I am 60 years old. In 1980 I lived in South Florida. One afternoon I was sitting at a neighborhood pool with a friend after swimming. It was around 4pm and we were the only ones there.

I was looking at a sky that was mostly clear with small, scattered clouds and not paying attention to anything in particular when I noticed a silver, cigar shaped object moving slowly in a north to south direction at around 3,000 feet. I don’t know how it came to be there. One second there was nothing there, the next second there was. I didn’t say anything to my friend, I just watched this peculiar sight. It was moving slowly and then another one like it, but smaller, emanated out of it and they shared the same flight path. Following that one came more of them, each emanating from the larger one until there were around a dozen, all flying in formation. I didn’t know what I was seeing, and by the time I was able to make some semblance of sense of it they were gone. It seemed like it took a long time but looking back on it It could not have taken more than a minute. Unfortunately my friend did not see them because he was looking elsewhere and by the time I thought to show him they were gone.

My conclusions: what I witnessed was definitely not made by or piloted by humans. No way. I have never seen anything even remotely like it before or since. The best way I can describe it is that it seemed like they came from another dimension. As if they were flying in another dimension and either accidentally or purposely slipped into our dimension for a minute and then went back into theirs. My gut feeling is that it was accidental, although if it was then why produce all of the smaller crafts?

I thought for sure I would see this on the news or in the next day’s newspaper but there was nothing. But you can take it from me that this is true. It really happened. Thanks for reading.
