The following two articles appeared in the Gulf Breeze Sentinel
|
|
on April 26, 1990. They relate to the continuing UFO sightings
|
|
that have been occurring in the Gulf Breeze, FL area over the
|
|
past few years. A photograph showing a large "light" in the sky
|
|
was also presented.

SCIENTIST STUDIES SIZE AND DISTANCE OF UFO
|
|
|
|
Multiple sightings and photographs help scientists locate the
|
|
size and distance of the red glowing object that flew over Gulf
|
|
Breeze on Wednesday, April 18, 1990. Several of the thirty-plus
|
|
witnesses who saw the object also video taped the sighting
|
|
which further aids the investigation. Using the 35 mm photos
|
|
of the object, the angle of elevation and distance to the object
|
|
was calculated to be approximately 3.4 miles when first seen
|
|
to approximately 1.7 miles when the object disappeared.
|
|
|
|
An optical study is now being conducted by a leading expert
|
|
from Washington, D.C., Dr. Bruce Maccabee. If, upon further
|
|
study, the image on the 35 mm negatives proves to be .0625 mm,
|
|
then the object was about 15 feet wide. The brilliant red glow of
|
|
the object was also witnessed by officers John Rhodes and Don
|
|
Stevens who said, "It was not an airplane or helicopter, it was
|
|
a very bright red light at least several miles away. We don't
|
|
know what it was."
|
|
|
|
Doug Wilkes witnessed the object and later reported to Police
|
|
Chief Brown, "I'm ex-military and an expert on helicopter profile;
|
|
this was no helicopter or flare or anything that I could identify."
|
|
|
|
From April 11 to April 18, there were five multiple witness
|
|
sightings involving as many as 60 people, four videotapes and
|
|
dozens of photos.

WITNESS DESCRIBES UFO SIGHTING
|
|
|
|
Andy O'Daniel came to the Sentinel last week to share his
|
|
UFO sighting of Wednesday evening, April 11th.
|
|
|
|
Andy said he was just stepping out of the dugout about 9:00 p.m.
|
|
when he saw a bright red/orange light rise from the trees
|
|
behind left field.
|
|
|
|
It went straight up, stopped, then came over the ball park and
|
|
stopped again "as if it was checking things out," said Andy.
|
|
|
|
Then it moved south out of sight. "I don't know what it was,"
|
|
said Andy. "But I know what it wasn't and it wasn't a plane,
|
|
helicopter, or balloon."
