((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS))

Last evening I filed a report of a disk shaped object in Naples, Florida seen in the early morning, I wish to withdraw this report, as I am watching the object again, and it is clearly the morning star.

Yesterday I was watching it through binoculars on my linai, which has a bug screen. The magnification of the lens on the screen must have caused the illusion of separate lights and "windows".

I apologise for wasting your time.
