Giordano Bruno also "suffered" at the stake for the statement that Humanity is not alone in the Universe. And today a huge amount of confirmation has already been collected for this statement, and the church brothers will not be able to destroy all of us …
1870 Mount Washington, New Hampshire. It is believed to be one of the “oldest UFO images”. In 2002, the photo was up for auction on Ebay and was ultimately acquired by Samuel M. Sherman, president of Independent-International Pictures Corp., for $ 385.
Initially, it was stereo photography. It's no secret that at that time, it was technically difficult to process photographs, and nothing was known about flying objects. Today, thanks to one of our readers, we have an original stereo photo.
1927 - Oregon. Photo taken at Cave Junction, Oregon. Until now, it is not known exactly in 1926 or 1927, the picture was taken, but, in any case, if the photograph is really genuine, it is simply incredible. The author of the picture is reportedly a volunteer firefighter. To appreciate the photo at its true worth - click on it and it will open in full size.
April 1929 - Ward Lumber Mill, Colorado. Here is what the daughter of the person who took the photo says about the photo: “This photo was taken by my father, Edward. It all happened at Ward's sawmill, where we lived then. I think it was 1929. I was 6 years old then. When my father was photographing the sawmill, he heard a "terrible thunderous roar" and saw a large round object, resembling a huge boulder, moving upward. You can clearly see it on the image."
Promotional video:
“None of the workers who were at the sawmill at that moment saw this object, but they all heard this terrible roar and felt the earth shaking. Growing up, I tried to track down information about this phenomenon in the County Historical Society, but did not find any mention of it. Several years after this incident, my father passed away and I never managed to find at least one surviving worker from that sawmill. Best regards, Hetty Pline.
May 1932 - St. Paris, Ohio. The photograph taken around noon shows a man named George Sutton. You can understand that it was 1932 by the car's license plate.
The unidentified flying object in the picture could not have been a street lamp, simply because there were no street lamps at the time. There weren't even power lines yet. In addition, it is clearly visible that the car is old.
The owner of the photo says there were no electric lights along this road in those days. No one can explain what kind of dark object is depicted above George Sutton's left shoulder in this picture.
1942 - Los Angeles, California. Just months after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, on February 25, 1942, at 2:25 a.m., sirens set in case of an invasion went off.
An unknown flying object has been spotted in the sky over the city. All of the indicator lights were turned off and anxious and frightened residents followed the instructions by turning off the lights.
At 03:16 am, anti-aircraft guns opened fire on unidentified flying objects coming from the ocean, and the beams of searchlights illuminated the sky. Eyewitnesses observed small objects of red and silver colors flying at high altitudes. Moving at great speed, they remained untouched by AAA volleys.
This large object was reportedly attacked multiple times by AAA shells. Air defense continued to shoot at unidentified flying objects, but to no avail.
This is one of the most famous UFO images.
October 29, 1942 - Washington, DC. The photo was taken in the air over the city. Initially, it was believed that the object on the right side of the image is part of a monoplane wing flying from the upper left corner to the lower right.
The object appeared suddenly, and outwardly looked more like a disk, behind which stretched a long dark stripe (going up), more like a jet plane.
1944 - England. This unidentified flying object was captured in the skies over England in 1944. Source: The X Factor magazine, # 53 (published by Marshall Cavendish).
There is no other information about this image.
1947 - Morristown, New Jersey. On the morning of July 10, 1947, John H. Jansen, editor of the Daily Record, an American aviation magazine, flew his own plane from Morristown Airport in New Jersey.
He noticed six spherical, glowing ships surrounded by misty rings and flying high in the sky above him.
He grabbed a camera and took a picture, capturing only 4 of 6 objects.
On July 23, 2 weeks after that incident, he again collided with an unidentified flying object that looked like an airplane. He also flew from Morristown that day in his plane and was at 6,000 feet.
July 7, 1947 - William Rhodes of Phoenix, Arizona allegedly saw a disc circling over the area where he lived during sunset and took two photos The images show a disc-shaped object with a round front and a square back.
The photographs were reviewed by experts who concluded that the images were genuine and not the result of poor quality film or camera lenses.
The object in the photo is often called the "Roswell UFO"
July 4, 1947 - Frank Ryman, a United States Marine Guardsman from Seattle, Washington, captured a photograph of a flying disc. Three days later, a similar object was captured by William Rhoads. But, the photo of Rhoads was printed upside down in the local newspaper! Presumably, this is one of the first, and possibly the very first photograph of a "flying disc".
1947 - Scotland. The alleged UFO image was taken in the Western Isles of Scotland. To fully immerse yourself in this atmosphere, you need to see the original image.
In my opinion, this is a very good shot of an object that is unlike any aircraft that exists today. Obviously, this is a two-layer metal object for which there is no explanation. A real UFO!
1947 - Czaplinek, Poland. This alleged UFO image was taken at Chaplinek in 1947. The image was taken at an angle to the top of the mountain. A close-up creates a more believable image by giving the subject dimension and scale. Early photographs, such as this one, are very important because, compared to our time, in those years, it was very difficult to process photographs.
1949 - Cincinnati, Ohio. During a carnival at St Peter and Paul's Church in Norwood, Cincinnati, Ohio, the Reverend Gregory Miller acquired a decommissioned 8 million candle army floodlights.
They were run by Donald R. Berger, a sergeant in the off-arms training of reserve officers, University of Cincinnati. At 20:15, in the midst of the celebration, Sergeant Berger directed a searchlight into the sky, where a motionless round object suddenly flashed.
Reverend Miller and everyone else joined in and watched. This was just the beginning. Davidson took ten photographs of this large, disc-shaped object that disappeared and reappeared in the beams of the searchlight.
April 23, 1950 - Red Bud, Illinois. Thanks to one of our readers, we have the following information:
This photo was allegedly taken by Mr. Dean Morgan, a part-time photographer who happened to be in that place during this strange event.
Obviously, he did not live in Red Bud, but in Greenville, where he still resides at Willow St, 1520 (added 04-08-10).
May 8, 1950 - This is one of the most famous UFO photographs. The series of photographs was taken by Paul Trent, whose wife spotted a UFO in the sky.
Shortly after the incident, the pictures were published in the local newspaper McMinnville, Oregon, and then appeared in the June 26, 1950 issue of Life magazine. More than 50 years ago, these photographs were recognized as genuine. It is believed to be one of the best early UFO photographs.
November 23, 1951 - California. Guy B. Markand, Jr., captured this image on a mountain road near Riverside County, California. According to him, the object hovering above the horizon was a "flying saucer".
One of our readers provided us with the following information: On December 27, 1943, Guy Markand was enlisted in the US Army in Los Angeles, California # 3921741. He was single and hailed from Riverside County.
Now 84, he lives with his wife in California at 4010 Royal Dr. Carlsbad. Apparently, some of his family members still live in Riverside County.
1951 - Lubbock, Texas. The famous photographs of the Lubbock Lights were taken on August 31, 1951, in Texas. Years later, ignoring all the evidence and evidence, skeptics claim that these objects were … birds.
This ridiculous explanation was typical of UFO imagery at the time. This image was captured by an 18-year-old student, Karl Hart Jr., using a Kodak camera.
At least 100 witnesses besides him observed these objects. This is one of the classic objects of Ufology.
May 7, 1952 - Barra da Tijuca, Brazil. While filming for O'Cruzeiro magazine, journalists Ed Kessel and Joao Martins saw an unusual flying object approaching them.
As the object flew directly over them, Kessel took five black and white photographs. Later, the Brazilian Air Force found 40 more witnesses who also saw the object.
1952 - Washington, DC. In the early days of UFOlogy in the United States, in 1952, unidentified flying objects appeared over the White House, the Capitol and the Pentagon.
The unknown targets seemed to defy government agencies sworn to protect the United States from foreign powers.
Washington National Airport and Andrews Air Force Base detected several UFOs on their radars on July 19, 1952, marking the beginning of observations of unexplained phenomena to this day.
July 18, 1952 - Lac Chauvet, France. A collection of images that were provided and examined by the French GEPAN and then SEPRA, funded by the State Investigative Committee. Pictures are considered authentic.
Photo by André Fregnal. The image was verified by Claude Poer, director of GEPAN, and he found the photo to be genuine.
July 16, 1952 - Salem, Massachusetts. This year, Coast Guard sailor Shell Alpert saw four brilliant lights in the sky.
He called his colleague to show these bright objects, but in those few seconds, the light became dimmer. When they shone again, he hastily snapped a photo from his office window.
This photo has been published in many books, newspapers and magazines. Excellent confirmation of the existence of a UFO.
1952 - Passaic, New Jersey. On July 28, 1952, George Stoke was working in his yard when this domed saucer appeared. Before heading towards him, the UFO hovered over the power line, and George managed to take 5 photos. Only one photo is shown here, but they are all similar. A really good early photo.
1953 - Momra, Italy. Italian Giuseppe Stilo explained that for the first time this photo became known after the publication, on February 3, 1957, in the Italian weekly "L”Europeo" an interview with the diplomat Alberto Perego, who observed a UFO in the Vatican.
To better describe what he saw, Perego did a photomontage (the magazine confirmed this). This marked the beginning of this kind of photography. On October 30, 1954, his photographs of a UFO over the Church of Santa Maria in Rome were published in the same way.
1953 Eiffel Tower, Paris, France. The twin discs were seen flying over the Eiffel Tower at 3:45 am. This picture was taken by M. Paulin.
The photograph was in the collection of Michael Mann and was subsequently published in TRUE magazine.
A very interesting picture, and, moreover, quite high quality, considering the year of shooting and the distance from the camera to the object. Take a look at the original image to see 2 objects above the Tower.
1954 - Australia. This interesting photo of a circular UFO with an antenna was taken by Sheep Breeder Hall in 1954. If you take a closer look at the picture, you will see another unknown object that is above the mountain.
Great photo and great quality considering it's a newspaper clipping.
Here's some additional information about the snapshot:
In August 1954, Australian sheep breeder Hall saw six UFOs shaped like gas tanks. It all happened on his ranch in northern Queensland, Australia.
Chickens, cattle and even rabbits on his farm were affected by strangely colored exhaust fumes from UFOs, which he believes altered the genes of the animals on his farm. Due to radiation, many freaks were subsequently born.
New information on this image:
This story has always confused me a little. It all took place in northern Queensland, although sheep farming is not so common in Australia. After a little investigation, I discovered that, in fact, this photo was taken in Victoria and first published in a magazine owned by the newspaper Time.
December 10, 1954 - Sicily, Italy. Four men observed 2 very strange objects in the sky. When the author of the photo spoke about this image, he argued that it was not a film defect, and that within a few minutes, two objects were actually hanging in the air.
1955 - Namur, Belgium (1). On June 5, 1955, at about 7:30 pm, 3 photos were taken near Namur. The witness stated that he saw with his own eyes a bright beam moving silently in the sky at high speed.
He noted that the beam was accompanying a disc-shaped object, leaving a white trail.
1955 - Namur, Belgium (2). The witness indicated that the object sank lower, turned around, and then began to climb up the trail it left. Zoom in to compare the size of the clouds and this object. Great photo.
1955 - Namur, Belgium (3). The witness goes on to say that when the object climbed higher, the trail dissipated. The UFO accelerated and headed left; at the same moment glowing particles began to be emitted. Take a look at the full image to see the photo and this long path behind the subject.
July 17, 1956 - Rosetta / Natal, South Africa. These two photographs from South Africa were taken by alleged contactee Elizabeth Clarer. She claimed that the tall, gray-haired alien who controlled the UFO impregnated her during one of their many encounters.
Almost unbelievably, Cynthia Hind, a spokesperson for MUFON, and Africa's most respected ufologist at the time, found several witnesses to support Elizabeth's words. Klarer was also … see below.
July 17, 1956 - Rosetta / Natal, South Africa … a respected member of South African society. Her husband was a Major in the South African Air Force and she herself worked in Air Force Intelligence.
A total of 7 photos were taken, 2 of which are here. There were also photographs taken by witnesses.
The photographs were dubbed Drakensberg because they were taken in the foothills of the Dackensberg mountains. If they are really real, then this is impressive. She never changed her testimony. Klarer died in 1994 at the age of 83.
1956 - Canada. While flying at an altitude of about 11 km, a Canadian Air Force pilot saw and photographed a very bright, disc-shaped object that hung motionless near a thundercloud.
Analysis of the photograph shows that the reason for this could be excess radiation.
On August 27, 1956, at approximately 7:20 p.m. (about 20 minutes before sunset), a RAF pilot was heading west and overflying the Canadian mountains near Fort McCleod, Albert (49.5 degrees latitude, 113.5 degrees longitude).
He flew at an altitude of about 11,000 meters and was on the far left in a group of four F-86 Saber jets.
While approaching a large thundercloud with a relative speed of about 740 km / h, he saw "a bright light that had the shape of a circular disk."
Summer, 1956 - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This round disc with clear outlines was captured by A. Stizak. The photo was taken on a clear day.
If you look closely, you will see three white dots below. The photograph has been verified by Colman WonKevinsky, Colonel of ICUFON.
December, 1957 - S. S. Ramsey. The picture was taken by the radio operator aboard the ship, S. S. Ramsey. A UFO hovering in the sky was visible from the deck.
The radio operator grabbed his camera and photographed the object before it disappeared. In my opinion, the photograph was first published in the Flying Saucers weekly. I wrote to them twice in 1996 but never got an answer.
New information received in April 2008:
“This is what I saw on the back of the photo after Paul Carney gave it to me:“The photo was taken by a naval officer on board an American warship - S. Ramsey - in Southern California in 1957 ". "The object was orbiting the ship as seen in some of the images (which Paul also took and which I saw on the KGO channel."
"Paul didn't explain anything to me, but I'm sure some of his photographs were examined."
“Although the photo I have is an enlarged copy of the original, I doubt it was ever subjected to computer analysis because the photo was taken in the 1950s, about 45 years ago (as of 2002). I also strongly doubt that the photo was generated by a computer, since such technology, as far as I know, did not exist at the time.
Additional information received on December 27, 2010:
Paul Carney was the chairman of the NICAP committee in San Francisco. I knew him and when I was working on KGO in San Francisco, I invited him to The Golden Gate Story, which I produced on August 23, 1964.
Paul was an experienced investigator. Looking at a series of these photographs, it becomes clear that during the time while he was photographing, the chassis of the object was rotated.
This information is taken from my historical records and is accurate. Regards, Woods Mattingay
Additional information received on January 9, 2011:
I was sorting through your excellent collection of UFO photographs and came across one, it seems to me, a well-made fake, and there is evidence of this.
This photo has been tagged by S. S. Ramsey 1957. I remember seeing this photo, published in the weekly Flying Saucers, probably sometime in the late sixties when I was a boy.
However, the article stated that the person who allegedly took the photo was T. Vogel and he admitted that the photo was a fake.
Here is a link to an article in which Kevin Radlom, a UFO imagery researcher, writes that in June 2007 Vogel confessed to deception.
In the large photo attached to the article, you can clearly see the twig in the upper right corner, which was subsequently cut from the photo. I am surprised that during your research, you did not reveal this deception.
1957 - Lake Isabella, California. The image is believed to be genuine by Kodak Labs. The author of the photo is a young man who was driving with his fiancée through the southern part of the Sierra Nevada, now called Isabella, in a Harley-Davidson.
The young people found an old dirt road that led to the bottom of a dry lake and turned off the main road to take pictures of nature. Then, none of them noticed anything unusual.
October 16, 1957 - Holloman Air Force Base, New Mexico. Photo taken by Ella Louise Fortune, a nurse. It all happened north of Tularosa. Based on the photos on the website, you can see that not all UFOs are the same.
Fortune snapped the picture while driving on Highway 54 around 1:30 AM. She stated that the UFO was stationary over the airbase.
August 20, 1957 - Fujisawa, Japan. Photo taken by Shinichi Takeda at 11:28 am, near Enoshima Beach. It is reported that the object was initially spotted by his sister, who told him so.
The UFO was silver in color, moving from north to south at an altitude of approximately 3000-4000 feet.
The object turned 90 degrees to the left, accelerated, and disappeared into the clouds. A few minutes later, 15 people on the beach reported a similar object flying at high speed. The snapshot has not survived. The picture shows a capsule-shaped object in the middle of cumulus clouds.
1957 - Edwards Air Force Base, California. The picture was taken by a test pilot in September 1957. A UFO is pursuing a B-57 2-engine jet. Great photo for this time period.
September 1957 - Fort Belvoir, Virginia. This photo was reviewed in the Condon report. The private heard that his friends were calling him to look at an unusual object.
He grabbed his camera and took six pictures of the strange ring-shaped object. Soon, the object turned into white smoke.
July 1957 - Norway. The photograph was sent for examination to the representatives of the Blue Book project. Wright Patterson has determined that what we see is nothing more than the reflection of light on a camera lens. There is no doubt that this is a fake. To make sure, open the photo in full size.
March 1957 - Rouen, France. During the flight, an unknown French Air Force pilot recorded a mysterious object over Rouen on radar and photographed it with his gun sight.
For several minutes, the UFO chased the French plane until it reached its maximum speed.
This UFO is similar to the one that appeared in McMinnville, Oregon, at Paul Trent's farm. The photograph was first published in July 1957 in the RAF aviation weekly, and also in the Flying Saucers weekly in July 1957.
1957-1958 - Edwards Air Force Base. According to some reports, this photo is taken from the film about the UFO landing at Edwards Air Force Base. According to some information, there was a data leak, and the classified film became known.
The film tells the story of several people, including the astronaut Gordon Cooper, who claims to have seen everything that happened at the airbase. He says that the film did exist, but we cannot say with certainty that this frame is from this film.
January 16, 1958 - Photo of Trinidad and Tobago Island. Trinidad is a small rocky island in the center of the South Atlantic Ocean, 965 kilometers off the coast of Bahia, Brazil.
Professional photographer Almiro Barauna captured a series of images of this UFO from a military vessel. More than 50 witnesses saw UFOs, including the ship's captain. These are some of the best early UFO imagery ever.
1958 - Japan. One of the many photographs of UFOs taken in Japan. It captures an object over Kaizuka in 1958. No other information is available at this time.
June 18, 1959 - Waikiki, Hawaii. This image was the subject of research for the Blue Book Project. Photo by Joseph Siegel of Belleivue, Washington.
The project representatives concluded that the subject in the photo is a sun flare on the lens. In 1968, Robert N. Sheppard, submitted a photograph for discussion at the Parliamentary Hearings.
