Bradenton, Florida is starting be known as a UFO town. No, that picture above isn’t real. I made that in Photoshop. We’re talking about an incident earlier this month that’s adding to the Bradenton UFO lore. Bradenton Beach Police Officer Charles Morose was doing a normal patrol along Coquina Beach when he looked up. After that things got interesting.
Along with a Coast Guard plane, he saw something else. Officer Morose told the Anna Maria Sun “I saw a Coast Guard plane flying over the bay, then I watch them turn back toward the Gulf. I thought what the heck is that as I look up and saw a big black thing in the sky. I’m estimating based on the size of the plane in the sky, it was at least the size of a car, or maybe a small aircraft.”
Morose believes he was not the only one who saw the UFO. He says that the Coast Guard plane turned around as if to pursue the unknown object. The object, which until then had remained stationary, suddenly “shot off like a rocket toward the horizon and it was just gone.” The officer said that the object “had to be moving at least 500 mph.” He fortunately got a picture before it took off.
According to the Anna Maria Sun, who has the picture “The Sun reached out to the Cortez Coast Guard detachment, who forwarded the inquiry to their public relations department. After calls to multiple departments, we were told they would reach out if they had any information, claiming there was no incident reported in the area on the date and time reported by Morose.”
UFO sightings in Bradenton Florida have been common.
For instance, there’s tweets that date back to 2010. As a result, will Bradenton become the next Area 51 for the UFO crowd. With white sand beaches and E.T in the skies it could be quite a draw.
Many people have claimed to see UFOs in the area. What sets this latest one apart is that there’s a picture. And it’s a police officer who took it.
