On 12 January, 2014, at approximately 1550hrs EST, a total of five photos were taken. Three photos of the object; two photos of the object are enhancements of the first and last photo taken.
Three were taken of this object as it traversed the sky in a westerly direction. The object was reflecting the sun and definitely did not have a non reflective coating.
The object initially appeared to be cylindrical (vertical) on the first and second shot. The third photo was as it was opening up.
A Cannon Digital camera with a 300mm zoom lens was utilized.
Photos were taken at an approximate magnetic azimuth of 220 degrees of Melbourne, Fl, during survey of solar panel placements on a home when the object was noticed in the sky.
The object remained airborne with enough time to run inside the home and grab the camera to photograph.
* No other entity or agency has been notified by me regarding this discovery.
((NUFORC Note: Possible bird in flight, we believe? Either a seagull, or a pelican, we suspect. PD))
