At 11:30 eastern, just north of Tampa in Lutz FL. There was a black SUV type car with emergency white flashers turning into the subdivision I was coming out of.
In white lettering it said "Experimental Vehicle, Weapons Division" Too stunned to get my camera I repeated to myself what I saw and stopped soon after to write it down.
I have searched the internet to try to find a picture and cannot. Nothing comes even close. I know FReepers are very smart and will help answer this mystery. I Didn't know where to post this other than chat, but it merits some discussion.
My cousin lives in Lutz. Maybe it was him. I’ll ask. :-)
Cannot find any reference to the vehicle signage you reported.
Here’s a site that provides various gov’t vehicle photos.

You didn’t mention whether it has US gov’t or state gov’t plates?
Is there a DoD weapons vehicle manufacturer in your area?
Did the vehicle have and notable dishes, attached apparatus, ie: LRAD, ADS, MEDUSA?

Have you tried calling the town or state police public safety dept to inquire about this?
Confirm you are not pulling our leg - okay..
RE: “I am a bit freaked out. It was clearly marked with flashing lights so it’s not something they are trying to hide from the public. Is this some kind of joke? It wasn’t funny.”
heh heh
Des Moines, Iowa, metro area is crammed with insurance and various financial services companies. Their huge parking lots have large numbers of pristine high-end LARGE pickups.
Was there music coming from the van...Pop Goes The Weasel, maybe? Were there kids on bikes following him, screaming for him to stop?
Maybe DARPA - Google Alphabet defense division testing sumthin?
Nirbu evacuation escape vehicle?
Call Coast to Coast tonight ;n)

Did that. His response?
“What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?”
How the flip should I know. I asked if it was European or African. He jumped off the bridge.
I've seen that network, where does your friend live?
I didn’t call the police. I was on my way to an appointment. The remarks I’ve received on FR so far makes me realize I did the right thing by NOT calling them.(they would have thought I was nuts too) It does sound crazy, I’m not pulling anyone’s leg. I wished I had the wherewithal to look at the license plate.
true
Can you please tell my cousin to give back the keys when he’s done?
Couldn’t find a reference to that anywhere on Startpage (Anonymous Google search engine), or Dogpile.
Will be on the lookout for it when we Red-listers are rounded up for processing innthe FEMA camp mass-grave lots-o’caskets crematoriums ;n)

Realistically, probably just some redneck having fun. Off-roaders often buy light bars that look much like police lights, but are clear for ‘nighttime adventures’. They probably have a youtube channel where they make stuff go bang, etc.
Yeah, the white flashers sort of give it away. Probably advertising some bar.
There is a very official looking dark green Jeep Wrangler near me that has official looking decals that read Zombie Interdiction Unit. Should I be nervous?
They put a lot of money into it then.

Eleanor Shaw: Is this Captain Marco?
Ben Marco: Yep.
Eleanor Shaw: Captain Bennet Marco?
Ben Marco: Yes.
Eleanor Shaw: Bennet Ezikiel Marco?
Ben Marco: ...yes.
Eleanor Shaw: ...Listen.
Hah...I’ve seen that before, when looking for a hot spot.
