Lights in the Sky

Woke up last night after 11pm from the noise of aircraft. Went outside and saw a helicopter orbiting in a wide circle over DeSoto. I watched it for 20 minutes going round and round and also saw a drone far in the distance towards 301 changing color from green to blue and red. A Wildwood police cruiser went past my house and a few minutes later it came around again and stopped. The officer asked if I had seen anyone on foot and I told him i had not. He said someone was flying drones over the prison and the helicopter and ground patrol were looking for the operator. Asked me to call them if I see someone. All very strange.
