The story began with the fact that on the evening of November 11, 1987, Ed Walters saw an unusual light in the sky through the window of his home in Gulf Breeze (Florida, USA). In order to photograph the light source, Walters hurried to his office, took a Polaroid camera and ran outside. He took four pictures, and then, according to him, was paralyzed by a beam of blue light.
One of the many similar UFO photos taken by Ed
On November 17, Ed Walters published his photos in the newspaper.
Over the next few weeks, Ed Walters photographed many similar UFOs.
When all these pictures became public, they were taken over by the owners. They assumed that the images were obtained by double exposure, since this effect was easily reproduced on the Polaroid camera model used by the author of the images. For the final proof, all that remained was to find the UFO model that he used for filming.
Walters sold his house and moved to another location. A new resident of the house, while making repairs, found a UFO model in the attic of the house.
The model that was found in Ed's attic
This model was wrapped in blueprints with notes in Walters' handwriting.
Walters himself denied any involvement in this model and blamed it on the machinations of enemies or journalists hungry for sensationalism.
With the help of the same camera, the researchers reproduced several images of Ed by placing a light source in the model.
Craig Myers' attempt to take a similar photo
After some time, the story continued.Teenager Tom Smith told his family that he saw a UFO and took a series of photos. But a day later, he admitted that these photos were part of a deception started by Walters.
Thomas Smith Jr. (aka Tommy Smith) was the son of a local lawyer and friend of Ed Walters. Tommy told many interesting stories about what Ed Walters told him and how he faked his UFO photos. Smith said that he saw UFO models in Walters' house and even helped him with the shooting, holding the model on a branch. He also had copies of several such photographs. According to other sources, in addition to teenagers, Ed's wife, son and daughter also participated in this fraud. In addition, another teenager, Nick Mock, mentioned in an interview that his Ed also sometimes asked for help with tricks.
After the tests using an abandoned model of the UFO was able to achieve almost identical photographs.
