"Top 10 UFO" Lists

I. Time Magazine, 2016:

1) New Mexico, 1963. Paul Villa's hubcaps. In addition to this and several other hubcap photos, Villa claimed to have met the pilots of these "craft," and that a flying saucer burned his house down.

2) Ireland, 1950. Bolts on reflective chrome appear as saucers in the sky. The sunlight coming from the photo's upper right wouldn't cause the "bottom" of the "saucers" to be lit as they are. If they were in the sky, they would be darkened by the saucer's own shadow. I hope labeling this a prank doesn't tarnish the journalistic integrity of The TeenAge Times of Dublin.

3) McMinnville OR, 1950. A Ford truck mirror suspended on horizontal fishing wire between two out-of-frame anchors. Same technique later perfected by Paul Villa and Billy Meier.

4) Riverside CA, 1951. A 1937 Ford hubcap thrown into the air. This was admitted by the hoaxer, and his friends, in 1952. Yet this remains one of the most popular "saucer" photos.

5) Salem MA, 1952. Window reflections from bright ground objects.

6) Holloman AFB, 1957. A lenticular cloud.

7) Hillside County MI, 1966. Lens flare.

8) New Mexico, 1967. A 1949 Chevy hubcap.

9) Santa Ana CA, 1965. toy train wheel suspended on a fishing line.

10) Chalk Mountain CO, 1966. Anomaly in the film processing. Also responsible for another famous photo (Costa Rica, 1971).
