Disk over St Petersburg, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I thought I was seeing a sliver of the moon when suddenly it moved laterally and stopped. It looked like a bright white disk and then an arch. I forgot to zoom in while taking the videos and photos, but if you zoom in on either you can see the shapes I mentioned. It continued moving quickly within a limited space in the sky and at one point it seemed to released a vapor-like emission, like a cloud or haze that vanished almost as quickly as it appeared. Then there were little teeny specs of silver like three or four of them GOING INTO the object, as they did this the silver specs released vapors off to the side, that disappeared just as quickly as the first vapor did. I was so startled when I first saw it it took me a minute to think of filming it. I hope what little video and photos I did get helps.

I was staring at the object and then 10 seconds later it just disappeared and became sky again. It did not fly away. It was a silver oval over the hooters restaurant area. Was so strange. I stared at the sky for over 10 minutes thinking that I might see it again but didn't.

Look in the night sky a little ways out from the moon there is a weird 3 light that's orange or goldish in color but doesn't look like a star or planet from the naked eye. Its there from dusk to dawn but better seen in the night sky then look directly across in the opposite direction you will see another one like it. It looks like from the naked eye 3 dots in a triangle formation & they arent stars because the stars are a different color visibly & further away than these are. 1 is to the east & 1 is to the south & 1 of the 2 can be seen in the exact same distance from the moon throughout the whole night as the moon travels across the sky? Pictures & videos show the shapes of both change over time throughout the night sky, since Sept 19th 2020 I've seen these in different parts of the sky but in late Oct into November I've seen 1 positioned off from the moon staying in the same position away from the moon traveling with it as the moon goes across the night sk! y when in Sept it was in a different position & the 3 more times after the first time it was in a completely different postion in the eastern sky only in the dawn sky & it looked within the earth's atmosphere too. Not sure about the ones we see in the dusk sky whether they are in space or within earth atmosphere itself. Date started 9/19/2020 to present time. Not a star, planet or satellite or space station last 2 move & these dont move like those 2 do, star & planet look different when photographed & videoed than these do.
