Full Description & Details

The lights appeared to be circling each other and inbound for runway 270 Right. I was inbound with another pilot for a full stop landing on 9 left. I called the tower and advised then of head on traffic. The said that had nothing in the area reporting as inbound from that direction. Later they told us it might have been a flight of helicopters that had flown earlier in the afternoon. The lights continued in bound, all though I had my landing lights on and was in anintersept course with them. The lights were spead out across the horizone taking up the intirer with of the airport both runways 9 L and R which were the active runways wound have been interfered with. we continued inbound and landed pulled off of the runway and stop the plane. We observed the maneuvering of the lights a figured they could not be helicopters or any other aircraft at the airport. the lights appeared to all turn northward at the same tine somewhere close to the turnpike and flew off until we lost sight of them.

The lights were white yellow green and blue.

The maneuvers were circling each other in a vertical circle while maintaining there directional flight.

This would not be a safe maneuver muchless at night. and at very slow speeds.

Each light seemed to be disconnected from the rest. Becouse of the maneuvers and the change in heading from west to north. The all changed heading at the same time and withe the same spacing.

all we saw were the lights. there was no silowet

Witness Background

Other Comments

They were just lights like the running lights on airplanes. The did not appear to be conected.

A year or so later I was at homestead air port with john it was night time and I was getting ready to fly back to TMB for the night. When john and I observed lights in the sky again doing funny maneuvers this time we jumped in my plane and flew towards the lights at two thousand feet and closing we determed it was the fuji blimp over the everglades doing bazar maneuvers for a blimp and turning on and off there landing lights. There were a bunch of calls to TMB and homestead that night, but I advised traffic controll that it was just the blimp. IT LANDED AT hOMESTEAD LATER THAT NIGHT.
