Our Story
Key West’s UFO Star Watch launched in 2024, nearly a decade after its founder David L. Sloan learned to spot UFOs with night vision technology on a trip to New Mexico.
Sloan had two encounters with UFOs growing up and came across dozens of interesting accounts from the Florida Keys during his work in the paranormal field.
After multiple UFO sightings at Key West’s Fort East Martello in 2023, Sloan purchased a military-grade night vision scope and started taking his friends out to look for strange objects in the sky. Most of them saw things they could not explain. All of them wanted more (two of them now work for us as Sky Guides), so Sloan started putting the Sky Watch together.
Then things got weird.
In November of 2023, Sloan received a call (with caller ID) from a Popeyes Chicken restaurant in Minnesota. The man claimed to have military intelligence about an underwater alien base near Key West and gave Sloan a list of topics to research and connect the dots.
Though Sloan thought the call was a joke from a friend or a real call from a real wackadoo, he started looking into a few of the topics and was entertained by what he found. More of the information started to check out, and Sloan soon found himself thinking that the impossible underwater alien base might possibly exist.
The mystery chicken man had instructed Sloan to look toward the Atlantic Ocean on December 31st if he had any doubts. That night, Sloan was getting ready to check in guests for the ghost tour at Fort East Martello when an illuminated object rose out of the ocean and started to dance in the sky. That was all the convincing Sloan needed. You can check out the video on this page.
Sloan’s still not convinced about every aspect of the Key West conspiracy, but the hidden history alone is fascinating, and he knew it had to be added to the Sky Watch simply for the entertainment value.
Research into the conspiracy continues and will be shared on the UFO Sky Watch until the grays beam us up or the men in black shut us down.
