This information is very confidential and not shared with snowbirds for their own protection. 😎
Otherwise, I don’t have a clue.:shrug:

Looks like the creature from the black lagoon

Lol, downed birthday ballon bouquet. Good thing they didn't get stuck in power lines, mylar is a big no-no.

You need a better camera

It looks like a gator with its jaws open with a bird sitting on his back

No I can’t.

I wonder how many animals that balloon will kill.

The white sphere is "Rover". It is activated if anyone tries to escape The Villages.
(A reference to the television series "The Prisoner".)
"Enter Rover" on YouTube:

Pollution.

Pond creature (aka a mylar goon lagoon) has been trapped and removed
 
Hi all,
Thanks for clarifying the mystery. I saw a fellow homeowner navigate the treacherous slope of the pond bank to safely retrieve and deflate this golden monstrosity. But if I see any other mysterious sightings in The Villages, I know where to turn for expert advice!

Not so LOL....It could get wrapped around some poor, defenseless bird's body (wings, mouth, legs) and cause it to suffer unbearably.

WOW.. as a snow bird you really make me feel wanted with your snarky replies in asking a simple question..America’s Friendliest Town? You could have just said you didn’t know or that it’s balloons..

Would be helpful if you quoted the post you were referring to so we would know whom you were talking too.

Easy there Lianne, take a step back and a deep breath. I was LOL-ing at the OP's playful post inferring we might have our own "Nessie" here. It was NOT Lol at the damage it could cause (both wildlife and infrastructure) hence why I elaborated on it.

Pond denizen
 
Looks like a roseate spoonbill. But don’t know what it is sitting on.

As a snow-bird you should be accustomed to snarky replies.. we hear them when we visit your hometown! The Friendliest town sign was installed years ago, and promoted by the County Tax office! … I love Summers in The Villages

#5 - Hate New Yorkers and anything on the Right
#6 - Has to, so you can buy their Tacos
#7 - High on Drugs, they have no clue you are there
#8 - One out of every 6 residents in poverty, Love handouts.
#9 - Can I say, Bang!, Bang! - "Stick 'em Up!"
#10 - Close the streets and Burn baby Burn....

Truly disappointed we were told the villages has everything. I was thrilled that we have a
mira messa monster, Seems some hero braved sunken who knows what to remove this TRASH. Sure to make the New York Times and utube.
