UFO photographed in San Bernardino 1956

Summary

A 15-year-old boy in San Bernardino, California, captured an image of a disc-shaped object in July 1956. While taking photos with his new camera, he saw a metallic object without sound passing 1800 feet away. The only photo taken showed a blurry object with strange shadows, prompting official analysis. The object was found to be very close to the camera, contradicting the observer's claim. The Air Force concluded it was a hoax, noting inconsistencies in lighting and focus. The boy, influenced by sci-fi media, couldn't detail his camera or film. Despite local media coverage, the case was closed as a prank. Some remain puzzled, but authorities see it as a clear photographic trick.
