What happened

Walters gave the Gulf Breeze Sentinel photos of a saucer-shaped object over his yard, and many other local sightings followed. In 1990 the new owners of his former house found a styrofoam model UFO in the attic. Investigator Myers used it to duplicate the photos almost exactly. Walters said the model was planted. Gulf Breeze Mayor Ed Gray also analyzed the photos and concluded they were fake.

Witnesses

Ed Walters, local contractor

Explanation

Hoax

Basis: physical evidence and a witness. A styrofoam model found in Walters' former attic reproduced the photos, and a family friend said he saw the photos being faked. Walters denied it and said the model was planted.
