The object fell at a very steep angle, I would estimate a few hundreds of feet south of Gulf To Bay Blvd as we were approaching the eastern side of Pinellas County where Gulf To Bay (aka SR 60) makes land fall. We were traveling west. The object was very close to our sout and appeared to have traveled from an easterly point to my vantage point.
