Edwards Air Force Base 1957

1957-1958 - Edwards AFB. This photo is said to come from an "instructive-film" of a UFO landing at Edwards AFB.

The film is said to have been "leaked."

This film has been referred to by more than one person, including the late astronaut Gordon Cooper, who claims to have seen the entire event.

He says that the film did exist but we cannot be certain that this is from that film.

France 1957

Rouen, France, 1957. Flying to intercept a mysterious radar reflection an unknown French Air Force pilot photographed this craft in March 1957 over Rouen with his gun-sight camera.

The UFO paced the plane for several minutes before speeding off past the maximum velocity of the French airplane.

This UFO appears to be of the same type that appeared in McMinnville, Oregon, over the farm of Mr. Paul Trent.

It was first published in the Royal Air Force Flying Review in July, 1957, and also in Flying Saucer Review in July, 1957.

Norway 1957

1957 - Norway - Taken in July of 1957 this photo was sent to Project Blue Book for analysis.

Wright Patterson determined that what we are seeing is a reflection of light on the camera lens.

That is easy enough to say, I suppose, but I am not sure that is the case here.
