I think this is a very important point that tends to be overlooked in the rest of the hubris - that Ed allowed the originals to be tested. If Ed was such a hoaxer he wouldn't have gained anything by doing that. Did Billy Meier do that? Uh, I don't think so. I tend to believe that Ed Walters had real experiences and that his photos, although extremely controversial, were not faked. I don't know if this is directly pertinent but when I was in GB in 1992 and witnessed the red light UFO along with Bob Oechsler, Steven Greer and about 100 others, Ann Morrison told me that she and her husband had lots of videotapes of the GB UFO. I don't recall if they included the Ed Walters variety. I also don't recall the names, but it seems to me that someone else also witnessed the Ed Walters type UFO, from years ago. The biggest problem I see with videotape and photographic evidence is that it will always be challenged as to it's authenticity and analysis methodology. That's why it's my opinion that UFO photographs make poor evidence. I personally would put more credence in the testimony of multiple witnesss corroboration of a sighting than a crystal clear photograph, which will always be under suspicion, even if proven with a gazillion dollars worth of high-tech photo analysis to be completely legitimate. I think it's unfair, but you will probably have to put up with this kind of demeaning crap from your mealy-mouth detractors mainly because you have been so high profile on the Walters photo analysis. Of course, Jerry Black, Hyzer, et al., can always put up or shut up. Whoops! I guess that makes *me* one of the " UFO good ole boys" club for shooting my mouth off. I'm just tired of reading the same damned re-hash over and over and over. Regards, Don http://www.fwpd.net/dona/tesla/teslacoil.htm
