How I turned a dollar store decoration into a flying saucer!
No skill required!
Not all hoaxes are elaborate. In fact, many of the most infamous hoaxes turned out to be ridiculously simple.
Consider the McMinnville photographs. Many UFO enthusiasts still insist that they depict a real flying saucer, and the Condon Report said that the photographs could possibly be considered strong evidence.
But skeptics (myself included) can point to a number of factors indicating that the photographs very likely show a model or piece of junk strung between two power lines. Doesn't get much simpler than that! Yet the effect is convincing and the photos themselves are striking even to the skeptic.
Frankly, I find the creativity behind most hoaxes to be far more interesting than the narratives provided by the hoaxers themselves. I admire the ingenuity behind using mundane objects as interstellar spacecraft! And what better way to recycle than by turning garbage into a flying saucer? So I keep my eyes open, constantly on the search for the next would-be UFO.
Recently, I came across a potential flying saucer at the local dollar store...
