Here's a classic UFO photograph taken on March 28th 1966 in Conisbrough, Yorkshire, England by a guy called Stephen Pratt on his way home from the fish and chip shop. He saw only on bright orange light, but when the film came out it showed three 'saucers' black against the sky.

            That must have been quite a shock!  Do you know why he was taking a photo of that particular place?

Sorry, I think I was unclear. The guy actually saw a Ufo in the sky but it was bright, luminous orange. When he took the photo, it came out as three dark objects, not the single bright one.

As far as I know he has never taken any other odd photos, and never really claimed any fame from this one. By all accounts he was just a boy on his way home from the chippy. lol.

Then again, they do look kinda too 'classic', but I don't know... they look cool.

2 things about this photo:

1.  The story that i have of this photo, is that Pratt was in his house at the time doing something (I don't know what), when he heard a noise coming from outside, so he looked out the window and saw the UFO's, he ran to get his camera and took the photo above.

2.  What really happened is this, he had just got a new camera and wanted to test it, but could not think of what to take a photo of, anyway what happened was, he was reading a book with an interview with Betty and Barney Rubble Hill in it, and he thought of a way to make his name known, he got some black paint and painted three saucer shaped craft on his window and then took the photo, that is why the photo is misty.  
He told this story recently, can't remember where it appeared tho.
there was and artical about this in a magazine were Pratt says about pianting the ufo on the widow. Not sure what the name of the mag was though illl look it out and post it on here. :st

cool.gif Wow, it sure kinda look real, but how can the UFOs be so near and big?
sorry for the english
this photo is a little too fake, i do product photography for 5 years, and i can tell this photo is fake, first, the ufos are a little more blur than the scene, that's means the ufo is not far away, but very close objects(5-10cm) it ust some ufo shaped paper sticked on the window, and shot through it.

second, the ufo has less detail than the scene, that's means the ufo are not outside, but inside the room.

i have seen many of these kinds of photos, they are all fake.

Right- these are not ufo- the boy was bored, he has a camera. He is in the house and suddenly saw something very interesting- and quite beautiful so he shot this picture- Alas the image was badly taken- the light out side the window is too bright- these three moths came out all black- the photo devlopers were the culprits yelling UFO once it was printed- so the little boy sits quietly with his new found fame.

Now he is quite innocent.

I too have read the report that the guy Pratt, actually confessed that he painted the 'ufo's' onto the window.
I think it was in some UFO sightings book - I'll check and let you know which one.

what nobody likes a simple moth story???
