Captured on the morning of July 16, 1952, this creepy photo appears to show four unidentified flying objects hovering across the skies of Salem, Massachusetts. We know that the photographer’s name was Shel Alpert, that it was taken at Salem’s Coast Guard Air Station, and that the objects were spotted above the Winter Island and Cat Cove areas, but little else is known about this bizarre image.
Some have claimed that the lights are simply reflections in the window through which it was taken. Others point to incidents throughout the 1950s in which supposedly similar crafts were seen. But the truth will likely remain a mystery forever.
