The following is an open letter from Edward Walters, one
|
|
of the primary witnesses in the Gulf Breeze UFO flap. He
|
|
addresses the isssue as to who has examined his original
|
|
photographs. He also indicates what he plans to eventually do
|
|
with the originals.

July 27, 1989
|
|
|
|
|
|
A few Gulf Breeze critics, and one in particular, have distorted
|
|
the record as to the professional access and study of the
|
|
original photos of the Gulf Breeze UFO. Here is a partial list of
|
|
the experts who have studied the ORIGINALS.
|
|
|
|
JIM TURNER, Photographer and film processing specialist
|
|
CURT SHIELDS, Photographer and special effects specialist
|
|
MARIE PRICE, Photographer, touch up expert
|
|
AL AUDLEMAN, Photographer, re-photographing expert
|
|
CHRISTOPHER STARK, Photographer, special effects specialist
|
|
MARK CURTIS & replica specialist, ABC News
|
|
DR. ROBERT NATHAN, Scientist, optics, etc.
|
|
DR. ARNOLD PALMER, Astronomer
|
|
DR. BRUCE MACCABEE, Physicist, Optics, etc.
|
|
ROBERT OECHSLER, Analyst of polaroid film and chemistry
|
|
DR. MARK CARLATTO, Computer analyst
|
|
VINCENT DIPEITRO, Photographic analyst
|
|
JOE GRECO, Photographic analysis scanning equipment
|
|
RICHARD VANDENBERG, Photographic expert
|
|
EDWARD WEIBE, Electronic engineer, computer analysis
|
|
JOHN GARDNER, Acoustical physicist, video tape analysis
|
|
DR. EBERT, computer analysis
|
|
NBC photographers, and many, many photographers w/Cosgrove
|
|
Productions
|
|
|
|
This list goes on and on with others and their associates that I
|
|
do not have the names of. Certainly this shows that the originals
|
|
have not been withheld from skeptical study. The unanimous
|
|
conclusion from the above: THERE IS NO EVIDENCE TO PROVE
|
|
A HOAX.
|
|
|
|
I have and will continue to withhold the originals from people
|
|
like P. Klass and Willy Smith. Both proclaimed "hoax", before
|
|
seeing the photos and listening to a single one of the dozens of
|
|
other witnesses. Given their history of debunking and Smith's
|
|
fake evidence hoax (discovered recently), it would be irrational
|
|
to trust the originals in their hands. If the originals 'disappear'
|
|
they could then argue "hoax" with their altered copies and we
|
|
would not have the originals to prove that their copies had been
|
|
tampered with.
|
|
|
|
WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS FOR THE ORIGINALS
|
|
|
|
The protection of the originals is crucial in the support of the
|
|
witness testimony. But....the testimony also supports the photos.
|
|
One without the other means nothing. As Dr. Maccabee says, "A
|
|
UFO photo does not a UFO make" .....therefore, the attempts to
|
|
discredit my testimony by the debunkers has been severe.
|
|
Distortions and misquotes have been fabricated with abandon.
|
|
Locations and details have been intentionally changed leaving
|
|
the unsuspecting listener or reader to believe that I am a
|
|
hoaxer, prankster, ritual seance master, con man, and all the
|
|
other witnesses are deluded.
|
|
|
|
The documentation of the precise witness testimony is as
|
|
necessary as the protection of the originals. They go hand
|
|
in hand. During the past year it became obvious that a book
|
|
was the only way to completely document my testimony.
|
|
The media stories were not detailed and misquotes only
|
|
allowed the critic to yell "hoax".
|
|
|
|
When the testimony from the book is available to the public
|
|
and all interested scientists, I will contract with a computer lab
|
|
and have ALL the photos put on computer imaging tapes. The
|
|
computer lab will not be asked to issue an analysis -- only
|
|
supply clear, exact copies of the originals in the computer
|
|
format. Requests from serious researchers to study the tapes
|
|
will be encouraged. The originals will be safe, the documented
|
|
testimony will be available and the tapes will further the
|
|
technical study of the UFO.
