The Calvine UFO images - an explainer:
The image on the left is a GCI recreation that I worked on a few years ago with a Los Angeles-based graphic artist. We created it over several hours, for a UK TV show, based on my memory, and on original UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) documentation. I'm confident (because, of course, I've seen the original photo - all six photos, in fact) that it's 80-90% accurate.
The picture in the middle is Craig Lindsay's image. The MoD hasn't confirmed its authenticity, or commented on its provenance, so I have to follow that same policy. It's an interesting image, but all the bizarre (and mutually-contradictory) theories about Christmas decorations, reflections in water, or mountain peaks viewed through cloud, are based on this unauthenticated picture; so - in evidential terms - they're worthless! And whatever the provenance of Craig Lindsay's image, these various theories - seemingly suggested by imaginative ufologists - aren't consistent with the raw data in the original Intelligence Community (IC) assessment.
The image on the right is a photocopy of a vufoil that was made from one of the original images. The fact that a line drawing was done may look odd, but for reasons I can't really discuss in public, a line drawing is often part of the process in an IC imagery analysis tasking. Anyway, the image is from a declassified MoD UAP file that was kept in my office, and is now at the UK's National Archives. Thus, ironically (given its cartoonish-looking appearance), it's the only one of the 3 images I've posted here that everyone can be 100% certain is authentic!
Here's a link to the inside story of what the MoD did and thought about all this:

If you watch the first 60 seconds of President Trump's recent rally in Phoenix, you might think there's some subliminal UFO messaging being slipped into the imagery ... 🛸👽
