Black Circular object flying high over tampa Florida

It was about 5:15pm and my Girlfriend & I were on her back patio. She noticed a Black circular object and pointed it out to me saying "what is that". I looked and couldnt tell either. The object appeared to be very high in altitude and was traveling south to north fairly slow. We both watched it for about 5 minutes as it got closer until it finnally was over her roof and we lost sight of it. She lives in a very populated part of Tampa Florida and there is alot of airplane traffic around her place. However, as we both watched I said there is no way that is a plane or a helicopter it was Just a Black Circular object. about 10 minutes later we went outside and saw a real plane. Seeing a real plane fly over definitly made me believe the object we saw was NOT an ordinary aircraft. I am a 28 year old Art Director and My Girlfriend is a 25 year old Insurance agent.
