  • SMITH'S LETTER TO JIM MOSELEY, 2/89 FILE: UFO1687

    From Ricky Sutphin@RICKSBBS/TIME to All on Tue Jan 13 03:50:58 2026




    ---------------------------------------------------------------------

    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,


    Regards,




    c.c. Dr.
    Sanchez Ocejo

    Encl: one photo, identified on back.
