goggle so proudly and prominently stated in the comment section by one of the participants has a magnification of x1; that's it. It's sees as we see so in fact it has NO magnification at all.

• So people dont believe wherein the fact is the government is spending a lot of money from your tax for UFO research and why aiming to send people to Mars while the moon is there just waiting and its nearer?They have not yet investigated the entire moon surface.Is it becoz there are already creatures residing there?or maybe Apollo 18 mission is true?so many govt conspiracy when it comes to this matter..headache.hahahha!

  • yes the entire moon has been scanned, photographed, investigated, you name it.

    • Arent you done sticking your foot in your mouth.. we have to discover and explore earth let alone the moon.. where did you hear that? Fox News?!?

      • stop vomiting ridiculous comments. how long have you lived? i'm guessing 16 years. start reading books dude.
