At 3:47 pm at the end of June, I had the urge to leave my work desk (insurance agent) and eat crackers while looking out the window. I never have the urge to do this, and haven't since. There was a strangely bright cloud. It was different from the other clouds. I purposefully compared them all. I had a strange feeling of being mesmerized or unable to move, perplexed by this cloud. I was not afraid until after the event. I felt something was hiding in the cloud.

Suddenly, a metal triangle appeared. I don't recall if it appeared out of thin air, came from the cloud, or appeared from the 2-story house's roof next to me. I'm guessing it was half a mile up in the air if I could see it from that distance, meaning it was possibly 150-200 feet wide. It was horizontal to the ground, likely 1-2 miles away. It measured only a centimeter or less across from where I stood in my home, but it was clearly far away. It can be described as medium-dark metal because it shined and reflected sunlight on its corners as it rotated. There was no exhaust. No sound, no hum. I knew I could not grab a phone because it would be gone. The shape was precisely like an angled ruler.

As I stared at this horizontal metal triangle in the sky, it started to slowly rotate around. Then, to my ultimate surprise, it slowly went vertical and began to TUMBLE north. This was a slow process. Imagine throwing an angled ruler at someone, holding it vertically (not like a frisbee), and recording it, to show it in ultra slow motion. That's how it appeared to disappear into the treeline beyond my vision.

It was not far from the Plant City airport (maybe 4-5 miles east), but this was literally as clear as day and my eyes have never deceived me. It was Absolutely Nothing like an airplane, weather balloon, kite, drone, or anything I can find. It appeared that it was near the post office on East MLK and Kingsway, which is a more rural area than Tampa or Brandon.

I'm not mentally ill and have never suffered hallucinations. I've never seen anything like this and cannot find a UFO that looks like it. Because of this, I felt the need to report this for your records. Thank you for reading. It has made me very paranoid and aware of the skies since then.
