A group that investigates reports of unidentified flying objects Monday announced plans to hold its annual meeting in this Florida Panhandle city because of numerous UFO sightings in the area. Fifty-five formal reports've been filed with the Mutual UFO Network from the Pensacola area since the first sighting in suburban Gulf Breeze more than two years ago, said Charles D.

Among the speakers'll be Ed Walters, a Gulf Breeze builder who triggered the spate of sightings by photographing a saucer-shaped object in the sky Nov. 11, 1987, & Bud Hopkins, a New York City author who's written two books, "Missing Time" & "Intruders," on reports of people being abducted by aliens. Walters also's written a book, "The Gulf Breeze Sightings," about several sightings he & others've made in this area. ********************************************** * THE U.F.O.
