World’s best ever UFO image known as the Calvine photograph revealed after 30 years

For more than 30 years, the “elusive” picture has remained a secret, yet it forms one of the “biggest mysteries” in UFO history.

This is the infamous UFO photo dubbed by some as the “world’s best” as it shows a huge diamond-shaped object pictured flying over the Scottish Highlands.

The so-called “Calvine Photograph” – which was for decades considered lost – has finally been uncovered after a years of research by academic and journalist Dr David Clarke, The Sun reports.

Showing what seems to be a huge angular object with what appears to be a Harrier jet in the distance, the image is an extraordinary piece of the UFO puzzle.

It was taken at around 9pm on August 4, 1990, by two hikers on a hillside near Calvine, just off the A9 some 35 miles (56 kilometres) northwest of Perth in Scotland.

The men – whose identities remain unknown to this day – claim they watched the metallic object hovering with a low hum for around 10 minutes, while fighter jets made passes in the distance.

As they watched the jaw dropping scene, the object – which is estimated to have been up to 100 feet (31 metres) long – then is said to have shot off at high speed straight up into the sky, never to be seen again.

But luckily they seemed to capture the moment on camera, snapping six photographs of the diamond-shaped craft with a fighter plane in the background.

The photos were then were given to the Scotland’s Daily Record newspaper who in turn passed them to the Ministry of Defence (MoD).

But for unknown reasons the story was never published – and the photos vanished into the black hole of Whitehall.

And so began the modern myth of the Calvine Photograph – with the images never being seen by the public, until now.
