I have been looking at UFO pics and videos for a while. That is what initially led me to find ATS. It fascinates me, but, the problem is most are just grainy vids of far off lights in the sky that could be just about anything......or some jerk that has too much time on his hands and claims his little cgi vid is real just for attention. They are far and few in between, but if you stick with it you can find some really cool ones sometimes that honestly can't be explained. Be patient.

The very best place to start is here. Good luck!

You could start with a simple Google search for "UFO vids and pics".

And you think i havn't done this on numerous occasions.....that's why i ended up here..

I would say 99% of all UFO cases are hoaxes, misidentified objects or flat out fakes. The other 1% are just unknown, natural phenomenon or unidentified military craft.

The most interesting case surrounding photos of an alleged UFO that I have seen, is the 1960's case of Rex Heflin. I watched something where the photos were analyzed by a physicist, a computer graphics guy....a photo expert and all concluded that the object in the photos was large and was taken approximately 600-700 feet away...which supports Rex Heflin's original claims. I suppose the possibility that it was a hoax exists but, it's definitely one of the more intriguing cases that involved photos of a UFO...in my opinion.

Thanks UO...i'll look that up..

In my opinion, the best evidence for the existence of UFOs will never be a photograph or video. It's simply too easy to have reasonable doubt about the origins of the object(s), such as thinking they might be mundane objects from a bad angle, or just flat-out accusing the photographer of hoaxing the whole thing. It doesn't matter if you film a close-encounter of the third kind, it'll just be written off as CGI and you'll be hounded for not having a better camera.

But since you asked, I think the best UFO video I've seen is the Nellis Air Force Base UFO.
The best picture is the one from the Battle of Los Angeles--and that's the actual event, not the movie.

OP, since there are many threads about this already, let me say this about recommending UFO-pics: You have to know your audience. Some people believe everything you throw at them, others believe nothing. I prefer recommending to other sceptics. But the field of photos narrows greatly, in that case

Since you're here, you probably think there are actually non-human craft/entities about. In that case: You really need to know the source! Usually, the 'best' pictures are from the worst sources.

In my experience, usually the 'best' cases have miserable or no pics. Either they got sent off to a secret lab, or they're shaky handheld pics of a quality where it's irrelevant whether it's a 'real' or a fake UFO

Are there any 'real' and good ones? Yes. Here's a stunner, taken by an ATS poster

Now are there any E.T. UFO pics that are 'real' and excellent?

There are just a couple imo, perhaps one of the most intriguing is the satellite pic from Costa Rica. Here's a thread www.abovetopsecret.com...:




What we need are pics from O'Hare and the Arizona giant triangle. That kind of stuff, recent stuff. What with all the smart phones etc. It's depressing how little evidence reaches the public in recent cases like that.

With 150,000,000 official sightings, even if you take UO's minimal 1%, you get:

1% of 150 000 000 = 1 million 500 thousand alien controlled craft.

I would say, don't waste your time reading what Un Ob writes.

Of course you would. Since you know, I encourage healthy skepticism and that any UFO claims be exhaustively analyzed and tested for actual evidence.

Reasonable human beings don't reach conclusions on faith or belief...they require evidence to support them.

That is also an awesome case to look into. There was a good amount of evidence, photographic proof and it was documented by the local press and military.

You mention that there are 150 million 'official sightings'.

This is a pretty hairy claim. How do you describe an 'official sighting'? And what source are you relying on?

Thanks for your help.

In trying to abide by the ATS rules, I edited my post. Not in time though.


“The other 1% are just unknown, natural phenomenon or unidentified military craft.”

That leans toward flat out denial and will get you nowhere in your search for the truth.

I and the other half dozen people I know who have seen UFO’s have never reported them.
That means 100% of the people I know of.
An “official sighting” would be one that was reported.

www.ufoevidence.org...

General / Mass Sightings

"The number of documented general sightings in the modern age numbers approximately 120,000, of which 20,000 have been described as landings. Numerous surveys and opinions polls conducted over the last 50 years consistently report that between 5%-10% of the US population has seen what they consider to be a UFO. According to the United Nations, since 1947, approximately 150 million people have been witnesses to UFO sightings throughout the world"

150 MILLION

Maybe it would be the Tremonton Utah footage from 1952 filmed by Warrant Officer Delbert Newhouse

Analysis of the film continued for months. Analysts tried everything they could think of to identify the objects but failed. The contents of the report, considered together with the apparent reliability of the witness, made a case that the Air Force could not explain. A spokesman for the group at the Wright Field photo lab said: "We don't know what they are but they aren't airplanes or balloons, and we don't think they are birds" (see Ruppelt, Edward J., The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects; 1956).

Navy experts were not as reserved in their appraisal of the film. Their report said that the objects were internally lighted spheres and were not reflecting sunlight. They also suggested a velocity for the objects of 3,780 miles per hour if they were five miles away. If they were ten miles away, they would have been traveling 7,560 miles per hour. But, if they were only 2½ miles away the speed would have been 1,890 mph, and at three quarters of a mile they would have been flying at 472 mph.

Well, there’s a bunch to choose from, that’s for sure…

My personal faves, though by no means exhaustive, and many of which I’m still sitting on the fence regarding authenticity about, but, for a few to consider (and p.s. – don’t shoot the messenger! I know many of these have been debated to death here on ATS and elsewhere – that’s ok). The OP simply asked for ones we thought were the best. The one’s I consider the best are the ones that make me think, ponder the possibility, maybe send a little chill up my spine when I first see them. Many fall in to this category (even “proven” false ones), but here’s a handful of ones I’ve found myself looking at for long periods and just… well wondering “if”…:























Then, of course, there’s a few of these too-good-to-be-true ones, which I’m forever prepared to hear the disappointing news on (and pretty much shredded by ATS and other CGI analysts…). But you asked for what we considered some of the best – these may be some of the best fakes! :









Well - have fun boys! (and, *cough*, girls too, of course). And ...keep looking up!
