Werner Walter (11th August 1957 – 7th November 2016) founded the Centrale Exploratory Network of Exceptional Phenomena of the Skies (CENAP). In his youth, Walter had a sighting of a strange light phenomenon which first made him a supporter of the theory that UFOs were craft of extraterrestrial origin.
The longer Walter dealt with the subject matter and those involved in it as well as the witnesses, the more he saw his original belief in the Extra Terrestrial Hypothesis (ETH) diminish and he gained a reputation as a sceptic and a critic of the Ufological scene through his work and his publications and was considered a sceptic. When I was last in contact with him, Walter expressed boredom with the subject and Ufology and how it had developed into almost a fantasy
For many years Walter was the main source for information on Ufology and sightings in Germany –he was quite literally a one-man operation which many, it appeared, did not like— for which I am grateful. His methods, etc were criticised by von Ludwiger.
