Human Factors
On an assigned heading of 220 in a climb to an assigned altitude of 6;500 FT (flight following) while transitioning through Miami Class-B airspace I noticed a small flying object coming directly at me. We made a small deviation to the right and the object passed at the same altitude in opposing direction; heading northbound towards Miami. The object has no lights and was not under control by Miami Arrivals and appeared to be a small unmanned vehicle. It looked like miniature ultralight with a camera mounted to it. It would have certainly caused significant damage to the engine/airplane.
AA5B pilot reports sighting a possible UAV in MIA Class B airspace at 6;500 FT. A right deviation is made to avoid the craft which MIA ATC is unaware of.
