Waiting for Bubba: Vigilant skywatchers keeping the faith

Oct. 9, 1998, Florida Today

By Billy Cox A FLORIDA TODAY column

GULF BREEZE, Fla. - Saturday night in this almost-Alabama panhandle hamlet of
6,000 souls ain't what it used to be, not since Bubba pretty much upped and
left. But for the dozen or so Skywatchers chowing down at a buffet restaurant,
what matters is that Bubba showed up at all. And they consider it a privilege
to have met him. Or whatever the hell Bubba is. Or was. Nobody figured that
out; the thing got its name when the Skywatchers kept shouting, "Look over
there, Bubba!"

.....

In June 1990, there was a paper model recovered from the attic of a house
formerly owned by one Ed Walters, who took the first Bubba pix in 1987-88. It
resembled but didn't match Walters' photos. Walters quit talking about Bubba
because of all the flack, and the Skywatchers claim he was set up. Even if
Walters was a hoax, that didn't explain what everyone else was seeing and
photographing years after the model was found.

Anyhow. The Skywatchers went on to organize themselves into Project Awareness,
which is hosting the Space Coast UFO Conference this weekend at the Cocoa
Beach Hilton. And who knows? Maybe Bubba will drop in when they do a skywatch
tonight around 10. But no matter. They'll still keep bringing the kids and the
cameras to Shoreline Park every now and then, just in case. Because you just
never know.
