I want my name on a front-page story with a 72-point headline saying THEY’RE HERE. Make no mistake: I want to be the reporter who goes out on a limb and breaks the space aliens story. People don’t need someone with a fanatical desire to be correct to come along and pry their fingers loose. They are our handrails on a shaky planet. We all rely on our beliefs to get through the day. It gets old, always telling people to stop reading the horoscope. Over the years I have found less joy in telling the believers that what they believe is not true. Thus it was a major disappointment for readers who bought a copy after finding it in the “Occult” section at Barnes & Noble. When I wrote my aliens book I made a disastrous marketing mistake by not including any aliens in the story, focusing instead on people who believe in aliens. Science journalists regularly disappoint people by refusing to confirm really cool things like UFOs, past-life recall, astral projection, telekinesis, clairvoyance and so on. A better story would be that, after all these decades as a skeptic, I’ve converted, because the recent rash of UFO sightings has persuaded me that these are, in actual fact, spaceships from somewhere else in the universe, or perhaps from the future, and could even be future humans, such as grad students getting their PhDs in paleoanthropology. This skeptical take, however, is the boring take. I would put the likelihood at 0.0000 and then add some more zeros, before eventually, begrudgingly - because I’m so intellectually flexible - putting in a little 1 out there somewhere to the right, a lonely sentinel, because who knows? (Yes, I’m saying there’s a chance.) My strong suspicion is that the number of UFO sightings that involve actual alien beings, from deep space, with the tentacles and the antennae and so on, is zero. Only time will tell what the truth really is.But I’m wary of returning to that strange universe, because anything I write is guaranteed to be unsatisfying for everyone involved.

Although skeptics continue to cast doubt on the validity of the evidence, many researchers believe that there is something truly mysterious and otherworldly happening in the area.

The Gulf Breeze region of Florida remains a hot spot for sightings of unidentified flying and submerged objects. Although there are no definitive answers, many researchers believe that they could be attracted to something in the water or out in the ocean. So, what do these mysterious alien spacecraft want? That is the million-dollar question. He even passed two lie detector tests and eight hours of psychological tests that proved his sanity. However, he never let the critics get the best of him and remained steadfast in his belief that what he saw was real. The acorn shape is also similar to what was seen in Kecksburg, Pennsylvania, in 1965.ĭespite the overwhelming evidence and numerous sightings in the area, Walters was called a hoaxer by some skeptics. Both objects have a basic acorn shape, are surrounded by lights, and emit a bright light from the bottom.

Interestingly, the acorn shape of the spacecraft that Walters photographed is similar to the craft that was hand-drawn by a witness in Cuba. Mysterious UFO spotted over Tamaulipas highway, Mexico The Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean area are both hot spots for USO activity, and there have been countless reports of sightings over the years. So, what exactly is a USO? As explained by Bill Birnes, USOs are “unidentified submerged objects” that are essentially the underwater equivalent of UFOs. In fact, there were a dozen other witnesses who reported seeing the same object, and several hundred more who saw something that could have been related. He took several photographs of a glowing object that appeared to be an acorn-shaped spacecraft, surrounded by lights and emitting a bright light from the bottom.Īlthough some skeptics have claimed that the photographs were hoaxed using double exposure techniques, many researchers believe that Walters’ story was genuine. In 1980, Ed Walters captured some of the most compelling evidence of UFO sightings in Gulf Breeze, Florida. The state of Florida has long been considered a hotbed for sightings of UFOs and unidentified submerged objects (USOs), and the Gulf Breeze region is no exception.
