We've all seen/heard about 'genuine' ufo photos. Are there any supposedly genuine photos of aliens around?

If there is any then I haven`t seen them.

Genuine alien pictures? How can we tell what's genuine?:confused:

My touchstone is Charlie Fort's line that "All liars are conventionalists"

So most fakers just don't have the imagination to hack it.

But there's a market out there: look at the tribe who happily
forked out for the execrable alien autopsy footage.

A photo in itself will tell us little or nothing. There will be a story
attached and the trail will always disappear into a dead end.

An alien body, now that would be something!:rolleyes:

Well, there was the famous alien autopsy film, wasn't there? :p
 
There's the legendary 'silver suited figure' photo that I've been blathering about in other posts. It's probably fake tho'. It's basically a flash shot of, um, a silver suited figure. It was taken by a police chief responding to an anonymous call out, which should immediately create suspicion.

Then there is the Peak District little green man photo; taken near Manchester, on the edge of the Moors. It's a very blurred shot of a small vaguely greenish figure. No details are really visible. Analysis is even less helpful then on yer average UFO photo; 'experts' were only able to say that the figure is really there. As to what or who it is...
 
"Then there is the Peak District little green man photo; taken near Manchester, on the edge of the Moors."

Correction - this photo was allegedly taken on Ilkley Moor, near a place called White Wells, where 'fairies' were reported in the C19th (Andy Roberts- 'Ghosts & Legends of Yorkshire' (Jarrold 1992) p47 {quoting 'Folklore Record' 1878}

Despite the fact that most local researchers are skeptical of the photo, Ilkley Moor is well worth visiting and/or reading up on, as it is a 'hot spot' for anomalous events, and has some excellent prehistoric remains - stone circles & cup + ring stones.
 
My mistake. Idleness, that's all it is.

The location of the 'green thing' photo is interesting, due to the proliferation of significant ancient sites in the area. I believe that the very same stretch of moorland is said to be haunted by a white lady? And Fairy sitings as well...

The main cause for skeptiscism (spelt wrong, I know) is the timing; the light indicates that the photo was taken much later then claimed. Which has been immediately countered by claims of missing time, possible abduction etc. Being neither a witness to the event or an expert on photography, I cannot deny either side.

Does anyone know of any others? Logically, if such things have a material existence of some kind and can be photographed, there must be shots out there which have never seen the light of day, stashed away in attics and the like. Well, we can dream anyway.



Incidentally, it just occurred to me how remiscent all the 'Alien Autopsy'/'crashed saucer' photos are to 'The Haunter of the Dark' by HP Lovecraft (he gets everywhere). Alien bases on high remote moorlands, dead alien photos, abductions...did he know something?

Or has he just been making the last 60 years up?
 
I remember seeing a photo of the silver spaceman, he looked like some really bug and tall guy covered on tinfoil.

You can find a number of unconvincing alien photos (and links to several more) at http://www.setlab.org/photogallery.html .

Link is dead. See post below for link to archived version.

Some of my favourites can be found in the book 'Unearthly Disclosures' by Timothy Good. If you ever check it out, I recommend some of the later Filiberto Caponi photographs, which made me laugh so hard I nearly puked. I think one or two of these might actually be on the above site.

As for convincing photographs - I've never seen one that would make me look twice (although my graduation photograph is now in an archive of the CIA).

Come one. Spill the beans. What did you do to piss them off. It's no fair leaving us all in suspence like this.

One theory is that they believed the mad staring of my eyes and other-worldly pose was a threat to world peace. On the other hand, the fact that I resembled a cross between Batman and serial killer Andrei Chikatilo after a hard night a-slicin' and a-dicin' might have had something to do with it.

Mr. Crowley spent most of his life trying to get a photo that heinous taken of himself. If he'd have done half as well he'd have died a happy man.
 
The silver spacesuit thing was, I believe, taken by one Jeff Greenshaw a police sargeant in Somewheresville, Alabama in the fifties.

It was eventually revealed that he had hoaxed it with his mate from the fire department, and the resulting brouhaha lost him his job and his home....

Or maybe it didn't. I'm a bit tired...
 
Mr. Bingo I had a look at the photo on the link you put up and boy are those alien photo's fakes. They look like they are straight out of a sci-fi movie. What do these people take us for?? Just because they say it is an alien doesn't mean it is one.

Absolutely. I think sometimes, people see what they want to see, and perhaps less scrupulous people pick up on this. Who was that greasy fraud who made a fortune a few years back from marketing that appalling alien autopsy film? Despite it being so fake it was funny, millions of people bought it. Maybe they just wanted a laugh; who knows?

However, that's just aliens. UFO's - that's a different matter. The only problem we have now is that with the advent of digital cameras, photographic evidence is pretty much null and void unless some sort of negative can be produced. Anyone with a £300 PC art package and a hint of talent can produce a convincing picture in 30 minutes. Sad, eh?
 
So Mr Bingo you are saying if you somehow get a ufo on film it's best to use an older (outdated) thing so it is easier to prove it's real.

Lucydru, that's what I reckon (although I've never managed to photograph anything odd on any type of camera). It's very difficult to manipulate a photographic negative and very easy to manipulate a digital image.

Of course, you could go the Billy Meier route and build a bunch of models and photograph these. After all, old Billy fooled a large part of the UFO community for years with his photos, which is pretty impressive when you remember he only had one arm.
 
Didn't that yorkshire policeman get a photo of a Nordic that had already abducted him and and to have abducted a polish imigrant who dissearrpeared for a week before being found on the the top of a coal pile with his eyebrows burned off and with strange pills in his stomach?
 
Love that Photo Gallery (The SET one), esp the totally unanomalous contrails, the pictures of what look like F111's taken against a sunset, and a big boring machine (boring in both senses of the word).

As for the alien piccies, well...

My favourite alien/spaceman type photo was that one taken at (?) Fylingdales years back - bloke snapped his little girl with moors in background, photos came back from Chemists with large as life figure in spacesuit about ten feet behind her, slightly up an embankment - -needless to say wasn't there when bloke took piccie.

Before long (somehow) local police turned up, poss MOD types as well and had long converstion with them: anyone else remember this one - has been on various "Blimey, that's a bit rum" type documentaries over the years?

That bit about the disapeared Polish man sounds like the story of an elderly Polish man who disappeared in Yorkshire a few years ago and turned up naked, burned and dead in a coalhouse a week later; it was widely speculated that he had been the victim of alien abduction. However, (The Real) Steve Jones, who will be speaking at the Unconvention next week, has an interesting non-paranormal theory about this. Ask him of you get the chance.
 
I always thought this pic was pretty convincing. ;)
