Radio Officer T. Fogl photographed a UFO from the bridge of the SS Ramsay off San Pedro, California, in December 1957. The disc was at first a mile away, but when it came closer he got two photographs. It had a flat dome, a tripod protuberance on its underside, and was silver and black. He later confessed to a hoax: the UFO was a model made from parts of an aeroplane kit. - ©TopFoto / Fortean
