SIGHTING: FORT MYERS, FLORIDA (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"My daughter and i just finished lighting a couple of fireworks off after the new year ball drop on tv. once finished, my daughter said, daddy look at that plane it looks weird. after looking at the object, i could tell right away this was not a plane, or normal object in the sky. i told my daughter to grab my phone as i continued to watch and study the object. it was shaped as a christmas ornament, with a small handle like object on the bottom. the object was glowing bright gold/copper/red/yellow combined, such as lava. once the object came to a halt, hovered, it simultaneously turned into a more of a bell shape, and a 2nd smaller object dispersed descending. once the 2nd object ejected the larger object went behind a cloud and disappeared without notice or sound. we could still see the color of the object behind the cloud, and then in the blink of an eye, it was gone. the secondary object was no where to be seen again the rest of the night. we noticed our cable boxes were turned off, which was strange as we watched the ball drop on tv and did not touch either of the boxes before or after the siting. my daughter was scared as can be. she would not allow me to leave her site, was worried something was going to happen to us. i initial thought how amazing this was, but then when i saw her reaction, it was time to sit down and explain to her exactly what happened and what we saw. fortunately, later on in the afternoon today, she feels much better, and has more questions and is intrigued about the experience, opposed to being afraid.
