Fighter jets circled the object

I was driving on I275 south towards Saint Petersburg fl, About one mile from howard exit. While i was driving something caught my eye it looked like it might even be a bird, while driving i kept looking up at the object and realized this was no bird. It was really strange a metallic object that was just hovering. It seemed as if it had no flight pattern and would hover and move with no direction, its hard to explain almost like a ballon. It was so interesting, I tried my hardest to watch it and keep my eye on the road, if your familair with tampa traffic. As i got closer to the object it looked like a cigar like a 50 gallon drum floating in air,my best description. To be quite honest it was kind of scary, I was so close to calling the police, but wouldnt you know it two fighter jets came out of know where and started circleing the object, I got off 275 and headed towards clearwater and lost sight of the object. Im telling you something happened today, and pr! oably most people didnt see it because it was rush hour and they where paying attention to the road. I have always been skepitcal about alien bullshit, and goverment cover up but this was real people. There must have been other witness!
