"Due to its dark color blending in with the night sky backdrop," the witness stated, "it took a moment to judge its shape."
The silent object was reported to have "three dimly lit" lights at each of its three points and was black.
Plant City is a city in Hillsborough County between Brandon and Lakeland along Interstate 4, population 29,915.
The following is the unedited and as yet uninvestigated report filed with MUFON. Please keep in mind that most UFO reports can be explained as something natural or manmade. If Florida MUFON investigates and reports back on this case, I will release an update.
Florida, March 9, 2010 - Black Triangle UFO over Plant City FL. MUFON Case # 22238.
Black Triangle UFO with 3 Dimly Lit lights, 1 in each corner, made no noise, flew over Plant City FL.
Estimated distance from ground to air: 1,000 feet.
Flight direction: North by North West.
Estimated speed: 120 MPH.
I went out in my back yard for a few moments tonight and by chance I looked up during that time to enjoy the clear sky's and bright star night when I noticed an object moving north by north west very fast.
Due to it's dark color blending in with the night sky backdrop, it took a moment to judge it's shape.
There was no noise at all and it had 3 dimly lit lights, 1 in each of it's 3 corners. It was a large black triangle.
When a plane or helicopter fly's over our area at low or high altitude, within a few seconds or sooner you can here it's propeller or jet sound depending on how high it is. This made no noise at all. I observed it for about 30 seconds until it flew out of sight. No other details.
Attached is almost an artist render of the object that flew over.
Thank you.

Chemtrails being sprayed over Utrecht, The Netherlands, March 13 2010 between 11 AM and noon.
Note plane going by at 1:21 leaves only a brief trail, but then at 2:28 another plane goes by at what seems to be the same distance and altitude, leaving a thick trail that stays. Another plane starts at 3:20 in the opposite direction, laying down another cross in the air that flattens out and seems to stick together.
At 2:36, something wizes by going North to South - looks like a disk or weather balloon at very high speed. I could not identify it.
