NARRATIVE

I noticed a red light approaching that slowly dimmed as it got closer. I thought it was a satellite, as my father and I often go satellite watching. I called him over to take a look at it.
We watched the object make an overhead approach, and as it got closer to the moon overhead, my father noted it was moving awfully fast to be a satellite. It passed in front of the moon, and that was when we saw a round object silhouetted by the moonlight.  The object flew straight at a level altitude, headed toward the direction of MacDill AFB.  It was round, presumably gray in color (hard to tell as it was midnight/new years), with a red light rotating around it. I'm unsure whether there was one or two red lights moving around it, but I believe there were two red lights rotating around it. It made no noise.
Since it was New Years, my father was slightly drunk. I was not drunk. We both saw the object very clearly. I was on video call with my girlfriend, showing her the fireworks. She did not witness the object, however she did witness our reaction to seeing the object.
