Photographic Evidence
The Best UFO Photo Ever Taken?
Five decades ago, a Costa Rican government mapping team accidentally took a photo that looks absolutely strange, other-worldly, and totally convincing. Is it?
Are there better (authentic) UFO photos out there than the one you’re looking at? Undoubtedly. Unfortunately, it seems that those photos have yet to be released, declassified, or otherwise made available to the general public. Until that day occurs, this one is going to have to do. It has many fans and a few detractors, but the story is still compelling.
2021 is the 50th anniversary of this photo being taken. In those five decades, the legend of the Lake Cote photo has only grown.
In 1999, for example, a collection of French officials, pilots and officers (most retired) put it on the cover of its COMETA report (Advanced Studies Committee). This document has long been thought to be among the most open statements on the UFO subject ever made. Titled “UFOs and the Department of Defense,” the report that was sent to the French government concluded that the ETH, Extra Terrestrial Hypothesis, was the most likely explanation for what’s truly going on with these objects.
