3. McMinnville UFO photographs
These amazing photos are still very controversial, with some describing them as a “UFO-model-hanging-by-a-string” hoax and others claiming they depict a genuine alien craft. They were snapped in 1950 by farmer Evelyn Trent, who spotted a “slow-moving, metallic disk-shaped object heading in her direction from the northeast”. She shouted to her husband, who took photos which have been discussed ever since.
The pair insisted the photographs were real until they passed away, and initial examinations of the images suggested that they had not been tampered with. Subsequent research claimed to have detected evidence of a thread of string in the snap, although no-one has yet fully answered the question of whether the McKinville UFO was real or fake.
