Miners working on an oil platform noticed a bright orange object descending from the sky at high speed. 

When the object was at 10,000 feet and about five miles away, it stopped instantly. The bright orange glow faded, and the crew noticed an object with a bright chrome dome top and many flashing lights on the underside. 

All witnesses agreed that the object was huge: at least 200 feet (60 m) in diameter. After the object remained stationary for about ten seconds, it turned bright orange and instantly went East at high speed. The total observation time was about one minute. 

A witness on Jensen beach, about 100 miles northeast of the oil platform, watched the object fall from the sky during a high-speed vertical drop. Two witnesses in the Miami area also saw the object.

Summary:  Jan. 30, 1984;
Mine men working on an oil platform observed a bright orange object descending from the sky at a high rate of speed. When at an estimated altitude of 10,000 feet and about five miles distant, the object came to an instant stop. The bright orange glow faded and the crew observed an object with a bright chrome dome-shaped top and dozens of flashing lights on the underside. All witnesses agreed that the object was huge: no less than 200 feet in diameter. After remaining stationary for about ten seconds the object turned a bright orange and instantly moved away to the east at a high rate of speed. The total observation time was about one minute.

Two witnesses in the Miami area also saw the object; one while the object was stationary west of Miami and the other while the object was moving to the east.)
