NARRATIVE

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.
Possible bird in flight, we believe?  Either a seagull, or a pelican, we suspect.  PD
