Florida Man Sees Car Carrier With The Ramp Down, Tries To ‘Send It’ – Fails

Florida Man

I know we've all thought it. If you're old enough, you remember it from the "Dukes Of Hazard". I also remember trying the jump in Grand Theft Auto. Well, if you ever thought about it - don't. When this Florida Man approached the car carrier with its ramp down, well, we're not sure what he was thinking.

This from Venice FL Fire Rescue : "Venice Fire Rescue received a call around 10:30 p.m. Wednesday for a vehicle accident near the intersection of Pinebrook Rd. and Pinebrook Way. A Nissan Maxima traveling south on Pinebrook Rd. drove up a car carrier and crashed near the top, leaving it hanging over the edge precariously close to falling off."

When the crews arrived on scene, the Florida man was still sitting in the car. He was not injured but was instructed to stay in the car until Fire Rescue could stabilize the vehicle. According the Venice Fire Rescue "The driver was cited by VPD for careless driving."

What's unclear is whether or not he did this intentionally. Was he trying to jump his Nissan Maxima over the car carrier? Did he not see it? Unless the Venice Police Department gets us a follow up we'll never know if the Florida Man Car Carrier Jump was intentional. What we do know, is that it didn't work.

There Was Another UFO Sighting In Bradenton Florida, Unknown Craft Photographed Doing ‘At Least 500 MPH’

Bradenton, Florida is starting be known as a UFO town. No, that picture above isn't real. I made that in Photoshop. We're talking about an incident earlier this month that's adding to the Bradenton UFO lore. Bradenton Beach Police Officer Charles Morose was doing a normal patrol along Coquina Beach when he looked up. After that things got interesting.

Along with a Coast Guard plane, he saw something else. Officer Morose told the Anna Maria Sun “I saw a Coast Guard plane flying over the bay, then I watch them turn back toward the Gulf. I thought what the heck is that as I look up and saw a big black thing in the sky. I’m estimating based on the size of the plane in the sky, it was at least the size of a car, or maybe a small aircraft.”

Morose believes he was not the only one who saw the UFO. He says that the Coast Guard plane turned around as if to pursue the unknown object. The object, which until then had remained stationary, suddenly "shot off like a rocket toward the horizon and it was just gone." The officer said that the object "had to be moving at least 500 mph." He fortunately got a picture before it took off.

According to the Anna Maria Sun, who has the picture "The Sun reached out to the Cortez Coast Guard detachment, who forwarded the inquiry to their public relations department. After calls to multiple departments, we were told they would reach out if they had any information, claiming there was no incident reported in the area on the date and time reported by Morose."

UFO sightings in Bradenton Florida have been common.

For instance, there's tweets that date back to 2010. As a result, will Bradenton become the next Area 51 for the UFO crowd. With white sand beaches and E.T in the skies it could be quite a draw.

Many people have claimed to see UFOs in the area. What sets this latest one apart is that there's a picture. And it's a police officer who took it.
