Episode 64: The Sightings
The Gulf Breeze UFO Sightings are among the most infamous in US extraterrestrial canon; Floridian Ed Walters claimed that for six months ranging from late 1987 through the spring of 1988, he experienced a number of close encounters with aliens and their space crafts: ones that he allegedly captured on film. MUFON investigators, skeptics, scientists, and even the X-Files’ Agent Fox Mulder have weighed in on Ed’s story: now, we invite you to consider whether the Gulf Breeze Sightings were one of the most remarkable instances of alien contact in history, or simply an elaborate hoax.
