UFO PICTURE HISTORY Back to: UFO Picture

This page is a small collection of
how UFO Picture history changed
the world. Take a stroll through
some of the older UFO pictures that
made history. The 1940s, 1950s and
1960s gave rise to a craze in UFO
picture taking (and creating). These
represent only a few of the many
that exist still today in collections.

UFO history is a funny thing, as it
seemed when one person had the
idea of aliens, the entire world
jumped on board with UFO sightings
and reports. Many fans of UFOs
sprung up, with almost as many UFO
hoaxers throwing pie pans into the
sky while their buddies snapped
pictures!

Of course the 1940's seemed to
have the US Government on-board
with UFO sightings, even to the
point that the next couple decades
would have government officials
performing extensive exploration of
most all UFO reports.

The sighting of a UFO over Los
Angeles that was fired upon by the
military while being spot-lighted was
a huge event during World War II.
Of course, many believed it was a
Japanese attack, but was it of this
earth or extra-terrestrial in nature?

It would seem that UFOs were not
content to just explore the United
States during war-time, as this
photograph from England of a UFO
raised many questions about UFO
and military - were they government
created for and during the war?

Though the war ended, the UFO
pictures did not. This one was
taken by aircraft after World War II.
In fact, military personnel would
take many of the famous UFO
pictures we have seen to this day,
including Coast Guard and Air Force
servicemen.

The 1950s and beyond seemed to
become the era of covering up UFO
reports through discrediting them.
This angered many UFO fans and
investigators, making many attempt
to get the government to "come
clean." Does the US government
have evidence of UFO ships?

The Lubbock Lights were an
unusual formation of lights seen by
many witnesses over Lubbock,
Texas, August-September 1951. The
incident received national publicity
and was the second great UFO case
in the United States after the
Roswell UFO incident.

Who would of thought that UFO
enthusiasts might get a big
kick-start by the reports of UFO
sightings over the capitol! This no
fly zone was completely breached in
1952. One could say the UFO pilots
made themselves known to the
world!

Was this UFO picture of an alien
craft or was it US government
experimental? Some claim it came
from an instructional UFO video that
leaked to the public.

Since he was a teenager, Billy Meier
claims to have been contacted by
aliens from the Pleiads and has
numerous UFO pictures and videos

New Delhi.

This UFO picture looks too much
like a pie pan thrown into the air,
but the picture became famous and
was published in a California
newspaper at the time.

classic by many UFO picture

pan or two bolted together -
unevenly at that!
