    I haven’t seen these, so I thought I’d share. The second one, showing the disc-shaped object over the treeline, is very fascinating.

      I was immediately captivated by that one. It reminds me very much of the 1971 Costa Rican NatGeo photograph.

      It really is amazing the level of consistency in these sightings/photographs.

        That’s a great reference. I see the resemblance, assuming both photographs are legitimate.

          Here is the source for that. That was a photo a National Geographic mapping plane captured in 1971 during a project funded by the Costa Rican Electricity Institute. They believed they captured a flying disc at the moment of entry or exit of the water, as the camera captured a photo about every 13 seconds. It was estimated to be about 160ft in diameter.

            Thanks for providing that. 160 ft in diameter is rather large. It’s reassuring that two additional witnesses are attesting to the validity of the photograph.

        That is a fairly good match. The shape of them also are good examples of how there are so many “variations” in reported designs. It’s a sleek, simple design that is up for viewer’s interpretation. I can easily see someone describing these as a saucer, spinning top, shield, etc.

        Also curious how such an object would appear at night. Between its reflectiveness and curvature it could potentially appear as a blinking or wobbling light just from external light sources. Just speculation on how a “classic” design could account for other sightings.
