Belgium 1955

1955 - Namur, Belgium - Three photographs were taken on June 5, 1955, at about 07:30 PM, near Namur.

The witness indicated that he had visually seen a sharp gleam moving high in the sky without any noise and at high speed.

He indicated that the gleam accompanied an object of discoidal shape leaving a white trail behind it.

Italy 1954

1954 - Sicily, Italy, December 10. Four men are staring upward at two very odd shapes in the sky.

The photographer was questioned about his photograph, and he claimed that the objects were actually in the sky, as opposed to a film or camera anomaly, and that the objects simply stood still for several minutes.

Australia 1954

1954 - Australia. This very compelling photograph of a clearly defined round UFO with top and antenna was taken by sheep farmer W. C. Hall in 1954.

If you look real closely, you might see another unknown object in the distance just above a mountain.

An excellent photo, and for a newspaper clipping, it is in excellent condition.

Here is additional information provided by a reader:

August, 1954 - Australian Sheep Grower W. C. Hall saw six petrol tank-shaped UFOs land on his ranch in North Queensland, Australia.

His chickens, cattle and even the jack rabbits on his farm were affected by an oddly colored exhaust fumes of the UFOs, which he believed brought about a change in the genes of animal life on his ranch, due to Atomic Radiation, as various freaks were born afterwards.

An update on the W.C. Hall case.

This has always had me a bit perplexed because of the location i.e. North Queensland.

The thing is in Australia that is not sheep country.

After a fair bit of investigation I have found out that this photo was actually taken in Victoria and first published in a magazine owned by Time.

France 1953

1953 - Paris, France, Eiffel Tower. Double discs are seen passing over Eiffel Tower at 3:45 AM, in 1953 as M. Paulin took this picture.

The photograph is from the Michael Mann collection and was published in TRUE Magazine at the time.

A very interesting photograph, and not a bad one considering the time period, and the distance from camera to object.

Look at the original image to see the two objects over the Tower.

Italy 1953

1953 - Moumra, Italy. Italian specialist Giuseppe Stilo explained that this alleged photo case was first known when the Italian weekly L’Europeo released on February 3, 1957, an interview with diplomat Alberto Perego, who had a nonphotographic UFO sighting in the Vatican City.

In order to better describe his visual observation he provided photomontages to this end (the magazine made it clear that that’s what they were).

This started a widely-reproduced mistake.

There were previous sighting by Perego over Santa Maria Maggiore’s church (Rome) on October 30, 1954 and these were also published in the same way.

New Jersey 1952

1952 - Passaic, New Jersey. George Stock was working in his yard on July 28, 1952, when this dome-shaped saucer appeared.

Because it hovered over transmission lines before heading for him, he was able to get five photos.

Only one is included here, but all of them are similar.

A great early photo!

Massachusetts 1952

1952 - Salem, Massachusetts. July 16, 1952. During the peak of the 1952 UFO Flap, Shel Alpert, a USCG seaman on duty in the Coast Guard Weather Office at the Salem Coast Guard Station, saw four brilliant lights in the sky.

He called another Guardsman to see the lights, but in those few seconds the lights had become more dim.

When they brightened again, he quickly took a single photograph through the window of the office.

This photo has been published in many books, newspapers and magazines.

An excellent piece of evidence.
