Cape Coral, Florida - Residents see mysterious green flight lasers Reporter: Annette Montgomery Published: February 13, 2024 Updated: February 13, 2024 https://winknews.com/2024/02/13/cape-coral-green-lasers/

This was determined to be LIDAR.

Why is LIDAR being used in suburbs on concrete and homes?
I dug into this a couple weeks ago in another post, copied verbatim below here. The upshot is... If I had to guess, they're scanning to map the aquatic ecosystems in the canals and along the coast. They used to do this visually by regular photography, airplanes overhead, comparing the current to the prior. If anyone was caught, for example, trimming mangroves back large fines were incurred. Because these areas tend to be in busy flight paths, I imagine they're using new technology that can accomplish the pictures in the evening when most flights are barred. Just my educated guess. There's always the possibility of nefarious intentions, but I think that's of a lesser probability.

Digging. Planefags will enjoy the dive. ...
Apparently they did the same to Manatee-Sarasota counties, also west coast of Florida, four months ago.
"... projectfusionxa • 4mo ago Thank you for this post. Although it's a year later the company with a plane just like this is now doing same circle route over Manatee/Sarasota County Florida. Has been going over my home since 6am with a nice green laser that shines down. Figured it was something like this so appreciate all the information ..."

This Randigo LLC (which owns several aircraft that are allegedly used by a skydiving firm) is also associated with aerial surveying.
From Reddit user bobzor. -- **"... The owner, Randigo, is an aerial survey company. From a link I found:
Our entities Randigo LLC, Revolution Flight LLC, and MakeSafe LLC brought in over $12,000,000.00 in revenue in 2020 while producing our most profitable year yet. Including our on staff technical team, we employ 33 people. We operate our own fleet of Aerial Survey Planes and Part 91 Turbine Aircraft for Skydiving operations in North America. ..."**

Now, let's look at Revolution Flight LLC. Not much info there and so far I haven't come up with who the principals are - owners, CEO, etc.

Then there's a MakeSafe LLC out of Georgia that appears to be affiliated with support activities for air transportation. They DBA FairLifts that has an aerial survey division. They appear to use helicopters vs small craft airplanes.

Edit: Some final thoughts. When looking into companies it's very strange to NOT find information online on the owners and upper management, even if just pleasantly-worded history, like "Bob grew up flying back in Iowa and always wanted to own a fleet of aircraft... ". I've seen this before in c_a affiliated firms so it always raises red flags.
Second, if an aerial survey was being done there should be some information available from the FAA. Something. They have to be authorized to use that flight pattern by someone in the FAA as is my understanding. Planefags can perhaps weigh in on this. According to the reporter who allegedly checked this nobody seems to know why these planes are surveying.
Thirdly, in Florida they sometimes do aerial surveying to track the health of coastal ecosystems such as ensuring that mangroves aren't being destroyed either artificially or naturally. Why they would do this at night might be to avoid heavier air traffic during daylight hours. They would not, however, be scanning inland neighborhoods.
Just my added two cents.
.
Edit2: The first flight pattern map in the Reddit link is from Melbourne Florida on the east coast of the state and the airplane registration corresponds to an entry in the Randigo aircraft data link. Apparently the plane ownership of the Cape Coral instance was determined by a flight tracker as well and the described flight pattern looks similar to the Melbourne instance, shown further down in the Reddit thread.
For those who may not be familiar with the topography of Cape Coral, Florida do a simple ddg search on it and zoom in closer. It's just north of Ft Myers and a relatively small city largely surrounded by water. In addition you'll see a rather extensive network of canals throughout, behind the homes. These canals will include mangroves so I'm leaning on this being an operation to map these mangroves. I couldn't locate any information on the two individuals cited in the post news story, Casey Sutton or Philip Bertoglio(sp?), but it's likely that wherever they were in Cape Coral, there are canals nearby. I just found Philip Bertoglio (when I checked the Italian spelling) and his home backs up to a canal.
Another theory: Smart City.
That's a theory, but... In the case of Cape Coral, I'm guessing that's not really feasible. The area being surveilled, like in the other two cities/towns, is a small area, surrounded by water on three sides, an extensive canal system and (if I'm not mistaken) purely (or at least largely) residential. I'm under the impression that smart cities need to be self-contained with grocery stores, pharmacies, doctors, etc. Edit: there ARE businesses among the area being surveilled, just checked the flight pattern again. My memory (mistakenly) had the survey skimming closer to the coast, but, in fact, it diagonally scans from NW to SE. Still loads of canals there, mostly residential.
Another theory is they might be hunting for submersible drug-running operations as the Florida coast, in general, is an opportune destination for bringing contraband in. That would explain why, when the reporter for the Cape Coral scan (allegedly) tried checking with the authorities, they didn't provide any answers. If they are hunting drug-runners they're not going to advertise it.
Due to the fact that each of the three cities/towns mentioned that have had these survey flights buzzing overhead have a considerable canal system where the surveying is occurring, I'm leaning towards the ecosystem theory.
In today's world, though, doc, we absolutely can't rule out nefarious activity.
Sure hope we don't hear about another strange fire in this area where the green lasers were seen.
I just wanted to add...
I went looking back at the flight patterns at all three locations. The earliest seems to have been in Melbourne Florida (on the east coast), maybe two years ago. In looking closer at the area... lo-&-behold! There's a Space Force Base just north of there. Patrick Space Force Base. Could they be using the aviation survey company to test out some new technology? Trying it locally then at two locations on the west coast of Florida? Curiouser and curiouser.....

Edit: The Melbourne flight originated in MLB, but was actually north of there, east of Titusville, Florida and over Merritt Island. Guess what's on Merritt Island? The Space Florida Launch and Landing Facility.

if only a govt agency or corporate entity would come forward and explain why they are mapping our towns like this. could this be a new way of google mapping google earth?
I don't know. But it is weird. I've never seen one. And I don't trust what the government or a corporate entity has to say. icymi

Lidar mapping is common
Have you ever seen one? I haven't.
Actually I have. Drones do it all the time for surveying work. And stockpiling work.
I hope I never see one around here.
that type of laser is mapping the ground, the type of laser that starts fires will be extremely focused and not spread out
I don't think they are for starting fires either. Just for surveillance and looking at the what's on the ground.
3/11/24 - At least 7,000 cows have died in historic Texas wildfires, official says Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller: "Their hooves are burned off, their utters are burnt beyond."
Five wildfires ignited last month in the Panhandle, THE LARGEST CATTLE-PRODUCING REGION IN THE WORLD, leading to a devastating cost: 1.1 million acres scorched, hundreds of destroyed structures, hundreds of miles of ruined fencing and more than 7,000 dead cattle.
Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller stated last week that more than 85% of the state's cattle production occurs in the Panhandle. In 2023, Texas generated approximately 12 million head of cattle, and the Panhandle contributed significantly with 10.2 million head — the majority of which are situated in large-scale feed lots and dairy facilities. https://www.amarillo.com/story/business/agricultural/2024/03/11/texas-wildfires-thousands-cows-dead-panhandle-smokehouse-creek-fire-map/72928670007/
