We've written about explained UFOs. Here's one that was never accounted for. It was first told to me by the Crime Scene Tech at the CCSO, Marvin Mayo, who took the case photos. I've since been told the tale by many other Deputy witnesses.
On March 14, 1965 a local rancher was camping, with his passel of hunting dogs, in the Everglades. Night had fallen and all was quiet when his dogs became agitated, doing the things dogs do when they sense something's wrong.
Then a pulsating light, that seemed to be drifting towards earth, suddenly appeared. He estimated that it was about a mile away and suspected it was an aircraft in trouble. Thinking he might be able to help, he fired up his swamp buggy and headed in the direction of the brilliant light.
As he approached the spot where the "plane" seemed to have gone down, he found no wreckage, only a circular, cone-shaped object emitting pulsating light. The craft was about 75 feet in diameter and 30 feet tall. It was hovering slightly above the ground, emitting a humming noise and wobbling like it was trying to keep its balance. The were several rows of ports in the side from which a yellow light radiated.
The rancher stepped down from his buggy and approached on foot. He didn't get far. A thin blue beam rifled from the craft and slammed him between the eyes. He was immediately knocked unconscious.
We he awakened, though stunned and half-blind, he was able to make it to his buggy and limp to the hospital. Examination revealed a large red spot between his eyes, blurred vision, and atrophy of his muscles. His eyes seemed to have suffered from X-ray.
Investigators at the scene found no space craft but evidence that something strange had been there. A large circle was scorched in the foliage and the tops of the trees burned out. Mayo said he didn't know how any human could've burned, or controlled the burn of such a perfect circle. And there was a strange smell coming from the earth.
The US Air Force invested UFO sightings at the time and they were called to the scene. They were notorious for ridiculing the sightings, but in this case were reluctant to. The rancher wasn't the usual nutty, glassy-eyed sighting witness. He was an established, well regarded citizen. Then there were his physical injuries that he couldn't have inflicted himself.
The bottom line was an official report was never issued and the case languished until it was forgotten. Except by those who'd been there and seen the victim and the eerie burned circle in the Glades.
