Florida-02-19-09-I was at a secluded wilderness area on a private hunting club with two other witnesses. Location, St. Marks, Florida, northeast of Highway 98 along the St. Marks river.
At 8:22 PM, Feb.19th, 2009, we had just finished dinner when we walked outside and noticed a very bright object hovering at about 45 degrees, above the tree tops. At first I thought it may have been the bright runway lights on a commercial airliner going into Tallahassee Regional Airport, but realized that was at least 25 miles away.
This object remained almost stationary for a few minutes, then started moving slowly to the south. I was unable to determine how far away this object was due to the object changing in size, brightness, color and density.
I want back to my camper, picked up my digital camera, and jumped on my 4-wheeler. I was determined to find a clear point of view and get some still pictures, at present location the trees were obstructing my view.
The two other witnesses remained at camp, and kept a visual while I took the nearest logging road, which obstructed my view for a few minutes but was able to see this bright object through the trees shortly thereafter.
I saw that it was moving slowly south to southwest, and followed for approximately 3 miles until I was able to get a clear view and take a few photos, which did not turn out well due to the delay and flash. I then turned the camera on video, and shot about 4 videos ranging from 1-2 min each.
Aafter about 30 minutes, the object remained on a south to southwest path, I lost visual due to the trees, so I returned to camp. There I met up with the other two witnesses, and told them of the event.
I was then informed that they had continued to witness the object over the entire duration of my absence, but in a north to northwest direction. It was pointed out to me once again, but only visible for a couple more minutes before completely disappearing.
We then determined that there were in fact two objects, and I had taken after the second one while they were watching the first one. When I uploaded the video, I was surprised to find that once I turned the 4-wheeler motor off, that the audio picked up some sort of signal from the object during filming which I was unaware until the volume was turned up.
Each time the object morphed, it would give off a strange sound which can be heard on the video. I enhanced the photos but was only able to blow up what looked like a globe with a cloudy texture, unlike anything I had ever seen.
The videos were not zoomed in as close as the pictures, but clearly showed a solid object changing from a smal,l solid, bright mass to a large, semi-solid, less radiated mass. This is the 3rd sighting that I am aware of in the last 4 years.
