NBC-7 News in Florida reported a case of "strange lights" in the sky over the south Walton County coastline Friday night, March 12.
Few details were given on the news cast.
Calls were received at the television station about lights appearing in the sky Friday night. Chief meteorogist Chris Smith shows a photo of two lights in the night sky.
This television report matches with a new case from the same date in the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) database.

Euclid resident Eugene Erlikh, 20, first reported seeing a UFO over Lake Erie and as of Friday, had seen the object nine days in a row.
Wertman filed an official UFO sighting report with MUFON Saturday morning, and staked out the beach area below Erlikh's high rise apartment in anticipation of seeing the object again.
The buzz built during the afternoon through emails and phone calls on who was going to see if the mysterious lights would show over Lake Erie for the 10th night in a row.
Wertman and six other ufologists braved not only the cold, but drizzling rain.

The witness reports that the object was triangle shaped "with two things sticking out of the front."
The object had "weird writing on the bottom and looked to be flying backwards."
The object, the witness reports, was as "big as 5 cars."
No further details were given, but they do provide an illustration.
Concern has been mounting over the past month among rural Boyaca communities, due to the spate of bloody attacks against livestock, reported Colombian media Monday.
The most recent killing was discovered early Monday morning on the outskirts of the department's capital Tunja, bringing the grim total to some 20 butchered animals, including calves, bulls and, allegedly, a donkey.
Fort Morgan officials are investigating mysterious surges of some sort of contaminant in the city's wastewater treatment plant.
Water Resources Director Gary Dreessen told the Fort Morgan City Council on Tuesday about the episodes, providing a chart of one such incident on Sunday night that showed "a huge spike in the total suspended solids" in the effluent from the treatment plant.
The TSS is essentially a measurement of the "dirt" remaining in the treated wastewater after it passes through the plant, Dreessen said.
While the city's limit for TSS is 30 milligrams per liter, and the plant's discharge is normally well below 10, the spike on Sunday night reached more than 100 mg/l, Dreessen said in an interview Wednesday.

At least two dozen people became sick and complained of fumes at two West Side buildings, but officials can't determine what was wrong.
The mystery began at about 10 a.m. Thursday, when staffers at the Alivio Medical Center in Pilsen began complaining of light-headedness and nausea.
"I got a phone call from one of my managers that several people were complaining bout coughing, (being) teary-eyed (and having a) dry nose, and it was like hacking sensation in one area," said center spokeswoman Dora Garcia.
That building was evacuated and some of those who said they were sick were taken to another facility. Once there, even more people said they were feeling sick.

Best of the Web: Case of the US Garage Door Gremlins: San Antonio, Texas balky door openers tied to NSA

I mean, "My garage door opener's not working and I think the government's involved"? That's tinfoil hat territory.
But the calls kept coming, and soon Lopez and his District 6 staff confronted a mystery that led them to the doorstep of the National Security Agency, the nation's code-maker and code-breaker, which is putting a data center into the old Sony microchip plant near Loop 410 and Military Drive.
Call it the Case of the Garage Door Gremlins.
It started in January with a trickle of calls and e-mails, but the complaints were oddly similar. West Side residents around Loop 410 and Military Drive were having problems with their garage door openers. Some had talked to one another and suspected a widespread problem.
Hundreds of homeowners in the Northwest part of town can't seem to get their garage doors to open.
"We were wondering why," explains homeowner John Zurita. "We have to go in out and out of the house, the remote doesn't work at all."
He's not alone. Residents that live within a five mile radius of Culebra and Portranco Road are experiencing the same problem.

On Friday July 18, 2008, at about 10:30 PM, a co-worker and I were taking a 15 minute break on the stern of the SS Horizon's Edge - Boston, a casino cruise ship and company I was employed for at the time out of Lynn, Massachusetts.
We were drifting on the outer edge of the Stellwagen Bank Marine Sanctuary during casino hours. As we started to make our way back inside the vessel to return to work, we heard a loud "whooshing" sound from about 10 to 15 degrees off the port bow.
This is not an uncommon occurrence as waves continually hit the bow; especially during inclement weather. But we knew right away the sound was a bit "off."

I saw something on March 6, when I was driving by Lakeland Florida Airport. From a distance I thought it was just several planes flying in a close formation, but that is explainable because they may have been landing.
When I got closer I saw that there were seven small, blue blinking lights like you would see on the bottom of airplanes. It was these flashing lights that lead me to believe they were planes at first.
As I got even closer I saw that they were completely still. Totally frozen. Hovering motionless. It couldn't be planes. They can't hover.

Comment: For several years now, SOTT has been collecting 'garage jamming' stories from all over US and even Canada:
Virginia, US: Marine Base radio signal knocks out garage door openers
Airwave glitch hits Colorado Springs, US area: Garage-door openers jammed, hundreds say
Florida, US: Air Force radios jamming garage-door openers in Panhandle
Ottawa, Canada: Garage doors work after mystery signal vanishes
San Antonio, Texas, US has a reccuring mysterious garage door dilemma
Land Mobile Radio system - United States Department of Defense's new state-of-the-art communication system is being blamed in all of them. They even issued an uncooperative news release, urging unlucky owners of baby monitors, cordless telephones, computers, garage door opener remote controls, wireless mouses, etc. to purchase a retrofit for their remote control system to allow operation on a frequency that is not used by the LMR system.
Although the explanation of Land Mobile Radio system being responsible for garage doors' jamming sounds plausible and fits military's 'we don't care' mentality, it still doesn't explain what exactly they are doing and why. Care to speculate?
