  • Strong Magnetic Field Detected Following a Sighting of an Unidentified Flying Object
    Journal of ScientiJic Exploration, Vol. 8, No. 3, pp. 347-365, 1994 0892-33 10194 0 1994 Society for Scientific Exploration Strong Magnetic Field Detected Following a Sighting of an Unidentified Flying Object BRUCE MACCABEE 6962 Eyler Valley Flint Road, Sabillasville, MD 21780 Abstract-Following the brief sighting of an unidentified flying object in Gulf Breeze, Florida in September 1992, investigators made an area search using a fluxgate gradient magnetometer and found a strong magnetic field gradient, indicative of a strong source of magnetic field, which appeared to be at or above the tops of some trees near a small pond. Three circles of de- pressed grass were found in the bottom of the shallow pond. This paper dis- cusses the sighting, the area search, the circles and the field gradient mea- surements. An estimate of the field strength is presented and compared with magnetic effects associated with other sightings. The Sighting On Friday, Sept. 1 1, 1992, at approximately 6:20 pm, Mrs. A (name confiden- tial) was entering the driveway at her home in Gulf Breeze, Florida, when she saw to the northeast, over the roof of her house, an unusual round object rise upward, move to the right a short distance while flipping over (see Figure 1) and disappear in the clear sky. During the subsequent interview with local rep- resentatives of the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) she reported that the ob- ject was visible for 3 to 4 seconds. It appeared brownish-grey at the top and bottom with a pinkish-red line around its circumference.
