Initial data
My younger cousin (3 years old) had a gum infection and was taken to the hospital by my cousin and her mother, my aunt. 3 minutes after leaving the house, they ran into the house shouting "It's a UFO".
My mother and I jumped into the car, and it was less than half a mile away. They said another car also spotted an object flying over the treetops (about 20-30 feet (6-9 m) above the pines) and made a sharp U-turn.
I saw an object at an altitude of 30-50 feet (9-15 m) in the air. It was roughly egg-shaped, with about 13 yellowish lights defining the outline of the object. It was floating in the air with static electricity, that's the best I can describe, but electricity in the air is what it was like.
It was quite large, at least 30 feet (9 m) in diameter, perhaps as much as 100 feet. It rose at a steady pace, straight up, until it was no longer visible.
We did call the National Weather Service, which has a station nearby, the police and the news, but there were no other reports of us. The next day I went to school and drew what I saw on a piece of paper, a classmate laughed at me, and I was suspended for the first time in my life, so the memories are vivid.
No one from the former family has forgotten either. We live on the Florida space coast, so we're familiar with both shuttle/rocket launches and the jets and helicopters that are common closer to Patrick Air Force Base and Kennedy Space Center.

Summary: My younger cousin (3) visiting had a gum infection and was being driven to the hospital by my first cousin, and her mother, my aunt. Within 3 minutes of leaving the house, the came running in the house screaming “there is a UFO.” My mother and I jumped in the car, and the sighting was less than a half mile away. They had said another car also spotted the object coming over the tree tops (approx 20-30 ft, above pine trees) and abruptly made a u-turn. I saw the object at 30-50 ft in the air. It was roughly ovoid shaped, with approx. 13 yellowish lights defining the outline of the object. It hovered with a static in the air, thats the best I can describe it, but electricity in the air is what it felt like. Was quite large, no less than 30′ in diameter, possibly as great as 100′. It ascended at a steady pace, directly upwards, until it was no longer visible. We actually called the national weather service which has a station nearby, the police, and the news, but no other reports were related to us. I went to school the next day and drew what I saw on a piece of paper, a classmate made fun of me, and I was suspended for the first time in my life, so the memory is vivid. No one in the family that was there has forgotten either.
