9. The Adamski images
George Adamski claimed he had been visited by Nordic aliens, and even wrote three books about his “experiences”. Later analysis showed that the “UFOs” in his films and photos were put together using lightbulbs and other bits and bobs.
Although Adamski was labelled a hoaxer, he continued to peddle strange stories throughout his life, claiming aliens lived on most planets in the solar system. Nonetheless, his images of cigar shaped motherships and strange crafts flying in formation are among the most famous in UFO history.
