TRUE CRIME AND UFOs

The Gulf Breeze Six

A strange intersection of espionage, prophecy, and UFOs

In the summer of 1990, six U.S. Army intelligence analysts vanished from their post in Germany and surfaced days later in Gulf Breeze, Florida — a town synonymous with some of the most controversial UFO sightings in history. What compelled these soldiers to desert? What unseen forces did they believe were guiding them? And why, despite the seriousness of their offense, were they simply and quietly discharged?

This is the unbelievably real story of the “Gulf Breeze Six.”

Who Were the “Gulf Breeze Six”?

The six individuals at the heart of this mystery — Vance Davis, Kenneth Beason, Annette Eccleston, Michael Hueckstaedt, Kris Perlock, and William Setterberg — were not ordinary soldiers. They were members of the elite 701st Military Intelligence Brigade stationed in Augsburg, West Germany, a unit charged with intercepting Soviet communications at the tail end of the Cold War. Possessing top-secret clearances and fluency in the cryptographic language of global surveillance, they were the Army’s eyes and ears in a world still under the anxieties of nuclear threat.
