Polermo, CA, 1951. George Adamski's first saucer fakes, published in

Salem MA, July 1952. Sunlight reflecting on a window.
“It was an extremely hot day and I think that perhaps some sort of reflection of ground reflections could possibly have accounted for the lights, but in my estimation this is an improbable explanation. The lens was quite dirty and so was the window screen. I cannot in all honesty say that I saw the objects or aircraft, merely some manner of lights.” - Shell Albert, photographer
New York City, August 1952. Amateur photographer capturing the full moon discovers "objects" in the developed film. It's obviously lens flare, yet, in Project Blue Book, these photos remain "unexplained."

Mojo Magazine's list of Top Ten UFOs Caught On Tape.
Lens flare. Mr. Edtl has run for state office in Oregon (twice) and intends to run again.
