Wednesday, July 6th, 2022: 9:47pm

On Wednesday, July 6th, 2022, at around 9:47pm, my friend and I were hanging out on the 4th floor (top level) ocean-front private balcony of my room at the Outrigger Beach Club Resort in Ormond Beach, FL, when my friend noticed an object in the very clear night sky over the Atlantic Ocean, maybe somewhere in the vicinity of the Delphinus constellation (referenced after the sighting). He said to me, while not averting his gaze, "Hey look at that. It looks like it came out of nowhere." He had later told me that he had been looking at that part of the sky before he noticed the object.

When I looked up I saw what looked like an amber orb moving slowly from north to south. I initially thought that it could have been a plane despite an absence of flashing anti-collision lights. This light was solid and spherical. After less than 10 seconds, the light started to slowly dim and shrink until it completely disappeared.

Convinced that we had possibly seen a UFO, my friend began to look up radar data on the web for both commercial and military aircraft. There were no planes in the area at that time. I later confirmed that the International Space Station was in the Pacific Ocean during our sighting. We began tracking planes on radar and watched a few of them fly across the sky and noted how their flashing lights remained visible. We ruled out a drone entirely as the object seemed too high and far away.

Coincidentally, immediately prior to the sighting my friend had been shooting his high-powered laser into the sky. Also, for another strange coincidence, earlier in the day my friend took photographs of a black frisbee I was tossing against the backdrop of the beach as a mock UFO encounter. It was just going to be something funny we showed our friends. While I wasn't thinking about this at the time of our sighting, it remains serendipitous to me on a personal level. And not to place any emphasis on this but it occurred the same day the Georgia Guidestones collapsed and the day after CERN was reactivated. Also we saw the SpaceX launch the next morning on the 7th.

Friday, July 8th, 2022: 7:15pm (time approximated)

On Friday, July 8th, at approximately 7:15pm, I was in the Hot Tub at the Outrigger Resort when a teenager by the name of Hunter (from Tennessee) called my attention to an object he was observing under the moon. I had told him of our Wednesday Night sighting maybe ten minutes before so he may have been primed to be looking at the sky. While I turned up and to the right (I was facing the beach), Hunter (facing away from the beach) was trying to describe how close to the moon it was by measuring with his hand in his line of sight. I scanned the sky under the moon and didn't see anything, but when I swept my eyes much further below the moon to the Southwest I saw a stationary object. He had said it was originally beneath the moon and he had initially thought it could have been a falling drone when it moved.

My instinctual mental reaction was that the object (it looked round but too far away to distinguish) appeared as if it were reflecting light within our atmosphere (it was still daylight) rather than emitting light. However, I would have been happy to call it a star or even a planet had I not turned away for 2 seconds and looked back to see that it was gone. That section of the sky was very clear. No clouds. Immediately after there was a plane approaching from the west but that is not the object we had seen.

The object appeared almost white, but in retrospect could have been reflective silver.

The Outrigger is approximately a mile-and-a-half from the Aliki Towers where in September of 2020 an alleged UFO was spotted above in the clouds.
