This is a surprisingly openminded article from a mainstream news paper and
are as it said concentrating on pre digital photos that are harder to hoax. though
there may be developing smudges , dots and lens defects on them, though most
of those below are just unidentified flying objects......

Can YOU solve these UFO cold cases? Vintage 'alien' photos that governments
couldn't explain reveal world's strangest sightings Unresolved cases include 1957

The US government is still unable to explain around five per cent of UFO sightings
in its archives.Now one team of ‘alien hunters’ has dug up some of the best images
to see if the public can shed light on the eerie glows, mysterious orbs and flying
objects from the last few decades.Among them is a remarkable 1957 photo taken
by a test pilot near Edwards Air Force Base in California, allegedly showing a UFO
following a B-47 jet.

In 1957 this picture was taken by a test pilot near Edwards Air Force Base in
California. It shows a UFO allegedly following a B-47 jet
Another, released by the Aerial Phenomena Group, shows three mysterious lights
over the Manhattan skyline taken in 1984. It was taken by Philipe Orego from New
Jersey, and researchers could find no sign of a hoax at the time.
‘A UFO picture tells a thousand lies,’ Nigel Watson author of the UFO Investigations
Manual told DailyMail.com‘.The basic problem is that if a UFO photograph is taken
in daylight and looks close, clear and sharp, you suspect it is a fake.‘If it is out-of-
focus, distant and hard to define, then it can be a picture of anything in the sky -
from an insect, bird to a balloon or drone.‘The pictures here don’t seem to be faked
but each has its own story to tell. With old pictures, blobs or spots can appear due
to the way the film is developed or mishandled in the processing stage. ‘

Searchlights focus on an unidentified object over Los Angeles on February 25,
1942. The bright dots around the flashes are anti-aircraft shells exploding

New Year's Day in 1939: an unidentified man pictured somewhere in the US with an
unidentified object in the background. This image shows a picture of a UFO taken
somewhere in the United States on June 10, 1964, and was discovered in an attic a
number of years later
Watson said that a good case to illustrate this point is the image of the UFO over
Los Angeles.In February 1942, fears of a Japanese air raid and invasion struck LA.
On 23 February, a Japanese submarine allegedly shelled the Elwood Oil Field near
Goleto, north of Los Angeles.In the early hours of 25 February, a fleet of mystery
aircraft were seen heading for the city.Army Chief of Staff General George Marshall
reported in a memorandum to President Roosevelt dated 26 February 1942 that as
many as 15 airplanes may have been involved.Although 1430 rounds were
expended by the 37th Coast Artillery Brigade’s anti-aircraft guns no aircraft was hit
or shot down and no bombs were dropped by the aircraft.The only conclusion was
that commercial aircraft were used by enemy agents to determine the location of
anti-aircraft guns and to spread alarm.
‘This invasion scare became the subject of Steven Spielberg’s high-rolling comedy
movie ‘1941’ (1979) that shows how fear ensnares people in a web of obsession
and conflict fuelled by rumours and the media,’ said Watson.‘The lasting evidence
of the craft was a photograph of a ‘wigwam’ of searchlights converging on an
unidentified aircraft over Culver City.’An analysis by UFO expert Dr Bruce Maccabee
suggests that the object caught by the searchlight beams was 100 feet wide.
