HUNGARIAN
UFO SNAPSHOT

On
October 27th, 1996, Lajos Kosina was visiting his girlfriend's
parents' house in the small village of Erpatak in the
county of Szabolcs-Szatmar, Hungary. Lajos’s girlfriend
posed for one snapshot in her parents garden and no one
noticed anything unusual in the sky at the time.
Upon
having the photograph developed some weeks later, Lajos
was surprised to see a 'disc-shaped' object in the sky
behind his girlfriend. Although curious, they did not
show the photograph in question to anyone for several
months. They were not really interested in it. Eventually,
via a friend of the photographer, the photograph in question
found its way to the Hungarian UFO Network (HUFON) who
have conducted some preliminary research.
HUFON
have studied the photograph using both optical and computer
techniques on the original negative and have concluded
that the UFO is not a result of a film fault, nor is it
a small model suspended on a wire. HUFON researchers are
convinced that it is a genuine UFO and not the result
of a hoax.
Further
study of the photograph by HUFON revealed that the UFO
was not blurred. To them, this indicated that it was either
stationary or moving very slow and was not a model being
thrown through the air behind the young lady in the picture.
Having questioned the photographer, HUFON could find no
evidence to support the idea that he may have hoaxed the
photo.
HUFON
researchers were left with the conclusion that this is
a genuine UFO photograph, and that a real, flat, disc-shaped
object, several meters in diameter can be seen in the
photo, the surface of which appears to reflect the autumn
sunshine.

Kiss is a Director of the Hungarian UFO Network.

British UFO Research Association.
