Someone apparently reported on the Internet that 10 miles South of Marathon, Florida, on Summer 1978, at 10:00 p.m., he was traveling on US-1 near the seven-mile bridge and had just begun to cross a small bridge when he noticed ahead 3 or 4 dancing firefly-like lights that appeared to be very far away.
As he reached the end of the short bridge he parked his car, and saw that the lights were still there. He approached three anglers on the east side of the bridge and asked them about the lights. He was told that they had been watching them all night. As they continued to talk about the lights they suddenly noticed their voices were being echoed down to them from above and just to the east. Every sound they made was being amplified and reflected back to them from above.
As the three anglers began laughing the witness noticed a black area obscuring the stars about 100 feet up and maybe 50 feet east of the bridge. He yelled at the approaching object to come down. Within seconds the black object illuminated itself, appearing as a thick oval shaped craft. It was extremely beautiful and covered with exquisite esoteric devices. Its whole surface was a multicolored array of sparkling light. It seemed to hover silently and motionless.
The other three men suddenly became very quiet. The witness suddenly began to hear a high-speed noise, which seemed to come from below at his feet. Looking down he saw a spiral pattern of lights apparently encircling him; he was then surrounded in a cylindrical grid pattern all the way up to his head level. His surroundings then suddenly disappeared.
He then saw several "persons" that greeted him. He remembered a woman, and he asked them who they were, she replied that they were "Watchers." He felt completely at ease and comfortable, he then began to look around at what he assumes to be the interior of the object. His next conscious memory was waking up in his barracks in Boca Chica Island.

[Ref. ar1:] ALBERT ROSALES:
Albert Rosales indicates in his catalogue that 10 miles South of Marathon, Florida, on Summer 1978, at 2200, the witness was traveling on US-1 near the seven-mile bridge and had just begun to cross a small bridge when he noticed ahead some dancing firefly like lights. They appeared to be very far away. There were 3 or 4 of them. As he reached the end of the short bridge he parked his car, and saw that the lights were still there. He approached three anglers on the east side of the bridge and asked them about the lights. He was told that they had been watching them all night. As they continued to talk about the lights they suddenly noticed their voices were being echoed down to them from above and just to the east.

Albert Rosales indicates that the source is "Internet Sightings."
Without credibility, the story is probably influenced by books from ufologist Raymond Fowler who often talked about "Watchers".
I did not locate the original story on the web.
