SIGHTING: LEHIGH ACRES, FLORIDA (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"I let my dogs outside in the back yard. i followed them out, and turned off the back porch light so i could see the stars better. a few seconds later i noticed flashes of light above me streaking overhead. at first i thought it was shooting stars and i looked up attempting to focus on them. then i saw several streaking white orbs going fast in straight lines about 25 feet above me. i thought for a moment i was seeing headlights. but then they came from my right side. one at first and it went west to east, lit up white, but also kind of dull in light and seemed to make a white smokey trail behind it. it was not foggy outside to reflect light beams from another source. i had the feeling that i had startled something by turning off the light. they hesitated for maybe a second in front of me, about 10 feet up and 8 feet south of me. sort of vibrating in mid air. i definitely felt like they knew i was there and were sort of freaked out that i could see them. when they took off for the last time, they appeared to be riding air currents. they zipped one after the other around the side of my house and gone. my dog also noticed them and barked after they buzzed over her. then a bird started screeching in the direction the orbs went around my house as if they disturbed the bird. i don't know, maybe a phenomenon of reactions with gases in the atmosphere? it was weird af!!!
