Most of us don't believe in UFOs or anything that is out side the norm. But then again, what are these pictures proving? Should we really be more open minded? Here are the 10 most authentic UFO sightings from the 1950s. Looks like the aliens didn't come back after the 1950s!!
10. 1956 - Rosetta/Natal, South Africa. July 17

... a well respected member of South African society. Her husband was a major in the South African Air Force, and Elizabeth worked for Air Force Intelligence.
Seven photographs were taken in all, two included here. There were also two witnesses to the taking of the photos.
9. 1953 - Moumra, Italy

Reportedly taken in Moumra, Italy, on December 1, 1953, the picture is barely usable.
8. 1952 - Passaic, New Jersey

George Stock was working in his yard on July 28, 1952, when this dome-shaped saucer appeared.
Because it hovered over transmission lines before heading for him, he was able to get five photos
7. 1952 - Salem, Massachusetts

During the peak of the 1952 UFO Flap, Shel Alpert, a USCG seaman on duty in the Coast Guard Weather Office at the Salem Coast Guard Station, saw four brilliant lights in the sky.
He called another Guardsman to see the lights, but in those few seconds the lights had become more dim. When they brightened again, he quickly took a single photograph through the window of the office.
This photo has been published in many books, newspapers and magazines.
6. 1952 -Lac Chauvet, France, July 18

A collection of pictures that have been filed and studied by the French GEPAN, then SEPRA state financed investigation committee, and considered genuine.
The photograph was taken by André Fregnale
5. 1952 - Barra da Tijuca, Brazil, May 7

While covering a news event for O'Cruzeiro Magazine, reporters Ed Kessel and Joao Martins saw an unusual flying object approaching their location.
Kessel snapped five black and white pictures of the object as it came right over them. The Brazilian Air Force would later find as many as 40 witnesses who saw the object.
4. 1951 - Lubbock, Texas

The famous photographs from the "Lubbock lights" in Texas, 31 August 1951. Years later, ignoring all testimonies and evidences, skeptics stated that these objects were... birds.
3. 1951 - California - Guy B. Marquand, Jr.

Guy B. Marquand, Jr. took this picture on a mountain road near Riverside, California, on November 23, 1951. He said the object above the skyline was a "flying saucer."
2. 1950 - May 8 - Paul Trent

This is one of the most famous UFO pictures ever taken. Photographed by Paul Trent, and first witnessed by his wife.
They were published in a local newspaper in McMinnville, Oregon, shortly thereafter. Soon, the Trent photos were published in Life magazine edition of June 26, 1950.
1. 1950 - Redbud, Illinois. April 23

Evidently this photo was purportedly taken by a Mr. Dean Morgan who was a part-time photographer who was simply in the area taking photographs at the time of this event.
Evidently he didn’t live in Redbud, but Greenville, where he still presently resides at 1520 Willow St.
