Gulf Breeze Six

Michael Hueckstaedt, Kris Perlock, William Setterberg, Vance Davis, Kenneth G. Beason, and Annette Eccleston were declared absent without leave from their base at Augsburg on July 9, 1990, in what was then West Germany.

According to Stars and Stripes, Beason told family members and other people that they came to Florida to survive the end of the world and out of interest for UFO phenomena.

[1][3] A conference of the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) was taking place in Pensacola on July 9, although it is not clear any member of the group attended.

Just two years prior, the Gulf Breeze UFO sightings, largely believed to be a hoax, had attracted the attention of those interested in the paranormal.

[6] On July 14, the six were arrested, most of them at the Gulf Breeze home of one Anna Foster, after Hueckstaedt attracted police attention for a traffic violation.
