1 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,160 Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning. 2 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:08,440 In this episode, we're talking about the Gulf Breeze UFO 3 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,480 incident. That's correct, the Gulf Breeze 4 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:15,880 UFO incident. So back in late 1987 and early 5 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:20,560 1988, a series of UFO sightings occurred in the town of Gulf 6 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,200 Breeze, FL. The most famous of these 7 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,120 sightings was made by Ed Walters, a local contractor. 8 00:00:26,740 --> 00:00:31,900 On November 11th, 1987, Walters took five Polaroid photos of a 9 00:00:31,900 --> 00:00:35,300 triangular object hovering in the sky near his home. 10 00:00:35,740 --> 00:00:39,060 The photos were widely circulated in the media and were 11 00:00:39,060 --> 00:00:42,220 seen by millions of people. Now, Walters claimed that he was 12 00:00:42,220 --> 00:00:46,460 immobilized by a blue beam of light before taking the photos. 13 00:00:46,940 --> 00:00:50,420 He also said that he saw the object land on the ground and 14 00:00:50,420 --> 00:00:53,670 then take off again. Other witnesses came forward to 15 00:00:53,670 --> 00:00:57,190 report seeing similar objects in the sky Around the same time. 16 00:00:57,830 --> 00:01:01,590 The UFO photos were analyzed by a number of experts, including 17 00:01:01,590 --> 00:01:04,629 Bruce McCabe, a well respected UFO researcher. 18 00:01:04,910 --> 00:01:08,470 And if you've ever seen McCabe's work, he's really seems like a 19 00:01:08,470 --> 00:01:12,030 credible, intelligent guy to me. Now, McCabe concluded that the 20 00:01:12,030 --> 00:01:15,430 photos were genuine and could not be explained by any known 21 00:01:15,430 --> 00:01:17,470 hoaxes. However, other experts 22 00:01:17,470 --> 00:01:20,950 disagreed, and some even accused Walters of faking the photos. 23 00:01:21,420 --> 00:01:24,900 The Gulf Breeze UFO incident remains a mystery to this day. 24 00:01:25,380 --> 00:01:28,020 There's no definitive proof that objects seen by Walters and 25 00:01:28,020 --> 00:01:30,540 others were actually UF O's, but the photos and eyewitness 26 00:01:30,540 --> 00:01:32,940 accounts are certainly compelling. 27 00:01:33,180 --> 00:01:36,780 Now, for UFO believers like us, the Gulf Breeze incident is one 28 00:01:36,780 --> 00:01:40,660 of the most convincing cases of alien visitation ever recorded. 29 00:01:41,340 --> 00:01:44,020 And we go on, we find out that some of the evidence that the 30 00:01:44,020 --> 00:01:48,100 UFO believers point to, his proof, and I think really makes 31 00:01:48,100 --> 00:01:51,640 this case so unique, is that the photos taken by Ed Walters were 32 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,880 clear. They're well focused, and they 33 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,760 show a strange object that doesn't match any known 34 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,120 aircraft. Now, the photos were taken by a 35 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,160 credible witness, and Walters doesn't have a history of 36 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:03,720 hoaxing. You talk about a guy that's a 37 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,160 member of the community, he's taking his pictures. 38 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,639 And you got to admit, if these things were hoax, it would take 39 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,000 an awful lot of work. Now, other witnesses came 40 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,720 forward to report seeing similar objects in the sky around the 41 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,310 same time. The experts who analyzed the 42 00:02:16,310 --> 00:02:20,110 photos were unable to find any evidence that they were fake. 43 00:02:20,590 --> 00:02:23,270 So here you go again. I mean, the guy comes forward, 44 00:02:23,550 --> 00:02:27,310 he has these pictures, they are examined by an expert. 45 00:02:27,310 --> 00:02:30,350 He says they look real to me. And then the debunkers come in 46 00:02:30,350 --> 00:02:32,990 and say, oh, well, those are hoaxed, but they don't give any 47 00:02:32,990 --> 00:02:36,110 evidence. It looks like to me, Mr. Walters 48 00:02:36,110 --> 00:02:37,790 is the one presenting all of the evidence. 49 00:02:38,030 --> 00:02:40,790 Now of course, there are also some skeptics who believe that 50 00:02:40,790 --> 00:02:44,390 the Gulf Breeze UFO incident was a hoax, and they point the fact 51 00:02:44,390 --> 00:02:46,910 that Walters had a history of financial problems and they 52 00:02:46,910 --> 00:02:50,310 argue that he may affect the photos in order to make money. 53 00:02:50,310 --> 00:02:54,030 However, the evidence for the Hook theory is not as strong as 54 00:02:54,030 --> 00:02:57,110 evidence for the UFO theory. Ultimately, the truth about the 55 00:02:57,110 --> 00:03:00,270 Gulf Breeze UFO is unknown. However, the photos and 56 00:03:00,270 --> 00:03:02,870 eyewitness accounts are certainly compelling and they 57 00:03:02,870 --> 00:03:06,190 continue to be a source of fascination around the world. 58 00:03:06,390 --> 00:03:08,230 I think this is just a really cool case. 59 00:03:08,230 --> 00:03:10,670 We're going to get into a couple articles about this right now. 60 00:03:11,090 --> 00:03:13,450 Now the first article that we're looking at comes to us from the 61 00:03:13,450 --> 00:03:17,450 Palm Beach Post and it's dated October 15th, 2020. 62 00:03:17,450 --> 00:03:21,770 Written by Elliott Kleinberg. It says Florida time the Gulf 63 00:03:21,770 --> 00:03:24,650 Breeze UFO sightings. It's got it's got one of the 64 00:03:24,650 --> 00:03:27,490 pictures here of this UFO of that was purportedly 65 00:03:27,490 --> 00:03:29,530 photographed. I'll put up links on the buy me 66 00:03:29,530 --> 00:03:32,170 a coffee website and somebody made a comment there today that 67 00:03:32,170 --> 00:03:33,970 hey, why don't you put up the links? 68 00:03:34,290 --> 00:03:37,270 Well, normally I do. This week I was trying to find 69 00:03:37,270 --> 00:03:39,270 another car, so I got a little bit busy doing that. 70 00:03:39,270 --> 00:03:42,750 But if you go to buy me a coffee website, you can normally find 71 00:03:42,750 --> 00:03:45,750 the links over there. And as always, thanks to the 72 00:03:45,750 --> 00:03:48,270 folks that make contributions over there and at the Spotify 73 00:03:48,270 --> 00:03:50,910 website. And don't forget to like and 74 00:03:50,910 --> 00:03:53,830 follow wherever you're listening to the podcast at, because it 75 00:03:53,830 --> 00:03:56,390 doesn't cost anything now, the article says. 76 00:03:57,330 --> 00:04:00,890 Ed and Francis Walters claimed that the dozens of photographs 77 00:04:00,930 --> 00:04:04,850 and a one minute 38 second video that Ed shot in a six month span 78 00:04:04,850 --> 00:04:09,450 from November 1987 to May 1988 were those spaceships over their 79 00:04:09,450 --> 00:04:11,690 home and Gulf Breeze, a Pensacola suburb. 80 00:04:12,250 --> 00:04:14,490 They weren't alone. A City Council member said he 81 00:04:14,490 --> 00:04:19,250 saw Bright saw a bright orange object fly over on March 17th, 82 00:04:19,250 --> 00:04:22,490 1988. A retired newspaper publisher 83 00:04:22,490 --> 00:04:26,170 said he saw it too. So did a doctor, a chemical 84 00:04:26,170 --> 00:04:29,650 engineer and his wife. About 100 witnesses and all 85 00:04:29,690 --> 00:04:34,130 backed Walter's claims. Now just think about that. 100 86 00:04:34,130 --> 00:04:35,930 people. These guys sound pretty 87 00:04:35,930 --> 00:04:37,850 reliable. I mean, a chemical engineer, a 88 00:04:37,850 --> 00:04:41,290 newspaper publisher, a doctor, City Council member. 89 00:04:42,250 --> 00:04:44,810 You know, you got to give some, you got to give some weight to 90 00:04:44,810 --> 00:04:47,970 these eyewitness accounts. Gulf Breeze is not the first 91 00:04:47,970 --> 00:04:50,010 place in Florida to report sightings. 92 00:04:50,410 --> 00:04:53,730 Indian legends, settler folklore, police affidavits and 93 00:04:53,730 --> 00:04:57,770 numerous formal reports to the Mutual UFO Network all detailed 94 00:04:57,770 --> 00:05:00,330 people's convictions that something's out there in the 95 00:05:00,330 --> 00:05:02,690 skies over Florida and they saw it. 96 00:05:04,610 --> 00:05:07,090 Ed Walters didn't just see the ships, he says. 97 00:05:07,490 --> 00:05:12,010 They burned his grass and shot a beam of unearthly blue light 98 00:05:12,090 --> 00:05:16,110 that once froze his legs to the ground, and another time missed 99 00:05:16,110 --> 00:05:19,950 his wife by inches while he captured the encounter on film. 100 00:05:20,270 --> 00:05:22,670 Almost seems like maybe this was an attempted abduction. 101 00:05:23,190 --> 00:05:25,990 He reported hearing in his mind both the instructions of the 102 00:05:26,030 --> 00:05:29,750 aliens and discussions of earthlings he believes were 103 00:05:29,750 --> 00:05:33,750 being held aboard the ships. Now that would be a terrible, 104 00:05:33,750 --> 00:05:37,470 just terrorizing thought. He said he saw an alien standing 105 00:05:37,470 --> 00:05:41,810 outside his window and his bed. There's a 90 minute stretch for 106 00:05:41,810 --> 00:05:45,130 which he said he can't account. That, he said ended with him 107 00:05:45,130 --> 00:05:48,650 waking up face down on the beach, sand in his mouth. 108 00:05:49,130 --> 00:05:51,810 He believes he was a victim of alien abduction. 109 00:05:52,610 --> 00:05:54,970 I would really be interested if the guy has had any kind of 110 00:05:55,090 --> 00:05:58,010 examination for implants. The Walters called the 111 00:05:58,010 --> 00:06:01,690 encounters the most astounding multiple sightings of UFO's in 112 00:06:01,690 --> 00:06:04,770 U.S. history in their book The Gulf Breeze Sightings, which 113 00:06:04,770 --> 00:06:06,850 were followed by another book four years later. 114 00:06:07,450 --> 00:06:11,610 What naively we did was think by writing it down it would stop 115 00:06:11,610 --> 00:06:14,970 people like you from calling. Francis Walters laughed in a 116 00:06:14,970 --> 00:06:19,610 1996 telephone interview with this writer for my book Weird 117 00:06:19,610 --> 00:06:22,770 Florida. How wrong we were, she said. 118 00:06:23,250 --> 00:06:25,970 Cities critics said the whole thing was a hoax. 119 00:06:26,050 --> 00:06:30,090 A reporter said he found a UFO model in Walter's attic, and 120 00:06:30,090 --> 00:06:32,810 others challenged the photographs as double exposure 121 00:06:32,810 --> 00:06:36,800 prints the products of a faulty Polaroid and pictures of red 122 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,280 balloons. The naysayers hadn't changed 123 00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:43,040 their mind. And then it has a a link here to 124 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,440 another article. Others still insisted it really 125 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,360 did happen. Walters, a building contractor 126 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,320 by profession, told me in 1996 that he could not explain why 127 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,320 his personal ordeal stopped at the end of that six month 128 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,480 stretch quote. Often there are questions like 129 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,660 that that can only be answered by the beings responsible for 130 00:07:01,660 --> 00:07:03,780 the UF O's, whatever they might be, he said. 131 00:07:04,180 --> 00:07:06,980 It's not something that's within our grasp to even understand, 132 00:07:06,980 --> 00:07:09,700 wow. Well, what gets me about this 133 00:07:09,700 --> 00:07:13,420 case is all of the hundred other people that saw these things. 134 00:07:13,780 --> 00:07:16,900 So, I mean, you can question the photographs. 135 00:07:16,900 --> 00:07:21,860 You're going to question the the experience of Ed and Francis 136 00:07:21,860 --> 00:07:25,380 Walters, but what about the hundred other reliable witnesses 137 00:07:25,380 --> 00:07:27,660 that seen these things and the pictures? 138 00:07:27,990 --> 00:07:30,870 You know, it is 1987. It's not like he's got a, you 139 00:07:30,870 --> 00:07:35,670 know, an Apple or iPhone or Samsung 23 or whatever that he's 140 00:07:35,670 --> 00:07:38,310 out here photographing these things with. 141 00:07:38,750 --> 00:07:43,150 So even in spite of that, we this is still, no matter even if 142 00:07:43,150 --> 00:07:47,110 the pictures would were to be disproven today, this is still a 143 00:07:47,110 --> 00:07:49,230 mass sighting. Now let's look at this next 144 00:07:49,230 --> 00:07:51,830 article. So we see this article from 145 00:07:51,870 --> 00:07:54,390 ufoinsight.com. I think they do a lot of good 146 00:07:54,390 --> 00:07:57,230 work over there. The title says one of the most 147 00:07:57,230 --> 00:08:00,630 divisive cases in history, the Gulf Breeze UFO Encounters. 148 00:08:00,950 --> 00:08:04,670 It's written by Marcus Lauth. He begins by saying an apparent 149 00:08:04,670 --> 00:08:07,870 wave of close contact, UFO encounters and even possible 150 00:08:07,910 --> 00:08:11,350 alien abductions that unfolded in Gulf Breeze, FL in the late 151 00:08:11,350 --> 00:08:16,150 1980s remains one of the most intriguing and divisive cases in 152 00:08:16,150 --> 00:08:19,000 UFO history. What was initially regarded by 153 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,240 many as one of the best UFO sightings, complete with 154 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,960 photographic evidence of recent times captured by the main 155 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:30,520 witnesses, Ed Walters quickly descended into claims of a hoax 156 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,880 and counterclaims of attempts to discredit the main witness. 157 00:08:34,039 --> 00:08:37,360 Indeed, the case remains a topic of discussion and UFO circles 158 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,799 today, almost 4 decades later. Yeah, you had this sighting, you 159 00:08:40,799 --> 00:08:43,240 had these pictures and you had a hundred other people. 160 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,480 See the saying. Many, many reliable witnesses, 161 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:51,530 but it kind of all became about Walters and the pictures that he 162 00:08:51,530 --> 00:08:53,930 took. Now, he says, what is further 163 00:08:53,930 --> 00:08:56,090 interesting about the Gulf Breeze at UFO sightings, and 164 00:08:56,090 --> 00:08:58,690 something that lends a touch of potential credibility to 165 00:08:58,690 --> 00:09:02,050 Walter's version of events, is that many other residents of the 166 00:09:02,050 --> 00:09:05,450 region also begin making reports of very similar aerial 167 00:09:05,450 --> 00:09:08,450 anomalies, almost all of whom had no connection to the 168 00:09:08,450 --> 00:09:11,130 witness. And adding a further twist are 169 00:09:11,130 --> 00:09:14,210 the hints that Walter Sightings, at least some of them, might 170 00:09:14,210 --> 00:09:16,610 have also been cases of alien abduction. 171 00:09:17,170 --> 00:09:20,770 The Gulf Breeze at UFO Sightings takes us down many twists and 172 00:09:20,770 --> 00:09:24,930 turns and just could be a case with secrets left to reveal, 173 00:09:25,530 --> 00:09:28,210 Gazanna says. A bizarre craft hovering outside 174 00:09:28,370 --> 00:09:32,010 and the curious events began over Gulf Breeze on the evening 175 00:09:32,050 --> 00:09:36,680 of November 11th, 1987, when a local building contractor, Ed 176 00:09:36,680 --> 00:09:39,880 Walters, was working late at his home when he noticed a strange 177 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,480 light outside his property. Intrigued, he made his way to 178 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,800 the window to see what the source of the glow might be. 179 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:50,040 Amazed, he could see a glowing object hovering in the sky, 180 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,680 although his view was partially obscured by a tree outside his 181 00:09:53,680 --> 00:09:56,240 house. Wanting to get a better view, 182 00:09:56,560 --> 00:09:58,640 Walters immediately ventured outside. 183 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,640 As soon as he stepped outside, he realized he was viewing 184 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,750 something out of the ordinary. He would later describe the 185 00:10:04,790 --> 00:10:09,430 object as a top shaped craft with a circle of bright lights 186 00:10:09,430 --> 00:10:12,190 on the underside. Around the edges were what 187 00:10:12,190 --> 00:10:15,790 appeared to be dark square windows that were separated by 188 00:10:15,790 --> 00:10:18,710 portals. So he's having a full on UFO 189 00:10:18,710 --> 00:10:21,550 sighting here. I mean, detail one of these 190 00:10:21,550 --> 00:10:23,590 common sightings we see. We're talking about seeing the 191 00:10:23,590 --> 00:10:26,710 portals around the craft. You know, basically tell us hey 192 00:10:26,710 --> 00:10:29,710 there's somebody in there and they're looking outside, it 193 00:10:29,710 --> 00:10:31,110 says. After taking in the surreal 194 00:10:31,110 --> 00:10:34,190 events, he quickly rushed inside his property in order to 195 00:10:34,190 --> 00:10:37,750 retrieve his Polaroid camera. He then rushed back outside and 196 00:10:37,750 --> 00:10:40,550 quickly snapped several pictures of the aerial anomaly from his 197 00:10:40,550 --> 00:10:42,710 front yard. Remember pre cell phone? 198 00:10:42,990 --> 00:10:46,910 Wanting to get a better view, he left his yard, stepped out onto 199 00:10:46,910 --> 00:10:49,670 the street and headed close to the hovering otherworldly 200 00:10:49,670 --> 00:10:52,510 vehicles, taking several more pictures as he did so. 201 00:10:53,270 --> 00:10:56,590 A moment later the object headed in his direction and then 202 00:10:56,590 --> 00:10:58,710 hovered directly over where he was standing. 203 00:10:59,270 --> 00:11:02,670 Then things would turn even stranger as he looked up at the 204 00:11:02,670 --> 00:11:04,950 craft. A sudden bright blue beam of 205 00:11:04,950 --> 00:11:07,670 light came from the underside and struck him. 206 00:11:08,150 --> 00:11:11,110 He would state that the force of the light was so strong that he 207 00:11:11,110 --> 00:11:13,790 was even lifted several feet off the ground. 208 00:11:14,150 --> 00:11:16,510 And this reminds me of these people who see these blue beams 209 00:11:16,510 --> 00:11:20,830 come out of these things and and even pick up cattle say beaming 210 00:11:20,830 --> 00:11:23,870 them up to the ship. And I don't know what it is 211 00:11:23,870 --> 00:11:27,350 about the color blue, but that is so common in these sightings. 212 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,440 He later described the moment to a local newspaper, saying that 213 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:34,120 it was that as soon as light hit him, he was unable to move his 214 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,520 arms and that his entire body appeared blue. 215 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,800 He further recalled that he was trying to breathe, but my chest 216 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,640 wouldn't expand. At the same time, a voice 217 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,440 appeared in his head stating that he should not worry and 218 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:50,560 that we will not harm you. Despite these assurances, Walter 219 00:11:50,560 --> 00:11:53,870 screamed to be put down. He also recalled A piercing 220 00:11:53,870 --> 00:11:56,470 smell, a little scent of pneumonia mixed with the heavy 221 00:11:56,470 --> 00:12:00,150 cinnamon that he said scorched, then stuck to the back of his 222 00:12:00,150 --> 00:12:04,350 throat. Now, this doesn't sound like a 223 00:12:04,350 --> 00:12:06,590 situation where they're all sitting around the campfire 224 00:12:06,590 --> 00:12:10,350 singing Kumbaya. This is a this is clearly an 225 00:12:10,350 --> 00:12:13,510 abduction, a clear, clearly a criminal abduction. 226 00:12:13,510 --> 00:12:17,670 This guy's being taken against his will aboard this craft, the 227 00:12:17,670 --> 00:12:20,190 article continues. It says things then turn even 228 00:12:20,190 --> 00:12:25,960 more bizarre as he began seeing pictures and images of dogs in 229 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,080 his head, further describing this as if he was turning pages 230 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,760 in a book. In his mind while humming sounds 231 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,560 begin resonating in his head. This is almost some sort of 232 00:12:34,560 --> 00:12:36,880 cognitive distance technique I think, where they're putting 233 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,200 this guy in a state of hypnosis so that he's not aware of what 234 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,720 they're doing to him. Really devious. 235 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,920 The next memory he had was waking up on the ground. 236 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,120 He looked up around him. The strange craft was nowhere to 237 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:53,750 was now nowhere to be seen, days perplexed and a little ah, what 238 00:12:53,750 --> 00:12:55,630 he just at what had just transpired. 239 00:12:55,830 --> 00:12:58,590 Walters returned to his house with his photographs after 240 00:12:58,590 --> 00:13:00,830 remaining quiet about the incident for almost a week. 241 00:13:00,830 --> 00:13:03,670 On the afternoon of the 17th of November he made the decision to 242 00:13:03,670 --> 00:13:06,630 contact the local newspaper, the Gulf Breeze Sentinel. 243 00:13:06,990 --> 00:13:10,630 He met with the editor and told him of the bizarre events six 244 00:13:10,630 --> 00:13:12,990 nights previously, as well as presenting him with his 245 00:13:12,990 --> 00:13:16,310 photographic evidence. However, he would do so under 246 00:13:16,310 --> 00:13:19,390 the guise of having been given the pictures and relaying an 247 00:13:19,390 --> 00:13:22,660 anonymous person's account. However, as the days and weeks 248 00:13:22,660 --> 00:13:25,100 went on, Walter would claim for would would claim further 249 00:13:25,100 --> 00:13:28,620 sightings, eventually admitting that it was he, and not his 250 00:13:28,620 --> 00:13:30,860 anonymous friend who was a witness to these bizarre 251 00:13:30,860 --> 00:13:33,820 happenings. It sounds like maybe he was just 252 00:13:33,820 --> 00:13:35,980 a little bit too freaked out by this whole situation to come 253 00:13:35,980 --> 00:13:37,420 forward and say hey, it's happened to me. 254 00:13:37,900 --> 00:13:40,420 So he gets off to a little bit of a bumming start, but finally 255 00:13:40,420 --> 00:13:43,420 then he makes the revelations. And then, of course, everything 256 00:13:43,420 --> 00:13:46,050 just breaks loose. Says on the evening of the 257 00:13:46,050 --> 00:13:48,490 November 20th, Walters claimed to suddenly be able to hear 258 00:13:48,490 --> 00:13:51,610 voices coming from somewhere, as well as a hum that had filled 259 00:13:51,610 --> 00:13:53,170 his head during his initial encounter. 260 00:13:53,850 --> 00:13:55,690 This is something else that we hear sometimes, but these 261 00:13:55,690 --> 00:13:59,170 abduction cases and that is that that that people are spoken to 262 00:13:59,170 --> 00:14:01,370 telepathically by things. And then after they get back 263 00:14:01,370 --> 00:14:03,530 home, even away from the ship, they're still hearing these 264 00:14:03,530 --> 00:14:05,810 telepathic voices. And this just sounds like a 265 00:14:05,810 --> 00:14:09,450 terrible situation to me. I mean, I would be looking for 266 00:14:09,450 --> 00:14:13,670 relief from that, he says. He left what he was doing and 267 00:14:13,670 --> 00:14:15,910 made his way outside. Once there, he could see a 268 00:14:15,910 --> 00:14:18,350 glowing orb like object that was descending. 269 00:14:18,990 --> 00:14:21,350 Then it stopped and hovered in place for several moments 270 00:14:21,350 --> 00:14:23,310 allowing him to take a picture of it. 271 00:14:23,870 --> 00:14:28,630 So second encounter several weeks later, at around 3:30 AM 272 00:14:28,630 --> 00:14:31,070 in the early hours of the 2nd of December, the family's pet 273 00:14:31,070 --> 00:14:33,790 dragged Williams from sleep with his sudden barking. 274 00:14:34,150 --> 00:14:36,470 Walters got out of bed and headed to the fridge doors where 275 00:14:36,470 --> 00:14:39,070 the dog had his focus. Cautiously he opened the blinds 276 00:14:39,070 --> 00:14:43,540 and was beyond shock to see a strange figure standing directly 277 00:14:43,540 --> 00:14:46,780 outside looking at him. He described this creature as 278 00:14:46,780 --> 00:14:49,620 being around 4 feet tall, with a particularly large head and 279 00:14:49,620 --> 00:14:52,700 large black eyes, and they have an image of a Gray alien here. 280 00:14:52,700 --> 00:14:54,900 You can imagine open your curtains up in your front door 281 00:14:54,900 --> 00:14:57,860 and seeing this Gray alien standing there staring at you, 282 00:14:57,940 --> 00:15:00,420 stalking you. He would further claim that he 283 00:15:00,420 --> 00:15:03,380 was so surprised at the sight that he momentarily fell to the 284 00:15:03,380 --> 00:15:07,220 ground and shocked after two. After the two locked stairs for 285 00:15:07,220 --> 00:15:09,700 several moments, the strange figure turned around and began 286 00:15:09,700 --> 00:15:13,670 to walk away. Wow, that is so weird at this 287 00:15:13,670 --> 00:15:15,350 point. Walters opened the doors and 288 00:15:15,350 --> 00:15:18,870 began to pursue the creature after taking only a few steps. 289 00:15:18,870 --> 00:15:24,470 However, the same bright blue bleam of after taking only a few 290 00:15:24,470 --> 00:15:27,990 steps, however, the same bright blue beam of light rapidly 291 00:15:27,990 --> 00:15:30,350 descended from above and instantly paralyzed him. 292 00:15:30,910 --> 00:15:34,070 He looked on as a small figure headed off into a field and 293 00:15:34,070 --> 00:15:38,310 disappeared from sight. A moment later, the blue beam 294 00:15:38,310 --> 00:15:40,790 retracted and he could move once more. 295 00:15:41,470 --> 00:15:44,030 Already with his camera in his hand, he took a picture of the 296 00:15:44,070 --> 00:15:46,910 object now hovering over the field where the creature headed, 297 00:15:47,350 --> 00:15:49,030 shooting a blue beam down to the ground. 298 00:15:49,270 --> 00:15:52,790 Walter stated that it was his belief that the second beam was 299 00:15:52,790 --> 00:15:56,030 picking up the creature that had been outside his house, and 300 00:15:56,030 --> 00:15:57,230 these pictures are really something. 301 00:15:57,230 --> 00:16:00,830 I definitely go to the buy me a coffee website and link this 302 00:16:00,830 --> 00:16:02,110 article and look at these pictures. 303 00:16:02,390 --> 00:16:04,670 Only two nights later, in the early hours of the 5th of 304 00:16:04,670 --> 00:16:06,470 December, yet another incident occurred. 305 00:16:07,210 --> 00:16:09,890 Once more. He was dragged mysteriously from 306 00:16:09,890 --> 00:16:12,810 sleep and witnessed the object again, this time hovering over 307 00:16:12,810 --> 00:16:14,810 the high school that was near Walter's home. 308 00:16:15,290 --> 00:16:18,050 After several moments, the object descended, although 309 00:16:18,050 --> 00:16:21,450 Walters could tell it hovered just above the ground or it 310 00:16:21,450 --> 00:16:25,410 actually landed. By this time, not only had many 311 00:16:25,410 --> 00:16:28,930 in the local community heard of Walter's claims, but so did UFO 312 00:16:28,930 --> 00:16:32,330 investigators and organizations, and one of these was MUFON, who 313 00:16:32,330 --> 00:16:35,650 had contacted Walters in order to conduct an investigation into 314 00:16:35,650 --> 00:16:39,000 the Intimatic affair. After examining the photographs 315 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,280 and listening in detail to Walter's accounts, they were 316 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,520 largely impressed, even describing it as one of the most 317 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,840 credible cases in modern UFO history. 318 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,640 They had even provided Walters with specialized cameras and 319 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:55,000 equipment so that he could capture clearer images should he 320 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,240 have any further encounters. Now it has an image here, just 321 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,120 kind of a bright yellow ball of light. 322 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,880 I think the ship pictures he took are actually better, but 323 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:05,280 you can you can judge for yourself. 324 00:17:06,010 --> 00:17:08,530 Investigators also begin to collect other sightings from 325 00:17:08,530 --> 00:17:10,369 Gulf Breeze and nearby residents. 326 00:17:10,369 --> 00:17:13,329 One of these even occurred on the same day as Walter's initial 327 00:17:13,329 --> 00:17:14,810 sighting on the 11th of November. 328 00:17:15,170 --> 00:17:19,849 Several hours earlier, at around 4:30 AM, Arthur Hufford claimed 329 00:17:19,849 --> 00:17:22,050 that on the afternoon in question, he and his wife 330 00:17:22,050 --> 00:17:24,970 witnessed an object that looked exactly like the one 331 00:17:24,970 --> 00:17:28,690 photographed by Walters hovering over the trees in Pensacola. 332 00:17:29,170 --> 00:17:33,030 In an article of Hufford's Report, Jackie Brooks wrote in 333 00:17:33,030 --> 00:17:36,270 the News Journal that he was a quiet, sober, involved, 334 00:17:36,270 --> 00:17:38,870 intelligent man and somebody you would trust to tell the truth. 335 00:17:39,310 --> 00:17:41,430 Then it goes on, it says. In the same article, she also 336 00:17:41,430 --> 00:17:44,750 highlighted a similar sighting by Doctor Ferner McConnell and 337 00:17:44,750 --> 00:17:47,710 described him as a well respected man in the community. 338 00:17:48,790 --> 00:17:52,310 And like Hufford, his account was corroborated by his wife. 339 00:17:52,310 --> 00:17:53,790 So you got two different couples here. 340 00:17:54,150 --> 00:17:56,870 Both people were well respected in the community seeing the same 341 00:17:56,870 --> 00:18:00,270 thing that Walters has and then it goes on talks a little bit 342 00:18:00,270 --> 00:18:01,630 about some of the debunking claims. 343 00:18:01,630 --> 00:18:04,070 I'm not going to get into that. I I really don't even care about 344 00:18:04,070 --> 00:18:05,750 it because the pictures are good. 345 00:18:05,750 --> 00:18:08,950 What I like about this case the most and what I find to be the 346 00:18:08,950 --> 00:18:12,230 most, the the the most impressive is not necessarily 347 00:18:12,230 --> 00:18:15,110 the pictures but the fact that this was a mass sighting. 348 00:18:15,910 --> 00:18:21,230 You had Walters see these videos or see these the the these, a 349 00:18:21,230 --> 00:18:25,230 UFO take pictures of it, but you had a hundred other people 350 00:18:25,230 --> 00:18:28,240 witness this thing and that's what seems to get so little 351 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:32,280 attention about all this. It goes on and says. 352 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,760 Despite the skeptics however, further sightings of bizarre 353 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,720 objects hovering and moving over the regions continue to unfold, 354 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,200 with Walters himself recording the several more apparent close 355 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,560 encounters. Indeed, although he although he 356 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,320 began by giving his information under the guise of a go between, 357 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,880 he would quickly become a celebrity in the state of 358 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,080 Florida and even appearing on several television shows that 359 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,440 wish to examine his apparent evidence of visitation. 360 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,620 Well, here's, here's the problem with this. 361 00:19:00,580 --> 00:19:04,260 Anytime you have somebody that just that just becomes so famous 362 00:19:04,260 --> 00:19:07,860 for one of these sightings, the thing I find is a lot of times 363 00:19:08,020 --> 00:19:12,020 that individual just becomes a lightning rod, unfortunately. 364 00:19:12,380 --> 00:19:15,780 And just think about it. If you've got the entire power 365 00:19:15,780 --> 00:19:19,220 of the national media behind it and they wanted to person you, 366 00:19:19,740 --> 00:19:22,980 they're probably going to find something to the person you 367 00:19:22,980 --> 00:19:26,080 with. And if you look at the story and 368 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,760 do a little bit of background research on it like I have, it 369 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:32,800 seems like that as so many times, the media just focused in 370 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,880 on this one guy and these pictures and just glossed over 371 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:40,800 or ignored the fact that this was a mass sighting over 100 372 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,230 people. And you had lots and lots of 373 00:19:43,230 --> 00:19:47,870 very credible people, doctors, engineers, City Council member, 374 00:19:48,550 --> 00:19:49,950 people seeing this with their wives. 375 00:19:49,950 --> 00:19:53,390 At the same time, people that had had a lot to lose 376 00:19:53,390 --> 00:19:57,430 reputational wise had nothing to gain financial wise. 377 00:19:57,430 --> 00:19:59,630 Now they'll come out and they'll say, well, Walters wrote a book, 378 00:19:59,630 --> 00:20:02,430 Walter was on TV, he was trying to get out of debt, blah, blah, 379 00:20:02,430 --> 00:20:03,670 blah. I don't know about any of that. 380 00:20:04,420 --> 00:20:07,580 But there was no reason for this medical doctor or this local, 381 00:20:07,780 --> 00:20:10,540 you know, City Council member or the engineer. 382 00:20:10,540 --> 00:20:12,460 None of these guys, they had nice quiet lives. 383 00:20:12,580 --> 00:20:15,620 They were doing just fine. They didn't need the attention, 384 00:20:16,420 --> 00:20:20,580 but they had the the courage and the character to come forward 385 00:20:20,580 --> 00:20:24,220 and report what they saw. And it matched what Walters was 386 00:20:24,220 --> 00:20:27,220 telling us. So at some point, if there's a 387 00:20:27,500 --> 00:20:31,620 criminal trial and 10 people saw a guy rob a bank in broad 388 00:20:31,620 --> 00:20:35,880 daylight and nine of those people say, yeah, I saw the I 389 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,360 saw the guy that robbed the bank and this is a description. 390 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,760 And the 10th person that says, yeah, I was there and I saw the 391 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:46,240 guy that robbed the bank, his description matches, but maybe 392 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,240 he has a history that, well, this guy, he's got an 393 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:53,160 alternative motive, maybe he's got financial problems or maybe 394 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,000 he's an attention seeker. That's not going to probably do 395 00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:00,480 much good for the bank robber. The evidence of those nine 396 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:05,280 people that all agree is going to outweigh any evidence to the 397 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,560 contrary of that tenth person who happens to agree with them. 398 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:14,680 So this idea that we can destroy this report based on questions 399 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,360 about one person who took the pictures, all right, it just 400 00:21:18,360 --> 00:21:21,280 kind of shows you where we're at in this whole discovery of the 401 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,520 UFO phenomenon. Now before I finish up just to 402 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,160 show that this stuff's been going on, this Gulf Breeze 403 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:31,140 region down there seems to be a real hotbed for UFFUFO activity. 404 00:21:31,140 --> 00:21:33,380 All the time I'm seeing reports show up and I don't know if 405 00:21:33,380 --> 00:21:36,740 there's some kind of a underwater UFO base down there 406 00:21:36,980 --> 00:21:39,620 or if this is just a convenient place for them to go in and out 407 00:21:39,620 --> 00:21:41,420 of. But I found this account from 408 00:21:41,940 --> 00:21:48,860 May 14th, 2019 on weartv.com. It says Florida Man captures 409 00:21:48,860 --> 00:21:52,020 video of UFO sighting in Golf Breeze and you can watch the 410 00:21:52,020 --> 00:21:54,700 video here at the link. It says an unidentified flying 411 00:21:54,700 --> 00:21:58,020 object was seen flying over the Midway area in Santa Rosa 412 00:21:58,020 --> 00:22:01,140 County. According to George Sheldon the 413 00:22:01,140 --> 00:22:03,940 Third, a witness who captured the whole incident on his cell 414 00:22:03,940 --> 00:22:06,940 phone, video stated he saw a bright light flashing like a 415 00:22:06,940 --> 00:22:11,460 beacon in the sky on Monday night around 11:30 PM Central 416 00:22:11,460 --> 00:22:13,300 Daylight Time. So it come a long way since 417 00:22:13,300 --> 00:22:16,220 1988. I mean Polaroid pictures back 418 00:22:16,220 --> 00:22:19,060 then. Today we have these highfalutin 419 00:22:19,060 --> 00:22:21,740 cell phones. It can tell you exactly where 420 00:22:21,740 --> 00:22:24,940 you were at when you took the picture, but we don't get any 421 00:22:24,940 --> 00:22:26,180 credit from the debunkers, do we? 422 00:22:26,460 --> 00:22:28,780 Sheldon said the craft appeared over the southern sky near 423 00:22:28,780 --> 00:22:31,980 Midway and Gulf Breeze. The witness told us the object 424 00:22:31,980 --> 00:22:34,820 was in front of the clouds and caused them to illuminate. 425 00:22:35,060 --> 00:22:38,140 Think about that. See this big bright light? 426 00:22:38,140 --> 00:22:41,700 And it's so bright that it's lighting up the clouds behind 427 00:22:41,700 --> 00:22:43,180 it. And that's got to be something, 428 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,080 Sheldon said. He quickly grabbed his camera to 429 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,680 capture the sightings and repeated quote. 430 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,840 He's never seen a light like this before. 431 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,600 I can believe it. Channel 3 News asked Sheldon 432 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,720 when he thought the object was. And he said it's the first time 433 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,400 he's ever seen anything odd or out of the ordinary due to him 434 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,680 being an avid skywatcher. But Dallas, it's a military 435 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:06,840 aircraft. Yeah, I have to kind of doubt 436 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:08,440 that too. You can watch the video. 437 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,660 I think it's pretty cool. So there we have the Gulf Breeze 438 00:23:11,660 --> 00:23:16,300 UFO incident of 1987 and 88, and it's still going on today in 439 00:23:16,300 --> 00:23:18,660 2023. Until next time, this is UFO 440 00:23:18,660 --> 00:23:20,060 Warning over down.
