The ‘Best Ever’ UFO Photo Has Been Published To Finally Reveal A Closer Look
By Nicole Rodrigues, 16 Aug 2022
A mysterious photo of a diamond-shaped UFO that researchers thought to have been lost to time has finally been released, 30 years after it was taken.
The image was snapped by hikers out in Calvine, Scotland on the night of August 4, 1990, and has since been known by some as the “clearest ever shot of a UFO” or, more officially, the ‘Calvine Photograph’.
What had initially been a normal night sky of stars was interrupted when a flying saucer zoomed overhead, compelling the quick-thinking hikers to whip out their cameras to document the moment.

Six colored photographs were taken in that short span of time, showing a UFO hovering in the Scottish night sky and emitting a low hum for about 10 minutes, before shooting upwards, never to be seen again.
The photographers, who have remained anonymous, say that the alien aircraft looked to be almost a hundred feet long. In the background of the picture, a fighter jet is seen. However, it is unclear if the jet just happened to be in the shot or if it was following the spaceship.
The image was promptly passed to Scotland’s Daily Record before it was then handed to the Ministry of Defense, where, just like the object it captured on film, it disappeared altogether.
Until now, that is. After years of scouring through record books and official documents for the image, Dr David Clarke, a UFO expert journalist and professor at Sheffield Hallam University, managed to track the coveted UFO sighting down by contacting the original RAF press officer, Craig Lindsay.
A copy of the photo was kept by Lindsay back in 1990—who still had it in the original letter given to the Daily Record—and after being reached out to by Dr Clarke, agreed to hand it over to the UAPMedia UK, a UFO campaign group, who eventually officially released the image to the public.
It is now part of the Sheffield Hallam University archives, and with its permission, the publication was able to conduct its own in-depth photographic analysis of the UFO.
Many questions have arisen now that the public has finally seen this elusive set of images.
Some theorize that it was actually just an experimental aircraft from the US called the Aurora. There has been no confirmation as to whether it is or not.
UAPMedia UK and witness statements that the publication has retrieved state that the way the object moved in the sky constitutes it as something otherworldly.
