Sitting on my front porch facing the Gulf side of the lower florida keys (North) just a couple of weeks after hurricane IRMA passed through (my home was ground zero) about 10:30 pm. The skys are clear except for 2 or 3 clouds, one of which was just above and to the right of my home. Sudden I notice a small dimly lite line way out in the Gulf. It's low about 1500 - 2000 ft. After a few seconds I notice its getting bigger and I figure out it's coming toward me. As it gets closer I see its a tube with a half circle head on the leading edge. As it gets closer still I realize it's as big as a football field, it appears translucent (but it's not) and I know its not of this world. I jump out of my seat and move to the rail of my deck to get a closer view. It's moving about 40-50 mph, with absolutely no sound. It's now right in front of me and so close I see one Spot light inside the head and a thin black vertical line off to the side (inside the head). The whole ship has a thin layer of cloud covering it and the cloud material on the leading edge is rolling off the front of the ship. It keeps coming and I quickly move to the right side of my deck to see it come over. It comes right over 1500 ft up clear unobstructed view. At a constant rate of speed it flies straight into the 2nd could in the sky (just above and to the right of my home) and never emerges. This was a small cloud I could see above it, below it and to the right of it. This ship would have blown through it in a second but it did not. It either took a hard left turn or parked in the cloud or jumped space time. I am a retired engineer so this whole event was to say the least very interesting. I wondered the next day if this event was simply an investigation of ground zero or if I for some reason was relevant to the event. Three days later I woke at 5:20am from a bizarre dream, with a headache. I never have either. It was so strange I thought Aliens? I got up went to my french doors (facing the gulf) and looked up. There's a single white light slowing blinking above my house maybe 100 ft up, very close. It's stationary for a couple of minutes then suddenly starts slowly moving toward the back of my home (out of view). My question was answered, somehow I am relevant to this sighting. It was not just being at the right place at the right time. I immediately wonder why would I be of any interest to the Aliens, The only reason I could think of was that I have some telepathic ability. I realized this working with animals several years ago. So to test my hypothesis I spend the next two nights on my top deck (facing the gulf) attempting to connect with the Aliens. I asked them to confirm they could hear me. Each night several minutes later a white fast moving triangle would come straight over. Triangles were dimly white shaped like a boomerang.. Solid edges, no way these were birds. I tried a third night with no results. I am 57 trained in science but I do have an open mind. I do not know if I have been abducted or not. The bizarre dream sure felt like a masking dream or image. That's it. It's been 6-8 weeks now and I haven't seen anything else. I know it sounds crazy but I assure you I am not.
