Ed Walters, Cinnamon, and the Trigeminal Nerve
During a 1987 UFO encounter in Gulf Breeze, Florida, Ed Walters reported a beam that smelled of cinnamon and ammonia. Both substances are potent stimulants of the trigeminal nerve, which controls facial sensations and movements. The prevalence of trigeminal stimulants in paranormal encounters suggests that these odors may play a functional role in the experience, possibly acting as a biological trigger or shock to the witness.
