Minnesota 1960

1960 - Minneapolis, Minnesota. This is one of those "hard to be sure" images.

It was taken on October 20 of 1960 and seems to show a large oval light source.

No object is actually seen, but then again... where there's smoke, there's fire.

The object seems to be moving from left to right as you can see a trail of some type to its right in the full size image.

Italy 1960

1960 - Italy, September. This photo of three dark UFOs has certainly had its naysayers.

Those who debunk it say that the extreme dark color of the objects make them appear to be pasted onto a background image and then re-photographed.

This is a possibility. UFO proponents will tell you that either magnetic gravitational or other anomalies of the advanced technology caused this dark coloration.

And so the debate continues.

Argentina 1960

1960 - Yacanto, Cordoba, Argentina. July 3. This photograph was taken by Hugo F. Niotti then a captain of the AAF.

On July 3, 1960, Niotti was driving from Yacanto toward Cordoba.

At approximately 4:30 PM, he was in the area of Villa General Belgrano about 70 Km from the city of Cordoba.

He suddenly noticed a rather close and unusual object hovering near the ground to the right of the road.

He grabbed his camera and took this one picture.

It was deemed authentic by Servicio de Informaciones de Aeronautica.

Hawaii 1959

1959 - Waikiki, Hawaii, June 18. This photograph was one studied by Project Blue Book.

Photo taken by Joseph Sigel of Bellevue, Washington.

Blue Book stupidly identified it as a sun glare on lens.

The photo was studied at the UFO symposium for the Congressiona Hearings of 1968 by Dr. Robert N. Sheppard.

Japan 1958

1958 - Japan - One of the many UFO photographs taken in Japan.

This one shows an object over Kaizuka in 1958.

Brazil 1958

1958 - January 16 - The Trinidade Island Photographs.

Trindade is a small rocky island in the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean 600 miles off the coast of Bahia, Brazil.

Professional photographer Almiro Barauna would take a sequence of pictures of this UFO off of a Naval vessel.

More than 50 witnesses saw the UFO including the ship's Captain.

Some of the best know early photos of a UFO.

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.
