SIGHTING: CAPE CORAL, FL (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"I was out about 9:00 pm, as always, looking at the stars and airplanes and whatever. To my west, maybe 5-8 miles away, I saw a blinking red light that I first thought was a plane. It was bigger, though, and it seemed to be stationary. As soon as I realized it wasn't moving, it dropped straight down, its motion resembling an elevator. Not a fall, not an acceleration, but a steady direct descent. Took about ten seconds and fell behind the tree line. No sounds al all. Pretty spooky. I decided it was an "unusual aerial phenomenon" rather than a UFO. Coincidentally, a few days later the Air Force changed their policy and encouraged pilots and others to report "unexplained aerial phenomenon." Pretty cool."
