1 00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:21,320 [Music] 2 00:00:26,390 --> 00:00:24,009 [Applause] 3 00:00:28,730 --> 00:00:26,400 be normal 4 00:00:30,470 --> 00:00:28,740 this is the saucer life a podcast in 5 00:00:31,970 --> 00:00:30,480 which we examine Concepts events for 6 00:00:34,370 --> 00:00:31,980 people orbiting the world of flying 7 00:00:36,889 --> 00:00:34,380 saucers a few preconceptions snark when 8 00:00:38,090 --> 00:00:36,899 Justified no belief no debunking today 9 00:00:39,950 --> 00:00:38,100 we're going to finish our look at the 10 00:00:42,709 --> 00:00:39,960 Gulf Breeze sightings examining Ed 11 00:00:45,830 --> 00:00:42,719 Walters last two books or second two 12 00:00:48,350 --> 00:00:45,840 books which were also his last two books 13 00:00:50,450 --> 00:00:48,360 and a couple of things about this 14 00:00:52,850 --> 00:00:50,460 episode first off if it sounds a little 15 00:00:55,549 --> 00:00:52,860 different it's because I'm recording on 16 00:00:58,790 --> 00:00:55,559 the road on a laptop with some mobile 17 00:01:01,729 --> 00:00:58,800 audio kit so it's it's not it's not in 18 00:01:04,850 --> 00:01:01,739 the studio so there might be a few sort 19 00:01:07,370 --> 00:01:04,860 of sound quirks I I'm gonna try to make 20 00:01:08,630 --> 00:01:07,380 it sound as good as possible the other 21 00:01:10,550 --> 00:01:08,640 thing is 22 00:01:12,230 --> 00:01:10,560 um this is going to be shorter than the 23 00:01:17,330 --> 00:01:12,240 first two Gulf Breeze episodes because 24 00:01:21,289 --> 00:01:17,340 so much in walters's second two books is 25 00:01:24,530 --> 00:01:21,299 simply a sort of recapitulation and a 26 00:01:28,670 --> 00:01:24,540 defense of what he wrote in the Gulf 27 00:01:32,210 --> 00:01:28,680 Breeze UFO sightings back in 1990s so 28 00:01:34,670 --> 00:01:32,220 there's there's not as much meat on the 29 00:01:37,310 --> 00:01:34,680 bones here and I'm not going to waste 30 00:01:43,030 --> 00:01:37,320 all of our time by by stretching things 31 00:01:49,670 --> 00:01:46,010 now if you have not listened to the 32 00:01:51,770 --> 00:01:49,680 first two Gulf Breeze episodes I I can't 33 00:01:53,389 --> 00:01:51,780 tell you what to do but this might make 34 00:01:56,090 --> 00:01:53,399 more sense to you if you were to go back 35 00:01:56,690 --> 00:01:56,100 and listen to those 36 00:01:58,969 --> 00:01:56,700 um 37 00:02:01,010 --> 00:01:58,979 if you don't want to you can dive right 38 00:02:03,109 --> 00:02:01,020 into this one but I think it would be 39 00:02:05,770 --> 00:02:03,119 helpful if you listened to those first 40 00:02:10,370 --> 00:02:05,780 so today we're going to be looking at 41 00:02:13,610 --> 00:02:10,380 what Ed Walters did next and what claims 42 00:02:17,510 --> 00:02:13,620 did he have and do these claims help or 43 00:02:20,330 --> 00:02:17,520 hurt his case that he saw these flying 44 00:02:22,250 --> 00:02:20,340 saucers so here's the story so far to 45 00:02:23,210 --> 00:02:22,260 remind you or to inform you if you 46 00:02:25,690 --> 00:02:23,220 haven't listened to those first two 47 00:02:29,449 --> 00:02:25,700 episodes Ed Walters and his wife Francis 48 00:02:33,350 --> 00:02:29,459 saw a number of UFOs in Gulf Breeze 49 00:02:36,170 --> 00:02:33,360 Florida in late 1987 into the spring of 50 00:02:38,510 --> 00:02:36,180 1988 they weren't the only people to 51 00:02:40,610 --> 00:02:38,520 have UFO sightings during this time in 52 00:02:45,530 --> 00:02:40,620 the area there were quite a few reported 53 00:02:48,309 --> 00:02:45,540 in the news but Ed Walters used his 54 00:02:51,170 --> 00:02:48,319 1970s Polaroid camera to take 55 00:02:54,130 --> 00:02:51,180 astoundingly detailed and interesting 56 00:02:57,770 --> 00:02:54,140 photos of some interesting looking UFOs 57 00:02:59,930 --> 00:02:57,780 and this generated lot of attention but 58 00:03:03,770 --> 00:02:59,940 also a lot of skepticism particularly 59 00:03:05,750 --> 00:03:03,780 once a model of a UFO was found in the 60 00:03:10,850 --> 00:03:05,760 house that Walters had lived in at the 61 00:03:14,390 --> 00:03:10,860 time by new owners so the UFO field such 62 00:03:16,550 --> 00:03:14,400 as it was was a bit split over the 63 00:03:18,290 --> 00:03:16,560 Walters photos there was a contingent 64 00:03:20,210 --> 00:03:18,300 that still is a contingent that believes 65 00:03:23,570 --> 00:03:20,220 these photos were 66 00:03:25,309 --> 00:03:23,580 absolutely authentic there's a much 67 00:03:28,610 --> 00:03:25,319 larger group of people within ufology 68 00:03:31,490 --> 00:03:28,620 that believed these photos to be hoaxes 69 00:03:34,270 --> 00:03:31,500 and that Ed Walters who had a reputation 70 00:03:38,210 --> 00:03:34,280 as a practical joker 71 00:03:40,369 --> 00:03:38,220 sort of started a a hoax a joke that got 72 00:03:43,250 --> 00:03:40,379 out of control and mushroomed and then 73 00:03:45,589 --> 00:03:43,260 he kept it going once he was able to 74 00:03:48,470 --> 00:03:45,599 sign a book deal for hundreds of 75 00:03:51,050 --> 00:03:48,480 thousands of dollars so when his book 76 00:03:53,869 --> 00:03:51,060 comes out in 1990 and then subsequently 77 00:03:55,850 --> 00:03:53,879 the controversy over the model begins 78 00:03:58,670 --> 00:03:55,860 and and claims and counter claims about 79 00:04:02,390 --> 00:03:58,680 how he faked the photograph 80 00:04:04,490 --> 00:04:02,400 um he kind of you know goes uh goes not 81 00:04:06,110 --> 00:04:04,500 goes underground but he sort of goes 82 00:04:09,890 --> 00:04:06,120 away for a little bit and starts working 83 00:04:13,429 --> 00:04:09,900 on the next phase of his story and I I 84 00:04:16,189 --> 00:04:13,439 do that does sound a bit a bit cynical 85 00:04:19,789 --> 00:04:16,199 but there's a sense that 86 00:04:22,790 --> 00:04:19,799 he needs to push things further and the 87 00:04:25,670 --> 00:04:22,800 result is the 1994 book from Ed Walters 88 00:04:28,370 --> 00:04:25,680 and Francis Walters entitled UFO 89 00:04:31,490 --> 00:04:28,380 abductions in Gulf Breeze the amazing 90 00:04:33,890 --> 00:04:31,500 true story of UFOs and the real visitors 91 00:04:36,230 --> 00:04:33,900 from outer space and in that subtitle 92 00:04:38,810 --> 00:04:36,240 that very long subtitle the the word 93 00:04:41,270 --> 00:04:38,820 real is larger than the other words and 94 00:04:43,189 --> 00:04:41,280 underlined and little flash in the 95 00:04:45,469 --> 00:04:43,199 corner says with clear detailed 96 00:04:48,290 --> 00:04:45,479 authenticated photos 97 00:04:51,409 --> 00:04:48,300 it's a great it's a great painted cover 98 00:04:53,749 --> 00:04:51,419 I'll put it up on actually it's on the 99 00:04:55,550 --> 00:04:53,759 the episode art for this episode has a a 100 00:04:58,670 --> 00:04:55,560 picture of this cover and it's uh 101 00:05:00,890 --> 00:04:58,680 absolutely absolutely amazing I I love 102 00:05:03,830 --> 00:05:00,900 it very much so whose abductions were 103 00:05:05,510 --> 00:05:03,840 these well these were Ed's abductions 104 00:05:08,030 --> 00:05:05,520 and you'll recall from the earlier 105 00:05:10,490 --> 00:05:08,040 episodes that there had been several 106 00:05:13,010 --> 00:05:10,500 cases where the blue beam from the ship 107 00:05:16,850 --> 00:05:13,020 was attempting to pull him up into the 108 00:05:19,070 --> 00:05:16,860 ship and he you know did not did not go 109 00:05:21,830 --> 00:05:19,080 he hung on or his wife hung on to his 110 00:05:25,430 --> 00:05:21,840 leg in one case and he was not sucked up 111 00:05:29,749 --> 00:05:25,440 into the ship but in the aftermath 112 00:05:31,010 --> 00:05:29,759 of the sightings Ed began to wonder what 113 00:05:33,230 --> 00:05:31,020 had really happened and there were 114 00:05:35,270 --> 00:05:33,240 periods of missing time during these 115 00:05:38,990 --> 00:05:35,280 sightings and he didn't really mention 116 00:05:42,350 --> 00:05:39,000 too clearly in the first book but now he 117 00:05:45,409 --> 00:05:42,360 he sort of is and he was wondering about 118 00:05:49,070 --> 00:05:45,419 how to explore this and he gets some 119 00:05:50,930 --> 00:05:49,080 advice about the best thing to do 120 00:05:52,670 --> 00:05:50,940 often as I awoke in the morning my 121 00:05:54,830 --> 00:05:52,680 subconscious released bursts of memory 122 00:05:56,450 --> 00:05:54,840 which made very little sense although I 123 00:05:58,490 --> 00:05:56,460 always wrote down these insights I only 124 00:05:59,990 --> 00:05:58,500 showed them to a few researchers they 125 00:06:01,610 --> 00:06:00,000 quickly connected these memories to what 126 00:06:03,110 --> 00:06:01,620 seemed to be a telepathic message I'd 127 00:06:05,529 --> 00:06:03,120 received while driving to the site of a 128 00:06:09,950 --> 00:06:05,539 dramatic UFO encounter on January 24 129 00:06:12,230 --> 00:06:09,960 1988 the message was in sleep you know 130 00:06:14,330 --> 00:06:12,240 the researchers felt that regressive 131 00:06:16,370 --> 00:06:14,340 hypnosis was the only way to unravel the 132 00:06:19,189 --> 00:06:16,380 Mysteries connected with the UFO and my 133 00:06:20,870 --> 00:06:19,199 life in an effort to answer why I 134 00:06:22,370 --> 00:06:20,880 finally agreed if there was something 135 00:06:24,950 --> 00:06:22,380 more to all of this than just the 136 00:06:27,469 --> 00:06:24,960 sightings I decided I wanted to know 137 00:06:29,390 --> 00:06:27,479 this book discloses each in sleep you 138 00:06:31,909 --> 00:06:29,400 know memory and details the many hours 139 00:06:33,770 --> 00:06:31,919 of regressive hypnosis each session was 140 00:06:35,749 --> 00:06:33,780 videotaped and is transcribed herein 141 00:06:38,029 --> 00:06:35,759 with my intermittent descriptions and 142 00:06:39,950 --> 00:06:38,039 comments based on those in-sleep you 143 00:06:42,230 --> 00:06:39,960 know memories and that hypnosis I've 144 00:06:43,670 --> 00:06:42,240 suggested certain answers much of what 145 00:06:45,230 --> 00:06:43,680 has happened might be interpreted 146 00:06:47,510 --> 00:06:45,240 differently and you may choose to do so 147 00:06:49,370 --> 00:06:47,520 but no matter how one speculates it is 148 00:06:51,860 --> 00:06:49,380 clear to me that I've experienced 149 00:06:54,770 --> 00:06:51,870 contact with an alien life form 150 00:06:58,850 --> 00:06:54,780 [Music] 151 00:07:03,170 --> 00:06:58,860 mufon folks hook Ed Walters up with Dan 152 00:07:05,270 --> 00:07:03,180 overlaid a clinical hypnotherapist who 153 00:07:08,330 --> 00:07:05,280 previously had met with Walters and 154 00:07:10,129 --> 00:07:08,340 certified him as not a sociopath when 155 00:07:12,469 --> 00:07:10,139 his credibility was questioned with 156 00:07:14,930 --> 00:07:12,479 regard to the photographs and his 157 00:07:16,850 --> 00:07:14,940 sightings overlaid in a chapter he 158 00:07:19,309 --> 00:07:16,860 authors in the book where he details how 159 00:07:20,809 --> 00:07:19,319 he got involved with the Ed Walters case 160 00:07:23,629 --> 00:07:20,819 describes himself as somebody who had 161 00:07:27,170 --> 00:07:23,639 read a Donald keyhoe book or two back in 162 00:07:29,950 --> 00:07:27,180 the day but was not deeply entrenched in 163 00:07:33,710 --> 00:07:29,960 the world of flying saucers 164 00:07:35,930 --> 00:07:33,720 which is good as far as that goes as you 165 00:07:38,930 --> 00:07:35,940 know from listening to the show I'm a 166 00:07:42,770 --> 00:07:38,940 little skeptical of the value and 167 00:07:45,110 --> 00:07:42,780 utility and in some cases safety of some 168 00:07:46,670 --> 00:07:45,120 of these hypnotic regression techniques 169 00:07:48,710 --> 00:07:46,680 things that have come to light in the 170 00:07:51,170 --> 00:07:48,720 last few years or so make me even more 171 00:07:52,430 --> 00:07:51,180 skeptical about it than I was at the 172 00:07:54,409 --> 00:07:52,440 beginning when I first heard about it 173 00:07:57,409 --> 00:07:54,419 now the missing time wasn't the only 174 00:08:01,610 --> 00:07:57,419 reason that Ed felt he needed more 175 00:08:05,089 --> 00:08:03,589 in the bathroom I ran a comb through my 176 00:08:06,830 --> 00:08:05,099 hair and felt a bump at the back of my 177 00:08:09,050 --> 00:08:06,840 head very close to the center of my neck 178 00:08:10,850 --> 00:08:09,060 I felt bruised and I went to the mirror 179 00:08:12,110 --> 00:08:10,860 to try to see what I could feel when I 180 00:08:13,730 --> 00:08:12,120 looked in the mirror I couldn't see the 181 00:08:15,589 --> 00:08:13,740 lump but as I turned around I 182 00:08:17,990 --> 00:08:15,599 immediately saw more than I expected to 183 00:08:19,490 --> 00:08:18,000 a large bruise with a red dot in the 184 00:08:21,650 --> 00:08:19,500 center was prominent between my eyes 185 00:08:23,029 --> 00:08:21,660 right at the bridge of my nose two more 186 00:08:25,490 --> 00:08:23,039 similar marks were centered on my 187 00:08:27,710 --> 00:08:25,500 temples each surrounded by a bruise I 188 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:27,720 was shocked what the hell had they done 189 00:08:30,830 --> 00:08:28,210 to me 190 00:08:34,310 --> 00:08:30,840 [Music] 191 00:08:36,430 --> 00:08:34,320 so Ed goes to see doctor overlaid and in 192 00:08:40,610 --> 00:08:36,440 the first sort of pre-hypnosis 193 00:08:42,230 --> 00:08:40,620 appointment overlaid teaches add some 194 00:08:44,810 --> 00:08:42,240 techniques for for how to get into a 195 00:08:47,090 --> 00:08:44,820 hypnotic state of mind or hypnotic State 196 00:08:49,070 --> 00:08:47,100 I guess and sort of the relaxation and 197 00:08:52,670 --> 00:08:49,080 sort of puts them under just a little 198 00:08:56,150 --> 00:08:52,680 bit and interestingly overlaid notes the 199 00:09:00,590 --> 00:08:56,160 facial twitches and and unconscious 200 00:09:03,410 --> 00:09:00,600 bodily movements that Ed had exhibited 201 00:09:05,990 --> 00:09:03,420 on that video that we talked about in 202 00:09:09,410 --> 00:09:06,000 the last episode that Jim Mosley uh sort 203 00:09:11,630 --> 00:09:09,420 of laughed at and the um his even Dwayne 204 00:09:13,430 --> 00:09:11,640

00:10:44,810 --> 00:10:42,360 for the sake of clarity the aliens 239 00:10:47,690 --> 00:10:44,820 continue to to grab him and drag him 240 00:10:51,050 --> 00:10:47,700 through the uh through the the park 241 00:10:53,750 --> 00:10:51,060 where he is he's struggling but he is 242 00:10:56,750 --> 00:10:53,760 unable to escape their uh their their 243 00:10:58,850 --> 00:10:56,760 power they zap

00:11:05,160 and this being an ed Walters book it 247 00:11:10,190 --> 00:11:07,260 should not surprise you that he paints 248 00:11:12,949 --> 00:11:10,200 himself in a fairly heroic light trying 249 00:11:17,210 --> 00:11:12,959 to fight the efforts of these evil gray 250 00:11:20,630 --> 00:11:19,130 I was on my back looking at the 251 00:11:22,430 --> 00:11:20,640 semi-circle of creatures standing 252 00:11:24,410 --> 00:11:22,440 motionless less than five feet from me 253 00:11:26,090 --> 00:11:24,420 the creature locked in the grip of my 254 00:11:28,250 --> 00:11:26,100 right arm had its back against my chest 255 00:11:30,170 --> 00:11:28,260 in the darkness I almost didn't realize 256 00:11:32,030 --> 00:11:30,180 what I held if the creature's helmet 257 00:11:34,069 --> 00:11:32,040 hadn't also protected its neck my arm 258 00:11:36,110 --> 00:11:34,079 would have been around its throat sand 259 00:11:37,850 --> 00:11:36,120 on my sweaty arm gritted against the 260 00:11:39,650 --> 00:11:37,860 smooth glassy surface of the creature's 261 00:11:41,569 --> 00:11:39,660 chest plate the creature began to 262 00:11:43,730 --> 00:11:41,579 struggle in a sour smell like mildew 263 00:11:45,530 --> 00:11:43,740 filled my nostrils its helmet rubbed on 264 00:11:47,870 --> 00:11:45,540 my shoulder the angle exposing the clear 265 00:11:49,790 --> 00:11:47,880 faceplate to my view only a few inches 266 00:11:52,009 --> 00:11:49,800 from my eyes my Tormentor seemed frail 267 00:11:54,170 --> 00:11:52,019 its eyes met mine and showed nothing but 268 00:11:55,670 --> 00:11:54,180 my reflection tightening my grip I 269 00:11:57,530 --> 00:11:55,680 pulled the two of us backward further 270 00:11:59,090 --> 00:11:57,540 into the brush with my left hand the 271 00:12:01,310 --> 00:11:59,100 creature still grasped the Silver Rod 272 00:12:03,050 --> 00:12:01,320 and began to thrash in panic striking 273 00:12:05,150 --> 00:12:03,060 blow after blow toward my head and left 274 00:12:06,710 --> 00:12:05,160 shoulder the bushes deflected the rod 275 00:12:09,470 --> 00:12:06,720 which I'm sure was some sort of stun 276 00:12:10,970 --> 00:12:09,480 weapon I wrapped my legs around its legs 277 00:12:13,370 --> 00:12:10,980 and finally managed to grab the rod 278 00:12:16,670 --> 00:12:13,380 swing arm at that moment my eyes became 279 00:12:22,190 --> 00:12:19,009 his vision goes blurry and when it it 280 00:12:25,490 --> 00:12:22,200 clears again he's in a room and his 281 00:12:26,930 --> 00:12:25,500 daughter Laura is in he sees her in a 282 00:12:29,150 --> 00:12:26,940 room he's looking in through the window 283 00:12:31,190 --> 00:12:29,160 and sees her she's yelling but he can't 284 00:12:34,310 --> 00:12:31,200 hear her she seems to be in some kind of 285 00:12:37,130 --> 00:12:34,320 distress she's choking and and this is 286 00:12:39,170 --> 00:12:37,140 very sort of troubling to him and he 287 00:12:41,569 --> 00:12:39,180 stops struggling with the aliens and 288 00:12:43,610 --> 00:12:41,579 they uh they they they take him and he 289 00:12:46,250 --> 00:12:43,620 ends up on a floor somewhere he can't 290 00:12:49,129 --> 00:12:46,260 see anything he's crawling around on his 291 00:12:51,230 --> 00:12:49,139 hands and knees his throat hurts he's 292 00:12:53,690 --> 00:12:51,240 very very concerned about his daughter 293 00:12:56,150 --> 00:12:53,700 there are voices speaking to him and and 294 00:12:59,569 --> 00:12:56,160 one voice becomes becomes louder talking 295 00:13:01,910 --> 00:12:59,579 to him it's a white-haired man who seems 296 00:13:04,790 --> 00:13:01,920 to be some kind of spokesman or leader 297 00:13:07,069 --> 00:13:04,800 of the group of aliens 298 00:13:09,170 --> 00:13:07,079 there's another voice this guy's talking 299 00:13:10,850 --> 00:13:09,180 to me this white-haired guy is talking 300 00:13:13,370 --> 00:13:10,860 to me he's just looking at me and all of 301 00:13:15,949 --> 00:13:13,380 a sudden I hear him he says zehas he 302 00:13:18,170 --> 00:13:15,959 says zejas you were always like this try 303 00:13:20,210 --> 00:13:18,180 to remember you were always like this 304 00:13:22,190 --> 00:13:20,220 try to remember 305 00:13:24,050 --> 00:13:22,200 yeah always like this well you remember 306 00:13:25,310 --> 00:13:24,060 you remember yeah you didn't ask me to 307 00:13:27,050 --> 00:13:25,320 come up here you didn't ask me to come 308 00:13:29,090 --> 00:13:27,060 to the stupid place I want you out of 309 00:13:30,889 --> 00:13:29,100 here I want my daughter oh Laura's all 310 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:30,899 right unless that's a trick are you 311 00:13:35,509 --> 00:13:32,090 tricking me 312 00:13:37,970 --> 00:13:35,519 [Music] 313 00:13:40,490 --> 00:13:37,980 what Ed begins to realize as he's having 314 00:13:42,590 --> 00:13:40,500 these experiences is that some of these 315 00:13:44,389 --> 00:13:42,600 scenes that he is witnessing some of the 316 00:13:47,750 --> 00:13:44,399 surroundings he's witnessing such as the 317 00:13:51,410 --> 00:13:47,760 room where Laura was were his bedroom as 318 00:13:53,449 --> 00:13:51,420 a child and so what he believes is 319 00:13:56,210 --> 00:13:53,459 happening is he is partially reliving 320 00:14:00,050 --> 00:13:56,220 abduction experiences he had when he was 321 00:14:02,629 --> 00:14:00,060 I think he says 11 years old and the way 322 00:14:05,269 --> 00:14:02,639 it's written is kind of confusing it's 323 00:14:08,150 --> 00:14:05,279 it's not entirely clear in the chapter 324 00:14:10,370 --> 00:14:08,160 where Ed and Francis are narrating what 325 00:14:13,610 --> 00:14:10,380 happened and using interspersed 326 00:14:16,790 --> 00:14:13,620 transcriptions of the hypnosis sessions 327 00:14:18,710 --> 00:14:16,800 but what seems to be the case is that Ed 328 00:14:21,470 --> 00:14:18,720 is not only reliving his abduction 329 00:14:25,730 --> 00:14:21,480 during the missing Time episode in the 330 00:14:29,930 --> 00:14:25,740 park but also some aspects of abductions 331 00:14:32,750 --> 00:14:29,940 he underwent as a child and he has 332 00:14:35,449 --> 00:14:32,760 another encounter during this session 333 00:14:39,009 --> 00:14:35,459 another conversation with the the white 334 00:14:45,590 --> 00:14:42,530 he said remember you remember now 335 00:14:47,569 --> 00:14:45,600 oh god oh this little creep I'd like to 336 00:14:48,769 --> 00:14:47,579 get my hands around his neck he can't do 337 00:14:50,870 --> 00:14:48,779 this to me 338 00:14:52,129 --> 00:14:50,880 the three around him have got Shields 339 00:14:54,829 --> 00:14:52,139 and they've got those rods and every 340 00:14:57,230 --> 00:14:54,839 time I step forward toward him the rods 341 00:14:59,870 --> 00:14:57,240 start to Glow he says you remember now 342 00:15:01,970 --> 00:14:59,880 yeah I remember you take people like me 343 00:15:05,030 --> 00:15:01,980 and you take them and do what you want 344 00:15:08,689 --> 00:15:05,040 says it's necessary he says it's 345 00:15:12,590 --> 00:15:08,699 necessary he says we must renew the news 346 00:15:14,030 --> 00:15:12,600 must learn the news must learn this 347 00:15:16,009 --> 00:15:14,040 little guy with a thing over his head 348 00:15:17,329 --> 00:15:16,019 kind of partly over his head he's got a 349 00:15:20,090 --> 00:15:17,339 little white looking hair coming out 350 00:15:21,230 --> 00:15:20,100 from under it he said the news must 351 00:15:29,389 --> 00:15:21,240 learn 352 00:15:31,910 --> 00:15:29,399 what do these things mean we don't know 353 00:15:34,370 --> 00:15:31,920 at this point but Ed says he would soon 354 00:15:36,769 --> 00:15:34,380 understand quote that these phrases cut 355 00:15:38,750 --> 00:15:36,779 to the absolute meaning of the alien 356 00:15:41,569 --> 00:15:38,760 abduction motive 357 00:15:43,490 --> 00:15:41,579 well that would be great if we were to 358 00:15:45,889 --> 00:15:43,500 uh if we were to find that there's then 359 00:15:48,170 --> 00:15:45,899 a little chapter where Dan overlaid goes 360 00:15:50,750 --> 00:15:48,180 over his analysis of the hypnosis 361 00:15:54,410 --> 00:15:50,760 session sort of fleshing out this idea 362 00:15:56,389 --> 00:15:54,420 that Ed was experiencing some aspects of 363 00:15:58,250 --> 00:15:56,399 things that happened to him when he was 364 00:16:01,910 --> 00:15:58,260 11 years old making him a repeat 365 00:16:05,569 --> 00:16:01,920 abductee over the course of his life 366 00:16:08,210 --> 00:16:05,579 and then the next chapter is sort of a 367 00:16:11,210 --> 00:16:08,220 break from the abduction stuff chapter 368 00:16:13,910 --> 00:16:11,220 seven is

Gulf Breeze 397 00:17:17,750 --> 00:17:15,900 for example was a in a dry county so 398 00:17:19,189 --> 00:17:17,760 there weren't any local bars in Gulf 399 00:17:22,669 --> 00:17:19,199 Breeze where

people behind the Flyers 408 00:17:45,409 --> 00:17:42,960 were from out of town and were part of 409 00:17:47,990 --> 00:17:45,419 an organized effort to suppress the 410 00:17:51,590 --> 00:17:48,000 truth about UFOs then we get into some 411 00:17:53,690 --> 00:17:51,600 more hypnosis sessions based on memories 412 00:17:56,210 --> 00:17:53,700 that Ed had had throughout his childhood 413 00:17:57,650 --> 00:17:56,220 for example when he was 17 years old he 414 00:18:00,289 --> 00:17:57,660 was going to the store to get some bread 415 00:18:02,090 --> 00:18:00,299 for his mom and he was being followed by 416 00:18:04,669 --> 00:18:02,100 a black dog now this is what he 417 00:18:07,789 --> 00:18:04,679 remembers consciously he said the dog 418 00:18:10,010 --> 00:18:07,799 followed him the dog was wrong something 419 00:18:12,169 --> 00:18:10,020 was very wrong with the dog he said the 420 00:18:13,909 --> 00:18:12,179 dog was acting much too deliberately it 421 00:18:15,830 --> 00:18:13,919 freaked him out later that night as he 422 00:18:17,810 --> 00:18:15,840 tried to go to sleep he had a sensation 423 00:18:19,970 --> 00:18:17,820 of somebody sitting on his bed or 424 00:18:22,370 --> 00:18:19,980 pushing his head down the room was dark 425 00:18:24,350 --> 00:18:22,380 but he could see shadowy gray forms move 426 00:18:25,070 --> 00:18:24,360 back and forth as he tried to focus on 427 00:18:27,289 --> 00:18:25,080 them 428 00:18:29,930 --> 00:18:27,299 he was scared he tried to curl up in a 429 00:18:32,330 --> 00:18:29,940 ball but later when he woke up his his 430 00:18:34,310 --> 00:18:32,340 brother didn't agree that there was 431 00:18:37,250 --> 00:18:34,320 anybody in the house but 432 00:18:39,350 --> 00:18:37,260 Ed was wet as if he'd been outside even 433 00:18:42,049 --> 00:18:39,360 though he hadn't been but he didn't 434 00:18:44,510 --> 00:18:42,059 really realize that anything was really 435 00:18:46,730 --> 00:18:44,520 wrong until after he was hypnotized and 436 00:18:48,529 --> 00:18:46,740 learned the entire story of what 437 00:18:50,990 --> 00:18:48,539 happened on that night we'll get to that 438 00:18:56,390 --> 00:18:51,000 hypnosis session after the break 439 00:19:00,350 --> 00:18:58,730 next time we're staying in Florida and 440 00:19:03,289 --> 00:19:00,360 looking at the

00:20:45,110 --> 00:20:38,039 Dan's hypnosis sessions 480 00:20:48,650 --> 00:20:46,970 during the series of hypnosis sessions 481 00:20:52,310 --> 00:20:48,660 where they delve into what happened to 482 00:20:54,470 --> 00:20:52,320 Ed when he was 17 we learned that the 483 00:20:56,570 --> 00:20:54,480 dog was strange for a number of reasons 484 00:20:59,450 --> 00:20:56,580 the way it was looking at Ed its head 485 00:21:01,730 --> 00:20:59,460 was turned in a way that an animal's 486 00:21:05,270 --> 00:21:01,740 head could not turn unless its neck was 487 00:21:07,610 --> 00:21:05,280 broken the eyes seemed oddly alien and 488 00:21:10,970 --> 00:21:07,620 the dog had no teeth it's very strange 489 00:21:14,630 --> 00:21:10,980 and then the action shifts to Ed being 490 00:21:16,190 --> 00:21:14,640 in a place naked the creatures gray 491 00:21:18,950 --> 00:21:16,200 creatures again like he's been seeing 492 00:21:22,190 --> 00:21:18,960 all along have removed his clothes and 493 00:21:25,669 --> 00:21:22,200 they've placed some sort of device like 494 00:21:27,110 --> 00:21:25,679 a dish like device over his genitals at 495 00:21:30,529 --> 00:21:27,120 this point in the first hypnosis session 496 00:21:33,830 --> 00:21:30,539 he is very agitated and Doctor overlaid 497 00:21:37,789 --> 00:21:33,840 brings him out of it they go back in a 498 00:21:40,250 --> 00:21:37,799 bit later and he reports Ed reports or 499 00:21:43,370 --> 00:21:40,260 recounts that a rod was stuck in his 500 00:21:46,610 --> 00:21:43,380 nose and something was placed inside his 501 00:21:49,310 --> 00:21:46,620 skull so basically you're standard alien 502 00:21:51,350 --> 00:21:49,320 implant sort of thing he's then left 503 00:21:53,870 --> 00:21:51,360 alone in the room he looks around it's a 504 00:21:55,310 --> 00:21:53,880 empty room with a shiny table that has a 505 00:21:57,169 --> 00:21:55,320 serial number on it 506 00:21:59,870 --> 00:21:57,179 he leaves the room and goes into the 507 00:22:02,870 --> 00:21:59,880 corridor and is confronted by the 508 00:22:05,390 --> 00:22:02,880 creatures again he tries to run and a 509 00:22:07,549 --> 00:22:05,400 blue beam like he's experienced from the 510 00:22:11,029 --> 00:22:07,559 craft comes down from the ceiling and 511 00:22:13,310 --> 00:22:11,039 freezes him in place he then jumps in 512 00:22:14,870 --> 00:22:13,320 the narrative to being age 29 with 513 00:22:17,810 --> 00:22:14,880 similar things happening then he's back 514 00:22:19,549 --> 00:22:17,820 to age 17. it's it's very confusing 515 00:22:22,789 --> 00:22:19,559 because it's it's sort of presented as 516 00:22:26,029 --> 00:22:22,799 little bits of of narration interspersed 517 00:22:28,370 --> 00:22:26,039 with dialogue from the transcripts with 518 00:22:30,409 --> 00:22:28,380 inside the transcripts in the 519 00:22:35,149 --> 00:22:30,419 parentheses sort of almost stage 520 00:22:36,890 --> 00:22:35,159 directions of how Ed was was talking you 521 00:22:39,409 --> 00:22:36,900 know his um 522 00:22:41,990 --> 00:22:39,419 level of agitation sighing grunting 523 00:22:44,510 --> 00:22:42,000 crying things like that so it's it's a 524 00:22:46,850 --> 00:22:44,520 very disjointed thing to read we then 525 00:22:50,149 --> 00:22:46,860 get a story of when Ed was 25 years old 526 00:22:52,250 --> 00:22:50,159 just a young draftsman 527 00:22:54,350 --> 00:22:52,260 starting out in the architecture and 528 00:22:57,110 --> 00:22:54,360 building industry and he was out driving 529 00:22:59,510 --> 00:22:57,120 on a job and he had a strange experience 530 00:23:02,210 --> 00:22:59,520 at a roadside and he always just thought 531 00:23:05,630 --> 00:23:02,220 it was exhaustion heat stroke 532 00:23:07,970 --> 00:23:05,640 you know some sort of weird thing but 533 00:23:09,950 --> 00:23:07,980 wants to get hypnotized you realize 534 00:23:12,409 --> 00:23:09,960 what's really going on and what really 535 00:23:13,909 --> 00:23:12,419 had happened when he was 25 was that he 536 00:23:16,549 --> 00:23:13,919 was trapped in a compound with some 537 00:23:19,190 --> 00:23:16,559 alien lizard people and he helped a pair 538 00:23:23,630 --> 00:23:19,200 of young children escape from these 539 00:23:27,350 --> 00:23:25,669 the little girl could not keep up and I 540 00:23:29,390 --> 00:23:27,360 was dragging her by the arm while in a 541 00:23:30,890 --> 00:23:29,400 full Sprint I glanced back and could see 542 00:23:32,390 --> 00:23:30,900 only the curve of the tunnel disappear 543 00:23:34,549 --> 00:23:32,400 into the same bright lighting that was 544 00:23:36,049 --> 00:23:34,559 also ahead of us without losing stride I 545 00:23:37,490 --> 00:23:36,059 released my grip on the boy's arm and 546 00:23:39,409 --> 00:23:37,500 snatched the girl up onto my right hip 547 00:23:41,510 --> 00:23:39,419 then reached out for the boy who was now 548 00:23:43,130 --> 00:23:41,520 slightly ahead of me confused thought 549 00:23:45,529 --> 00:23:43,140 swirled in my mind that I yelled out 550 00:23:47,750 --> 00:23:45,539 this can't be my chest heaved and I 551 00:23:49,669 --> 00:23:47,760 struggled to inhale the thick air it was 552 00:23:52,070 --> 00:23:49,679 heavy as if Laden with an invisible 553 00:23:54,110 --> 00:23:52,080 additive I began to slow while the boy 554 00:23:57,169 --> 00:23:54,120 ran on farther ahead so much that the 555 00:23:58,850 --> 00:23:57,179 girl called to him Gary wait for us I 556 00:24:00,289 --> 00:23:58,860 let the girl slide down to the floor so 557 00:24:02,090 --> 00:24:00,299 she could catch up to Gary who was 558 00:24:04,190 --> 00:24:02,100 apparently her brother they both looked 559 00:24:06,230 --> 00:24:04,200 back at me but I motioned them on alone 560 00:24:08,450 --> 00:24:06,240 I listened and watched the curve for any 561 00:24:10,190 --> 00:24:08,460 sign that we were being followed bracing 562 00:24:12,890 --> 00:24:10,200 myself by leaning forward and holding my 563 00:24:14,330 --> 00:24:12,900 knees I waited gasping for breath my 564 00:24:16,610 --> 00:24:14,340 eyes watered and I squinted to Shield 565 00:24:18,049 --> 00:24:16,620 them from the brightness I'd only gotten 566 00:24:19,430 --> 00:24:18,059 a quick look at what was coming out of 567 00:24:21,409 --> 00:24:19,440 the red glow but I was sure it was 568 00:24:23,330 --> 00:24:21,419 lizards there had been no mistaking the 569 00:24:24,710 --> 00:24:23,340 side of that huge Lizard Head swaggering 570 00:24:26,990 --> 00:24:24,720 into side light from around the wall 571 00:24:29,450 --> 00:24:27,000 opening lizards three of the biggest 572 00:24:31,430 --> 00:24:29,460 lizards possible at least 10 feet from 573 00:24:33,350 --> 00:24:31,440 nose to tail there was no confusion 574 00:24:37,909 --> 00:24:33,360 about it these were not alligators or 575 00:24:41,710 --> 00:24:39,649 so we have lizards maybe not lizard 576 00:24:44,630 --> 00:24:41,720 people but giant lizards we have General 577 00:24:47,210 --> 00:24:44,640 Normal Grays we've got the one being 578 00:24:51,110 --> 00:24:47,220 with the white hair we then in this 579 00:24:56,210 --> 00:24:51,120 hypnosis session meet smaller creatures 580 00:25:00,289 --> 00:24:56,220 who are more friendly or at least more 581 00:25:02,029 --> 00:25:00,299 or less actively abusive to Ed with he 582 00:25:04,430 --> 00:25:02,039 says they remind him of the big-eyed 583 00:25:06,950 --> 00:25:04,440 children that you would see in paintings 584 00:25:08,570 --> 00:25:06,960 and pictures a few years ago which for 585 00:25:10,610 --> 00:25:08,580 some reason I'm thinking he means like 586 00:25:12,710 --> 00:25:10,620 those precious moments figurines I'm 587 00:25:15,230 --> 00:25:12,720 thinking that's the kind of thing he's 588 00:25:17,210 --> 00:25:15,240 going for the timing seems right in the 589 00:25:20,390 --> 00:25:17,220 early 90s for Precious Moments figurines 590 00:25:21,169 --> 00:25:20,400 to be a thing from a few years ago he's 591 00:25:24,830 --> 00:25:21,179 got 592 00:25:28,970 --> 00:25:24,840 of these of these encounters that he has 593 00:25:32,630 --> 00:25:28,980 there's one when he was 29 29 33 years 594 00:25:35,870 --> 00:25:32,640 old an interrupted canoe trip but 595 00:25:37,310 --> 00:25:35,880 it all seems to be of a piece with each 596 00:25:40,310 --> 00:25:37,320 other there's a lot not a lot of 597 00:25:42,830 --> 00:25:40,320 variation until he meets one more of 598 00:25:45,230 --> 00:25:42,840 these creatures a woman or a female who 599 00:25:47,690 --> 00:25:45,240 said that that he he is that she is of 600 00:25:50,510 --> 00:25:47,700 the 13 so this number 13 and a group of 601 00:25:53,990 --> 00:25:50,520 13 of these smaller creatures are 602 00:25:57,409 --> 00:25:54,000 becoming more prominent it really is all 603 00:25:57,950 --> 00:25:57,419 over the place I'm trying to make it as 604 00:26:01,490 --> 00:25:57,960 um 605 00:26:05,390 --> 00:26:01,500 Compact and streamlined as I can but one 606 00:26:09,350 --> 00:26:05,400 of the things that really really 607 00:26:11,810 --> 00:26:09,360 um interests me is when he would have 608 00:26:15,470 --> 00:26:11,820 these hypnotic regression sessions and 609 00:26:18,830 --> 00:26:15,480 see himself as some other type of person 610 00:26:21,710 --> 00:26:18,840 somebody who isn't at Walters the alien 611 00:26:25,430 --> 00:26:21,720 woman touches him and he has flashes of 612 00:26:29,630 --> 00:26:25,440 memory where he is a black man in one 613 00:26:32,870 --> 00:26:29,640 instance or a a a a young man whose 614 00:26:35,750 --> 00:26:32,880 father was a Cheyenne Indian who had 615 00:26:38,810 --> 00:26:35,760 kidnapped and raped a white woman and he 616 00:26:41,870 --> 00:26:38,820 was the result of that and another one 617 00:26:44,029 --> 00:26:41,880 where he was a young boy who he 618 00:26:47,210 --> 00:26:44,039 described as um 619 00:26:49,730 --> 00:26:47,220 as brown which seems an unfortunate way 620 00:26:52,130 --> 00:26:49,740 to say it and he says quote the visions 621 00:26:54,289 --> 00:26:52,140 of the black man the Half Breed and the 622 00:26:56,149 --> 00:26:54,299 Indian boy are an absolute mystery to me 623 00:26:58,130 --> 00:26:56,159 how they should be interpreted depends 624 00:26:59,990 --> 00:26:58,140 on your philosophical beliefs how they 625 00:27:01,549 --> 00:27:00,000 are rationalized along with the UFO 626 00:27:03,649 --> 00:27:01,559 Abduction phenomenon I will leave to 627 00:27:05,570 --> 00:27:03,659 others but since they're a part of 628 00:27:07,610 --> 00:27:05,580 events I recalled while under hypnosis I 629 00:27:09,289 --> 00:27:07,620 include them as possible real events but 630 00:27:11,810 --> 00:27:09,299 also recognize they might have been 631 00:27:15,529 --> 00:27:11,820 alien manipulations end quote 632 00:27:18,169 --> 00:27:15,539 so Ed doesn't know what these are if 633 00:27:20,630 --> 00:27:18,179 these are past incarnations of himself 634 00:27:23,269 --> 00:27:20,640 if he's being shown the experiences of 635 00:27:27,350 --> 00:27:23,279 other people through their eyes by the 636 00:27:30,049 --> 00:27:27,360 aliens he's just not sure but he has 637 00:27:33,590 --> 00:27:30,059 these these visions of um of these other 638 00:27:35,930 --> 00:27:33,600 people's lives it's it's very very 639 00:27:37,430 --> 00:27:35,940 strange in fact it's strange enough that 640 00:27:39,169 --> 00:27:37,440 that it's I think one of the more 641 00:27:41,149 --> 00:27:39,179 interesting parts of the book because he 642 00:27:43,549 --> 00:27:41,159 doesn't just come out and say this was 643 00:27:45,289 --> 00:27:43,559 you know this is what it was he leaves 644 00:27:47,029 --> 00:27:45,299 it very ambiguous he says it you know 645 00:27:50,090 --> 00:27:47,039 basically I'm not qualified to judge 646 00:27:51,950 --> 00:27:50,100 what these experiences mean or what 647 00:27:56,510 --> 00:27:51,960 might have happened as the book 648 00:27:59,090 --> 00:27:56,520 continues we get more instances of the 649 00:28:01,549 --> 00:27:59,100 talk of the coming of the news and the 650 00:28:04,490 --> 00:28:01,559 News must be informed or the news must 651 00:28:07,549 --> 00:28:04,500 be brought forward and it becomes clear 652 00:28:10,370 --> 00:28:07,559 that this is not news as in newspaper or 653 00:28:13,430 --> 00:28:10,380 Nightly News on the television it's new 654 00:28:17,210 --> 00:28:13,440 and then with an S to make it plural 655 00:28:20,029 --> 00:28:17,220 the new what at the conclusion of his 656 00:28:22,789 --> 00:28:20,039 experiences having been given all kinds 657 00:28:24,649 --> 00:28:22,799 of cryptic clues about the news and in 658 00:28:27,169 --> 00:28:24,659 dreams you remember or in sleep you 659 00:28:29,330 --> 00:28:27,179 remember and things like that Ed Walters 660 00:28:31,010 --> 00:28:29,340 comes to some conclusions about what 661 00:28:36,590 --> 00:28:31,020 might be going on not just with his 662 00:28:41,930 --> 00:28:39,350 do UFOs exist yes there is no doubt in 663 00:28:44,750 --> 00:28:41,940 my mind do UFOs come from outer space 664 00:28:45,769 --> 00:28:44,760 maybe I don't know it certainly seems 665 00:28:47,390 --> 00:28:45,779 possible 666 00:28:48,830 --> 00:28:47,400 whether these beings are from outer 667 00:28:51,049 --> 00:28:48,840 space another dimension or our own 668 00:28:52,010 --> 00:28:51,059 future they're alien to our time our 669 00:28:53,710 --> 00:28:52,020 culture 670 00:28:56,090 --> 00:28:53,720 what is the purpose of alien abduction 671 00:28:57,950 --> 00:28:56,100 based solely on my experience I must 672 00:29:01,190 --> 00:28:57,960 answer interaction physically and 673 00:29:02,630 --> 00:29:01,200 emotionally to rejuvenate or develop a 674 00:29:04,250 --> 00:29:02,640 new species 675 00:29:05,810 --> 00:29:04,260 these conclusions spring from the 676 00:29:07,970 --> 00:29:05,820 personal encounters that I've disclosed 677 00:29:09,350 --> 00:29:07,980 openly in this book my answers are 678 00:29:11,330 --> 00:29:09,360 possibilities which seem to be 679 00:29:12,830 --> 00:29:11,340 acceptable the things that I saw and 680 00:29:14,590 --> 00:29:12,840 heard I have interpreted only on the 681 00:29:16,970 --> 00:29:14,600 basis of my own personal intellect 682 00:29:18,950 --> 00:29:16,980 philosophically I mean I see myself as 683 00:29:21,230 --> 00:29:18,960 neutral but I also acknowledge that I 684 00:29:23,090 --> 00:29:21,240 have like everybody certain preconceived 685 00:29:24,590 --> 00:29:23,100 and subjective ideas that may color my 686 00:29:26,870 --> 00:29:24,600 conclusions 687 00:29:29,930 --> 00:29:26,880 [Music] 688 00:29:32,210 --> 00:29:29,940 so a new species being created this 689 00:29:35,029 --> 00:29:32,220 isn't too different from what we've seen 690 00:29:36,950 --> 00:29:35,039 in other abduction scenarios about the 691 00:29:42,409 --> 00:29:36,960 creation of hybrids indeed this book 692 00:29:46,090 --> 00:29:42,419 comes out in 1994 the hybrids the that 693 00:29:49,909 --> 00:29:46,100 sort of thing it's it's becoming sort of 694 00:29:51,590 --> 00:29:49,919 accepted UFO Abduction lore sort of 695 00:29:53,510 --> 00:29:51,600 running parallel to some of the other 696 00:29:56,690 --> 00:29:53,520 things like the aliens are implanting us 697 00:29:58,430 --> 00:29:56,700 to be a employment could be an army that 698 00:30:00,649 --> 00:29:58,440 will rise up and help the aliens take 699 00:30:02,090 --> 00:30:00,659 over when you know everything falls 700 00:30:05,930 --> 00:30:02,100 apart 701 00:30:08,590 --> 00:30:05,940 so that's sort of the conclusion of Ed's 702 00:30:10,909 --> 00:30:08,600 recountings of his own 703 00:30:13,730 --> 00:30:10,919 abduction experiences and and the 704 00:30:15,830 --> 00:30:13,740 hypnosis there's really no real 705 00:30:17,450 --> 00:30:15,840 sort of firm conclusion he's got some 706 00:30:19,730 --> 00:30:17,460 suppositions but leaves the door open 707 00:30:22,010 --> 00:30:19,740 for him being wrong which is actually 708 00:30:23,690 --> 00:30:22,020 kind of refreshing I like that but then 709 00:30:26,810 --> 00:30:23,700 there's a whole another chunk of the 710 00:30:29,690 --> 00:30:26,820 book probably about 50 pages where he 711 00:30:32,990 --> 00:30:29,700 goes into the you know defending himself 712 00:30:35,149 --> 00:30:33,000 against the fake saucer model that was 713 00:30:37,669 --> 00:30:35,159 supposedly planted in his house by the 714 00:30:41,510 --> 00:30:37,679 evil debunkers he he goes into other 715 00:30:43,909 --> 00:30:41,520 attempts to um to you know sow Discord 716 00:30:46,669 --> 00:30:43,919 among the UFO community and and rally 717 00:30:48,529 --> 00:30:46,679 people against his story and he also 718 00:30:51,110 --> 00:30:48,539 spends a few pages talking about six 719 00:30:53,810 --> 00:30:51,120 soldiers who show up in Gulf Breeze for 720 00:30:55,430 --> 00:30:53,820 no apparent reason or reasons that are 721 00:30:58,130 --> 00:30:55,440 deeply strange 722 00:31:00,590 --> 00:30:58,140 but that's a topic for next time when we 723 00:31:04,250 --> 00:31:00,600 talk about the Gulf Breeze six 724 00:31:06,590 --> 00:31:04,260 so this second book was also co-authored 725 00:31:07,970 --> 00:31:06,600 with his wife Francis Walters I'm not 726 00:31:10,070 --> 00:31:07,980 sure if she was still his wife at the 727 00:31:12,889 --> 00:31:10,080 time they did get divorced at one point 728 00:31:14,630 --> 00:31:12,899 and Jim Mosley in his book shockingly 729 00:31:16,789 --> 00:31:14,640 close to the truth tells the story of 730 00:31:18,230 --> 00:31:16,799 having dinner with Ed and Francis as 731 00:31:19,909 --> 00:31:18,240 they were going through their divorce 732 00:31:21,350 --> 00:31:19,919 and I don't have it with me right now 733 00:31:23,750 --> 00:31:21,360 recording but he says something along 734 00:31:25,430 --> 00:31:23,760 the lines of well I'd make it worth your 735 00:31:26,690 --> 00:31:25,440 while if one of you wanted to tell me 736 00:31:28,549 --> 00:31:26,700 the real story 737 00:31:29,990 --> 00:31:28,559 regardless of what the other one wants 738 00:31:31,850 --> 00:31:30,000 or something like that and he says they 739 00:31:33,710 --> 00:31:31,860 both gave him a sort of interesting look 740 00:31:35,269 --> 00:31:33,720 but neither of them ever came forward 741 00:31:38,389 --> 00:31:35,279 with anything different than what they 742 00:31:40,789 --> 00:31:38,399 had said before so what's interesting is 743 00:31:42,950 --> 00:31:40,799 is the first book Is authored by Ed and 744 00:31:44,870 --> 00:31:42,960 Francis Walters and the second book is 745 00:31:47,389 --> 00:31:44,880 authored by Ed Walters and Francis 746 00:31:49,190 --> 00:31:47,399 Walters which is a different and that 747 00:31:51,289 --> 00:31:49,200 might not indicate that they'd divorced 748 00:31:53,690 --> 00:31:51,299 by that time but I think it does now 749 00:31:57,830 --> 00:31:53,700 Walters third book 750 00:32:01,130 --> 00:31:57,840 the boringly and sort of 751 00:32:04,130 --> 00:32:01,140 clumsily titled UFOs are real here's the 752 00:32:07,250 --> 00:32:04,140 proof is credited to Edward Walters not 753 00:32:09,350 --> 00:32:07,260 Ed and his co-author Bruce Maccabee PhD 754 00:32:11,930 --> 00:32:09,360 and it has an introduction by George 755 00:32:14,810 --> 00:32:11,940 feiler major George feiler of filer's 756 00:32:17,570 --> 00:32:14,820 files which is Coalition of UFO 757 00:32:21,169 --> 00:32:17,580 sightings reports this book 758 00:32:23,029 --> 00:32:21,179 um I'm not going to spend much time on 759 00:32:25,730 --> 00:32:23,039 this actually 760 00:32:28,130 --> 00:32:25,740 um it's it recounts the Gulf Breeze 761 00:32:32,269 --> 00:32:28,140 thing it doesn't talk much about his 762 00:32:35,149 --> 00:32:32,279 abductions at all and it's mostly given 763 00:32:37,549 --> 00:32:35,159 over to the fact that 764 00:32:39,950 --> 00:32:37,559 there's no way Ed could have faked those 765 00:32:42,230 --> 00:32:39,960 UFO photos here are other UFO photos 766 00:32:43,810 --> 00:32:42,240 here am I Bruce Maccabee giving you my 767 00:32:48,049 --> 00:32:43,820 expert opinion about why these photos 768 00:32:50,630 --> 00:32:48,059 aren't fake it's very much a 769 00:32:55,549 --> 00:32:50,640 I don't want to say generic UFO book but 770 00:32:57,950 --> 00:32:55,559 it's it's kind of a generic UFO book 771 00:33:00,409 --> 00:32:57,960 so and that's really all I want to say 772 00:33:01,850 --> 00:33:00,419 about it it's it's very boring I'm sad 773 00:33:04,430 --> 00:33:01,860 that I read it 774 00:33:06,470 --> 00:33:04,440 so where does this leave us 775 00:33:09,950 --> 00:33:06,480 as far as I know I don't believe Ed 776 00:33:11,990 --> 00:33:09,960 Walters has died but he has remained off 777 00:33:15,009 --> 00:33:12,000 the scene after that third really after 778 00:33:19,430 --> 00:33:15,019 that third book was was published in 779 00:33:21,710 --> 00:33:19,440 1997. in numerous stories about for the 780 00:33:23,750 --> 00:33:21,720 30th anniversary of Gulf Breeze and and 781 00:33:26,930 --> 00:33:23,760 other anniversaries news stories in 782 00:33:29,750 --> 00:33:26,940 Florida usually have some mention of the 783 00:33:32,090 --> 00:33:29,760 fact that Ed Walters did not respond to 784 00:33:34,070 --> 00:33:32,100 requests for interviews um but usually 785 00:33:36,590 --> 00:33:34,080 something like he's he just says he 786 00:33:40,130 --> 00:33:36,600 stands by his story 787 00:33:42,409 --> 00:33:40,140 the gulf free sightings remain a hot 788 00:33:44,570 --> 00:33:42,419 button in ufology there are there are 789 00:33:48,590 --> 00:33:44,580 people who believe those photos are 790 00:33:51,350 --> 00:33:48,600 authentic and others who say the photos 791 00:33:53,090 --> 00:33:51,360 might not be authentic Walters might 792 00:33:55,490 --> 00:33:53,100 have been scamming people or or 793 00:33:58,130 --> 00:33:55,500 promulgating a hoax but that doesn't 794 00:33:59,690 --> 00:33:58,140 negate the other sightings that took 795 00:34:03,110 --> 00:33:59,700 place in Gulf Breeze during that time 796 00:34:05,810 --> 00:34:03,120 during that during that wave and then as 797 00:34:07,490 --> 00:34:05,820 we're going to see next time the 798 00:34:11,389 --> 00:34:07,500 the 799 00:34:14,450 --> 00:34:11,399 Gulf Breeze 6 incident was was very 800 00:34:17,750 --> 00:34:14,460 strange and and also sort of added to 801 00:34:20,210 --> 00:34:17,760 the the Mystique surrounding the Gulf 802 00:34:23,389 --> 00:34:20,220 Breeze the Gulf Breeze sightings and in 803 00:34:24,889 --> 00:34:23,399 fact if I'd planned this out better I 804 00:34:27,950 --> 00:34:24,899 probably could have 805 00:34:29,450 --> 00:34:27,960 put this at the end of the second part 806 00:34:31,070 --> 00:34:29,460 and made Gulf Breeze a two-parter 807 00:34:32,510 --> 00:34:31,080 instead of what is this a two and a half 808 00:34:34,369 --> 00:34:32,520 parter 809 00:34:38,089 --> 00:34:34,379 um but I I think I think it works pretty 810 00:34:39,950 --> 00:34:38,099 well this is sort of a nice Coda to the 811 00:34:42,470 --> 00:34:39,960 whole thing and as I said next time 812 00:34:45,710 --> 00:34:42,480 we'll be talking about the Gulf Breeze 813 00:34:48,589 --> 00:34:45,720 the Gulf Breeze six but for now 814 00:34:50,089 --> 00:34:48,599 I think I'm done with the Gulf Breeze 815 00:34:52,730 --> 00:34:50,099 sightings and if anybody has any 816 00:34:55,369 --> 00:34:52,740 information on what Ed Walters is up to 817 00:34:58,490 --> 00:34:55,379 now if anything pass that information 818 00:35:01,250 --> 00:34:58,500 along along with any other questions and 819 00:35:03,829 --> 00:35:01,260 comments you have personally 820 00:35:05,450 --> 00:35:03,839 for my part and I I know I'm I'm just 821 00:35:08,210 --> 00:35:05,460 somebody looking at the thing 30 some 822 00:35:11,030 --> 00:35:08,220 years later I I think Ed Walters got in 823 00:35:13,609 --> 00:35:11,040 over his head on a hoax and I think he 824 00:35:17,390 --> 00:35:13,619 found a way to make a large amount of 825 00:35:21,109 --> 00:35:17,400 money off it thank you Jane Pauley and 826 00:35:23,630 --> 00:35:21,119 an unlimited Financial opportunity but 827 00:35:25,250 --> 00:35:23,640 once that model was found things started 828 00:35:27,349 --> 00:35:25,260 to go bad and then when other people 829 00:35:29,329 --> 00:35:27,359 came out and said yeah yeah he wanted me 830 00:35:31,010 --> 00:35:29,339 to help him take these fake photos and 831 00:35:32,690 --> 00:35:31,020 he's always playing practical jokes and 832 00:35:35,930 --> 00:35:32,700 he showed us how to do double exposures 833 00:35:37,730 --> 00:35:35,940 on his old Polaroid then it sort of 834 00:35:39,770 --> 00:35:37,740 begins to fall apart for him he gets 835 00:35:42,530 --> 00:35:39,780 very very defensive 836 00:35:45,530 --> 00:35:42,540 um and doubles down on everything and I 837 00:35:47,930 --> 00:35:45,540 think this abductions book is another 838 00:35:49,370 --> 00:35:47,940 way of doubling down I'm not denying 839 00:35:52,089 --> 00:35:49,380 that he might have had anomalous 840 00:35:55,390 --> 00:35:52,099 experiences but 841 00:35:59,450 --> 00:35:55,400 ah you have to you have to wonder 842 00:36:03,170 --> 00:35:59,460 sometimes because some of the sounds 843 00:36:04,730 --> 00:36:03,180 very dramatic and that leads me to maybe 844 00:36:05,870 --> 00:36:04,740 the last thing I want to say about at 845 00:36:10,430 --> 00:36:05,880 Walters 846 00:36:14,450 --> 00:36:10,440 I think he might be one of the best just 847 00:36:17,630 --> 00:36:14,460 writers in the UFO field these are 848 00:36:20,569 --> 00:36:17,640 compelling stories when he's telling the 849 00:36:22,849 --> 00:36:20,579 stories and and phrasing himself as a as 850 00:36:24,710 --> 00:36:22,859 an action hero it's entertaining stuff 851 00:36:27,710 --> 00:36:24,720 that doesn't mean it's necessarily true 852 00:36:28,970 --> 00:36:27,720 just that he he has a way of of writing 853 00:36:32,810 --> 00:36:28,980 the book to sort of keep the story 854 00:36:34,910 --> 00:36:32,820 cooking as it goes along you see this in 855 00:36:37,730 --> 00:36:34,920 the first book The the Gulf Breeze UFO 856 00:36:39,950 --> 00:36:37,740 sightings book but UFO abductions in 857 00:36:43,430 --> 00:36:39,960 Gulf Breeze has it in bits and pieces 858 00:36:45,170 --> 00:36:43,440 when he's sort of explaining what 859 00:36:47,990 --> 00:36:45,180 happened The Narrative of what happened 860 00:36:50,930 --> 00:36:48,000 in these these hypnosis sessions I think 861 00:36:53,390 --> 00:36:50,940 the formatting of interspersing the the 862 00:36:54,950 --> 00:36:53,400 printed dialogue with his descriptions I 863 00:36:57,710 --> 00:36:54,960 I think it is jarring and I think it 864 00:37:00,109 --> 00:36:57,720 breaks it up a little too much it became 865 00:37:02,030 --> 00:37:00,119 kind of a chore to read and then UFOs 866 00:37:04,370 --> 00:37:02,040 are real here's the proof 867 00:37:07,130 --> 00:37:04,380 um that book is just 868 00:37:08,569 --> 00:37:07,140 it's it's just it's just sightings and 869 00:37:10,190 --> 00:37:08,579 photographs and explanations of 870 00:37:12,710 --> 00:37:10,200 photographs and recountings of things 871 00:37:15,650 --> 00:37:12,720 that we'd read in the previous two books 872 00:37:19,790 --> 00:37:15,660 but I think Ed Walters 873 00:37:22,609 --> 00:37:19,800 probably had a future as 874 00:37:24,109 --> 00:37:22,619 sort of a pulpy action novelist I can 875 00:37:27,290 --> 00:37:24,119 sort of see that and it would have been 876 00:37:30,170 --> 00:37:27,300 really fun to read a 877 00:37:34,010 --> 00:37:30,180 in quotes fictionalized account wink 878 00:37:36,950 --> 00:37:34,020 wink of his real experiences and 879 00:37:39,410 --> 00:37:36,960 some of the sequences in that first book 880 00:37:42,890 --> 00:37:39,420 and in the abductions book really do 881 00:37:46,130 --> 00:37:42,900 seem to me to be sort of sort of test 882 00:37:48,230 --> 00:37:46,140 runs of you know writing a novel or 883 00:37:49,730 --> 00:37:48,240 maybe he'd written these stories and 884 00:37:52,490 --> 00:37:49,740 wanted to get them out in some way 885 00:37:55,010 --> 00:37:52,500 that's pure speculation on my part but 886 00:37:56,930 --> 00:37:55,020 um it's just just it's fun to read and 887 00:37:59,569 --> 00:37:56,940 if we can roll our eyes at him 888 00:38:01,849 --> 00:37:59,579 presenting himself as you know Action 889 00:38:04,250 --> 00:38:01,859 Man Ed Walters you know fighting the 890 00:38:07,849 --> 00:38:04,260 aliens and and you know 891 00:38:09,710 --> 00:38:07,859 swearing up a storm you can sort of 892 00:38:11,810 --> 00:38:09,720 you know give him credit for at least 893 00:38:13,790 --> 00:38:11,820 not 894 00:38:15,230 --> 00:38:13,800 giving us something boring and I think 895 00:38:16,430 --> 00:38:15,240 that third book The the one he wrote 896 00:38:19,130 --> 00:38:16,440 with Maccabee I think one of the reasons 897 00:38:21,170 --> 00:38:19,140 I dislike it is just because it is so 898 00:38:23,210 --> 00:38:21,180 boring you don't have you know actiony 899 00:38:24,829 --> 00:38:23,220 at Walters to the degree you have in the 900 00:38:28,010 --> 00:38:24,839 others and 901 00:38:30,430 --> 00:38:28,020 I mean I don't need to be convinced UFOs 902 00:38:34,730 --> 00:38:30,440 are real I don't need to be given proof 903 00:38:35,750 --> 00:38:34,740 I think proof undermines the whole I 904 00:38:38,450 --> 00:38:35,760 don't want to say goofiness but 905 00:38:41,030 --> 00:38:38,460 goofiness of the concept in any case I I 906 00:38:43,310 --> 00:38:41,040 think I'm done with Ed Walters but we're 907 00:38:44,930 --> 00:38:43,320 not done with Gulf Breeze Florida as 908 00:38:49,730 --> 00:38:44,940 we'll see next time 909 00:38:53,630 --> 00:38:51,950 thanks for listening remember to send in 910 00:38:56,030 -->
