Oval over Tampa, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
In the early evening (sunset over the Hillsborough Bay, of June 2015, I took this picture with my Android as I was driving over the Gandy Bridge, Tampa Florida. The sky caught my attention because of the way the clouds looked and the sunset. Did not notice the craft (UFO) in the sky at the time. I was driving 55 mph and just snapped it quickly. I just noticed the (UFO) craft in the sky today, January 18, 2016, when I was looking through photo’s in my Florida library media. I can’t believe what I zoomed in on when I noticed the dark oval craft in the picture in the upper right corner of my Photo. This craft and looks like 2 other very small black images near it of an odd shape, but my camera did not depict their design. Hope this photo can be analyzed well with the photo I have sent and someone has some idea what this craft is. Definitely not a jet. I am still amazed and curious about this craft (UFO) and look forward to reading about my photo on your site in the near future and what on earth it is.

What would the paper say?
For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.

I was out walking my dog and in the corner of my eye I saw an orange glowing orb jet across the sky (no sound) at an incredible speed. Once I turned my head and made full eye contact with it, it quickly passed and got obstructed by the building adjacent to me. I have seen drones before in the area that people like to fly, I can say with much certainty this was not a drone of any kind I am aware of since the glow was spherical and the rate of speed it moved was way too fast. I am unsure of the altitude since it happened so quickly, but I would imagine it is in the range of 200-400 feet (im no expert on prediction of altitude)

The object I saw was like a Fireball going upwards towards the moon. Within seconds the fireball disappeared but i could still see a object which appeared to go up for about 20 seconds more after the fireball disappeared , This object appeared to be white with lights and going upward before disappearing.

I was checking my oil in the Dollar General Store parking lot and saw 3 objects flying over me. Close enough that I could get a good look. They looked like 3 small silver Goodyear shaped balloons with no markings

I was driving down US 41 at 2am, lights on the buildings were flickering and I was trying to get a photo of that. There were no cars passing or approaching me. The photo I got revealed a disk shaped object with a shadow on the road, the shadow makes me inclined to think that it wasn't my camera malfunctioning, because other pictures I got of the building were very clear and there was no shadow in the other pictures. There is also a reflection of the object on my car. As I was taking the picture it felt like something very fast passed me, but it was not a car, like I said there were no other cars on the road.
