Paul and Evelyn Trent photographed a metallic disc-shaped object over their farm, producing two of the most analyzed UFO photographs ever taken.
On the evening of May 11, 1950, Paul Trent noticed a metallic object silently crossing the sky above his family's farm outside McMinnville, Oregon. He alerted his wife Evelyn, retrieved a camera, and captured two photographs before the object disappeared into the distance. The negatives were later examined by multiple independent investigators, including photographic experts and government analysts. Despite decades of scrutiny, no conclusive evidence of fraud has been established, making the McMinnville photographs one of the most enduring pieces of photographic UFO evidence.
