Unusual bright light captured hovering over Tampa, Florida, USA, 22 April 2021

A video has been posted on YouTube by "ilham bintang" showing a bright light hovering in the sky over Tampa, Florida, 22 April 2021. 

Ilham says the video was taken from Zephyrhills in the morning, looking west over Tampa.

 

Analysis

One YouTube commenter suggests the light is the moon through a gap in the clouds. A quick look on Stellarium shows there was no moon in the west in the morning. Its not the sun either, as the sun rises in the east.

The light looks stationery, but if we overlay a frame from the start of the video and compare with a frame from the end, we can see that the light has moved slightly.

 

If we line up these 2 stills so the clouds overlap, we can see that the light has still moved, so the object is not as a result of a gap in the clouds.

 

 

So, this could be a real object. It is strange that this is the only report however.

Three bright lights off the coast of Naples, Florida USA, 27 Jan 2021

An unknown person has reported a suspected UFO incident to MUFON. The report contains videos and an enhanced image of three bright objects in the sky. 

 

At first the objects appear as a triangle shape at in the first video. In the second video, the objects have moved into random positions. 

The witness states "Went to the beach for sunset. noticed a very bright object."

Analysis

Any three objects evenly spaced will form a triangle shape - its does not mean there is a triangular shaped object. This is confirmed in the second half of the video and the image when the lights have drifted out of formation in a random pattern. The lights have a reddish shade to them, very familiar as seen in Chinese lanterns. The objects do not perform any extra-ordinary movements, again they move in a way a Chinese lantern would in the breeze. 

Conclusion - possibly Chinese lanterns

Black Object Over Royal Palm Beach, Florida, Jan 3, 2021

Eyewitness states: Black cube shape about 10ft length/width/height with apparent exhaust on one side. 

On January 3, 2021, I was exiting a department store located in Royal Palm Beach, FL, at 6pm. I had just finished shopping with my 10 year old son when I spotted a dark, cubed-shaped object, moving slowly from the west towards a north/northwest location. I immediately filmed it with a somewhat unsteady hand as my son and I were standing on the edge of the street and we had packages that we were keeping an eye on. 

Still, I was able to follow it until I lost visual as it seemed to be lowering its altitude and lost it behind the store. It was at around 500ft away, give or take. It had what seemed to be some sort of dim light on one side and it appeared that it was some sort of propulsion and it seemed to show some rotation motion. There was no sound coming from it. As soon as I lost visual I jumped in my car and started driving behind the store but couldn’t see it anymore.

Analysis

The object certainly has the appearance of a bag or slightly deflated balloon. The object does seem to be moving quite swiftly as if in a strong breeze, but looking at the trees in the foreground of the video, there does not appear to be much wind at all. 

The witness mentions a dim light on the side - this could be the remnants of the burner from a Chinese lantern
