No Photographic Trickery Here...

With today's technological advancements, it is extremely easy, with the proper software, to create almost anything of a graphic nature on your computer. This includes, of course, pictures and videos of UFOs. Just take a look around the Net at some of the video sites today, and you will see a number of these that look so real, that they are hard to spot, even to an experienced viewer. Because of this, many UFO investigators put much more weight on older, analog photographs which were taken by amateur buffs who didn't have the means to manipulate film. The type of technology required was extremely expensive for its time, and therefore cost prohibitive for the masses.

One excellent older photograph that gives UFO enthusiasts reason to cheer is the 1937 photograph taken in Vancouver, British Columbia. The intriguing shot was taken by Leonard Lamoureux as he was taking photos of a Christmas light display. The object, which streamed across the sky from left to right, and then hovered, was also witnessed by his brother Wilfred. Take a look at the 1937 Vancouver City Hall UFO and you will see not only the story of the Vancouver photograph, but some other very interesting early UFO artifacts. The site is run by my good friend and fellow researcher Dirk Vander Ploeg. He and I often share reports and stories, and I certainly wanted to share this one with you.
