(5,Ted) (fighter pilot) who resides in Ft. Walton Beach, FL... (5,Ted) and is also a state director for MUFON. He was... (5,Ted) spotlighted on NBC's "Unsolved Mysteries" last month... (5,Ted) Before we open the floor to questions I'll get things... (5,Ted) going with a couple of basic questions. Ready Don? GA (5,Don Ware) yes (5,Ted) Ok... (5,Ted) I understand there has been quite a bit of new activity... (5,Ted) in Gulf Breeze the last few months. Could you tell us... (5,Ted) a little about what has been happening? -- Especially... (5,Ted) involving the incident last week where an airforce... (5,Ted) pilot and his wife had a major encounter on the beach. I... (5,Ted) heard a rumor that a significant stretch of beach was... (5,Ted) closed. Anything to that? GA (5,Don Ware) ok..... (5,Don Ware) First let me clarify for the record... (5,Don Ware) that Charles Flannigan is the chief investigator on the GB case..

(5,Don Ware) a week ago Monday, about 10:15 pm, 3 teenagers on Pensacola beach (5,Don Ware) were told by US Airforce security police that they must clear the (5,Don Ware) beach. Thirty minutes later, James Larken with another person... (5,Don Ware) reported a UFO 12-13 ft in diameter, 25 ft above the tree tops... (5,Don Ware) two miles east of GB. This is just north of the Sound from where (5,Don Ware) the teenagers were, and I understand that the teenagers told... (5,Don Ware) Mark Curtis of TV3 that an incident was in progress. ga (5,Ted) Ok... (5,Ted) Thanks for setting us straight on the "head" investigator... (5,Ted) What's your opinion of the attacks being leveled by... (5,Ted) individuals like Willy Smith? In a report at a national... (5,Ted) UFO conference in Cleveland recently, Smith reported... (5,Ted) that he believed the whole GB thing to be a hoax. GA (5,Don Ware) ok... (5,Don Ware) First let me clarify that the teenagers were told by the POLICE that... (5,Don Ware) an incident was in progress.... (5,Don Ware) I think Willy Smith has a personal problem... (5,Don Ware) We have not communicated with him since late March... (5,Don Ware) when his responses to our communications became unreasonable. ga (5,Wedge) ! (5,Ted) Can you elaborate? ga (5,Tom Mickus) !
