10 Most Famous Alien & UFO Pictures (And the Stories Behind Them)

The citizens of Earth have had to put up with a lot of extraterrestrial shenanigans over the years, or at least it seems that way. Many of these sightings and alien encounters have even been captured in pictures.

So here are 10 of those most famous alien and UFO pictures, in no particular order. What do you believe?

 Battle of Los Angeles

The 1942 Battle of Los Angeles may have been nothing more than a raid; the United States had just entered World War II, after all. But another theory surrounds the incident: that the air raid sirens were actually warning of an extraterrestrial assault.

The above is a retouched photograph of the event, which some ufologists have claimed show searchlights focusing on an alien ship.

 
 Lubbock Lights

 After their appearance in 1951 over Lubbock, Texas, the U.S. Air Force concluded that these strange lights were an “easily explainable natural phenomenon.”

But one of the witnesses, Carl Hart, snapped some photos of the lights on the evening of August 30, 1951, when he saw them flying by through his window. They were in groups, in V formations, and brighter than stars.

 
 Solway Firth Spaceman

In 1964, Jim Templeton was taking photographs of his daughter on Burgh Marsh in Cumbria, England. As Templeton took his three pictures, as far as he knew, it was just himself, his daughter, and an empty field of grass in the background.

That’s why, when he had the film developed, he was shocked to find what appeared to be a man in the background of one of the photographs. But not just any man; a space man.

 
 The Washington DC Incident

July 19, 1952. 11:40 pm. Seven unidentified objects were spotted on radar by an air traffic controller at Washington National Airport. The objects seemingly headed for the White House and the United States Capitol, and could be seen from the control tower: glowing orange and white lights, perhaps disks, that moved beyond the capabilities of any earthly craft.

By 5:30 am, the objects were gone. Unfortunately, while the above image usually accompanies this story (and therefore qualifies as “famous,” in my book), it’s unlikely to be related.

 
 The Belgian UFO Wave Triangle

 Not just a single UFO sighting, the so-called Belgian UFO wave of 1989-1990 left thousands of people wondering just what were those strange black triangles flying through the air? Oddly, however, only a single image, above, allegedly survived, despite all of those sightings.

 
 Tehran UFO Incident

On September 19, 1976, an unidentified object was detected on radar over Tehran, Iran. Two aircraft, approaching the object, allegedly experienced systems failure, forcing them to withdraw. The object was reported by concerned citizens, who telephoned the Imperial Iranian Air Force.

Again, the object was described as brighter and larger than a star. The above image is taken from a video that tends to be linked with this story. However, I can’t be sure.

 
 Alien Autopsy

The 1947 Roswell, New Mexico UFO crash is, without doubt, one of the most popular UFO incidents in the history of ufology. And while the above image, taken from the hoax Alien Autopsy footage, is clearly fake, I’ve always found it pretty iconic as far as aliens go. I remember it being kind of a big deal (if only ironically, I guess).

However, while its creator admits the footage is fake, he claims it is, in fact, a staged “reconstruction” of events that actually happened.

 
 The Phoenix Lights

On March 13, 1997, unidentified objects were spotted in the skies of Arizona and Nevada, US and Sonora, Mexico. Triangular objects with spherical lights of varying colors (red, orange, yellow, and in some cases white) were reported traveling the twilight sky.

Even the governor of Arizona at the time, Fife Symington, witnessed the event. “It was bigger than anything that I’ve ever seen,” he said, “It remains a great mystery.”

 
 McMinnville UFO Pictures

May 11, 1950. Evelyn Trent had been feeding rabbits on her farm near McMinnville, Oregon. On her way back to the house, though, her day took an interesting turn when she saw what she claimed was a metallic disk in the sky approaching her direction.

Her husband grabbed a camera, and was able to take two photographs before the object vanished into the west. The above is one of those photographs.


 A.L.F.

September 22, 1986. Sightings of a brown-haired humanoid creature were reported in the San Fernando Valley in California. The being, which was later nicknamed ALF (or Alien Life Form), continued to be sighted until early 1990.

This shocking photo, one of the few that remain, brings us a glimpse of this “ALF” as it rummages through an unsuspecting homeowner’s refrigerator. It is, unquestioningly, one of the most profound pieces of alien evidence ever recorded.
