In 1997, a couple of years after Everbank Field was built, an unidentified object (aliens) were spotted at the stadium. Drivers crossing the Hart Bridge first discovered the invaders.
Cars screeched to a halt when drivers realized what they were witnessing. The sight caused a 30-car-pileup, and dispatch’s phone steadily ringing. Nobody was seriously hurt, but somebody was probably abducted.
The calls were helpless, police chases rarely leave the planet – otherwise Cops would be the number one show in the world.
Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office was so overwhelmed they had to call for reinforcements. Dispatch thought it was a naval drill, but people on the bridge knew it was nothing they had seen before – except for one crazy guy.
True.
There are dozens of people quoted about what they saw – all with identical stories. The first officer on scene, Deputy Adam Dean, “resigned” a week after the sighting.
By the time the National Guard arrived the visitors had vacated, but they left their mark on Jacksonville and Everbank Field.
^Their Mark ^
So, I said true, but this is actually all fiction – my friend Anthony thought of the idea, the details, all me. If you read the fine print (subtitle), Northeast Florida’s odd and USUALLY true stories. Plus, don’t believe everything you read.

I would have been the first one out of here.
Haha their mark, had me going. Cool stuff.

I until the very end was thinking this was a true story and the entire time I was thinking to myself … No way. Great details and idea. Definitely got me!
It tricked more people than I thought. I am glad the photo wasn’t a dead give away.
OK, I thought this could be a government cover up until I saw the picture of pack-man very clever and well written.
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it.
