Gulf Breeze, Florida Sightings

Mulderandscully · 06-15-2009, 04:04 AM

Gulf Breeze, Florida, a town with a population of just slightly over 6000, enjoyed their anonymity. But in the winter of 1987, their sleepy little town became the focus of the world.

On November 11, 1987, Edward Walters, a local building contractor, was working late when he noticed a light outside of his window. Peering out, he saw a glowing object partially hidden by the 30 foot pine tree growing in his front yard. Ed went outside to investigate and was afforded a much better, if not stunning view of the unworldly object. He described seeing a top-shaped craft with a row of dark squares with smaller "portals" between them. The object, with its bright, luminous ring around the bottom, hovered slightly above the road. He quickly returned to his house and grabbed his Polaroid camera. Walters took several pictures from his front yard and decided to go into the street for a better view. While standing in the street the object began hovering directly above him. Walters claims that a bright blue "beam of light" shot out of the craft, stunning him as it raised him several feet off of the ground. He heard a voice exclaim "Don't worry, we will not harm you". He then described seeing images of "dogs" flashing in his head "just as if they were turning the pages of a book". He then awoke and the UFO was gone.

Mr Walters faked the photographs. Not only did a few people come forward to admit they helped with the hoax, but a model of the "UFO" was found hidden in a crawl space in the Walters' former home. (They did not expect the new owners to put in a water line for their refrigerator. The new owner went into the crawl space to put in the new connection and found the model.) Many UFO researchers went on to paint the teenage boy who helped with the hoax as a liar. They also ignored previous instances where Mr Walters created hoaxes and pranks. Kevin Randle's book "The Randle Report: UFOs in the 90s" goes into great detail about the case. Still, many people believe the photographs to be real, even though they look very fake.

The sad fact is there was a rash of sightings in the area. That is what made Mr Walters decide to do his hoax. He has written a book on it (along with formerly respected photo analyst Bruce Maccabee), so he has profited on the sighting.

If there is one hoax, then the scientific community will judge all the other cases the same. It is not right, but it is how things are. One bad apple really does spoil the barrel in this case.

well we did see lights on the horizon but it could have been a plane.

I am also guessing many people who actually witnessed flying saucers kept their mouths shut after that fiasco.
