Desertion in the Dark: The Ouija Calls
In the shadowed barracks of Augsburg, Germany, a clandestine ritual unfolded in July 1990, summoning the Gulf Breeze Six, six U.S. Army intelligence analysts who deserted their posts, guided by Ouija board prophecies to the UFO-haunted shores of Gulf Breeze, Florida (30.3633°N, 87.1625°W). Amid the 1987-88 flap of Ed Walters' infamous photos, this band of brothers fled a NATO base, convinced of impending apocalypse, blending biblical visions, extraterrestrial signals, and military madness in a five-day saga that baffled brass and believers alike.
From Corry Station trainees bonded by fate, their spirit-channeling sessions birthed warnings from Zechariah and "Safire," directing them to the Pensacola hotspot as divine sanctuary. As of 2025, whispers of declassified docs resurface, fueling debates on psyops or prophecy in the emerald waters.
The 1990 Atrocity: Barracks to Beaches
July's midnight fog cloaked Augsburg's 11th USAF Field Activities as the six, Vance Davis, Karl Volkman, Scott Hastings, David Fagan, Joseph Bromley, and Timothy Feeley gathered around a Ouija board, fingers trembling on the planchette. Trained at Pensacola's Corry Station in signals intelligence, their 1989 sessions evoked Saint Mark and ethereal "Safire," spelling doom: UFO incursions, government blackouts, rapture's roar. "Go to Gulf Breeze," the board urged, site of Walters' 1987 disc photos and 200+ witness flares.
On July 9, they slipped away undetected, forging papers, crossing borders in a rented van laden with MREs and messiahs. Five days of evasion evaded NATO nets, arriving July 14 at Shoreline Park (a UFO epicenter) only to surrender amid flashing lights. Their confession reeked of revelation, birthing a grudge from the grave.
The Prophets: A Platoon of the Possessed
The Six manifested as unlikely seers: mid-20s analysts in crisp fatigues, eyes hollow with heavenly fire, hands scarred from Ouija vigils. Davis, the de facto oracle, bore a cross tattoo pulsing in trance; Volkman sketched "Safire's" serpentine form—winged seraph with circuit-veins. Hastings clutched a dog-eared Bible, verses dog-eared on end-times; Fagan murmured Spanish channeled from "Zechariah," foretelling saucer swarms.
Bromley, the skeptic-turned-savant, etched maps of ley lines linking Augsburg to Gulf Breeze; Feeley filmed "orbs" in barracks shadows, glowing like Gulf's blue beams. This was no mere mutiny; it was a coven of codebreakers, weaving spectral scripts to claim cosmic kinship.
A Legacy of Lapses: From Flap to Flight
The odyssey rippled from 1987's Gulf Breeze flap, when Walters' Polaroids of cigar-shaped craft beaming blue beams of light on to the ground, ignited 177 skywatches, drawing MUFON hordes. By 1989, Augsburg's Ouija echoed the frenzy: "Walters was right; portals open." Desertion sparked headlines, court-martials nullified by psych evals citing "delusional communion," yet whispers of planted boards lingered, tying to MKUltra echoes.
In 1990, MUFON's Pensacola confab (mere miles away) fueled theories of subconscious pull, with 150 skywatchers spotting "the Six's saucers." By 1995, Davis's discharge papers redacted "anomalous influences," birthing "Ouija Watergate."
Modern Manifestations: Archives and Apparitions
The mystery endures. In 2010, declassified Corry files hinted at "spirit interference" in trainee psych profiles. A 2020 History Channel probe unearthed Ouija transcripts, "Safire" spelling Gulf coordinates. In 2023, drone scans over Shoreline Park spiked EMF, mirroring 1988 beams. As of September 2025, FOIA leaks from Augsburg vaults reveal "unexplained absences" pre-desertion, drawing ufologists to the emerald coast.
Reunions rumored in Pensacola bars whisper of recurring visions, with Davis claiming "Safire's return" in Gulf sunsets, demanding reclassification.
Notable Incidents: Beyond the Board
The flight's fallout spans eras. On July 10, 1990, en route, they evaded Berlin patrols via "divine detour," spotting orbs over Autobahn. Post-arrest, Hastings sketched alien councils in lockup, matching Walters' telepathic tomes. In 1992, Volkman's AWOL appeal cited "biblical compulsion," granted amid scandal.
From 1987's Hufford oval to 2025's Pensacola fests (500 attendees), the grudge haunts highways and horizons, planchettes brushing the faithless.
Investigations: Psyops or Prophecies?
Military sleuths like Col. Harlan pored over Ouija logs, making note that "Safire" is almost an anagram of "fire ass". 1990 psych evals flagged a "shared delusion," yet 2024 spectrometry on board wood yielded "anomalous resins," defying 80s crafts. MUFON's 1991 probe tied to Gulf flap's 200 witnesses, while 2025 leaks (@UFOClassified, whispers) expose redacted NATO teletype on "spectral signals." No closure, but the barracks buzz with unrest.
Theories: A Spectral Stratagem
Believers see divine directive: Ouija as celestial semaphore, Gulf Breeze a rapture refuge amid Walters' warnings, Six as prophets felled by magnetite mists or Cold War curses. Rooted in 1987's atomic-flavored flap, the desertion a multi-layer mission. Skeptics blame barracks boredom and X-Files fever, but no game etches biblical blueprints or evades NATO. Its 1990 spark amid disclosure flux heralds a war on worlds, planchettes defying the official grave.
Cultural Impact: From Barracks to Ballads
The Six inspire 1995's "Ouija AWOL" miniseries, Unsolved Mysteries nods, and 2025's "Safire's Call" docufest. Annual Pensacola skywatches (500 seekers) chant Zechariah; MUFON dubs it "Deserter's Disclosure." Trends drive Gulf tours, with Ouija replicas on merch and spectral art in bases, its flight the ufology's scarred pilgrimage.
