I saw quite a few moving lights in the sky, and had technical problems.

Early this morning, while letting my dogs out to go to the bathroom, I happened to look up and see what looked to be a really bright star at first, but it started fluttering around in the sky moving in ways no human aircraft could. The light would get brighter and dim out at times.

Over the course of the time I was outside, I counted 6 maybe more lights all of them emitting this blue beam of light from the top of each one. I also saw much smaller lights shooting away from these but the smaller ones never stayed long enough to look at.

I live right on the east coast of Florida and it looked like the lights were just off shore. I also heard what may have been military helicopters flying up and down the coast.

My phone also started acting strange. I couldn't record anything because my camera takes poor video, but I turned the camera on my phone on and pointed it towards the light, couldn't make anything out, put my phone down and not even a minute later my phone shut itself off and showed a red and blue screen with commands on the screen talking about reboot processes. I just held the power button and the phone restarted itself and has been working fine since.
