Pictures Can Paint a Thousand Doubts

"The truth is out there", is a famous quote from the series “The X Files.” "Seeing is believing" is a cliché most have heard. Apparently, these two statements both apply when it comes to UFO's or Unidentified Flying Objects. UFO's have been spotted throughout the world – United States, the United Kingdom, Poland, and even in India.

Stories of alien abductions and paranormal activities are considered hoaxes by most people. However, these pictures raise the possibility that there is life on other planets and not just here on Earth.

The oldest UFO photograph ever taken was purchased by Samuel M. Sherman, president of Independent-International Pictures Corp, for $385,000 at an Ebay bidding in 2002. The picture shows a rectangular object flying up in the sky. This was of course a mystery because aviation wasn't popular at the time.

Two incidences in Morristown, New Jersey in 1947 contributed to the possibility that aliens travel in groups. John H. Janssen, an editor of the aviation journal Daily Record, was flying his plane on the morning of July 10, 1947 and witnessed six shining round crafts with hazy rings around them high up in the sky. Two weeks later, on July 23rd in Morristown, Janssen had his second encounter with the spacecrafts.

In the  1950's, other countries started submitting their own UFO sightings. Brazil, Australia, Canada, France and Spain had encounters with the paranormal that had also been captured on camera.

The 1970's brought us closer to the moon and the other planets. Snapshots from the  moon expeditions of Apollo 15 and 16 in 1971 and 1972 respectively had glimpses of UFO sightings on the edges of the pictures.

Another paranormal UFO encounter that had been documented on camera was in 1976 in Canary Island, Spain. Not only had it been photographed, a number of people can verify the sighting because residents in the areas of Tenerife, La Palma and La Gomera had all started seeing unconventional yellow and blue lights.

With the aid of technology, cameras improve each year. People’s curiosity and interest on the paranormal are satisfied by the sightings. Not to mention the TV shows and the movies promoting the possibility of these mysteries. Throughout the 80's, 90's and the 21st century, pictures are piled up online and can be seen with just a click. The snapshots are clearer and elaborate in detail.

However, these pictures must be verified by paranormal experts, researchers and scientists before they can be deemed factual. With UFO pictures that had been labeled as authentic and people actually seeing them, we’re not far from believing that there are alien beings out there and that we aren't alone.
