Photos of an unknown object in the sky were taken by farming couple Paul and Evelyn Trent near McMinnville, Oregon on May 11, 1950. The photos were reprinted in Life magazine and in newspapers across the nation, and are often considered to be among the most famous photographs ever taken of a UFO.

Over the years, the Trents have consistently been described as honest, simple farm folk who never attempted to profit from their photographs, nor the notoriety they brought them. Evelyn Trent died in 1997 and Paul Trent in 1998; both insisted until the end of their lives that the sighting, and the photos, were genuine.

An F-18 weapons systems officer seated behind the pilot used his iPhone to capture images of three different objects he encountered off the East Coast in March 2019.

The objects, referred to as the “acorn,” “metallic blimp,” and “sphere,” were all reportedly captured within a period of 30 minutes on the same day.

After careful study by the UAP Task Force, the objects remain unidentified. The Task Force reports noted that the objects were able to remain stationary in high winds, with no movement, beyond the capability of known balloons or drones.
