Vacationing in Fiesta Key KOA Resort in the Florida Keys (near Marathon) sometime in the 1980's. Can't remember the year. Sitting at waters edge in evening with Mother-in-Law looking out at the stars. One star started moving and came in much closer to us but still far off in the sky. I'd say it came to about 1/2 mile to 1 mile away. It stopped and my MIL and I looked at each other because we knew this was something strange because if it was an airplane it wouldn't just stop dead. I felt there was an intelligence to it. After sitting there for probably less than a minute, it took off at a north east angle in the sky at an incredible rate of speed, nothing like I had ever seen before. No aircraft or technology that I know about could maneuver like this. My MIL and I again looked at each other and knew we had just seen a UFO. It almost felt as though it knew we were watching and then took off. I'm not sure if we were facing north,south, east or west though. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it for myself. I guess why I felt I knew this was a UFO was because of the rate of acceleration and maneuvering. I never really believed in UFO's before but I've noticed more reporting and discussion about it recently and decided to register my sighting.
