The 1952 UFO Photograph

Our first case tonight features one of the oldest recorded instances of daytime
flying saucers.

And for the past 70 years, it's been deemed unexplained.

It's a muggy summer morning on July 16th, 1952.

Around 10 A.m., 21-year-old Shell Alpert, a Coast Guard seaman and naval
photographer, is inside his photo lab at the air station in Salem, Massachusetts, cleaning his camera.

Glancing out the window, he suddenly spots strange lights in the sky.

Quickly, he snatches his camera off the desk and makes UFO history.
