12 December 1966
(St. Petersburg Times, Florida)
Quote from the article:
“At Saint Leo College in the vicinity of Dade County
several hundred students watched a UFO display with fascination, Tuesday night,
that lasted several hours.
That same night a Florida Highway Patrolman working
out of the Brooksville station reportedly saw a large UFO at close range. The
trooper told others he was driving on SR-50 west of Brooksville when this
bright-colored object swooped down toward his patrol car. He estimated the UFO
to be within 200 feet
of him.
Sightings are reported with increasing frequency.”
