| Abstract: | The Times of 27 October 1989 published a photograph of an UFO over Xernxija Bay. The accompanying story only reported from where and how the picture had been taken. According to The Times, the photographer stood at San Martin, and: 'The moment the photographer pressed the trigger, he spotted something flashing in the sky through the viewfinder. When he removed the camera from in front of his eyes, all he could see was a speck which seemed to have disintegrated into thin air.' With commendable reticence the editors did not try to give any sort of interpretation for this purported phenomenon. To them the lozenge-shaped object was apparently exactly what the abbreviation stands for: an Unidentified Flying Object, no more, no less. |
