1 00:00:16,710 --> 00:00:14,350 i never got any money from you 2 00:00:18,630 --> 00:00:16,720 [Music] 3 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:18,640 ufo might just as well stand for 4 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:21,370 unprecedented financial opportunity 5 00:00:26,070 --> 00:00:21,810 [Applause] 6 00:00:28,870 --> 00:00:26,080 [Music] 7 00:00:30,790 --> 00:00:28,880 and this is the saucer life a podcast in 8 00:00:32,310 --> 00:00:30,800 which we examine concepts events or 9 00:00:35,030 --> 00:00:32,320 people orbiting the world of flying 10 00:00:38,389 --> 00:00:35,040 saucers few preconceptions snark when 11 00:00:39,750 --> 00:00:38,399 justified no belief no debunking today 12 00:00:42,709 --> 00:00:39,760 we're going to look at an often 13 00:00:45,830 --> 00:00:42,719 requested but somewhat daunting topic 14 00:00:48,470 --> 00:00:45,840 gulf breeze the sightings and this will 15 00:00:51,750 --> 00:00:48,480 be followed next time by gulf breeze 16 00:00:53,430 --> 00:00:51,760 aftermath and abductions why two parts 17 00:00:56,549 --> 00:00:53,440 because there's a lot 18 00:00:58,229 --> 00:00:56,559 a lot a lot way more than i figured and 19 00:01:00,549 --> 00:00:58,239 i didn't want to shortchange anything 20 00:01:02,630 --> 00:01:00,559 interesting now making this a two-parter 21 00:01:05,270 --> 00:01:02,640 is a last-minute change to the structure 22 00:01:07,190 --> 00:01:05,280 of the episode so we will see how it 23 00:01:09,830 --> 00:01:07,200 goes this is either going to be 24 00:01:11,429 --> 00:01:09,840 a a brilliant piece of decision making 25 00:01:14,390 --> 00:01:11,439 or it's going to be something where i 26 00:01:16,469 --> 00:01:14,400 end up with a 20-minute episode followed 27 00:01:18,950 --> 00:01:16,479 by a 28 00:01:20,870 --> 00:01:18,960 90-minute episode which would be a bit 29 00:01:23,910 --> 00:01:20,880 unbalanced but 30 00:01:25,830 --> 00:01:23,920 you can look at your podcast app or web 31 00:01:28,390 --> 00:01:25,840 page or wherever you're playing this and 32 00:01:29,749 --> 00:01:28,400 know how long this episode is as i sit 33 00:01:31,670 --> 00:01:29,759 here right now 34 00:01:33,830 --> 00:01:31,680 recording this introduction i have no 35 00:01:34,550 --> 00:01:33,840 idea how long this episode is going to 36 00:01:35,990 --> 00:01:34,560 be 37 00:01:38,980 --> 00:01:36,000 so 38 00:01:44,870 --> 00:01:38,990 let's get started 39 00:01:48,230 --> 00:01:46,630 so just in case you didn't know the gulf 40 00:01:50,469 --> 00:01:48,240 breeze sightings were a series of 41 00:01:52,389 --> 00:01:50,479 sightings and photographs of sightings 42 00:01:55,590 --> 00:01:52,399 in gulf breeze florida which is in the 43 00:01:59,030 --> 00:01:55,600 panhandle not far from pensacola small 44 00:02:02,550 --> 00:01:59,040 little town this happened in late 1987 45 00:02:03,990 --> 00:02:02,560 into early 1988 and we're going to be 46 00:02:05,830 --> 00:02:04,000 looking at the gulf breeze sightings 47 00:02:08,309 --> 00:02:05,840 primarily through the words of ed and 48 00:02:10,070 --> 00:02:08,319 francis walters while we're bringing 49 00:02:12,229 --> 00:02:10,080 other sightings and other sources and 50 00:02:13,510 --> 00:02:12,239 and things like that were appropriate 51 00:02:15,750 --> 00:02:13,520 it's 52 00:02:18,470 --> 00:02:15,760 very much the story of ed and francis 53 00:02:20,309 --> 00:02:18,480 walters and their experiences now in 54 00:02:22,150 --> 00:02:20,319 true saucer live fashion i'm not going 55 00:02:23,830 --> 00:02:22,160 to be passing judgment on their 56 00:02:25,750 --> 00:02:23,840 sightings or on their photos i'll be 57 00:02:28,150 --> 00:02:25,760 describing the sightings i'll be 58 00:02:29,990 --> 00:02:28,160 quoting passages from their books i may 59 00:02:31,430 --> 00:02:30,000 invoke fair use and share my two 60 00:02:33,910 --> 00:02:31,440 favorites of the pictures out on the 61 00:02:36,390 --> 00:02:33,920 social media but i'm not here to declare 62 00:02:38,070 --> 00:02:36,400 whether this was a hoax or not i'm going 63 00:02:39,589 --> 00:02:38,080 to tell you the story based on the 64 00:02:41,430 --> 00:02:39,599 sources from the time 65 00:02:43,270 --> 00:02:41,440 now in many ways and for better for 66 00:02:45,030 --> 00:02:43,280 worse for me the most interesting aspect 67 00:02:47,990 --> 00:02:45,040 of the sightings is the story of the 68 00:02:50,070 --> 00:02:48,000 walters encounters how they reacted 69 00:02:52,309 --> 00:02:50,080 and and how the ufo community reacted to 70 00:02:54,309 --> 00:02:52,319 them and their story and and the fallout 71 00:02:56,229 --> 00:02:54,319 from that and that's why uh this is 72 00:02:58,070 --> 00:02:56,239 going to be a two-parter because there's 73 00:03:00,630 --> 00:02:58,080 a lot of 74 00:03:01,830 --> 00:03:00,640 sort of ufo cultural stuff to get in 75 00:03:04,229 --> 00:03:01,840 here 76 00:03:06,309 --> 00:03:04,239 so the walters first book ed and francis 77 00:03:08,710 --> 00:03:06,319 walter's first book the gulf breeze 78 00:03:10,070 --> 00:03:08,720 sightings hit the shelves in 1990 so a 79 00:03:12,470 --> 00:03:10,080 couple years after the sightings were 80 00:03:14,790 --> 00:03:12,480 over and following an introduction from 81 00:03:16,630 --> 00:03:14,800 abduction researcher bud hopkins we jump 82 00:03:19,910 --> 00:03:16,640 right into ed walters first sighting 83 00:03:22,390 --> 00:03:19,920 which took place on november 11th 1987. 84 00:03:24,390 --> 00:03:22,400 it was about 5 pm ed walters was in his 85 00:03:27,270 --> 00:03:24,400 home and as he worked in his office 86 00:03:28,789 --> 00:03:27,280 something caught his eye out the window 87 00:03:31,270 --> 00:03:28,799 my eyes caught a slight movement of 88 00:03:32,710 --> 00:03:31,280 light between the pine's limbs i sat up 89 00:03:34,789 --> 00:03:32,720 and leaned over my desk to get a better 90 00:03:36,710 --> 00:03:34,799 look it was still behind the tree but i 91 00:03:37,910 --> 00:03:36,720 could now see that the glow was unusual 92 00:03:39,750 --> 00:03:37,920 quite different from any of the 93 00:03:41,350 --> 00:03:39,760 commonplace planes and helicopters that 94 00:03:43,190 --> 00:03:41,360 populate the sky with their comings and 95 00:03:45,270 --> 00:03:43,200 goings from the naval air station right 96 00:03:46,630 --> 00:03:45,280 across the bay i still couldn't see 97 00:03:49,030 --> 00:03:46,640 clearly enough through the pine boughs 98 00:03:51,110 --> 00:03:49,040 to satisfy my curiosity i went to the 99 00:03:53,429 --> 00:03:51,120 front door and opened it whatever it was 100 00:03:55,429 --> 00:03:53,439 i had seen was still behind the tree but 101 00:03:57,350 --> 00:03:55,439 i could tell now that this was glowing 102 00:03:59,429 --> 00:03:57,360 bluish-grey craft was like none i had 103 00:04:01,190 --> 00:03:59,439 ever seen before this was right out of a 104 00:04:03,190 --> 00:04:01,200 spielberg movie that had somehow escaped 105 00:04:05,030 --> 00:04:03,200 from the film studio it was impossible 106 00:04:07,110 --> 00:04:05,040 but there it was glowing and gliding 107 00:04:09,190 --> 00:04:07,120 along like a cloud there was a quiet in 108 00:04:11,350 --> 00:04:09,200 the air as i stared at the craft the 109 00:04:13,830 --> 00:04:11,360 hairs on my arms bristled this was no 110 00:04:15,110 --> 00:04:13,840 movie prop gone astray my first thought 111 00:04:16,789 --> 00:04:15,120 was to call the police but then i 112 00:04:19,189 --> 00:04:16,799 realized no one would believe me without 113 00:04:20,949 --> 00:04:19,199 proof i rushed back into my office and 114 00:04:23,430 --> 00:04:20,959 grabbed the old polaroid camera i used 115 00:04:25,590 --> 00:04:23,440 so frequently on my job sites quickly i 116 00:04:27,670 --> 00:04:25,600 stepped back into the small porch area i 117 00:04:29,909 --> 00:04:27,680 took my first picture as the craft came 118 00:04:32,230 --> 00:04:29,919 from behind the pine the craft was still 119 00:04:33,749 --> 00:04:32,240 partially concealed by a branch i moved 120 00:04:35,590 --> 00:04:33,759 the camera from my eye to get a better 121 00:04:37,830 --> 00:04:35,600 look my mind told me there was some 122 00:04:39,749 --> 00:04:37,840 perfectly logical explanation for it all 123 00:04:41,110 --> 00:04:39,759 my eyes told me something i absolutely 124 00:04:42,629 --> 00:04:41,120 didn't want to believe 125 00:04:46,469 --> 00:04:42,639 this was a ufo 126 00:04:49,990 --> 00:04:48,230 looking at photo one and we're not going 127 00:04:51,909 --> 00:04:50,000 to talk about every single photo in 128 00:04:54,629 --> 00:04:51,919 detail because describing photographs on 129 00:04:56,629 --> 00:04:54,639 an audio only podcast is 130 00:05:00,070 --> 00:04:56,639 boy that's that's tedious even for this 131 00:05:01,830 --> 00:05:00,080 show but it is a a sort of round very 132 00:05:04,230 --> 00:05:01,840 sort of structured looking craft with a 133 00:05:06,629 --> 00:05:04,240 light on top and and a glowing section 134 00:05:10,390 --> 00:05:06,639 underneath it is coming out from behind 135 00:05:11,909 --> 00:05:10,400 a tree and uh the caption says that it's 136 00:05:14,469 --> 00:05:11,919 overlapped by the tree which offers 137 00:05:17,749 --> 00:05:14,479 conclusive evidence for authentication 138 00:05:20,150 --> 00:05:17,759 everything has sort of a blue tinge even 139 00:05:23,510 --> 00:05:20,160 the light blasted and enhanced 140 00:05:25,830 --> 00:05:23,520 version of the photo now again not to 141 00:05:27,909 --> 00:05:25,840 get into photographic details that can 142 00:05:31,350 --> 00:05:27,919 get a little tedious these are polaroids 143 00:05:33,749 --> 00:05:31,360 um kids ask your parents about polaroids 144 00:05:35,830 --> 00:05:33,759 but these are instant photos and it was 145 00:05:37,909 --> 00:05:35,840 an old camera and i believe if i 146 00:05:39,590 --> 00:05:37,919 remember uh one thing i read somewhere 147 00:05:40,790 --> 00:05:39,600 and people will probably correct me if 148 00:05:42,629 --> 00:05:40,800 i'm wrong 149 00:05:44,550 --> 00:05:42,639 that's he might have been using expired 150 00:05:46,070 --> 00:05:44,560 film which can affect the colors 151 00:05:48,310 --> 00:05:46,080 especially to continue with ed's 152 00:05:49,990 --> 00:05:48,320 narrative he's freaked out obviously but 153 00:05:52,230 --> 00:05:50,000 he did have the wherewithal to notice 154 00:05:54,550 --> 00:05:52,240 some specific details about the craft he 155 00:05:56,550 --> 00:05:54,560 said his attention was sort of drawn to 156 00:05:58,309 --> 00:05:56,560 and focused on the bright glow of the 157 00:06:00,710 --> 00:05:58,319 power source or what he perceives to be 158 00:06:03,590 --> 00:06:00,720 a power source radiating energy from the 159 00:06:06,469 --> 00:06:03,600 bottom of the craft but it you know 160 00:06:07,990 --> 00:06:06,479 it freaked him out right so why is it 161 00:06:09,670 --> 00:06:08,000 slowly descending over what he called a 162 00:06:11,749 --> 00:06:09,680 peaceful residential neighborhood it 163 00:06:14,710 --> 00:06:11,759 made no sense it was too low to the 164 00:06:15,749 --> 00:06:14,720 ground someone was sure to see it surely 165 00:06:17,990 --> 00:06:15,759 if they were 166 00:06:19,990 --> 00:06:18,000 or whoever was on it was observing or 167 00:06:21,830 --> 00:06:20,000 photographing he says they could do that 168 00:06:24,150 --> 00:06:21,840 from a much higher altitude because it's 169 00:06:26,550 --> 00:06:24,160 a spaceship were they having engine 170 00:06:29,110 --> 00:06:26,560 trouble was it actually an american 171 00:06:30,550 --> 00:06:29,120 experimental military craft pensacola 172 00:06:33,270 --> 00:06:30,560 naval air station 173 00:06:35,270 --> 00:06:33,280 is right there so he's having these 174 00:06:38,390 --> 00:06:35,280 thoughts he relates later going through 175 00:06:39,909 --> 00:06:38,400 his head as he's studying this but he 176 00:06:42,150 --> 00:06:39,919 does um 177 00:06:45,029 --> 00:06:42,160 provide some pretty specific details 178 00:06:46,870 --> 00:06:45,039 about its appearance 179 00:06:48,309 --> 00:06:46,880 what i was looking at is probably not 180 00:06:50,790 --> 00:06:48,319 what you would expect if you closed your 181 00:06:52,390 --> 00:06:50,800 eyes and imagined a ufo it was unlike 182 00:06:54,469 --> 00:06:52,400 science fiction and hollywood depictions 183 00:06:56,070 --> 00:06:54,479 of a flying saucer the pictures i took 184 00:06:58,230 --> 00:06:56,080 are clear but it's not like seeing it 185 00:07:01,110 --> 00:06:58,240 firsthand in person it was an awesome 186 00:07:02,710 --> 00:07:01,120 sight and an unforgettable experience 187 00:07:05,029 --> 00:07:02,720 it seemed to be nearly as big as the 188 00:07:06,710 --> 00:07:05,039 houses below it and three times as high 189 00:07:09,430 --> 00:07:06,720 it glided along without a whisper of 190 00:07:11,270 --> 00:07:09,440 sound there was no hum no wind not a 191 00:07:12,950 --> 00:07:11,280 single disturbance to the air trees or 192 00:07:14,550 --> 00:07:12,960 houses as it passed over them while 193 00:07:17,029 --> 00:07:14,560 rocking back and forth it did not seem 194 00:07:19,430 --> 00:07:17,039 to spin so i never saw all sides only 195 00:07:21,909 --> 00:07:19,440 what is in the photographs i estimated 196 00:07:24,309 --> 00:07:21,919 it at 200 feet above the ground 60 feet 197 00:07:26,309 --> 00:07:24,319 in diameter and 35 feet from the top 198 00:07:27,749 --> 00:07:26,319 dome to the bottom of the power light 199 00:07:29,909 --> 00:07:27,759 later it became very obvious that the 200 00:07:31,350 --> 00:07:29,919 ufo wasn't nearly this large but having 201 00:07:33,749 --> 00:07:31,360 nothing to compare it with and not 202 00:07:35,909 --> 00:07:33,759 knowing just how far away it was made it 203 00:07:37,909 --> 00:07:35,919 impossible to be sure of the size being 204 00:07:39,430 --> 00:07:37,919 excited didn't help either a lot of 205 00:07:40,469 --> 00:07:39,440 small details don't show up in the 206 00:07:42,309 --> 00:07:40,479 photos 207 00:07:43,670 --> 00:07:42,319 central between the large black squares 208 00:07:45,430 --> 00:07:43,680 that look like windows were small 209 00:07:47,110 --> 00:07:45,440 openings that i believe were portholes 210 00:07:49,350 --> 00:07:47,120 some of the portholes were lit some were 211 00:07:51,589 --> 00:07:49,360 not there were also some diamond shapes 212 00:07:53,670 --> 00:07:51,599 between

00:10:11,190 --> 00:10:08,399 odor lingers and it's still lingering 275 00:10:14,310 --> 00:10:11,200 when ed's wife francis comes back and he 276 00:10:16,630 --> 00:10:14,320 tells her what has been

photos to the press writing out a letter 292 00:10:52,230 --> 00:10:50,320 signed mr x now the plan is for ed to 293 00:10:54,790 --> 00:10:52,240 take the photos to a guy named duane 294 00:10:56,790

hummingbird and hovered there it 417 00:15:35,829 --> 00:15:33,519 seemed to be spinning from left to right 418 00:15:37,749 --> 00:15:35,839 but very slowly ever so slightly it 419 00:15:39,430 --> 00:15:37,759 would tilt toward me and then away which 420 00:15:41,670 --> 00:15:39,440 i noticed because the big power light at 421 00:15:43,990 --> 00:15:41,680 the bottom grew larger and smaller 422 00:15:46,310 --> 00:15:44,000 the craft lit itself up and was bright 423 00:15:47,749 --> 00:15:46,320 it was so bright in fact i still can't 424 00:15:49,269 --> 00:15:47,759 believe someone else didn't see it 425 00:15:52,470 --> 00:15:49,279 hovering there 426 00:15:55,030 --> 00:15:52,480 the ufo voice said step forward we will 427 00:15:56,710 --> 00:15:55,040 bring you aboard no way what gives you 428 00:15:58,790 --> 00:15:56,720 the right to suck people up into your 429 00:16:00,470 --> 00:15:58,800 ship against their will 430 00:16:01,990 --> 00:16:00,480 we have the right 431 00:16:04,069 --> 00:16:02,000 i remember thinking that the being was 432 00:16:07,430 --> 00:16:04,079 talking to me as if i were an animal 433 00:16:10,069 --> 00:16:07,440 here rover sit rover what a good rover 434 00:16:12,069 --> 00:16:10,079 click i took shot number eight 435 00:16:14,230 --> 00:16:12,079 the female voice you must do what they 436 00:16:16,150 --> 00:16:14,240 say they haven't heard us and we are 437 00:16:18,069 --> 00:16:16,160 going back home now 438 00:16:20,150 --> 00:16:18,079 now visions blasted into my brain of 439 00:16:22,550 --> 00:16:20,160 naked women these were not drawings of 440 00:16:24,389 --> 00:16:22,560 naked women but actual naked women flash 441 00:16:27,910 --> 00:16:24,399 after flash each lasting about five 442 00:16:29,590 --> 00:16:27,920 seconds big women little women fat black 443 00:16:32,150 --> 00:16:29,600 white women from every race and every 444 00:16:33,590 --> 00:16:32,160 age there were even pregnant women if 445 00:16:36,230 --> 00:16:33,600 this was meant to encourage me to come 446 00:16:39,030 --> 00:16:36,240 aboard it didn't work i stayed right 447 00:16:42,629 --> 00:16:40,629 ed acknowledges that this sighting was 448 00:16:44,470 --> 00:16:42,639 much more frightening than the first one 449 00:16:46,550 --> 00:16:44,480 but he keeps taking pictures he takes 450 00:16:48,949 --> 00:16:46,560 several pictures so that the threats 451 00:16:50,550 --> 00:16:48,959 from the aliens seem 452 00:16:52,790 --> 00:16:50,560 a little hollow 453 00:16:55,189 --> 00:16:52,800 eventually again they 454 00:16:57,110 --> 00:16:55,199 go away the voices leave his head the 455 00:16:58,389 --> 00:16:57,120 humming leaves his head he tells his 456 00:17:01,670 --> 00:16:58,399 wife what happened 457 00:17:03,269 --> 00:17:01,680 and he he decides that he needs to take 458 00:17:06,069 --> 00:17:03,279 some precautions because they said 459 00:17:08,949 --> 00:17:06,079 they're going to come back for him so he 460 00:17:11,270 --> 00:17:08,959 loads his 32 caliber pistol he loads his 461 00:17:13,829 --> 00:17:11,280 22 caliber rifle he says if i'd had a 462 00:17:15,909 --> 00:17:13,839 machine gun i'd have loaded that too 463 00:17:18,630 --> 00:17:15,919 so he's got a shotgun he's got his 464 00:17:20,549 --> 00:17:18,640 pistol he's got a rifle he begins to 465 00:17:22,789 --> 00:17:20,559 carry the shotgun in his pickup truck 466 00:17:25,270 --> 00:17:22,799 behind the seat um 467 00:17:26,710 --> 00:17:25,280 he's he's ready for them if they come 468 00:17:29,430 --> 00:17:26,720 get him and then 469 00:17:31,669 --> 00:17:29,440 soon after this in the next issue of the 470 00:17:32,549 --> 00:17:31,679 gulf breeze sentinel we start to see 471 00:17:35,190 --> 00:17:32,559 some 472 00:17:38,070 --> 00:17:35,200 indication that ed walters was not the 473 00:17:40,070 --> 00:17:38,080 only one seeing strange things in the 474 00:17:41,430 --> 00:17:40,080 sky one of the witnesses who shared his 475 00:17:43,990 --> 00:17:41,440 experience was a man named charles 476 00:17:46,070 --> 00:17:44,000 somersby who was a former editor of the 477 00:17:50,390 --> 00:17:46,080 gulf breeze sentinel so that carried 478 00:17:54,070 --> 00:17:52,070 it was just a few minutes after sunset 479 00:17:55,750 --> 00:17:54,080 on veterans day and wife dari and i were 480 00:17:57,510 --> 00:17:55,760 just finishing up our evening walk along 481 00:17:59,510 --> 00:17:57,520 hickory shores boulevard in the midway 482 00:18:01,190 --> 00:17:59,520 area we looked out over east bay to 483 00:18:03,350 --> 00:18:01,200 admire the cloud formations when our 484 00:18:05,029 --> 00:18:03,360 attention was drawn to a round object 485 00:18:07,270 --> 00:18:05,039 moving in a southwest direction toward 486 00:18:08,870 --> 00:18:07,280 downtown gulf breeze there were bright 487 00:18:10,870 --> 00:18:08,880 lights around the bottom another at the 488 00:18:13,270 --> 00:18:10,880 top none of the lights were colored or 489 00:18:16,310 --> 00:18:13,280 flashing our thought it's not an 490 00:18:17,669 --> 00:18:16,320 airplane not a helicopter not a bird 491 00:18:19,270 --> 00:18:17,679 what is it 492 00:18:21,750 --> 00:18:19,280 movement of the unidentified flying 493 00:18:23,590 --> 00:18:21,760 object was steady no hesitation and no 494 00:18:25,029 --> 00:18:23,600 apparent change of course 495 00:18:25,990 --> 00:18:25,039 watched the local news on television 496 00:18:27,430 --> 00:18:26,000 that evening and looked through the 497 00:18:29,590 --> 00:18:27,440 morning paper to see if anyone had 498 00:18:30,870 --> 00:18:29,600 reported the apparition when it appeared 499 00:18:32,549 --> 00:18:30,880 no one else had been looking up at the 500 00:18:34,230 --> 00:18:32,559 sky at that moment we forgot about the 501 00:18:36,710 --> 00:18:34,240 incident until the pictures appeared in 502 00:18:37,990 --> 00:18:36,720 last week's sentinel unfortunately 503 00:18:39,909 --> 00:18:38,000 didn't have a loaded camera or 504 00:18:42,070 --> 00:18:39,919 binoculars with us at the time of the 505 00:18:43,669 --> 00:18:42,080 sighting 506 00:18:45,590 --> 00:18:43,679 summersby wasn't the only one who had 507 00:18:47,830 --> 00:18:45,600 seen things an article by joe turner and 508 00:18:49,510 --> 00:18:47,840 allison brown in that issue of the gulf 509 00:18:50,950 --> 00:18:49,520 breeze sentinel detailed other sightings 510 00:18:53,430 --> 00:18:50,960 that happened on the 11th when ed 511 00:18:56,870 --> 00:18:53,440 walters had his first one and when the 512 00:18:58,789 --> 00:18:56,880 summersby saw their craft on november 513 00:19:00,950 --> 00:18:58,799 11th around eight in the morning jeff 514 00:19:03,750 --> 00:19:00,960 thompson of gulf breeze said he saw a 515 00:19:05,990 --> 00:19:03,760 flying object from tiger point bay over 516 00:19:07,350 --> 00:19:06,000 oriole beach school thompson was taking 517 00:19:09,190 --> 00:19:07,360 the sun to school at the time saw the 518 00:19:11,270 --> 00:19:09,200 object shoot up from the right at an 519 00:19:15,270 --> 00:19:11,280 angle suddenly stop 520 00:19:17,990 --> 00:19:15,280 hold there for 30 to 45 seconds and then 521 00:19:20,230 --> 00:19:18,000 sort of took off at a high rate of speed 522 00:19:23,430 --> 00:19:20,240 now it had the same window type 523 00:19:26,549 --> 00:19:23,440 formations as the photo but it did not 524 00:19:29,270 --> 00:19:26,559 have the brightly lit bottom portion 525 00:19:32,950 --> 00:19:29,280 so that is uh that is a big difference 526 00:19:35,830 --> 00:19:32,960 thompson also said that after the ufo 527 00:19:36,950 --> 00:19:35,840 sped away two jets were chasing the 528 00:19:38,549 --> 00:19:36,960 object 529 00:19:41,190 --> 00:19:38,559 another witness 530 00:19:45,669 --> 00:19:41,200 around the same time as walters had his 531 00:19:48,710 --> 00:19:45,679 sighting about 5 30 to 6 30 pm was linda 532 00:19:50,950 --> 00:19:48,720 lube of gulf breeze she witnessed a type 533 00:19:53,510 --> 00:19:50,960 of light she says moving very slowly 534 00:19:55,909 --> 00:19:53,520 across the sky southeast toward gulf 535 00:19:57,909 --> 00:19:55,919 breeze she watched it for about 15 536 00:19:59,990 --> 00:19:57,919 minutes while outside cooking she said i 537 00:20:01,430 --> 00:20:00,000 had a feeling it was from another place 538 00:20:03,110 --> 00:20:01,440 i didn't have my glasses on so i 539 00:20:05,430 --> 00:20:03,120 couldn't see the form but i could tell 540 00:20:07,990 --> 00:20:05,440 i've never seen anything like it she 541 00:20:09,270 --> 00:20:08,000 expressed her feelings as quote almost a 542 00:20:10,710 --> 00:20:09,280 premonition 543 00:20:13,029 --> 00:20:10,720 and then when she saw the sentinel less 544 00:20:16,390 --> 00:20:13,039 than a week later she said she felt that 545 00:20:17,990 --> 00:20:16,400 same unexplainable inner feeling 546 00:20:20,470 --> 00:20:18,000 now the article also said that the 547 00:20:22,549 --> 00:20:20,480 florida chapter of mufon the mutual ufo 548 00:20:24,870 --> 00:20:22,559 network would be sending investigators 549 00:20:27,590 --> 00:20:24,880 to talk to the witnesses and to gather 550 00:20:29,350 --> 00:20:27,600 information about the sightings now on 551 00:20:31,909 --> 00:20:29,360 december 2nd 552 00:20:35,110 --> 00:20:31,919 speaking of sightings ed walters had his 553 00:20:37,350 --> 00:20:35,120 third encounter with whatever it was and 554 00:20:40,789 --> 00:20:37,360 like previous encounters there was a 555 00:20:42,870 --> 00:20:40,799 kind of precursor event this time it 556 00:20:44,549 --> 00:20:42,880 wasn't necessarily a hum it was hearing 557 00:20:47,430 --> 00:20:44,559 voices talking 558 00:20:53,270 --> 00:20:47,440 in spanish and hearing a baby crying and 559 00:20:56,470 --> 00:20:54,630 female voice 560 00:20:58,230 --> 00:20:56,480 she wants some milk 561 00:21:00,310 --> 00:20:58,240 male voice if they don't give us 562 00:21:01,669 --> 00:21:00,320 something of them bananas i'll hush 563 00:21:04,310 --> 00:21:01,679 they'll hear you 564 00:21:05,750 --> 00:21:04,320 but why do they just eat bananas 565 00:21:07,669 --> 00:21:05,760 i know this sounds bizarre and i was 566 00:21:09,510 --> 00:21:07,679 tempted not to tell it but bananas are 567 00:21:11,270 --> 00:21:09,520 what they were talking about i lived in 568 00:21:13,110 --> 00:21:11,280 central america for about five years and 569 00:21:15,590 --> 00:21:13,120 speak spanish to a modest degree 570 00:21:18,950 --> 00:21:15,600 although i can understand it even better 571 00:21:22,470 --> 00:21:20,470 i'm not sure about the spelling but it 572 00:21:24,149 --> 00:21:22,480 translates to a slang version of son of 573 00:21:25,270 --> 00:21:24,159 a i mentioned this because i 574 00:21:27,669 --> 00:21:25,280 remember hearing it in parts of 575 00:21:30,549 --> 00:21:27,679 nicaragua and costa rica maybe the voice 576 00:21:31,990 --> 00:21:30,559 is home son of a look at all those 577 00:21:33,350 --> 00:21:32,000 maybe 20 578 00:21:35,510 --> 00:21:33,360 what's happening 579 00:21:37,029 --> 00:21:35,520 i saw them like that last night 580 00:21:38,630 --> 00:21:37,039 the chiefs said they were taking on 581 00:21:40,390 --> 00:21:38,640 power fuel 582 00:21:42,630 --> 00:21:40,400 the baby was still crying by now of 583 00:21:44,630 --> 00:21:42,640 course i was wide awake sweat soaked my 584 00:21:47,029 --> 00:21:44,640 back and rolled down my underarms i was 585 00:21:49,190 --> 00:21:47,039 afraid to move and afraid not to i knew 586 00:21:51,669 --> 00:21:49,200 the ufo was there but did they know i 587 00:21:53,750 --> 00:21:51,679 could hear them 588 00:21:57,110 --> 00:21:53,760 if it seems a little confusing that's 589 00:21:58,549 --> 00:21:57,120 because it is it kind of jumps around a 590 00:22:00,390 --> 00:21:58,559 little bit it's it's a it's a very 591 00:22:01,909 --> 00:22:00,400 strange story you get a sense in the way 592 00:22:04,470 --> 00:22:01,919 that he tells it 593 00:22:06,710 --> 00:22:04,480 he's sort of conveying the uh sort of 594 00:22:09,029 --> 00:22:06,720 disorientation he's feeling in the face 595 00:22:10,549 --> 00:22:09,039 of some of this some of this strange 596 00:22:12,390 --> 00:22:10,559 stuff so he's trying to figure out what 597 00:22:14,630 --> 00:22:12,400 to do should he call the police 598 00:22:16,390 --> 00:22:14,640 should he look for wherever the voices 599 00:22:19,590 --> 00:22:16,400 are coming from that's what he wants to 600 00:22:21,190 --> 00:22:19,600 do he tries to grab the the pistol in 601 00:22:23,590 --> 00:22:21,200 the nightstand he's gonna creep around 602 00:22:25,990 --> 00:22:23,600 looking for them his wife says no she's 603 00:22:28,230 -->

they pleased i 624 00:23:18,710 --> 00:23:16,880 cracked the door again 625 00:23:22,310 --> 00:23:18,720 the ufo stopped 626 00:23:24,149 --> 00:23:22,320 the ufo voice ordered step forward now 627 00:23:26,149 --> 00:23:24,159 not in this life i muttered as i took 628 00:23:28,390 --> 00:23:26,159 the polaroid camera from the breakfast 629 00:23:30,710 --> 00:23:28,400 bar 630 00:23:33,669 --> 00:23:30,720 feeling a bit emboldened by his defiance 631 00:23:35,750 --> 00:23:33,679 ed goes outside even further takes more 632 00:23:38,710 --> 00:23:35,760 photos ducking behind trees watching the 633 00:23:41,269 --> 00:23:38,720 craft move around change colors from 634 00:23:43,590 --> 00:23:41,279 orange to white and and so forth and 635 00:23:45,669 --> 00:23:43,600 then they eventually leave and he does 636 00:23:47,750 --> 00:23:45,679 something that he thinks will will help 637 00:23:50,310 --> 00:23:47,760 with the situation he says earlier i had 638 00:23:52,310 --> 00:23:50,320 mistaken the ufo hum for the pool pump 639 00:23:53,990 --> 00:23:52,320 that wouldn't happen again from room to 640 00:23:55,909 --> 00:23:54,000 room i checked for anything that hummed 641 00:23:58,149 --> 00:23:55,919 the refrigerator unplugged it the 642 00:24:00,549 --> 00:23:58,159 aquarium pump turned it off the central 643 00:24:03,110 --> 00:24:00,559 heater off by the time i was through the 644 00:24:04,710 --> 00:24:03,120 house was quiet satisfied i returned to 645 00:24:06,789 --> 00:24:04,720 my bedroom 646 00:24:08,549 --> 00:24:06,799 he's trying to eliminate all the 647 00:24:10,870 --> 00:24:08,559 possible sounds of humming because the 648 00:24:13,269 --> 00:24:10,880 humming will alert him to the ufo and he 649 00:24:14,710 --> 00:24:13,279 doesn't want any false alarms but this 650 00:24:16,789 --> 00:24:14,720 time this sighting was a little 651 00:24:18,950 --> 00:24:16,799 different francis his wife had seen it 652 00:24:21,350 --> 00:24:18,960 so she had believed him she 653 00:24:24,470 --> 00:24:21,360 saw the photos she she trusted his 654 00:24:26,630 --> 00:24:24,480 judgment but this was a little bit a 655 00:24:28,950 --> 00:24:26,640 little bit different she said she was 656 00:24:30,870 --> 00:24:28,960 terrified she was 657 00:24:32,710 --> 00:24:30,880 you know concerned about ed's safety 658 00:24:34,230 --> 00:24:32,720 when he went out to take more 659 00:24:35,350 --> 00:24:34,240 photographs 660 00:24:40,710 --> 00:24:35,360 so 661 00:24:44,549 --> 00:24:40,720 a fourth sighting but it was around 3 30 662 00:24:47,350

it's 3 30 a.m 728 00:27:36,789 --> 00:27:35,840 and ed and francis are in bed 729 00:27:38,549 --> 00:27:36,799 and then 730 00:27:40,149 --> 00:27:38,559 the dog barks 731 00:27:42,310 --> 00:27:40,159 ed wakes up 732 00:27:43,269 --> 00:27:42,320 he goes to the window he opens up the 733 00:27:44,630 --> 00:27:43,279 blinds 734 00:27:46,310 --> 00:27:44,640 he looks out 735 00:27:48,470 --> 00:27:46,320 there's a small creature just on the 736 00:27:50,149 --> 00:27:48,480 other side of the glass they're inches 737 00:27:55,110 --> 00:27:50,159 away from each other 738 00:27:59,750 --> 00:27:57,110 the creature just stood there staring in 739 00:28:02,310 --> 00:27:59,760 at me it was maybe four feet tall 740 00:28:04,310 --> 00:28:02,320 a dark grayish black box-like thing hid 741 00:28:05,990 --> 00:28:04,320 most of its body the helmet over its 742 00:28:08,149 --> 00:28:06,000 head had a clear insert that revealed 743 00:28:10,470 --> 00:28:08,159 its eyes really big eyes that cover the 744 00:28:15,350 --> 00:28:10,480 top half of its head it grasped the 745 00:28:18,470 --> 00:28:17,029 by this time francis is awake and has 746 00:28:20,389 --> 00:28:18,480 seen the creature as well she is 747 00:28:23,190 --> 00:28:20,399 actually closer to the creature she's 748 00:28:24,870 --> 00:28:23,200 crawling across the bed towards ed he 749 00:28:26,710 --> 00:28:24,880 has the piston in his hand he points it 750 00:28:30,470 --> 00:28:26,720 at the creature he says i'm not going to 751 00:28:31,669 --> 00:28:30,480 shoot it unless tries to get in ed says 752 00:28:33,990 --> 00:28:31,679 the creature 753 00:28:34,950 --> 00:28:34,000 looked at him fearlessly 754 00:28:36,710 --> 00:28:34,960 and then 755 00:28:41,750 --> 00:28:36,720 it just turned around 756 00:28:45,269 --> 00:28:43,430 anger swept through me 757 00:28:46,630 --> 00:28:45,279 that little bastard that just scared me 758 00:28:49,110 --> 00:28:46,640 out of my mind and now i was just gonna 759 00:28:51,190 --> 00:28:49,120 walk away the hell with that i wanted 760 00:28:53,029 --> 00:28:51,200 him i scrambled from the floor and got 761 00:28:54,389 --> 00:28:53,039 back to the door in a few steps the 762 00:28:55,830 --> 00:28:54,399 deadbolt and passage lock were 763 00:28:57,909 --> 00:28:55,840 impossible to operate without putting 764 00:28:59,590 --> 00:28:57,919 the camera and gun on the floor first i 765 00:29:01,909 --> 00:28:59,600 unlocked the door and without picking up 766 00:29:03,590 --> 00:29:01,919 either of them ran onto the porch the 767 00:29:05,669 --> 00:29:03,600 creature was steadily moving across the 768 00:29:08,149 --> 00:29:05,679 deck and toward the stairs i was about 769 00:29:09,909 --> 00:29:08,159 20 feet behind intent on capturing it 770 00:29:12,070 --> 00:29:09,919 moving as slowly as it was i could catch 771 00:29:13,510 --> 00:29:12,080 it in no time i'd throw a body block and 772 00:29:15,669 --> 00:29:13,520 drag the little critter back into the 773 00:29:18,230 --> 00:29:15,679 house i pushed open the screen door and 774 00:29:20,389 --> 00:29:18,240 took two steps onto the wooden deck bang 775 00:29:22,789 --> 00:29:20,399 the blue beam angled down from the sky 776 00:29:24,870 --> 00:29:22,799 my right leg from the knee down was hit 777 00:29:27,430 --> 00:29:24,880 frozen like it was nailed to the floor 778 00:29:29,350 --> 00:29:27,440 being squeezed i fell my forward 779 00:29:31,590 --> 00:29:29,360 momentum made me pull and twist my knee 780 00:29:34,630 --> 00:29:31,600 as i fell my right leg was stuck in 781 00:29:36,310 --> 00:29:34,640 place i screamed francis ran onto 782 00:29:37,510 --> 00:29:36,320 the porch to help me and i yelled at her 783 00:29:39,590 --> 00:29:37,520 to get back 784 00:29:41,830 --> 00:29:39,600 the blue beam began to lift my leg and 785 00:29:43,430 --> 00:29:41,840 pull me out from under the roofed porch 786 00:29:45,669 --> 00:29:43,440 i leaned back and grabbed the screen 787 00:29:48,070 --> 00:29:45,679 door jamb as i leaned back i was looking 788 00:29:50,230 --> 00:29:48,080 straight up into the bottom of the ufo 789 00:29:52,389 --> 00:29:50,240 it was maybe 50 feet up with beam just 790 00:29:53,990 --> 00:29:52,399 clearing the eave the sight was enough 791 00:29:55,990 --> 00:29:54,000 to make me shudder and i almost lost my 792 00:29:57,990 --> 00:29:56,000 grip on the door jam no wonder the 793 00:29:59,909 --> 00:29:58,000 creature was in no hurry to get away its 794 00:30:02,710 --> 00:29:59,919 buddies were there maybe this was all a 795 00:30:05,029 --> 00:30:02,720 trick to get me outside if it was it 796 00:30:07,190 --> 00:30:05,039 worked my left foot tipped into the blue 797 00:30:08,789 --> 00:30:07,200 beam as i tried to pull myself away i 798 00:30:11,110 --> 00:30:08,799 felt the pressure on my toes and it 799 00:30:12,950 --> 00:30:11,120 wrenched it away i jerked wildly but my 800 00:30:14,870 --> 00:30:12,960 right leg stayed fast in the beam 801 00:30:17,110 --> 00:30:14,880 francis held me from behind i pulled 802 00:30:20,070 --> 00:30:17,120 harder slowly and steadily my leg came 803 00:30:21,990 --> 00:30:20,080 out i was free the blue beam disappeared 804 00:30:23,269 --> 00:30:22,000 and the craft hovered toward the field 805 00:30:24,870 --> 00:30:23,279 the creature had gone across the 806 00:30:27,029 --> 00:30:24,880 backfield i heard it go through the 807 00:30:29,190 --> 00:30:27,039 chain-link gate in our fence i scrambled 808 00:30:30,789 --> 00:30:29,200 to get my camera by the time i got back 809 00:30:33,190 --> 00:30:30,799 with the polaroid the craft was near the 810 00:30:35,110 --> 00:30:33,200 trees suddenly the blue beam shot down 811 00:30:36,630 --> 00:30:35,120 to the ground no way to see the creature 812 00:30:41,590 --> 00:30:36,640 but i figured they were picking up the 813 00:30:46,549 --> 00:30:44,149 so there are a couple of things going on 814 00:30:48,950 --> 00:30:46,559 here we've got a creature and it's not a 815 00:30:52,070 --> 00:30:48,960 gray except for the big black eyes it's 816 00:30:53,750 --> 00:30:52,080 not um it's not really a gray it's or if 817 00:30:56,789 --> 00:30:53,760 it's a gray it's a gray wearing this 818 00:30:59,830 --> 00:30:56,799 weird blocky suit of armor carrying a 819 00:31:01,669 --> 00:30:59,840 silver rod and ed says at another point 820 00:31:03,509 --> 00:31:01,679 in the book that he says it's a silver 821 00:31:06,310 --> 00:31:03,519 rod not because that's the color of the 822 00:31:09,269 --> 00:31:06,320 rod but because it in his words glowed 823 00:31:11,590 --> 00:31:09,279 silver we also have the blue beam 824 00:31:13,590 --> 00:31:11,600 grabbing him and pulling him up into the 825 00:31:15,990 --> 00:31:13,600 ship but he's able to resist it by 826 00:31:18,789 --> 00:31:16,000 hanging onto the door jamb and 827 00:31:20,470 --> 00:31:18,799 and his wife francis sort of holding on 828 00:31:23,350 --> 00:31:20,480 to him and 829 00:31:26,149 --> 00:31:23,360 that i mean the beam must not be 830 00:31:29,750 --> 00:31:26,159 very strong if he can just 831 00:31:31,509 --> 00:31:29,760 hang on now he talks about photo 11 if 832 00:31:33,110 --> 00:31:31,519 we look at photo 11 or if i look at 833 00:31:35,909 --> 00:31:33,120 photo 11 834 00:31:37,990 --> 00:31:35,919 in both the both the regular one and the 835 00:31:40,389 --> 00:31:38,000 light blasted and enhanced for detail 836 00:31:43,350 --> 00:31:40,399 enlarged version you see a craft that 837 00:31:46,149 --> 00:31:43,360 looks sort of flying sorcery and 838 00:31:47,110 --> 00:31:46,159 you do see a beam 839 00:31:49,750 --> 00:31:47,120 much 840 00:31:51,909 --> 00:31:49,760 more faint in the unenhanced version you 841 00:31:54,470 --> 00:31:51,919 do see a beam going down to the ground 842 00:31:55,590 --> 00:31:54,480 and that beam is blue 843 00:31:57,990 --> 00:31:55,600 and 844 00:32:00,070 --> 00:31:58,000 again i'm not casting aspersions i'm not 845 00:32:02,549 --> 00:32:00,080 making judgments but it looks really 846 00:32:04,389 --> 00:32:02,559 fake to me it it just does 847 00:32:07,669 --> 00:32:04,399 i'm not saying all the photos of the 848 00:32:10,870 --> 00:32:07,679 ufos look fake i just think the ones 849 00:32:12,470 --> 00:32:10,880 that show a large amount of detail look 850 00:32:15,590 --> 00:32:12,480 kind of fake but what's interesting 851 00:32:17,669 --> 00:32:15,600 about it and i'm not an optical 852 00:32:20,549 --> 00:32:17,679 physicist like the people like bruce 853 00:32:23,029 --> 00:32:20,559 mcabee who authenticated these photos 854 00:32:25,350 --> 00:32:23,039 but my question is 855 00:32:28,549 --> 00:32:25,360 in what way how 856 00:32:30,789 --> 00:32:28,559 how does how does light work um that's 857 00:32:32,789 --> 00:32:30,799 kind of my question how does light work 858 00:32:35,269 --> 00:32:32,799 how does the the beam 859 00:32:38,870 --> 00:32:35,279 this tractor beam sort of 860 00:32:42,070 --> 00:32:38,880 engage in a a visual spectrum 861 00:32:46,070 --> 00:32:42,080 to look blue to the human eye how would 862 00:32:47,830 --> 00:32:46,080 that translate to a polaroid lens and a 863 00:32:49,669 --> 00:32:47,840 film what i'm saying is why does there 864 00:32:52,230 --> 00:32:49,679 have to be a visible 865 00:32:54,950 --> 00:32:52,240 aspect to this light beam 866 00:32:57,110 --> 00:32:54,960 in the first place 867 00:32:58,789 --> 00:32:57,120 if i was doing this i'm not saying this 868 00:33:00,710 --> 00:32:58,799 is you know something i would do and i'm 869 00:33:02,789 --> 00:33:00,720 not saying that anybody faked anything 870 00:33:05,669 --> 00:33:02,799 but if i were faking something like this 871 00:33:07,350 --> 00:33:05,679 i would say there was an invisible force 872 00:33:10,549 --> 00:33:07,360 that was pulling me towards the ship i 873 00:33:13,590 --> 00:33:10,559 would not say it was blue i would not 874 00:33:15,269 --> 00:33:13,600 attempt to photograph a blue beam i 875 00:33:17,190 --> 00:33:15,279 would just kind of 876 00:33:20,549 --> 00:33:17,200 be chill about it and say hey why would 877 00:33:21,750 --> 00:33:20,559 it have to be visible so this is this is 878 00:33:24,470 --> 00:33:21,760 interesting and at the end of the 879 00:33:27,110 --> 00:33:24,480 chapter we do have uh we we do have um 880 00:33:27,990 --> 00:33:27,120 francis's account of this and and she 881 00:33:31,509 --> 00:33:28,000 tells 882 00:33:34,470 --> 00:33:31,519 unsurprisingly the uh the 883 00:33:36,310 --> 00:33:34,480 same story ed does and you know a little 884 00:33:40,070 --> 00:33:36,320 more terror as she's holding on to him 885 00:33:41,830 --> 00:33:40,080 as he's being tugged up toward the ship 886 00:33:43,990 --> 00:33:41,840 this was her first experience the blue 887 00:33:46,470 --> 00:33:44,000 beam she said and it terrified me if the 888 00:33:48,070 --> 00:33:46,480 ufo had waited the fire ed's entire body 889 00:33:49,750 --> 00:33:48,080 would have been caught again would they 890 00:33:51,990 --> 00:33:49,760 have taken him or had they just wanted 891 00:33:53,669 --> 00:33:52,000 to keep him from following the creature 892 00:33:55,909 --> 00:33:53,679 so that's the question was he being 893 00:33:59,110 --> 00:33:55,919 abducted or was he just 894 00:34:01,830 --> 00:33:59,120 sort of being deterred from hunting down 895 00:34:03,830 --> 00:34:01,840 the little guy so again that encounter 896 00:34:07,590 --> 00:34:03,840 was on the early morning about 3 30 a.m 897 00:34:10,069 --> 00:34:07,600 on december 3rd 1987. 898 00:34:11,909 --> 00:34:10,079 also on december 3rd the gulf breeze 899 00:34:14,950 --> 00:34:11,919 sentinel released an edition with some 900 00:34:19,030 --> 00:34:14,960 letters to the editor that describe some 901 00:34:21,190 --> 00:34:19,040 ufo encounters in the same area but that 902 00:34:23,669 --> 00:34:21,200 aren't from ed walters so these are 903 00:34:26,069 --> 00:34:23,679 these are additional sightings and some 904 00:34:29,750 --> 00:34:26,079 of them from even earlier such as this 905 00:34:33,990 --> 00:34:31,990 dear editor i am very relieved to see 906 00:34:37,030 --> 00:34:34,000 the ufo photos they looked just like the 907 00:34:38,710 --> 00:34:37,040 photos enclosed that i took last june 86 908 00:34:40,950 --> 00:34:38,720 i never showed mine to anybody for fear 909 00:34:42,869 --> 00:34:40,960 of ridicule they were taken with a 35 910 00:34:45,349 --> 00:34:42,879 millimeter after dusk facing west and 911 00:34:47,190 --> 00:34:45,359 shoreline park south it came from behind 912 00:34:49,430 --> 00:34:47,200 the north trees very fast and then 913 00:34:51,190 --> 00:34:49,440 stopped perfectly still it stayed there 914 00:34:53,190 --> 00:34:51,200 for five or six seconds before flashing 915 00:34:55,030 --> 00:34:53,200 off to the north and out of my sight it 916 00:34:56,869 --> 00:34:55,040 happened so fast that i doubted what i 917 00:34:58,790 --> 00:34:56,879 had seen the film came back from the 918 00:35:00,150 --> 00:34:58,800 developer with no prints of the object 919 00:35:01,990 --> 00:35:00,160 but then i checked the negatives and 920 00:35:04,310 --> 00:35:02,000 there it was the developer had not 921 00:35:06,470 --> 00:35:04,320 printed them thinking they were too dark 922 00:35:08,390 --> 00:35:06,480 like the other person i too don't need 923 00:35:11,349 --> 00:35:08,400 the headaches that this can bring so i 924 00:35:13,589 --> 00:35:11,359 withhold my name 925 00:35:16,150 --> 00:35:13,599 i've got a scan of this story with the 926 00:35:19,829 --> 00:35:16,160 photo from june of 1986 and it's pretty 927 00:35:23,430 --> 00:35:19,839 grainy and difficult to see however it 928 00:35:25,829 --> 00:35:23,440 is reprinted in full color in uh walters 929 00:35:27,829 --> 00:35:25,839 book and this is supposedly taken by 930 00:35:31,270 --> 00:35:27,839 somebody who says named jane in quotes 931 00:35:33,990 --> 00:35:31,280 not her real name and this 932 00:35:36,950 --> 00:35:34,000 photograph looks remarkably like the 933 00:35:39,670 --> 00:35:36,960 ones that walters took it's not a 934 00:35:41,589 --> 00:35:39,680 polaroid this is a 35 millimeter photo 935 00:35:43,190 --> 00:35:41,599 but you've got the same sort of round 936 00:35:45,109 --> 00:35:43,200 craft with a little dome at the top and 937 00:35:47,190 --> 00:35:45,119 lights on the bottom there's no blue 938 00:35:49,510 --> 00:35:47,200 tinge it's more of an orange or amber 939 00:35:51,190 --> 00:35:49,520 tinge to the lights but like i said 940 00:35:52,630 --> 00:35:51,200 earlier i wonder some of the color 941 00:35:55,750 --> 00:35:52,640 variations 942 00:35:58,790 --> 00:35:55,760 in here might be the quality of the film 943 00:36:00,790 --> 00:35:58,800 the old polaroid film for example there 944 00:36:02,550 --> 00:36:00,800 was another letter to the editor that 945 00:36:05,030 --> 00:36:02,560 has a sighting that took place at the 946 00:36:07,910 --> 00:36:05,040 same time that walter's initial sighting 947 00:36:13,030 --> 00:36:10,630 dear ufo cider my husband and i feel you 948 00:36:15,430 --> 00:36:13,040 are not alone however i'm not sure if we 949 00:36:17,829 --> 00:36:15,440 saw the same thing it was about 5 30 to 950 00:36:19,910 --> 00:36:17,839 6 30 that evening we were in our car the 951 00:36:21,430 --> 00:36:19,920 object was overhead at first we thought 952 00:36:22,950 --> 00:36:21,440 it might be a plane or helicopter 953 00:36:25,190 --> 00:36:22,960 however when we rolled down the window 954 00:36:27,670 --> 00:36:25,200 of the car we heard no noise did you 955 00:36:29,990 --> 00:36:27,680 hear a noise from it was it between 5 30 956 00:36:32,069 --> 00:36:30,000 and 6 30 wednesday evening i remember my 957 00:36:33,910 --> 00:36:32,079 husband saying when we saw it that's not 958 00:36:36,550 --> 00:36:33,920 a plane no plane can stay still like 959 00:36:38,230 --> 00:36:36,560 that and it did just bob up and down he 960 00:36:40,310 --> 00:36:38,240 said it wasn't a helicopter for it made 961 00:36:42,390 --> 00:36:40,320 no noise he rolled down the window and 962 00:36:45,109 --> 00:36:42,400 stuck out his head i said get your head 963 00:36:46,710 --> 00:36:45,119 in for if it is a ufo it may zap us up 964 00:36:48,630 --> 00:36:46,720 we laughed and said if we told anyone 965 00:36:50,150 --> 00:36:48,640 they would take us away in white jackets 966 00:36:52,230 --> 00:36:50,160 we thought it may be from the air force 967 00:36:54,630 --> 00:36:52,240 also but we doubted it please let us 968 00:36:57,190 --> 00:36:54,640 know if yours made noise signed 969 00:36:59,030 --> 00:36:57,200 anonymous 970 00:37:00,710 --> 00:36:59,040 there was also a statement from the 971 00:37:02,310 --> 00:37:00,720 editorial side of things they said in 972 00:37:04,150 --> 00:37:02,320 the past two weeks the sentinel has been 973 00:37:05,750 --> 00:37:04,160 monitoring local ufo sightings many 974 00:37:08,150 --> 00:37:05,760 centering around an object photographed 975 00:37:09,349 --> 00:37:08,160 november 11th by a gulf breeze resident 976 00:37:11,349 --> 00:37:09,359 since the publishing of the three 977 00:37:12,950 --> 00:37:11,359 pictures on november 19th another photo 978 00:37:14,790 --> 00:37:12,960 taken last year of a similar object has 979 00:37:17,190 --> 00:37:14,800 been submitted to the paper and is shown 980 00:37:19,109 --> 00:37:17,200 below we are having all photos analyzed 981 00:37:21,030 --> 00:37:19,119 by experts and will publish results as 982 00:37:22,870 --> 00:37:21,040 they become available readers are 983 00:37:26,230 --> 00:37:22,880 encouraged to continue sending all 984 00:37:28,230 --> 00:37:26,240 reports to the sentinel so the newspaper 985 00:37:31,829 --> 00:37:28,240 is sort of seeing they've got something 986 00:37:34,069 --> 00:37:31,839 going on here that is uh is pretty 987 00:37:37,750 --> 00:37:34,079 pretty impressive and is is garnering 988 00:37:40,390 --> 00:37:37,760 lots of engagement from the uh from from 989 00:37:42,550 --> 00:37:40,400 their readers in ed walters book he 990 00:37:45,190 --> 00:37:42,560 talks about how after these sort of 991 00:37:48,230 --> 00:37:45,200 corroborating reports begin to 992 00:37:50,630 --> 00:37:48,240 circulate local news begins to uh begins 993 00:37:51,910 --> 00:37:50,640 to get involved they have other people 994 00:37:54,150 --> 00:37:51,920 coming forward saying things they're 995 00:37:56,230 --> 00:37:54,160 talking to photographic experts who 996 00:37:58,950 --> 00:37:56,240 verify that it's very difficult to fake 997 00:38:01,030 --> 00:37:58,960 things with polaroid photos since the 998 00:38:02,550 --> 00:38:01,040 polaroid it's developed right there 999 00:38:04,390 --> 00:38:02,560 you've got all the the emulsion and 1000 00:38:05,109 --> 00:38:04,400 everything sort of there 1001 00:38:28,630 --> 00:38:05,119 in 1002 00:38:30,870 --> 00:38:28,640 to wake the rest of the family goes out 1003 00:38:32,950 --> 00:38:30,880 to the kitchen he's making coffee 1004 00:38:34,950 --> 00:38:32,960 looks out the window the ufo is there 1005 00:38:37,109 --> 00:38:34,960 but it's different he says it's bigger 1006 00:38:39,589 --> 00:38:37,119 that was pretty much it he says it was 1007 00:38:42,069 --> 00:38:39,599 different really different it was bigger 1008 00:38:43,829 --> 00:38:42,079 so that is his description he goes 1009 00:38:47,670 --> 00:38:43,839 outside he gets you know a gun in the 1010 00:38:49,430 --> 00:38:47,680 camera um goes outside and it's higher 1011 00:38:50,550 --> 00:38:49,440 in the air it's hovering it's above the 1012 00:38:57,190 --> 00:38:50,560 trees 1013 00:39:01,750 --> 00:38:58,710 do not resist 1014 00:39:05,349 --> 00:39:01,760 stay where you are you are in danger we 1015 00:39:09,589 --> 00:39:07,030 i turned and ran back into the house 1016 00:39:11,190 --> 00:39:09,599 thinking won't harm me my ass right i 1017 00:39:13,510 --> 00:39:11,200 know all about your blue light and i'm 1018 00:39:15,190 --> 00:39:13,520 not interested i know what it can do 1019 00:39:17,990 --> 00:39:15,200 i hadn't said anything but the voyance 1020 00:39:20,630 --> 00:39:18,000 answered zejas this was more of a sound 1021 00:39:23,430 --> 00:39:20,640 than a name we have come for you 1022 00:39:25,990 --> 00:39:23,440 the ufo hovered slowly across the field 1023 00:39:27,510 --> 00:39:26,000 once again very low to the ground by now 1024 00:39:29,430 --> 00:39:27,520 i figured that everybody on my street 1025 00:39:31,270 --> 00:39:29,440 would have seen the ufo surely someone 1026 00:39:32,470 --> 00:39:31,280 had called the police 1027 00:39:34,150 --> 00:39:32,480 the voice 1028 00:39:42,150 --> 00:39:34,160 no 1029 00:39:44,790 --> 00:39:42,160 i watched them from under the big porch 1030 00:39:46,390 --> 00:39:44,800 roof no way was i going to budge 1031 00:39:47,910 --> 00:39:46,400 i should have taken more photos but i 1032 00:39:49,990 --> 00:39:47,920 was afraid to cover my eyes with the 1033 00:39:52,069 --> 00:39:50,000 camera afraid to take my eyes off it as 1034 00:39:55,190 --> 00:39:52,079 it moved closer finally i pointed the 1035 00:39:57,750 --> 00:39:55,200 pistol at the ufo i yelled i'll shoot 1036 00:40:00,150 --> 00:39:57,760 my voice didn't come out right again 1037 00:40:02,310 --> 00:40:00,160 i'll shoot the words echoed as if they 1038 00:40:03,589 --> 00:40:02,320 were in a pipe 1039 00:40:05,109 --> 00:40:03,599 no 1040 00:40:07,270 --> 00:40:05,119 step forward 1041 00:40:09,430 --> 00:40:07,280 screw you come and get me 1042 00:40:11,190 --> 00:40:09,440 flash they were gone 1043 00:40:13,030 --> 00:40:11,200 again straight up 1044 00:40:14,550 --> 00:40:13,040 i went back into the house quietly 1045 00:40:16,470 --> 00:40:14,560 closing the door behind me questions 1046 00:40:18,230 --> 00:40:16,480 racing through my head what the hell did 1047 00:40:21,190 --> 00:40:18,240 they want from me why all these cryptic 1048 00:40:23,030 --> 00:40:21,200 messages when would all of this be over 1049 00:40:26,390 --> 00:40:23,040 the ufo voice actually seemed to be 1050 00:40:28,630 --> 00:40:26,400 calling me by name not my name but zejas 1051 00:40:31,670 --> 00:40:28,640 whatever that was the voice was clear 1052 00:40:35,349 --> 00:40:31,680 when it said zahas we have come for you 1053 00:40:39,270 --> 00:40:37,349 unsurprisingly ed is getting kind of 1054 00:40:40,870 --> 00:40:39,280 concerned now that there is a clear 1055 00:40:43,190 --> 00:40:40,880 indication that the aliens are coming 1056 00:40:44,550 --> 00:40:43,200 for him in particular and that his 1057 00:40:47,589 --> 00:40:44,560 neighbors apparently aren't able to see 1058 00:40:48,630 --> 00:40:47,599 this and aren't able to call the police 1059 00:40:50,710 --> 00:40:48,640 he says 1060 00:40:53,990 --> 00:40:50,720 that his mind whirled with confusion he 1061 00:40:56,870 --> 00:40:54,000 felt sick and he had to get help somehow 1062 00:40:58,550 --> 00:40:56,880 now francis's account of this particular 1063 00:41:01,190 --> 00:40:58,560 encounter is 1064 00:41:03,589 --> 00:41:01,200 honestly like many of francis's accounts 1065 00:41:05,030 --> 00:41:03,599 in for some of these early sightings 1066 00:41:11,270 --> 00:41:05,040 not 1067 00:41:14,069 --> 00:41:11,280 corroborating 1068 00:41:15,829 --> 00:41:14,079 ed's story necessarily but interesting 1069 00:41:18,309 --> 00:41:15,839 from the point of view of 1070 00:41:19,750 --> 00:41:18,319 she is there she's helping manage the 1071 00:41:21,910 --> 00:41:19,760 household they've got two kids in high 1072 00:41:24,069 --> 00:41:21,920 school their son is is you know taking 1073 00:41:26,630 --> 00:41:24,079 the sats or whatever and getting ready 1074 00:41:28,950 --> 00:41:26,640 to you know go off to college and you 1075 00:41:31,670 --> 00:41:28,960 know the the kids grades are slipping 1076 00:41:35,030 --> 00:41:31,680 the ufo stuff is stressing out the whole 1077 00:41:37,750 --> 00:41:35,040 family so we get that side of the story 1078 00:41:39,030 --> 00:41:37,760 which is pretty interesting and i'd love 1079 00:41:41,270 --> 00:41:39,040 to know if 1080 00:41:42,309 --> 00:41:41,280 the kids who were teenagers at the time 1081 00:41:44,790 --> 00:41:42,319 and and 1082 00:41:46,630 --> 00:41:44,800 obviously not now um what if they've 1083 00:41:48,630 --> 00:41:46,640 written anything about this i haven't 1084 00:41:51,109 --> 00:41:48,640 found anything but if it's out there i'm 1085 00:41:54,390 --> 00:41:51,119 sure somebody will point it out by this 1086 00:41:56,550 --> 00:41:54,400 time it's almost mid-december of 1987 1087 00:41:58,950 --> 00:41:56,560 and more witnesses are coming forward 1088 00:42:00,309 --> 00:41:58,960 reporting sightings of things not 1089 00:42:03,349 --> 00:42:00,319 entirely 1090 00:42:06,870 --> 00:42:03,359 unlike what uh what ed and francis had 1091 00:42:09,510 --> 00:42:06,880 seen on december 17th the francis's have 1092 00:42:13,270 --> 00:42:09,520 their sixth sighting again 1093 00:42:14,870 --> 00:42:13,280 awakened or aroused by strange noises 1094 00:42:18,150 --> 00:42:14,880 sounds 1095 00:42:20,950 --> 00:42:18,160 premonitions ed goes outside he's got 1096 00:42:23,990 --> 00:42:20,960 his camera he is going to see 1097 00:42:25,829 --> 00:42:24,000 the craft he's going to take pictures of 1098 00:42:27,750 --> 00:42:25,839 it 1099 00:42:29,510 --> 00:42:27,760 as he opens his eyes 1100 00:42:31,829 --> 00:42:29,520 to the side of his bed 1101 00:42:33,270 --> 00:42:31,839 are three dark figures 1102 00:42:35,589 --> 00:42:33,280 there's a street light coming in 1103 00:42:37,510 --> 00:42:35,599 illuminating them 1104 00:42:38,630 --> 00:42:37,520 he can't talk 1105 00:42:40,470 --> 00:42:38,640 but then 1106 00:42:42,710 --> 00:42:40,480 they're gone he's dizzy 1107 00:42:45,349 --> 00:42:42,720 he gets up he goes outside 1108 00:42:47,510 --> 00:42:45,359 to take pictures francis comes out with 1109 00:42:49,349 --> 00:42:47,520 them he runs out of film as he's taking 1110 00:42:50,230 --> 00:42:49,359 pictures of a craft she brings him more 1111 00:42:52,150 --> 00:42:50,240 film 1112 00:42:55,109 --> 00:42:52,160 he gets zapped by the beam but it 1113 00:42:56,630 --> 00:42:55,119 doesn't affect him too deeply and one 1114 00:42:59,910 --> 00:42:56,640 interesting thing about this craft this 1115 00:43:02,150 --> 00:42:59,920 is another one of the larger ones 1116 00:43:04,390 --> 00:43:02,160 from the light underneath some liquid 1117 00:43:07,270 --> 00:43:04,400 comes out and falls to the ground and ed 1118 00:43:08,870 --> 00:43:07,280 said he got some in a butter container 1119 00:43:10,309 --> 00:43:08,880 and he was going to 1120 00:43:14,309 --> 00:43:10,319 save it for 1121 00:43:17,589 --> 00:43:14,319 future analysis so this is more of a 1122 00:43:20,470 --> 00:43:17,599 low-key sighting as low-key as these get 1123 00:43:22,710 --> 00:43:20,480 but one thing that strikes me about 1124 00:43:23,990 --> 00:43:22,720 these encounters and i'm not saying 1125 00:43:25,430 --> 00:43:24,000 anything about the veracity of the 1126 00:43:27,270 --> 00:43:25,440 photographs we'll talk about the 1127 00:43:28,630 --> 00:43:27,280 veracity of the photographs 1128 00:43:30,710 --> 00:43:28,640 in the future 1129 00:43:32,950 --> 00:43:30,720 it is astonishing to me 1130 00:43:33,990 --> 00:43:32,960 that in the 1131 00:43:38,950 --> 00:43:34,000 terror 1132 00:43:41,829 --> 00:43:38,960 and horror and confusion and fear 1133 00:43:44,309 --> 00:43:41,839 that ed walters is undergoing while 1134 00:43:47,349 --> 00:43:44,319 seeing these craft while being 1135 00:43:49,270 --> 00:43:47,359 zapped at by beams while seeing strange 1136 00:43:51,670 --> 00:43:49,280 creatures next to his bed and hearing 1137 00:43:53,430 --> 00:43:51,680 conversations in spanish and 1138 00:43:55,990 --> 00:43:53,440 being told that his name apparently is 1139 00:43:57,670 --> 00:43:56,000 zahas and they have come for him that 1140 00:43:59,670 --> 00:43:57,680 he's still able 1141 00:44:02,790 --> 00:43:59,680 to snap off 1142 00:44:05,910 --> 00:44:02,800 fairly clear fairly well composed 1143 00:44:09,670 --> 00:44:05,920 photographs of the craft while all this 1144 00:44:12,309 --> 00:44:09,680 is going on i think this is absolutely 1145 00:44:14,230 --> 00:44:12,319 remarkable um it's it's an amazing 1146 00:44:16,230 --> 00:44:14,240 astounding thing again not being 1147 00:44:19,030 --> 00:44:16,240 sarcastic i i'm thinking 1148 00:44:21,109 --> 00:44:19,040 if this is what happened then 1149 00:44:24,470 --> 00:44:21,119 his equanimity 1150 00:44:26,150 --> 00:44:24,480 in the face of the unknown is fairly 1151 00:44:29,030 --> 00:44:26,160 admirable 1152 00:44:32,309 --> 00:44:29,040 one thing that continues to come through 1153 00:44:34,829 --> 00:44:32,319 in these encounters is ed's insistence 1154 00:44:38,710 --> 00:44:34,839 on at least portraying himself in the 1155 00:44:40,390 --> 00:44:38,720 book as a a very kind of well like i 1156 00:44:41,589 --> 00:44:40,400 said before he's a tough guy 1157 00:44:43,670 --> 00:44:41,599 you know he's 1158 00:44:45,430 --> 00:44:43,680 he's you know 1159 00:44:47,190 --> 00:44:45,440 slinging some profanity at the space 1160 00:44:48,710 --> 00:44:47,200 people and he's being defiant and he's 1161 00:44:51,270 --> 00:44:48,720 taking pictures whether they want him to 1162 00:44:53,430 --> 00:44:51,280 or not um but uh 1163 00:44:55,109 --> 00:44:53,440 it's it's interesting i i think it's 1164 00:44:57,990 --> 00:44:55,119 interesting and we are getting to an 1165 00:45:01,430 --> 00:44:58,000 interesting part of the story as we come 1166 00:45:04,950 --> 00:45:01,440 to the close of this first part of our 1167 00:45:06,630 --> 00:45:04,960 gulf breeze ufo sighting series of 1168 00:45:08,390 --> 00:45:06,640 episodes because we are getting into the 1169 00:45:12,150 --> 00:45:08,400 portion of the story 1170 00:45:14,470 --> 00:45:12,160 very soon here where the investigation 1171 00:45:18,150 --> 00:45:14,480 begins to pick up 1172 00:45:21,270 --> 00:45:18,160 the pace and the mutual ufo network 1173 00:45:25,030 --> 00:45:21,280 begins to get involved it begins on 1174 00:45:27,510 --> 00:45:25,040 december 27th 1987. in the chapter this 1175 00:45:31,190 --> 00:45:27,520 is titled the preliminary investigation 1176 00:45:37,270 --> 00:45:31,200 and donald ware the state director of 1177 00:45:40,870 --> 00:45:39,109 late in the day donald ware brought me a 1178 00:45:42,870 --> 00:45:40,880 copy of the report he intended to file 1179 00:45:44,630 --> 00:45:42,880 with mufon it contained copies of the 1180 00:45:46,230 --> 00:45:44,640 first five photos measurements of the 1181 00:45:48,309 --> 00:45:46,240 site where they had been taken and the 1182 00:45:49,829 --> 00:45:48,319 information i had given them 1183 00:45:52,309 --> 00:45:49,839 from mr x 1184 00:45:54,470 --> 00:45:52,319 donald told me to ask mr x to review the 1185 00:45:56,950 --> 00:45:54,480 report for accuracy there was a certain 1186 00:45:59,430 --> 00:45:56,960 look in his eyes the i know that you are 1187 00:46:02,950 --> 00:45:59,440 really mr x look he didn't say anything 1188 00:46:04,550 --> 00:46:02,960 more just gave me the report and left 1189 00:46:06,309 --> 00:46:04,560 i skimmed the pages picking up a word 1190 00:46:08,470 --> 00:46:06,319 here and there then dropped the report 1191 00:46:10,309 --> 00:46:08,480 on my desk i'd read it later now i 1192 00:46:12,309 --> 00:46:10,319 wasn't in the mood i didn't want to get 1193 00:46:14,470 --> 00:46:12,319 all the ufo information churning in my 1194 00:46:16,069 --> 00:46:14,480 head 1195 00:46:18,069 --> 00:46:16,079 you know it's always a strange 1196 00:46:20,230 --> 00:46:18,079 experience for me when somebody gives me 1197 00:46:22,630 --> 00:46:20,240 the i know you are really mr x look what 1198 00:46:24,390 --> 00:46:22,640 kind of look is that i i just there's a 1199 00:46:26,630 --> 00:46:24,400 i think there's a better way that he 1200 00:46:28,550 --> 00:46:26,640 could have phrased it so ed is is 1201 00:46:30,230 --> 00:46:28,560 getting kind of overwhelmed 1202 00:46:32,150 --> 00:46:30,240 by all of this stuff 1203 00:46:35,030 --> 00:46:32,160 going on he doesn't know why there's now 1204 00:46:36,870 --> 00:46:35,040 a different kind of ufo there why are 1205 00:46:38,870 --> 00:46:36,880 they after him 1206 00:46:40,950 --> 00:46:38,880 he closes his office door he's wrapping 1207 00:46:43,829 --> 00:46:40,960 a christmas present for francis and a 1208 00:46:46,470 --> 00:46:43,839 soft ringing starts in his head this is 1209 00:46:48,630 --> 00:46:46,480 different from a typical ringing in the 1210 00:46:52,069 --> 00:46:48,640 ears it's a lower pitch it started to 1211 00:46:57,829 --> 00:46:52,079 get louder until it became that hum 1212 00:47:01,750 --> 00:46:59,750 at first i sat at my desk and looked out 1213 00:47:05,190 --> 00:47:01,760 the window searching for any strange 1214 00:47:06,870 --> 00:47:05,200 glow in the sky nothing i left my office 1215 00:47:08,710 --> 00:47:06,880 i calmly crossed through the living room 1216 00:47:10,710 --> 00:47:08,720 so as not to disturb my daughter smiling 1217 00:47:12,230 --> 00:47:10,720 at her as i passed if i panicked she 1218 00:47:13,910 --> 00:47:12,240 would follow me and become even more 1219 00:47:15,109 --> 00:47:13,920 frightened of the ufo than she already 1220 00:47:17,270 --> 00:47:15,119 was 1221 00:47:18,390 --> 00:47:17,280 i went out onto the backyard steadied 1222 00:47:21,109 --> 00:47:18,400 myself against one of the wooden 1223 00:47:23,670 --> 00:47:21,119 windscreens and watched the sky 1224 00:47:25,510 --> 00:47:23,680 the hum was really rolling now i felt as 1225 00:47:28,069 --> 00:47:25,520 if my brain was vibrating from the force 1226 00:47:30,230 --> 00:47:28,079 of it my son dan stuck his head out the 1227 00:47:32,870 --> 00:47:30,240 back door and asked if i was okay i 1228 00:47:34,870 --> 00:47:32,880 tried to appear calm as i replied sure 1229 00:47:37,589 --> 00:47:34,880 no problem just looking at the pool 1230 00:47:39,030 --> 00:47:37,599 water we need to vacuum the bottom 1231 00:47:41,270 --> 00:47:39,040 i knew that all i had to say was pool 1232 00:47:42,870 --> 00:47:41,280 vacuum and dan would disappear 1233 00:47:45,190 --> 00:47:42,880 he went back inside and i wanted to grab 1234 00:47:47,990 --> 00:47:45,200 my head and scream the hum pressed deep 1235 00:47:50,069 --> 00:47:48,000 into my head if it didn't stop what then 1236 00:47:52,630 --> 00:47:50,079 five minutes passed the home was like a 1237 00:47:54,390 --> 00:47:52,640 siren pulsing with its high low pitch 1238 00:47:56,150 --> 00:47:54,400 the last time the hum had done this the 1239 00:47:57,990 --> 00:47:56,160 ufo dropped from the sky and the voice 1240 00:47:59,430 --> 00:47:58,000 demanded that i stepped forward i was 1241 00:48:01,510 --> 00:47:59,440 sweating what if they were going to do 1242 00:48:03,270 --> 00:48:01,520 this until i broke down nobody could 1243 00:48:05,510 --> 00:48:03,280 live with this vibration constantly 1244 00:48:06,790 --> 00:48:05,520 squeezing and throbbing in their head i 1245 00:48:08,390 --> 00:48:06,800 thought about getting in the truck and 1246 00:48:09,829 --> 00:48:08,400 trying to drive farther away from it but 1247 00:48:11,109 --> 00:48:09,839 i realized i wouldn't even know which 1248 00:48:12,870 --> 00:48:11,119 way to go 1249 00:48:15,190 --> 00:48:12,880 another four minutes passed and suddenly 1250 00:48:16,549 --> 00:48:15,200 the home stopped i slumped down and sat 1251 00:48:19,030 --> 00:48:16,559 at the edge of the wooden deck with the 1252 00:48:20,470 --> 00:48:19,040 dog at my feet my shirt was wet and i 1253 00:48:22,950 --> 00:48:20,480 could feel the sweat running down my 1254 00:48:26,069 --> 00:48:22,960 back i was cold and wanted just to go to 1255 00:48:27,589 --> 00:48:26,079 sleep the hum lasted about 10 minutes 1256 00:48:29,990 --> 00:48:27,599 the next day i discovered that during 1257 00:48:32,710 --> 00:48:30,000 the same time a man calling himself 1258 00:48:35,030 --> 00:48:32,720 believer bill had taken nine photographs 1259 00:48:38,390 --> 00:48:35,040 of three ufos he had seen less than two 1260 00:48:42,309 --> 00:48:40,150 and we're going to pick things up with 1261 00:48:45,270 --> 00:48:42,319 believer bill and his experiences and of 1262 00:48:46,710 --> 00:48:45,280 course more sightings by the walters 1263 00:48:50,069 --> 00:48:46,720 next time 1264 00:48:53,430 --> 00:48:50,079 but as we close out this first part of 1265 00:48:55,589 --> 00:48:53,440 the gulf breeze citing experience 1266 00:48:58,150 --> 00:48:55,599 i just want to say that 1267 00:49:00,710 --> 00:48:58,160 if you're wondering where the skepticism 1268 00:49:02,630 --> 00:49:00,720 is don't worry it's coming 1269 00:49:04,670 --> 00:49:02,640 these encounters sound amazing the 1270 00:49:06,390 --> 00:49:04,680 photos look 1271 00:49:07,349 --> 00:49:06,400 fantastically 1272 00:49:09,109 --> 00:49:07,359 clear 1273 00:49:11,349 --> 00:49:09,119 in some cases 1274 00:49:13,589 --> 00:49:11,359 but this isn't going to be an easy ride 1275 00:49:15,910 --> 00:49:13,599 for ed walters and francis walters and 1276 00:49:18,390 --> 00:49:15,920 those who are supportive of their 1277 00:49:20,470 --> 00:49:18,400 sightings there's going to be contention 1278 00:49:22,710 --> 00:49:20,480 and that contention is going to start 1279 00:49:24,549 --> 00:49:22,720 kicking off next time 1280 00:49:27,829 --> 00:49:24,559 but for right now you've got an idea of 1281 00:49:30,790 --> 00:49:27,839 what ed and his family are going through 1282 00:49:32,710 --> 00:49:30,800 the kinds of experiences he's having 1283 00:49:35,829 --> 00:49:32,720 and some hints that this is more than 1284 00:49:38,790 --> 00:49:35,839 just a lights in the sky sighting case 1285 00:49:40,590 --> 00:49:38,800 but it's not quite an abduction 1286 00:49:47,030 --> 00:49:40,600 not yet 1287 00:49:50,150 --> 00:49:48,790 thanks for listening
