The story of the best official photo of a UFO, hidden for 30 years

With the revelation in August of a photo of a UFO hidden for 30 years by the British government, the debates open: does extraterrestrial life exist? Why was the picture hidden, what is its history?

Theories about the existence of extraterrestrial life were almost always supported by images or videos which, although blurry, usually convince people of their veracity.

A UFO (unidentified flying object) captured in 1990 in the UK, the photo of which was recently revealed, has become one of the latest evidence of the existence of extraterrestrial and intelligent life. The Calvine case, as this incident is known, causes a stir again 30 years later.

Calvine This is the name given by the British Ministry of Defense to this particular “exhibit”, when on 4 August 1990 two young men photographed a strange flying object 30 meters long in Calvine.

Quickly and frightened by the sight they were witnessing, both boys hid and managed to take six photographs of their sighting, the negatives of which were later sent to the local newspaper, the Daily Record.

Soon after, a newspaper employee contacted the Ministry of Defense to discuss the case, e the British government decided to cover up the case as according to them it “posed no threat”.

Now, 30 years later, researcher David Clark has managed to recover the negatives from Craig Linday (retired Royal Air Force Press Officer) and develop them.

The story of the UFO

Perhaps the most fascinating case of a British “UFO” in the past 35 years occurred over a remote Scottish hillside one night in August 1990. It has puzzled investigators for years, and not just because of the mysterious nature of the aircraft it was carrying. observed.

The failure of the Scottish press to report the story at the time puzzled many, and information has surfaced in recent years suggesting that ‘black projects’ on the ground were to blame. When you add the Ministry of Defense’s (MOD) decision to withhold some details of the case until 2076 and the involvement of a former MOD civilian officer into the mix, the case becomes even more fascinating and intriguing. 32 years after the month it happened, have we made any progress in understanding what happened that summer night in 1990?

At approximately 9.00pm on Saturday 4 August 1990, two men standing on a hill near Calvine, a small village located just off the main A9 road approximately 35 miles NW of Perth, Scotland, managed to take six color photographs of a large diamond-shaped ship at sunset on a summer day.

They watched it approach their position for about ten minutes, then climb vertically at a relatively high speed.

the roswell case

In 1947, metal debris of unknown origin shook Roswell, a city in New Mexico. For some they were alien; for others, conspiracy theories.

That incident dates back to the morning of July 8 of that year. The United States woke up to surreal news that grabbed some headlines in its newspapers. “Military Impounds Flying Saucer on Ranch Near Roswell,” the front page of the Roswell Daily Record read that morning. From that day on, this lonely and somewhat boring town ceased to be the dairy capital of the Southwest and became known as one of the most mysterious places in the country.

The alleged interplanetary encounter had occurred just days before the media scandal. On July 2, “Farmer William Brazel was walking through grassy pastures towards his flock of sheep. A summer storm had swept across the desert the night before. Suddenly, an unknown vision caught his attention: There was some metal rubble on the ground.” describes the article Roswell’s Mysteries Are Life’s Mysteries published in the New York Times in 2017, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the case.

Brazel reported the incident to the police. Authorities inspected the find. Days later, the US military claimed that the Roswell UFO was actually a weather balloon.
