UFO photographs:

THE GULF BREEZE SIGHTINGS:

A series of UFO sightings in Gulf Breeze, Florida that have taken place since 1987, but the most concentrated period of sightings was between November 1987 and May 1988 and were centered around Ed and Frances Walters. During this period, Ed claims that aliens have attempted to abduct both him and his wife using a blue ray, but failed. He also claims that he knew when another encounter with a UFO was imminent because he would feel a humming noise in his head. When he got this humming noise, he would rush out with his camera and would take a picture of the UFO, which would be waiting for him in the sky. The Walters took a total of forty photos with various cameras over that period and all of them were evaluated by various scientists and were proved that they were not faked. The most impressive photos included a blue ray that was used to transport people to and from the UFOs, a UFO photographed that was partially obscured by a tree (very hard to fake) and also the same UFO hovering above a highway with a reflection on the road of the bright light on the underside of the UFO.

The controversy on the authenticity however still rages: whereas Dr. Bruce Maccabee, a respected expert on the matter, concludes they are authentic, it was reported that a new of the former home of the Walters has found a "model" of UFO made out of paperboard in the attic. Some see in this the proof that the photographs are hoaxed, others say that it is not a model of UFO but a model of a monument by an architect, finally, many think that the object has been put there purposely to discredit Ed Walters. A young man was also introduced by his father; he claimed he helped Ed Walters in faking the photographs, however he quite failed to convince when he was not aware of the particulars of the photographs he first claimed he helped to fake.

What you will not always be told on Ed Walters and his sightings:

What Ed Walters tells is not told only by Ed Walters, nor told only by Ed Walter and his wife. There are actually hundreds of people in Gulf Breeze which reported the presence of UFOs and confirm that to which Ed Walters testifies. These events do have multiple and independent witnesses.
The witnesses are healthy, balanced, credible and respected people. Ed Walters directs a succesfull contracting business. The Walters have children, they are respected and appreciated in their vicinity, they are active citizens who take part in the social life, school live, city life. The investigators noted that despite the attempts of certain skeptics to discredit Ed and his wife, these attempts are rejected as unfair nonsense by the vicinity, the friends of the couple, and investigators such as Bruce Maccabee, Walter Andrus, George Filer. The investigators also noted that Ed is a clever observer and a totally balanced person.
Ed Walters did not take just a couple of pictures. He took a very large number of pictures, and they can be seen in the two books "The Gulf Breeze Sightings" and "UFOs Are Real, Here is The Proof," where a impressive number of these photographs are reproduced. Some of these shots were taken with cameras especially designed by Dr. Bruce Maccabee, former scientist by the US Navy, now ufologist. The cameras were designed to prevent manipulation of the photographs via a sealed box; another was a stereo camera. Dr. Maccabee is not the only expert having concluded that there is no evidence of fraud; Jeff Saino also examined the stereotypes and emitted the same conclusion. Moreover, Ed Walters is not the only person of this area who took such photographs.
Ed Walters did not only take stereotypes of what is obviously "unidentified" and of high strangeness such as those above; an occupant of these UFOs was also photographed. The strange buzzing sounds at the time of the presence of these machines were noted by Ed. He reported back other events of high strangeness related to the presence of these UFOs and their occupants, such as for example missing time episodes.

When you read here or there that "the Gulf Breeze photographs are faked," or this sort of things, do not believe it on word. If one refers to the material presented by Ed Walters, one must note after of having really taken knowledge of the case and having challenged it, that these data suggest that Gulf Breeze was really visited by interplanetary visitors, not only once, but many times. At any given time, new arguments may be found to cast doubt on this; however so far debunking arguments have either poorly done or based on highly suspicious material.
