Following the brief sighting of an unidentified flying object in Gulf
Breeze, Florida in September 1992, investigators made an area search
using a fluxgate gradient magnetometer and found a strong magnetic field
gradient, indicative of a strong source of magnetic field, which appeared
to be at or above the tops of some trees near a small pond. Three circles
of depressed grass were found in the bottom of the shallow pond. This
paper discusses the sighting, the area search, the circles and the field
gradient measurements. An estimate of the field strength is presented
and compared with magnetic effects associated with other sightings.
