ALIEN ENCOUNTER AT GULF BREEZE - Gulf Breeze, Florida. Did an extraterrestrial being come through here at one time to visit UFO witness Ed Walters at his home? (Pictured: A view of the overgrown back fence/yard at the former Silverthorn Road home of famed UFO encounter claimant Ed Walters.) On December 2, 1987 - at 3:30 a.m. - contractor Ed Walters alleges that he chased a 4-foot-tall “grey alien” off of his back porch before it was whisked away by a top-like, blue-beam-shooting UFO said to be floating above the school field behind his house. Gulf Breeze was made internationally famous in 1987 when Walters came forward with photographic evidence supporting claims of repeated UFO visitations. The town became “UFO Capitol of the World,” for a time, as a result of the Walters-inspired media frenzy and occurrence of dozens of alleged encounters by others. The UFO community, at the time, divided over Walters and his photos, with MUFON deeming the Walters case as “One of the Most Important Cases of All Time” and Hynek’s CUFOS ruling it as “a likely hoax.” The hoax contention gained traction when a model resembling Walters’ other-worldly photographic subjects was found in his former home and a local kid named Tommy Smith came forward to claim that he helped Ed Walters perpetrate the hoaxes - including using a trampoline to create the supposed “landing trace” in the school field behind Walters’ house.

ED WALTERS AND THE GULF BREEZE ENCOUNTERS - Gulf Breeze, Florida. Beginning on the night of November 11, 1987, and going well into the 90s, the town of Gulf Breeze, Florida came to be considered as the "UFO Capitol of the World" due to a wave of sightings in the area and a series of intriguing publicized photographs by a local contractor named Ed Walters. It was at Walters' home where he alleged to have had a number of encounters - with glowing, "top-like" craft and grey alien "androids" - and where many of his famous (and controversial) photos were taken. The sightings wave and media frenzy that followed the publishing of Walters' photos (Walters soon appeared on "Oprah" and also published a book: "The Gulf Breeze Sightings," 1990) kept Gulf Breeze at the center of the UFO spotlight for several years. Despite the hundreds of independent sightings that occured around Gulf Breeze at the time, Walters has largely been discredited due to claims of hoaxing and the finding of a hidden UFO "model" at his residence after the Walters family moved out. Debunkers contend that this model (or something similar) was used to hoax photos by means of glass reflection imaging and/or double exposure. Some, however, believe the model was a deliberate plant designed to cover-up the encounters and cast doubt on Walters' claims and evidence. A number of researchers, to this day, still support Walters' account (and the authenticity of his photos) and the reality of the numerous incidents that occurred around Gulf Breeze, three decades ago. Regardless of the overall truth involved in this mystery, the Gulf Breeze Sightings (and contactee Ed Walters) are a landmark point in the history of the UFO subject worthy of study and examination.

ED WALTERS' UFO ENCOUNTERS ON SILVERTHORN ROAD - Gulf Breeze, Florida. Beginning on the night of November 11, 1987, and going well into the 90s, the town of Gulf Breeze, Florida came to be considered as the "UFO Capitol of the World" due to a wave of sightings in the area and a series of intriguing publicized photographs by a local contractor named Ed Walters. It was at Walters' home (here on Silverthorn Road - on the right) where he had a number of encounters - with glowing craft and grey aliens - and where many of his famous (and controversial photos) were taken. The pole with the transformer and the streetlight seen in his famous driveway UFO pics are visible in this photo. The sightings wave and media frenzy that followed the publishing of Walters' photos put Gulf Breeze at the center of the UFO spotlight. Despite the hundreds of independent sightings that occured around Gulf Breeze at the time, Walters has largely been discredited due to claims of hoaxing and the finding of a hidden UFO "model" at his residence after the Walters family moved out.
