ufo picturesIn most UFO pictures, the vehicle is saucer shaped. Similarly the alien always has a wide forehead, pointy chin, skinny body and massive black eyes. UFO pictures have become hackneyed, which is what leads me to believe that they are all fake. If UFO pictures showed more varied types of vehicle they might be more plausible. Why are we predisposed to think they should resemble a saucer? The earliest science fiction novel, War of the Worlds, did not put the suggestion of saucer shaped vehicles in our minds. In the H.G. Wells novel the aliens came to Earth in projected missiles from the planet Mars. These missiles were cylindrical in shape. Similarly H.G. Wells’ aliens did not resemble human beings. Wells described his aliens as, “A big grayish rounded bulk, the size, perhaps, of a bear."
Perhaps UFO pictures often show a saucer shaped disk because of an alleged sighting circa 1950, when an Illinois pilot reported seeing a sixty foot disc shaped plane. As long as UFO pictures show the saucer shaped aircraft that popular culture has conditioned us to expect, I will never believe in their authenticity.
