A Florida witness at Perdido Key reported watching a round craft with red lights moving while a ground-based search light followed it, according to testimony in Case 77923 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness was camping in this area on July 6, 2016, just a few miles from Pensacola Naval Air Station.
“Around 11:30p.m., I saw a round craft with red lights go out into the bay with search lights on the ground following it,” the witness stated.“It went to a spot 200-300 feet in the air, it hovered and then circled back to the airstrip. This happened 4-5 times. I had my binoculars and was only 2-3 miles from it.”
The witness was also able to see the object land.
“When it landed, from what I could see, it seemed a cloud of gas or fog surrounded the object. I got the feeling it was remote controlled because on one of the flights while hovering it bounced up and down while hovering like someone was having some fun with a joystick.”
The witness may have been looking at a base-controlled drone.
“In summing it up; it took off, hovered at the same spot and returned to the area it took off from, which was the airbase, over the course of a half of an hour 4-5 times.”
