Hi Readers!
Is this 50-year-old photograph really, as many say, the best picture of a UFO ever taken? It was published by many world media outlets and shared widely on social media, showing a saucer-like object over Costa Rica.

It was taken by aerial photographer Sergio Loaiza in September 1971 as he flew over Costa Rica on a mission to survey land for the construction of a hydroelectric project planned near the Arenal Volcano.

The photo was the property of National Geographic Costa Rica and was later released by Esteban Carranza, a Costa Rican citizen. Carranza has a copy of the original negative housed in the National Archives of Costa Rica. He got it from his uncle, who had obtained the copy from the NGI.

“I made this high-res scan, met with people at the National Geographic Institute, and tracked the technician in charge of the camera back in 1971. But there’s no reason for the image to sit on my desktop. Disclosure is a team effort, and everyone should have this image,” Mr Carranza said in an interview.

As far as we can determine, this photo has never been successfully debunked to this very day, although it has been analyzed by many experts who concluded the object appeared real. The group, including Dr. Richard Haines and Dr. Jacques Vallée, among other experts, said the image was not
a result of double exposure or deliberate fabrication, according to a UAP media article.
