The world is full of blurry, grainy and probably fake photos which claim to show alien
spaceships zooming through the sky.
But the CIA wanted to see the best possible shots of unidentified flying
objects and even offered advice on how to snap the best possible images, it has emerged.
During the 20th century, spooks handed out documents which allowed extraterrestrial
investigators to record their findings and showed them how to take detailed photographs.
The files were released last year but just resurfaced after the CIA wrote a tweet about the
documents using the acronym ‘ICYMI’ – which means ‘in case you missed it’.
We dug up some long lost tips on how to take photographs of UFOs,’ the CIA wrote.
‘That
begs the question: Did CIA really investigate UFOs?’
The photography tips were aimed at
making sure images could be debunked or confirmed easily and advise ET hunters to keep
negatives, take shots of the background and try to snap UFOs from several different angles.
And if you’re wondering if the CIA did investigate UFO sightings, the answer is: yes.
Last year, the CIA finally made millions of pages of highly secret documents freely available
online.
The data includes UFO sightings and records of ‘psychic experiments’ such as the
Stargate programme, where the CIA worked with people such as Uri Geller.
