Full Description & Details

The object appeared initially over a high rise building in Miami beach. I was far away but unusual because of its white glow and perfect position over the building. It appeared to be spinning rapidly counter-clockwise. Later, the object reappeared as my family left Miami beach enroute to home, Vero Beach (approximately three hours away). The object moved so fast that it was impossible to track with the eyes until it was stationary again. It made no sound at all. It some instances during our transit back to my home town, it would make close passes to the ground, creating a brief phenomena over the ground that I can best describe as a "whirl-wind' affect. The sand and other objects on the ground would rapidly spiral upward as though caught in a "whirl-wind". I also noticed that the object was not actually spinning. There appeared to be a thin spinning field around the object. It continued to zip around to various positions in the sky for a while and then became stationary overhead. However, it was so bright that I could still see its reflection in the car window. This entire sequence of events on the road went on for about one hour and a half. Finally it zipped to a position over a relatively tall building, pulsed (became extremely bright for a moment), and then zipped away with incredible speed with an enormous roar (the only time that this object made any sound) and leaving a visible, and very solid trail that quickly dissipated. This story sounds like something right out of a science fiction novel. I will not tell this story to but only a hand full of very well trusted friends and family for this reason. I do know for certain that this was no natural phenomena or man-made object. I have never seen anything like it since. I was a young child then and, since it was not cigar or saucer shaped, I did not understand for a long time that I had actually seen a UFO. For a long time, I thought of it as a small, white tornado due to the spinning field around it.
