UFOs, ETs & Cropcircles photoalbum

Here is a collection of our favorite pictures of ETs and UFOs. Some picts, including some of the genuine UFO picts, have been made and sent in by visitors to our site. Much thanks goes to them!

While all picts found on this page have been sorted as thoroughly as possible on how likely it is they are genuine or not, an error could still have been made by us. If you think a pict is not put in the right category and have a relevant reason for it, then we're always interested to hear about it.

UFOs, genuine.
The following pictures are most likely 100% authentic.

UFO crash in Russia.
Over the last 60 years, worldwide a few dozen crashed saucers have been found and secretly recovered. This is one that was found in the former USSR, in Sverdlovsky (formerly Yekatrinburg), in March 1969.
UFO crash in Russia.
Contrary to what one could be led to think, the craft seen on these picts has not crashed into the ground. Allegedly, when it crashed, the craft broke in half. What we see on the picts is half of the craft leaning against a tree, as it ended up after the other half disintegrated upon impact.
3 UFOs, Austria.
A beautiful picture of 3 UFOs manoeuvering.
Belgium flap 1989-1990.
A sensational and famous picture of a triangular UFO, seen from below, taken in Belgium at Petit Rechain during the Belgium UFO flap in March, 1990. It's very possible that this is a man-made craft (see below).

Overexposed version.
This overexposed version of the picture unveils the craft's body more effectively.
Belgium flap 1989-1990.
Belgium flap, different source than previous picts. These photos were taken by J.S. Henrardi in Wallonia, Belgium on June 15, 1990. Notice the odd shape of the nose of the object.

UFOs, misinterpretations.
For the following pictures it has been established that what can be seen is quite something else than a space-craft.

Danmark, Jutland.
What appears to be a strange UFO with the looks of of a jelly-fish is actually an odd vapour-cloud caused by a heating plant that is located not far from where this picture was shot.

UFOs, uncertain authenticity.
For the following pictures it's uncertain if they show genuine or fake UFOs.
If you have any additional information, please

Mexico, Pueblo, Atlixco 1991.
Although the photographer of this picture, police officer Carlos Diaz, made some pictures that are shown in the previous section, that appear to be very authentic, due to the abnormal "magma" phenomenon that can be observed, it is on the other hand very possible that this picture is in fact not authentic. The windows seem to have an improbable shape, and the object does not seem to be of the "magma" kind.
Mexico, Tlaxacaca 1991.
Another picture of this type, allegedly taken in a different place. It looks like Diaz initially photographed a genuine UFO, and decided to follow up with some fake material, for whatever reasons...

Manmade flying saucers and UFOs.
The following pictures show manmade flying saucers and other crafts that are with 100% certainty real... Some of the UFOs listed above as authentic could well belong to one of the series mentioned below... With such crafts, it's easy to imagine that many "UFO" encounters and "ET" abductions could actually well be occurring in the context of secret programs of earthlings...

The Vril-8 Odin.
The Vril society built their first working flying saucer already in 1934! They started working on flying saucers in 1922. The Vril-8 Odin was built by the NAZIs somewhere around 1945...
The Vril-8 Odin.
The source for this picture, as well as some of the others is http://ovnis.esoterica.pt/
The Vril-8 Odin.
In the early 1940s it was already possible to make pictures in color, although the technique was not yet widely used.
The Vril 6.
This is the model that was built after The Vril 5. Here it's on a base, with a car parked behind it...

The Vril 6 on base.
Another picture of the Vril 6 on an airbase, with a man holding on to it.
The Vril-7 Geist.
This is the Vril-7 Geist model...
Vril-1 Jager.
The 1st Vril model, built around 1941.
RFZ with man.
Some sources say RFZ stands for "Rund Flugzeuge", meaning "Round Airplane", while others say it stands for "Reichsflugzeuge", meaning "Airplane of the Reich".

Haunebu on base.
Probably a model from the Haunebu series. The Nazis built their first Haunebu in 1939...
Haunebu model.
Another unknown model of the Haunebu series.
Haunebu gun.
Detail of the Haunebu's gun. The NAZIs tried several methods of mounting guns on their saucers, but the guns made the saucers very unstable. So they ended by giving up on that idea and later used what was called a "PHASER" weapon, which stands for "Phased Energy Rectifier", a weapon that put out a single shaft of concentrated phasic energy that could tore through armor.
Haunebu gun drawing.
A drawing of a Haunebu gun.

Haunebu I plan.
A work drawing/plan of the first Haunebu model, built in 1939... It had a diameter of 25m. It flew thanks to what the Germans called a "Mag(netic) Field Impulser", as specified on the plan...
Haunebu II plan.
A work drawing/plan of the Haunebu II model, built in 1942/1943. It's diameter varied from 26m to 36m.
Haunebu III plan.
A work drawing/plan of the Haunebu II model, built in 1942/1943. It had a diameter of 71m.
Andromeda plan.
The Andromeda was a craft with a diameter of 139m that was meant to transport troops, up to 5 saucers, and equipment. It was probably not built, although they could have done it easily... Maybe some of the "flying cigars" that have been seen are later models...

Vril 1 plan.
A work drawing/plan of the first Vril model.
Miethe V-7 plan.
This craft was based on a "Luft Turbine" that burned air mixed with nitrogen in a 50,000 degree chamber. Helium was injected into the chamber to cool it and add to the thrust through gas expansion.
Foo Fighters.
At the end of WW2, the allied air forces frequently encountered what they thought to be a German secret weapon, consisting of balls of fire, which they called "Foo Fighters". "Foo" actually comes from the French word for "fire", namely "feu".
Foo Fighter.
Actually, there were at least 4 different German weapons that were called "Foo Fighters": the disc WNF Feuerball, the larger lone ZW Kugelblitz, the spherical Kugelwaffen, and the anti-radar balloon Seifenblasen. The Kugelwaffen and Feuerballs were even seen in Japan.

UK Skyship.
This flying saucer was designed by the British firm, Airship Industries... Date unknown (probably in the 1950s/1960s).
The Horten HIX
One of the crafts designed by Doenitz, whose designs were discovered and taken by the Americans. This craft was designed in early 1945 and it definitely seems to be the precursor of the American Stealth craft, whose technology therefore must be considered at least some 50 years old!
The Gotha P.60A
Another German craft by Doenitz. of early 1945, discovered by the Americans. Also with a triangular shape (actually, it's more of a flying wing). More German designs found by the Americans can be seen here.

The Manta
A triangular craft that looks a lot like the UFO of Petit Rechain, Belgium, although it's not the same.
The TR-3B
Another human made triangular craft.

UFOs, fake.
For the following pictures it's most likely 100% certain they show FAKE UFOs.

Special hoax cases.

There have been many hoaxes related to the UFO phenomenon and ETs, although probably surprisingly less than many people could be led to believe by systematic "debunkers" of the subject. But there are hoaxes, and then there are *mega-hoaxes*. Some hoaxers leave all the others far behind them biting the dust, because of the sheer scale of their deception. Here's a special section on them.

The Billy Meier case, and related hoaxes.

Note: This section on the Billy Meier hoax has been fully updated.
To find many new articles, videos, and tons of pictures about this hoax, click here!

During the 1970s, a Swiss farmer by the name of Billy Meier produced some of the most startling pictures and films of flying objects ever. But over the years, various research has shown most of these can be proven to be fakes.

Nevertheless, this is still one of the most enduring yet probably also one of the most complex hoax cases ever, especially because it can not be entirely excluded some extraordinary events occured at the Meier farm in Switzerland, as it is alledged by various persons who say to have witnessed strange activity in the skies, and other. Since we don't hold the belief everyone is a hoaxer, we think these witnesses may be taken serious and taken on their word. You can read about some of them here.

On the other hand, it can't be entirely excluded at least some of these witnesses have made untrue statements due to being under influence of the sect like Meier cult-community. We also note that in many (other) cases, witnesses describe UFOs that are very different from the objects that can be seen in Meier's pictures and film footage.

Whatever the truth about these witnesses and possible UFO activity in the region where Meier lives, the deception of most of Meier's picts, films, and other material speaks for itself, while it must be noted that the pictures that are generally available online, or published in videos and books, are the "creme of the crop", where it is the least obvious that strings have been used, or that other manipulations have been applied.

According to researcher Kal Korff, Meier made his first fake UFO photograps already when he spent time in India, in the 1960s and early 1970s, long before coming out with the famous pictures of the mid 1970s. It's fair to say that by the time Meier made his pictures public, his fakery skills were of a pretty high level for his time, and that he must have worked hard and long at perfecting them. Also, we believe Meier must have had help to make some of his fake "evidence", in certain instances from professionals (as for instance for the sound sample alleged to be from a spacecraft, which required particular sound equipment and know-how).

Our view is that the only reason why there is still a so called Meier "controversy", is simply the fact that making fake pictures of UFOs and other such material, and claiming they are genuine, are by itself not punishable by law, while certain governments have too much to hide to bring the subject of UFOs in the open, in order to allow genuine public scrutiny of it...

However, when considering certain aspects of this case, the question should be asked if the Meier hoax is merely a set-up by conmen without any scrupules, or in fact a kind of psy-op/disinfo operation to discredit the subject of UFOs in general, and/or to divert attention from more genuine cases. We consider it a very real possibility... Study the links and the presentation on this website and make up your own mind!

Billy Meier classic, but fake...
This is one of the best known picts made by Billy Meier. Much of his picts and videos look remarkably real and are quite difficult to be proven fake. However, even this classic Meier pict is fake, as the following analyses shows.

Billy Meier fake UFO on string.
Although it makes a nice picture, when you see the film footage of it, this "ET craft" is clearly moving as hanging on a string (notwithstanding the waving tree tops). You can find a clip of it here. You get the best result when viewing the clip 2x its normal speed! Bear in mind that this is a relatively LARGE model, which is why it looks relatively real, in particular when taken against the tree which is not necessarily as big as it seems (think of Bonsai trees!). When you view the other clips on the link mentioned, note that the wobbling left to right, is also typical for an object hanging on a string, and not the result of some "unstable magnetic field"...

Billy Meier fake UFO, reconstruction by K. K. Korff.
This is a reconstruction of one of the picts of a model very similar to the one seen in the previous picts, done by Kal Korff. He uses a simple plate, photographing it aproximately at the same height (albeit a little lower) of exactly the same hill Meier photographed his pict. Korff's full investigation can be found in his book on the Meier case.

Billy Meier fake UFO and proof of deception.

Graphic reconstruction.

According to Meier's ex-wife, as reported by Kal Korff, he made this fake UFO (above) with the cover of a garbage can and kitchen utensils, then photographed it from nearby. This pict offers IRREFUTABLE proof of a deliberate deception, without any special equipment or software needed to reach that verdict. All we have to do is look and think about what we're seeing. We see a "craft" that is in focus ("sharp") while the house on the background is out of focus ("blurry"). This means the house is a lot further away from the camera than the "craft" is. We can estimate from the size of the windows that the house is at aprox. 12m to 18m (39.4 to 59 feet) from the camera. Since the house is so much out of focus, while the craft is in focus, the craft must be at most at 1m to 2m (3.3 tot 6.6 feet) away from the camera. The craft is therefore at most +/- 1m (3.2 feet) large! It MUST just be a model, albeit a relatively large one. In fact, further analysis shows the model is in reality +/- 60 centimeters large (+/- 2 feet, or 23.6 inches). (Note that the above link leads to a slightly enlarged version of the pict available, which causes everything to be slightly more blurred than the original, but it still shows clearly that the "craft" in the foreground is much more in focus than the house in the background, plus some other flagrant discrepancies. This means the house is a lot further away from the camera than the "craft" is. We can estimate from the size of the windows that the house is at aprox. 12m to 18m (39.4 to 59 feet) from the camera. Since the house is so much out of focus, while the craft is in focus, the craft must be at most at 1m to 2m (3.3 tot 6.6 feet) away from the camera. The craft is therefore at most +/- 1,5m (4.9 feet) large! It MUST just be a model, albeit a relatively large one. (Note that the above link leads to a slightly enlarged version of the pict available, which causes everything to be slightly more blurred than the original, but it still shows clearly that the "craft" in the foreground is much more in focus than the house in the background, plus some other flagrant discrepancies. You can find the original pict here).

Graphic reconstruction as according to J. Deardorff.

James Deardorff is one of the Meier-clan "researchers" who claims these picts of the "Weddingcake craft" are authentic, according to his "scientific analysis" as posted on his website. On that page, he states that: "It is quite revealing to notice in Fig. 1 [ed: the pict of the previous analysis] that not only is the wedding-cake craft in good focus, but the main residence beyond it is in fairly good focus, too." But clearly, the craft is much better in focus (sharper) than the house, so there must be a considerable distance between them, according to my estimates: 10m to 16m, which is a fact Deardorff clearly tries to obfuscate... After his initial misleading statement, Deardorff claims: "For a wedding-cake craft of 7m diameter, the camera equation indicates it was situated about 13.5m from the camera." When taking into consideration Deardorff's calculation, that means the camera would be at least at 13.5m + 7m + 10m (to 16m) from the house, i.e. at 30.5m to 36.5m. This is clearly not what can be seen in the pict, as taking a picture from such a distance would show much more of the house, there would be more of the horizon to be seen, and there would be more space visible above the house (the roof line would be relatively lower). Deardorff's analysis is very clearly bogus, and can only be understood as an attempt to deceive...

Note about the camera-lens used and focal depth: we can't be really completely sure what camera-lens Meier used, but according to Meier's own saying, and according to the specifications mentioned by Deardorff, with a 35mm film, a lens focal length of 55mm, and a selected f-stop of f/11, with the subject being at 2 meters, then the near and far limits of acceptable sharpness would be at respectively 1.64 m and 2.56 m, with a hyperfocal distance of 8.97m, which is perfectly compatible with the calculation that the "craft" is in reality +/- 1.5m in diameter, and at +/- 2m from the camera, and which fully explains why the "craft" is significantly sharper than the house in the background.

On the other hand, if the camera would be at 13.5m of the "craft", as Deardorff claims, then the hyperfocal distance would still be at 8.97m, and when focussing on the craft there would simply have been NO noticeable difference at all between the sharpness of the "craft" and that of the house, which is clearly not what can be observed...
Also see Understanding Depth of Field in Photography, Hyperfocal Distance Guide, examples of hyperfocal distance settings 1, 2, 3, and this online depth of field calculator. To get a feeling of what one can do by playing around with lenses, depth of field and lens focal length, see these examples.

Billy Meier fake UFO and proof of deception.

Graphic reconstruction.

This pic (above) is another example of IRREFUTABLE proof of a deception, without any special equipment or software needed to analyze it. Since the "craft" is perfectly in focus ("sharp"), while the car is completely out of focus ("blurry"), to know if this is a hoax or not, all that we need is to answer the following question: is the "craft" in front of the car, or is it behind the car? If it is behind the car, it is definitely a big object. This is the impression Meier intended to create... But if the "craft" is in front of the car, it is definitely a relatively small object, much too small to carry a humanoid of normal size. The object can definitely not be above the car, and be aprox. twice the size of the car, since in that case both the object and the car would be perfectly in focus, which is not the case. With two objects, one being in focus ("sharp") and the other out of focus ("blurry"), while neither shape overlaps the other, it would, with all cirumstances being neutral, be impossible to tell which is in front of the other. However, here it is the light that allows the viewer to determine that the "craft" is really IN FRONT of the car. The reason for that is that the light source is slightly behind the camera, at its left, yet it is the object and NOT the car that is the brightest, and receiving the most light. Therefore, the object MUST be in front of the car (hanging slightly above eye-level), and be significantly smaller to be so much more in focus ("sharper") than the car, and brighter at the same time. There is simply no way to refute this fact... The car is aprox. 4,3m long. We can estimate from the size of the car that the camera is aproximately at +/- 10m distance. Therefore the craft must be at most at 1m to 2m (3.3 tot 6.6 feet) away from the camera. The craft is therefore at most +/- 1m (3.2 feet) large! This is in complete accord with the previous analysis, and a perfect corroboration of our final conclusion that it is in fact +/- 60 centimeters large (+/- 2 feet, or 23.6 inches).

This pict (above) comes from the same series as the previous picts. If the previous analyses didn't convince everyone yet, then this pict should to the job. It's surely the ultimate "smoking gun", proving willful deception by Billy Meier, as it can clearly be seen that the object shown is hanging in front of the car!! Ooops...

It's a fact that due to the bad (i.e. low) resolution of the available original picture, and due the confusing lighting of object and car, one could easily oversee this fact. But after enlarging the pict several times, it becomes blatently obvious when looking at the area indicated by the red line, that the craft is with 100% certainty in front of the car, and is therefore much smaller than the car! Consequently it must be of similar dimensions as those calculated for the previous analysis! This pict was posted with the photo-"analysis" by James Deardorff mentioned earlier (page has been saved by us in its entirety in case it gets modified), which should be an indication of how "qualified" he really is to confirm the "authenticity" of these picts...

Billy Meier fake UFO.
Same fake UFO as previous picts. Here it can be clearly seen the "craft" is actually a small model, since it hangs in front and onto some of the branches of the FRONT tree, even though the Meier clan (i.e. Deardorff et al) claims it hangs "between" the 2 trees that can be seen... (The above link leads to an enlarged version of the available pict, find the original pict here).
Billy Meier fake UFO.
Same fake UFO as previous picts. Same false perspective trick as for the extensive analyses above. Notice that while the car projects a shadow to its left, no shadow can be seen coming from the "craft", even though this is precisely what should happen if the "craft" was hanging above the car, and not far IN FRONT of it, close to the camera... We also see the same focus discrepancies as for the previous picts. (The above link leads to a slightly enlarged version of the available pict, find the original pict here).

Fake Pleadians, Asket & Nera
Never being out of ideas, Meier even endeavoured to make fake picts of his mythical Pleadian visitors. When people noticed a reflection and a strange curve in the pictures, Meier tried to make believe that he took the photographs from a large videoscreen on board of a 'beamship'...
Michelle Della Fave, on the Dean Martin Show
In fact, Meier simply took pictures off a very earthly TV screen. The "Pleadian" he called "Asket", was in reality proven to be a dancer on the Dean Martin show, called Michelle Della Fave (not Susan McIver, a.k.a. Suzan Lund, as mentioned in the past on this page), who was part of the dance-group "the Golddiggers". Once this became known, Meier then claimed he was set up by the "Men in Black", and that they stole the original photos, replacing them by these. Sure, Billy...
Model in Meier's barn.
This is a picture of a model of a "Pleadian craft", which was allegedly found in a barn at Meier's farm, and photographed by the researcher Kal Korff. Meier has admitted that he owns such models, but claims they are only for his kids...
Fake UFO for demonstration.
Here's a rather good example of how easy it is to fake a UFO pict like those made by Meier. Note in this pict the extra difficulty of using clouds on the background, instead of a crystal clear blue sky, which appears in most of Meier's picts, and which make it easier to copy and paste objects. Read the full story and find more examples here. Other examples of Meier-type fake UFOs can be found in this interesting forum thread (scroll down).

Meier's and Adrian's "beamships" compared.
In the 1990s another "Pleiadean contactee" appeared, by the name of Adrian. He claimed to have photographed ET crafts of the same type as Meier's. When comparing these picts, Adrian's pict would seem to confirm the authenticity of Meier's picts of the same type of craft.
Pict by Adrian of several crafts on a row.
But this pict by Adrian clearly pushes things too far, as it shows 3 Meier type crafts, and an Adamski type craft (on the left), perfectly on a row, just right to be photographed through a patio railing.
Adrian's pict exposed.
A particular photo analysis shows that in fact the 3 Meier type crafts are hanging on a string. The same could be the case for the Adamski craft, or it could be a montage. The pict is a hoax, and obviously the work of someone who tried to benefit from Meier's initial hoax. Source: ufowatchdog.com
Adrian's pict exposed.
One doesn't really need any special software to see some of the strings, as shown in this enlargement.

The Rael cult.

This case is shocking, but it shouldn't discourage those genuinely interested in UFOs and extraterrestrial life!

Contrary to other hoaxes mentioned on this page, in the case of Rael there are no images of "evidence" to show at all, because... there simply isn't any! Still, the man who calls himself "Rael" has succeeded in building a big and very, very, lucrative following around his persona. A real financial empire, all based on his allegations of having had contact with ETs whom, he says, call themselves the Elohim, and who chose him to be their prophet...

As there is no proof to disprove, due to the fact that there isn't any (which in a way is pretty smart), one could think that this case therefore can't be proven to be a hoax. However there are many indications it is indeed precisely that. Amongst other things, it is firmly supported by statements from Roland Chevaleyre, a close and good childhood friend of Claude Vorilhon (Rael's original name), to whom Vorilhon allegedly once admitted he made everything up (Vorilhon's old friend's statements were recorded and shown in a TV documentary, which was broadcasted on the French channel M6, in 2001). The fact that Vorilhon made everything up is also firmly supported by statements of another - unnamed - friend whose account was published in the French Newspaper "Progrès de Lyon".

Rael/Vorilhon has created an astute but cunning mix out of the beliefs of Judaism, Christianity (Rael claims to be the half brother of Jesus, a religious fabrication in its own right), and Islam, while at the same time opposing these beliefs. He also uses genuine information as unraveled by Zacharia Sitchin, and ideas from cults such as Ron Hubbard's "Scientology", or Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh's (Osho) sect/movement. A careful analysis of all these sources, and the sources they are based on in turn, will demonstrate to anyone who cares to do it, that Rael's stories are pure fabrications (just like the religious beliefs they are based on!).

Like Billy Meier, Claude Vorilhon/Rael is a most cynical crook without any scruples whatsoever. And although - similarly to Meier, who also built a religion around his persona - he preaches a philosophy with many elements of "love and peace", which in appearance would seem not to do much harm, the mere fact that all is based on deception should be enough of a warning not to be manipulated and abused by the Rael sect.

After running into more and more problems in France, due to the expansion of his cult activities, Vorilhon/Rael immigrated to Canada, where he is now a resident and where he obtained a tax-exempt religious status for his Raelian movement...

More relevant info on Rael/Vorilhon and his followers can be found at the following links:
* The true story of "little Claudy" Vorilhon, now known as "His Holiness Rael"
* More articles (from the same site as the previous link)
* A.I.D.E.R. - French site of Ex-Raelians
* Excellent French site on the Rael hoax
* The official site of the Rael cult

Rael & "Elohim" craft.
Here we see Rael/Claude Vorilhon standing in a "spacy" uniform, in front of a reproduction of what he alleges was an extraterrestrial craft. Notice the craft's "clumsy" shape, and how it doesn't look at all like any genuine UFO seen on the picts of the "genuine" category on this page. (Pict is slightly enlarged. Original pict here)
Reconstruction of Rael's encounter.
This is how things were supposed to have looked like, when Rael had his alleged encounter with the "Elohim" on a vulcano in the French Puy de Dôme. Luckily for him, Rael never pursued a carreer as a movie art-director... But unfortunately for him, there are people who do pay attention to details, and who found that Rael messed up specific topographical details of his encounter (French), which is yet another indication he made everything up...
Mainstream press about Rael.
The Rael cult preaches liberal sex and the fact that it has many pretty looking young (sometimes very young) female members has always been an attractive subject for the main stream press...
Rael in court.
This is a news article about a court case Rael started against an ex-member of his sect, who used to translate Rael's books. After she made statements in an internet forum about Rael being a fraud, he sued her for defamation. Rael lost the case... of course...

Original Rael logo.
This is the first version of the original Rael cult logo, the way it was published in Vorhilhon's first book. It shows a swastika ("rotating" in the NAZI way), combined with a hexagram. He got the idea of using a hexagram with a symbol at its centre from the book "l'ère du VERSEAU", by Jean Sendy, which is a book about the Aquarius era, from which Vorhillon copied many ideas for his "teachings". Read more here (French).
2nd generation Rael logo.
This is what the original Rael logo was turned into after a while. Funny how it didn't seem to be important to use the logo exactly as it was allegedly seen by Vorhillon on the Elohim craft and uniforms...
Revised Rael logo.
Since Rael wants to build an ET/Elohim embassy in Jerusalem, he figured that the Nazi swastika could be somewhat problematic, so he changed the right angles of the swastika into curves and added two arms to make everything fit nicely. It was a smart move, and good for merchandizing... but the Israeli government is still declining all requests for permission to construct the ET embassy.

Other cases.

Here is a selection of "minor league" hoaxters.

Fake UFO by Jonathan Reed.
This fake triangular UFO was photographed by a certain Jonathan Reed, actually named Jonathan Rutter. The object on this pict is obviously fake, while research has shown Reed/Rutter's story is completely made up. Read an excellent report here.
Fake UFO by Jonathan Reed.
It can easily be seen this is a relatively small object, by comparing it to the size of the bush vegetation. It would be completely unable to carry an ET of the size shown on his fake picts of it (see fake ETs, below).
Abduction hoax
These were allegedly marks of a Brazialian man having been abducted, lifted up by a beam of light from a UFO. In reality the marks have been shown to have been made by burnig torches and/or hot metal bars...
Abduction hoax 2. See previous comment. This hoax was done by Urandir Oliveira whose goal seems to be to run a lucrative sect (probably inspired by illustruous predecessors like Meier and Rael). More info can be found here

ETs, genuine.
The following pictures are most likely 100% authentic.

Stranded alien.

Stranded alien 2.
The alien seems to have been stranded after his craft was shot down 2 days before by the Italien airforce.

Chile ET, 2004.
This ET was photographed in Chile. The silhouette is blurred allegedly due to a technical error of the camera with which this picture was made. Although the ET itself is rather blurred on the image, it does seem genuine.
Chile ET, 2004.
This is the original picture of the ET photographed in Chile. Notice the small silhouette crossing the path, just behind the horse on the left. From the proportions it can be concluded this is not a child or midget. Read the full report here.
Alien being interviewed.
This is a picture taken from a video of what seems to be an interview with what is most probably a genuine alien, at area 51. The footage is said to have been smuggled out of the base by a certain Victor. Read the full report here. You can download a version of the video of good internet quality here (Windows Media Player), and an edited less good quality version here (RealOne Player). View full screen for best results!
Alien being interviewed.
Another picture from the video, here showing a person on the background. Opinions diverge strongly whether or not this footage is genuine. However, there seem to be muscle contractions around as well as in the eyes and in other parts of the ET's face, while the body movements would be difficult to do with a puppet, much more so with a latex prop, indicating the footage is probably genuine. Other significant evidence the video is genuine is given by the reverse speech analysis of an interview with "Victor".

Dromiciops australis marsupialis.
A number of debunkers are claiming the creature of the previous picts is merely a rare marsupial of which the snout and leg were cut/manipulated. Compare the picts and be the judge of how likely this is...

ETs, uncertain authenticity.
For the following pictures it's uncertain if they show genuine or fake ETs.
If you have any additional information, please

Alleged reptilian alien.
This picture is said to show a reptilian alien. There's no direct reason to presume this pict is not authentic, but the picture is showing some photographic oddities and blurry enough to allow legitimate doubt.

Muddy head alien.

"Casper" ET.
At present we have no specific information on this pict. There are some indications the ET shown could be genuine.

ETs, probably fake.
For the following pictures it's highly probable - but not necessarily 100% sure - they show fake ET's.
If you have any additional information, please

Greeting alien.
Very likely fake, but cute though...
Alabama alien '73.
Chief of Police Greenshaw in Falkville Alabama photographed this alleged alien wearing a sort of tin foil space suit... It seems an improbable type of suit. More info can be found here.
Dragon baby.
This small baby dragon was found in Oxfordshire. Read the story here.

ETs, fake.
For the following pictures it's 100% certain they show FAKE ETs and/or related phenomena.

Alleged alien at area 51.
This "alien" has 100% positively been identified to actually be an inexpensive latex prop sculpted by the distinguished Hollywood makeup effects designer, Don Post. In certain retail shops it's possible to find a model of it that glows in the dark...

Roswell Alien prop
This is a cast from the prop that was used for the movie of the previous pict. It was sculpted by Steven Johnson.
Alien on bed.
Due to missing information, for a long time this picture was posted on this page, mistakenly being labeled as "very probably a genuine ET". In fact, it is just another version of the Roswell movie ET props, and a pretty good one too! It was never meant as a hoax, but can easily lead to misunderstandings...

New Mexico 'naked ape'.
According to Allen Hynek, the small being that can be seen here is actually a shaved monkey. The picture appears to be a montage, as seems to be indicated by the fact that the 2 men hold the naked monkey in a way that is too well aligned at the same height, as if they were actually holding a rigid object.

Fake alien by Jonathan Reed.
This fake alien was photographed by a certain Jonathan Reed, actually named Jonathan Rutter. It looks somewhat convincing, but the next picts should abolish the idea of genuineness, as do the fake UFO picts (see above). Furthermore, research has shown his story is completely made up. Read an excellent report here.
Fake Reed alien.
On this pict it's easier to see the ET is actually a dummy with a fake headwound. Reed's story is that he hit the ET when it attacked his dog. By the way, Rutter has a reputation to be allergic to dogs or any animal, and to never have owned one...
Fake Reed alien.
Fake inspection of the fake ET.

Alleged alien called "Aleshenka".
Around 2004, several web sites in Russia have spread the latest news about the nature of this creature that was found in Kashtim, Ural mountains, by an old woman: it's said that its DNA was checked and found to be that of a normal human female. The abnormality of the poor being raised further discussion as to whether she was the victim of radiation driven mutation or normal albeit unfortunate natural mutations.

UFO crash in Russia. Over the last 60 years, worldwide a few dozen crashed saucers have been found and secretly recovered. This is one that was found in the former USSR, in Sverdlovsky (formerly Yekatrinburg), in March 1969.	UFO crash in Russia. Contrary to what one could be led to think, the craft seen on these picts has not crashed into the ground. Allegedly, when it crashed, the craft broke in half. What we see on the picts is half of the craft leaning against a tree, as it ended up after the other half disintegrated upon impact.	3 UFOs, Austria. A beautiful picture of 3 UFOs manoeuvering.	Belgium flap 1989-1990. A sensational and famous picture of a triangular UFO, seen from below, taken in Belgium at Petit Rechain during the Belgium UFO flap in March, 1990. It's very possible that this is a man-made craft (see below).

The Vril-8 Odin. The Vril society built their first working flying saucer already in 1934! They started working on flying saucers in 1922. The Vril-8 Odin was built by the NAZIs somewhere around 1945...	The Vril-8 Odin. The source for this picture, as well as some of the others is http://ovnis.esoterica.pt/	The Vril-8 Odin. In the early 1940s it was already possible to make pictures in color, although the technique was not yet widely used.	The Vril 6. This is the model that was built after The Vril 5. Here it's on a base, with a car parked behind it...
The Vril 6 on base. Another picture of the Vril 6 on an airbase, with a man holding on to it.	The Vril-7 Geist. This is the Vril-7 Geist model...	Vril-1 Jager. The 1st Vril model, built around 1941.	RFZ with man. Some sources say RFZ stands for "Rund Flugzeuge", meaning "Round Airplane", while others say it stands for "Reichsflugzeuge", meaning "Airplane of the Reich".
Haunebu on base. Probably a model from the Haunebu series. The Nazis built their first Haunebu in 1939...	Haunebu model. Another unknown model of the Haunebu series.	Haunebu gun. Detail of the Haunebu's gun. The NAZIs tried several methods of mounting guns on their saucers, but the guns made the saucers very unstable. So they ended by giving up on that idea and later used what was called a "PHASER" weapon, which stands for "Phased Energy Rectifier", a weapon that put out a single shaft of concentrated phasic energy that could tore through armor.	Haunebu gun drawing. A drawing of a Haunebu gun.
Haunebu I plan. A work drawing/plan of the first Haunebu model, built in 1939... It had a diameter of 25m. It flew thanks to what the Germans called a "Mag(netic) Field Impulser", as specified on the plan...	Haunebu II plan. A work drawing/plan of the Haunebu II model, built in 1942/1943. It's diameter varied from 26m to 36m.	Haunebu III plan. A work drawing/plan of the Haunebu II model, built in 1942/1943. It had a diameter of 71m.	Andromeda plan. The Andromeda was a craft with a diameter of 139m that was meant to transport troops, up to 5 saucers, and equipment. It was probably not built, although they could have done it easily... Maybe some of the "flying cigars" that have been seen are later models...
Vril 1 plan. A work drawing/plan of the first Vril model.	Miethe V-7 plan. This craft was based on a "Luft Turbine" that burned air mixed with nitrogen in a 50,000 degree chamber. Helium was injected into the chamber to cool it and add to the thrust through gas expansion.	Foo Fighters. At the end of WW2, the allied air forces frequently encountered what they thought to be a German secret weapon, consisting of balls of fire, which they called "Foo Fighters". "Foo" actually comes from the French word for "fire", namely "feu".	Foo Fighter. Actually, there were at least 4 different German weapons that were called "Foo Fighters": the disc WNF Feuerball, the larger lone ZW Kugelblitz, the spherical Kugelwaffen, and the anti-radar balloon Seifenblasen. The Kugelwaffen and Feuerballs were even seen in Japan.
UK Skyship. This flying saucer was designed by the British firm, Airship Industries... Date unknown (probably in the 1950s/1960s).	The Horten HIX One of the crafts designed by Doenitz, whose designs were discovered and taken by the Americans. This craft was designed in early 1945 and it definitely seems to be the precursor of the American Stealth craft, whose technology therefore must be considered at least some 50 years old!	The Gotha P.60A Another German craft by Doenitz. of early 1945, discovered by the Americans. Also with a triangular shape (actually, it's more of a flying wing). More German designs found by the Americans can be seen here.
The Manta A triangular craft that looks a lot like the UFO of Petit Rechain, Belgium, although it's not the same.	The TR-3B Another human made triangular craft.

Billy Meier classic, but fake... This is one of the best known picts made by Billy Meier. Much of his picts and videos look remarkably real and are quite difficult to be proven fake. However, even this classic Meier pict is fake, as the following analyses shows.	Billy Meier classic fake. The previous UFO, in higher resolution.	Billy Meier's classic exposed. On this photo analysis by the researcher and UFO debunker Peter Brookesmith it can be clearly seen that the UFO is simply a model hanging on a string... Source (read more)	Billy Meier classic fake exposed. A verification of the previous photo analysis of the Meier fakery, although for a slightly different version of that pict.
Billy Meier fake UFO on string. Although it makes a nice picture, when you see the film footage of it, this "ET craft" is clearly moving as hanging on a string (notwithstanding the waving tree tops). You can find a clip of it here. You get the best result when viewing the clip 2x its normal speed! Bear in mind that this is a relatively LARGE model, which is why it looks relatively real, in particular when taken against the tree which is not necessarily as big as it seems (think of Bonsai trees!). When you view the other clips on the link mentioned, note that the wobbling left to right, is also typical for an object hanging on a string, and not the result of some "unstable magnetic field"...	Billy Meier fake UFO. The same fake craft as on the previous pict.	Billy Meier fake UFO, reconstruction by K. K. Korff. This is a reconstruction of one of the picts of a model very similar to the one seen in the previous picts, done by Kal Korff. He uses a simple plate, photographing it aproximately at the same height (albeit a little lower) of exactly the same hill Meier photographed his pict. Korff's full investigation can be found in his book on the Meier case.

Billy Meier fake UFO. Same fake UFO as previous picts. Note the completely unrealistic feel of this pict.	Billy Meier fake UFO. Same fake UFO as previous picts. Same trick with the trees as for the first pict.	Billy Meier fake UFO. Same fake UFO as previous picts. Here it can be clearly seen the "craft" is actually a small model, since it hangs in front and onto some of the branches of the FRONT tree, even though the Meier clan (i.e. Deardorff et al) claims it hangs "between" the 2 trees that can be seen... (The above link leads to an enlarged version of the available pict, find the original pict here).	Billy Meier fake UFO. Same fake UFO as previous picts. Same false perspective trick as for the extensive analyses above. Notice that while the car projects a shadow to its left, no shadow can be seen coming from the "craft", even though this is precisely what should happen if the "craft" was hanging above the car, and not far IN FRONT of it, close to the camera... We also see the same focus discrepancies as for the previous picts. (The above link leads to a slightly enlarged version of the available pict, find the original pict here).
Fake Pleadians, Asket & Nera Never being out of ideas, Meier even endeavoured to make fake picts of his mythical Pleadian visitors. When people noticed a reflection and a strange curve in the pictures, Meier tried to make believe that he took the photographs from a large videoscreen on board of a 'beamship'...	Michelle Della Fave, on the Dean Martin Show In fact, Meier simply took pictures off a very earthly TV screen. The "Pleadian" he called "Asket", was in reality proven to be a dancer on the Dean Martin show, called Michelle Della Fave (not Susan McIver, a.k.a. Suzan Lund, as mentioned in the past on this page), who was part of the dance-group "the Golddiggers". Once this became known, Meier then claimed he was set up by the "Men in Black", and that they stole the original photos, replacing them by these. Sure, Billy...	Model in Meier's barn. This is a picture of a model of a "Pleadian craft", which was allegedly found in a barn at Meier's farm, and photographed by the researcher Kal Korff. Meier has admitted that he owns such models, but claims they are only for his kids...	Fake UFO for demonstration. Here's a rather good example of how easy it is to fake a UFO pict like those made by Meier. Note in this pict the extra difficulty of using clouds on the background, instead of a crystal clear blue sky, which appears in most of Meier's picts, and which make it easier to copy and paste objects. Read the full story and find more examples here. Other examples of Meier-type fake UFOs can be found in this interesting forum thread (scroll down).
Meier's and Adrian's "beamships" compared. In the 1990s another "Pleiadean contactee" appeared, by the name of Adrian. He claimed to have photographed ET crafts of the same type as Meier's. When comparing these picts, Adrian's pict would seem to confirm the authenticity of Meier's picts of the same type of craft.	Pict by Adrian of several crafts on a row. But this pict by Adrian clearly pushes things too far, as it shows 3 Meier type crafts, and an Adamski type craft (on the left), perfectly on a row, just right to be photographed through a patio railing.	Adrian's pict exposed. A particular photo analysis shows that in fact the 3 Meier type crafts are hanging on a string. The same could be the case for the Adamski craft, or it could be a montage. The pict is a hoax, and obviously the work of someone who tried to benefit from Meier's initial hoax. Source: ufowatchdog.com	Adrian's pict exposed. One doesn't really need any special software to see some of the strings, as shown in this enlargement.

Rael & "Elohim" craft. Here we see Rael/Claude Vorilhon standing in a "spacy" uniform, in front of a reproduction of what he alleges was an extraterrestrial craft. Notice the craft's "clumsy" shape, and how it doesn't look at all like any genuine UFO seen on the picts of the "genuine" category on this page. (Pict is slightly enlarged. Original pict here)	Reconstruction of Rael's encounter. This is how things were supposed to have looked like, when Rael had his alleged encounter with the "Elohim" on a vulcano in the French Puy de Dôme. Luckily for him, Rael never pursued a carreer as a movie art-director... But unfortunately for him, there are people who do pay attention to details, and who found that Rael messed up specific topographical details of his encounter (French), which is yet another indication he made everything up...	Mainstream press about Rael. The Rael cult preaches liberal sex and the fact that it has many pretty looking young (sometimes very young) female members has always been an attractive subject for the main stream press...	Rael in court. This is a news article about a court case Rael started against an ex-member of his sect, who used to translate Rael's books. After she made statements in an internet forum about Rael being a fraud, he sued her for defamation. Rael lost the case... of course... Source: A.I.D.E.R. - French site of Ex-Raelians.
Original Rael logo. This is the first version of the original Rael cult logo, the way it was published in Vorhilhon's first book. It shows a swastika ("rotating" in the NAZI way), combined with a hexagram. He got the idea of using a hexagram with a symbol at its centre from the book "l'ère du VERSEAU", by Jean Sendy, which is a book about the Aquarius era, from which Vorhillon copied many ideas for his "teachings". Read more here (French).	2nd generation Rael logo. This is what the original Rael logo was turned into after a while. Funny how it didn't seem to be important to use the logo exactly as it was allegedly seen by Vorhillon on the Elohim craft and uniforms...	Revised Rael logo. Since Rael wants to build an ET/Elohim embassy in Jerusalem, he figured that the Nazi swastika could be somewhat problematic, so he changed the right angles of the swastika into curves and added two arms to make everything fit nicely. It was a smart move, and good for merchandizing... but the Israeli government is still declining all requests for permission to construct the ET embassy.

Solway Firth Spaceman '64. When Jim Templeton took this charming picture of his 5 year old daughter in the English countryside in May 1964, once it was developed in a Kodak laboratory a spaceman was found appearing on it.

Chile ET, 2004. This ET was photographed in Chile. The silhouette is blurred allegedly due to a technical error of the camera with which this picture was made. Although the ET itself is rather blurred on the image, it does seem genuine.	Chile ET, 2004. This is the original picture of the ET photographed in Chile. Notice the small silhouette crossing the path, just behind the horse on the left. From the proportions it can be concluded this is not a child or midget. Read the full report here.	Alien being interviewed. This is a picture taken from a video of what seems to be an interview with what is most probably a genuine alien, at area 51. The footage is said to have been smuggled out of the base by a certain Victor. Read the full report here. You can download a version of the video of good internet quality here (Windows Media Player), and an edited less good quality version here (RealOne Player). View full screen for best results!	Alien being interviewed. Another picture from the video, here showing a person on the background. Opinions diverge strongly whether or not this footage is genuine. However, there seem to be muscle contractions around as well as in the eyes and in other parts of the ET's face, while the body movements would be difficult to do with a puppet, much more so with a latex prop, indicating the footage is probably genuine. Other significant evidence the video is genuine is given by the reverse speech analysis of an interview with "Victor".

Watchmen of a thermoelectrical power station in Altamira, Tamaulipas, in Mexico, managed to capture an alleged alien entity on videotape, employing the power plant's security cameras.

There's no direct reason to presume this pict is not authentic, but the picture is showing some photographic oddities and blurry enough to allow legitimate doubt.	Alleged reptilian alien, zoom.

It was sculpted by Steven Johnson.	Alien on bed. Due to missing information, for a long time this picture was posted on this page, mistakenly being labeled as "very probably a genuine ET". In fact, it is just another version of the Roswell movie ET props, and a pretty good one too! It was never meant as a hoax, but can easily lead to misunderstandings...

New Mexico 'naked ape'. According to Allen Hynek, the small being that can be seen here is actually a shaved monkey. The picture appears to be a montage, as seems to be indicated by the fact that the 2 men hold the naked monkey in a way that is too well aligned at the same height, as if they were actually holding a rigid object.

Fake alien by Jonathan Reed. This fake alien was photographed by a certain Jonathan Reed, actually named Jonathan Rutter. It looks somewhat convincing, but the next picts should abolish the idea of genuineness, as do the fake UFO picts (see above). Furthermore, research has shown his story is completely made up. Read an excellent report here.	Fake Reed alien. On this pict it's easier to see the ET is actually a dummy with a fake headwound. Reed's story is that he hit the ET when it attacked his dog. By the way, Rutter has a reputation to be allergic to dogs or any animal, and to never have owned one...	Fake Reed alien. Fake inspection of the fake ET.
Alleged alien called "Aleshenka". Around 2004, several web sites in Russia have spread the latest news about the nature of this creature that was found in Kashtim, Ural mountains, by an old woman: it's said that its DNA was checked and found to be that of a normal human female. The abnormality of the poor being raised further discussion as to whether she was the victim of radiation driven mutation or normal albeit unfortunate natural mutations.	Hoax meeting ET and Bush.
