This was taken facing East with sun at about 2:30. The plane had just turned on the base leg ready to turn on final approach for runway L 090 at FLL airport.

The object was probably over the Atlantic as the airport is just off the coast line in Fort Lauderdale.

The picture I took just fraction of a second before this one did not shown an image or contrail approaching from the East. The camera I used was a Coolpix 3.0 LCD.

I talked to Broward County Sheriffs office command center at the airport/seaport on the 12th. Their reaction-"not in our domain-no recommendation where to go. Thank you for coming by".

The object could have been exactly overhead their office when I took the picture.

Thanks--
