It would be extremely difficult to imitate this photography for fraudulent purposes.
Agreed. And why do we even feel inclined to speculate in those terms?
Because, if you suspect that Navy Officer Delbert Newhouse made this all up, motive would be one of the basic factors to consider.
In this case, I see no motive. There's nothing to gain on it. Rather, there's a motive to keep quiet about it, just as pilots apparently often chose
not to file UFO sightings for career reasons.
Would he even had reported this sighting had he not filmed it? I can imagine Newhouse stepping into his superior's office, saying "Guess what sir? I
saw a whole fleet of flying saucers the other day. Too bad I didn't bring my camera. By the way, how's my promotion coming along?"
This happened 57 years ago, and I'm appauled to see what baby-steps UFO research has taken since.
During these 57 years, tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of UFO sightings have taken place, some by hundreds of witnesses at once, and
some by witnesses with extremely good credentials. Presidents, scientists, astronomers, pilots, priests, militaries, you name it. The UFOs have been
caught on film, photograph and on radar, and physical traces have in some cases been left behind. You could make a never ending thread with UFO
incidents that cannot be explained rationally, and incidents such as the Belgian UFO wave in 89-91 (documented by the Belgian Air Force, with multiple
sightings of black triangles by F-16 pilots and corroborated by radar observations) and the Mexican Air Force UFO observations in 2004 (unidentified
objects flying in formation, filmed with infra-red camera and observed on radar) should serve as proof that the UFO phenomenon is real. And if no
single incident would do the trick, then the mass of observations should serve as an alarm bell that something is going on.

So here’s another case that’s beyond any logical explanation. The analysis was inconclusive, pointing to a true account of an actual UFO
sighting!
So, now that we have strong enough indicators - based on evidence - that the UFO phenomenon is really taking place, what are we going to do about it?
