(5,Ted) Tonights special guest is Donald Ware, head of the... (5,Ted) Gulf Breeze UFO investigation for the Mutual UFO... (5,Ted) Network (MUFON). Don is a retired Air Force officer... (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) I have been coordinating some of the related activities.... (5,Don Ware) Regarding recent incidences.... (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) ! (5,Don Ware) I'd prefer not to elaborate further, because I prefer not to discuss... (5,Don Ware) other people. ga (5,Ted) Ok... (5,DON) !! (5,Ted) I will now open the floor, Dale and Mickus are already... (5,Ted) on the list (along with Don) ga (5,Wedge) Thank you.... (5,Wedge) I was just wondering how you feel about the recent reduc- (5,Wedge) tion of Bob Boyd and Willy Smith in MUFON circles...since every (5,Wedge) case needs to have both sides expressed, don't you feel that (5,Wedge) one sided censorship is taking place?ga (5,Ted) ga Don W (5,Don Ware) ok... (5,Don Ware) The change in MUFON status of Boyd and Smith has certainly not... (5,Don Ware) changed their visibility. ga (5,Ted) Ok... Mickus is next GA (5,Tom Mickus) Ok.... (5,Tom Mickus) Don, can you tell us if the names of two... (5,Tom Mickus) of the people who also have photos is going... (5,Tom Mickus) to be released...and has Maccabee analyzed these pics at all...

(5,Don Ware) were familiar with to provide photographic opportunities... (5,Don Ware) I suspect the alien craft posed for pictures because they... (5,Don Ware) wanted the public to see them.
