UFO sighting near Miami, Florida (1980)

1980–1984 night Miami, Florida 3 witnesses

Account

While hanging out front with two friends in South Florida, the witness saw a large oval illuminated object appear in the night sky. The group watched it together before it vanished suddenly, leaving a brief afterimage like a light turned off. Years later he saw a TV documentary attribute a Miami sighting to an internally lit blimp, which he accepted as possible explanation.
