Note: The following letter was made available to UFONET by Dr. Willy
Smith. According to Smith, it was originally sent to Jim
Moseley in confidence. Subsequently, it was passed on to Ed
Walters by Moseley, and soon found its way into a number of
people's hands. In part, this letter was responsible for some
of the recent controversy surrounding Smith.

Dear Jim:
Here is a copy of one of the photos (the following five words are
both underlined and darker than the rest of the text - TM) allegedly
taken by Ed Walters in New York. Normally, I would have done nothing
except filing them, but Dr. Vigilio Sanchez Ocejo, who was visiting
me when the mail brought the photos, suggested that I should get in
touch with you. What I did.
I have only one question:
DID ED WALTERS TAKE THIS PHOTOGRAPH?
Then:
(a) if the answer is YES, the sequence will add
credibility to his story, as it would indicate that the UFO
events are not related to Gulf Breeze as a location, but to
Mr. Walters, following him to other places. In this case, I
would like to know the exact date the photos were taken.
(b) if the answer is NO, the anonymous photographer
has met the challenge issued by Ed-of-Gulf-Breeze in Vol.13, #5
of the International UFO Reporter (p.23), when he wrote:
"I suggest ... that the best way to cast
doubt on a UFO photo is to duplicate it."
If (b) is the right answer, Ed's photos have been replicated.
You can publish the photo if you want to, but (the following nine
words are underlined - TM) it must be returned to me for further
study, regardless of what Mr. Walters' answer might be,
