Calvine Photo 1990 — 'Best UFO Photo of All Time' · UK-MOD Classified Until 2076

🔗 Score 7.9/10Partially Verified
📅 04.08.1990 · 📍 Calvine, Perthshire, Scotland
4 August 1990, 21:00: Two cooks from a Pitlochry hotel photograph a diamond-shaped object during a moorland hike — ~30m in size, black-metallic, silent, hovering. An RAF Harrier jet appears, circles the object several times — then flies away. The object ascends vertically, disappearing within seconds. 6 photos taken. The Daily Record (Glasgow) receives the photos → passes them to the MOD. Photos and negatives DISAPPEARED. MOD file: secrecy until 2076 due to 'data protection'. Normal period: 30 years. Nick Pope (MOD UFO office 1991–94): had an enlargement on his office wall — it was removed by superiors. MOD internal memo: 'Harrier identified. Diamond object: no conclusion possible — no Harrier in that area at that time.' 2022: Former RAF press officer Craig Lindsay publishes the only surviving print. Forensic analysis by Sheffield Hallam: 'Shows a real scene — no indication of manipulation.' Witnesses: 'Men in black suits, black car' — afterwards disappeared from work. CRITICISM: Mike Bara — mountain peak through inversion, not a UFO (counter-argument: sharp edges).
