RAW VIDEO: UFO Recorded Flying Over Tampa-Area
Driver Camdon Neville, an Orlando acoustic folk artist who goes by the stage name Clowd Nyne, was the first to notice the UFO in the early evening sky. Show producer and host Clifford Jeudy, who goes by the stage name Rebel Black, quickly grabbed the camera and began to tape for more than three minutes.The video recorded shows an orange glow in the sky over Hillsborough County. At times, the streaking orange glow appears to be two separate 'fire balls.' The video was recorded on a mini-DV tape using a handheld Sony HD camera."I wish I could explain what it was that I saw, but I can't, because of all the different things it did," said passenger Kniki Freeman, an Orlando rapper who goes by the stage name Sky High.While the entire video recorded contains 3 minutes and 28 seconds worth of footage, Movement Television has only released around one minute (view it here). The rest of the footage is being withheld as Movement Television works on a documentary that will premiere the full video. It is expected to be released in Summer 2008.WFTV.com found one similar report posted online of a viewing on the same day along Himes Avenue and Columbus Drive in Tampa (see map). In that description posted online, the observer notes, "Viewed two fireballs with long tails flying in a horizontal formation one on top of the other moving in a westerly direction south of our position. After about 15 to 20 seconds of flight in a constant direction with the top fireball varying in distance only slightly from the bottom fireball (by separating in distance vertically), the fireballs made a maneuver that seemingly defied the laws of physics. They both executed a 120 to 140 degree turn towards the earth and seemed to spiral around each other in an arc before they were no longer in our view (read full description).""Not on our radar at all," Lt. Rebecca Heyse, Public Affairs Officer for Macdill Airforce Base, told WFTV.com, adding that they have no reports of similar sightings on January 20.Movement Television said they have also been contacted by media companies interested in obtaining the video. At this time, no deals have been made.
