The Secret Six
History has seen, disregarded and applauded more paranormal sightings, hoaxes and apparitions then it can reasonably account for.
Six events in particular have stood out to civilian and scientist as completely baffling.
Whether life on other planets, an elaborate deception or something the world is simply not ready to come to terms with, these particular events remain haunting reminders of a world outside of our own, one as of yet inexplicable and unidentified. The accounts, evidence and photographic documentation speak for themselves.

Although the clarity of these photos led to skepticism, it also provided undisputable evidence, in addition to the fact that two deputy police officers admitted to having seen the outline of these objects in the sky.

McMinnville, Oregon [May 11, 1950]

Cited as the most "creditable UFO photo ever taken," this flying object was only seen by three people, a farmer, his wife and father-in-law yet is applauded to be the most inexplicable photograph ever taken - or the best hoax of the 20th century.
Allegedly, the wife was on an uneventful walk outdoors when a rustle in her skirt made her look up into the sky.
Thinking that the government was once again experimenting with their army equipment, she asked for her husband to come with the camera and take some photos of the exciting activity in the sky.
What they captured was a parachute-like canopy, not any sort of military aircraft at all.
After showing the photos to a few friends and neighbours, Paul Trent was encouraged to submit his findings to a higher authority - and no one has been able to figure them out since.

Trindade, Brazil [Jan. 16, 1958]

Pilot, military officers and ship captains are often consider among the most reputable of otherworldly observers.
Individual accounts, family or friend findings and events not captured on film are among the least likely to be true, according to investigators - and certainly the least likely to be taken into consideration.
A record 47 crew members of the Brazilian naval vessel Almirante Saldanha captured an unidentified flying object hovering languidly along a mountaintop before moving along.
Multiple photographic accounts, complete consensus among passengers and seemingly veritable authenticity of the photographs have left naysayers baffled for decades.

Zanesville, Ohio [Nov. 13, 1966]
