This weekend I was staying on 30-A when I looked up off the porch to notice a "thing" hovering above the trees. It stayed there for about 5 minutes then flew away faster than anything I've seen. I rushed to tell my wife, who wouldn't believe me. The thing returned about 10 minutes later and I ran for my camera. I was able to get off one photo before it left again, like it knew what I was going to do. It hasn't been back since. We are leaving tomorrow and I'm not sure I'll be back. I know the Gulf Breeze area used to have reputation for ufo's but has anyone else ever seen anything like this here? Is the Air Force testing anything? I probably won't tell anyone about this because they will certainly think I'm lying. I don't know if its cool or if I should be afraid.

I don't know what to make of that either. But whatever it is, that wouldn't run me off from coming back to the beach. We were down at the beach September 11th, 2001 when the World Trade Center was destroyed from the jets being flown into them. And also the damage to the Pentagon. Didn't know about it until I had called my work that morning and was asked if I had seen the news. We immediately turned on the tv to see what had transpired. We were hearing military jets flying along the horizon that we could not see. I am sure they were from Tyndall Air Force Base. Now that was eery!

How's this for coincidence... my son & I were just reading a book for school titled "The Mystery of UFO's" and Gulf Breeze, FL is mentioned in the book as being a hotspot. (I never knew this.) I shared this initial post and picture with my son... he's totally freaked out!

Wow, creepy story.
Years ago, I worked in an office near Sandestin, and one day I looked out of the window and saw a silver cylinder just hovering in the sky.
I called my co-workers over to look at it, and we watched it for about 10 minutes. It was not a weather ballon because that day there were thunder clouds blowing all around and the cylinder just stayed in one place. We eventually lost sight of it in the clouds.

It's probably someone's military r&d project from Eglin or Tyndall. They do a lot of that kind of thing in these parts.

Yes, after you take that 4th bong hit. Tell us another story

I am going to take a wild guess at identifying the unnamed object as an unmanned hovercraft used by the WalCo Property Appraiser's Office to see if you have made any exterior imrovements to your property.

Boy, you SoWal folks sure know how to make a "newbie" feel at home. Seriously, as I drove home from our vacation, both my wife and I spent the whole time looking out the windows for our "beach guest". I was spending more time looking into the air than looking at the road. I'm still a bit spooked. I'm sure it was nothing. And I wasn't smoking a bong or wasted on Wild Turkey for those of you out there wondering. I'll be back for sure.

SJ has "The Eyeball" back for his avatar. I thought a thread titled "Should I be Afraid" was a good place to alert everyone. ;-)
