Narrative:
On apr/mon/93 as a private pilot building PIC cross country time, I descended to a low altitude above the terrain approximately 5 mi northeast of immokalee airport. After approximately 50 seconds at this altitude, I felt and heard a loud sound which indicated to me that I had struck an object. I immediately added full power, climbed, and chose to land at immokalee to visually inspect the damage.
