UFO Footage FAKE!

It took the collective power of the C2C army, but we're now 100% sure the UFO footage we recently published on the site is FAKE (see January 1967 UFO(1)). The saucer object flying over the top secret NORAD radar reflector facility appears to be a Glencoe plastic model, originally manufactured in 1952.

How did we figure this out?

One of the biggest clues was the accuracy of the camera following the object with such a high level of understanding of movement. This was a close object and most UFO photos in sequence do not center as well.

But we didn't stop there.

A member of our UFO investigation team built a 3D computer object of the top (dome) and bottom of the plastic model. When compared to the radar images, all details were a perfect match. The conclusion was obvious: a Glencoe UFO model was used to create these very convincing UFO photos.
