“BEST EVER” UFO PHOTOGRAPH

Five decades ago, a Costa Rican government mapping team accidentally took a photo that looks absolutely strange, other-worldly, and totally convincing. Is it?

Are there better UFO photos out there then the Lake Cote photo? Undoubtedly. Unfortunately, it seems that those photos have yet to be released, declassified, or otherwise made available to the general public. Until that day occurs, this one is going to have to do. It has many fans and a few detractors, but the story is still compelling.

Given that your human civilization has not yet achieved interstellar travel, you are likely unaware of how lonely space is. But we are aware! So we hooked up some garvanplows to a couple of flargenbows (and a minoflor, just for giggles) and set out to find some friends in the cosmos. 

For the last hundred years, we’ve been trying to make contact with you, to no avail. But then our Lead Human Researcher made a huge breakthrough: nothing is real to humans until it is on the internet. So with the help of your Squarespace technology, we sincerely hope the 55,419th time is the charm!

FAQs

We understand enough to know that you probably have questions. It’s not often that a UFO is photographed with such clarity. The appearance of a technologically superior space craft in the skies of Costa Rica has profound implications. What do we really know?

  • Aerial photographer Sergio Loaiza took the rare photograph while flying at 10,000 ft above Costa Rica in 1971 - and it has since been described as one of the "best ever" UFO image.

  • Yes!!!!!!!! Please trust us!!! PLEASE!

  • No. When we step off our spacecraft, we’re basically “holding our breath” the way humans would underwater. We’re able to do it for several hours before needing to re-board the ship for some of our fresh air.

  • We use the stars primarily as a map for travel, but sure, they could be a map for our personalities, too!

  • About 75%, which is as much DNA as you share with a chicken. This makes you poor test subjects, so no worries there!

  • Our understanding of time is very different from yours. Let’s just say roughly about a hundred times longer than your civilization has existed.

  • The official language of Canis Minor is Canish.

  • Friends! We want to share new experiences, our deepest darkest secrets and funny memes.

  • They’re both so cute! Nothing beats Ooflas, our own little companions, though. We had to leave them at home with a friend.

  • We understand not all humans have the time or access to travel, but honestly, every inch of your planet has something to brag about!

  • Please don’t scream or run away! No one likes being greeted that way. Just say “howdy,” or however else you’d greet a normal human friend.

  • Not humans, if that’s what you’re wondering.

  • Technically, you could. However, because of temporal anomalies as you approach the speed of light, by the time you returned to Earth, everyone you know and love would no longer be alive.

  • Astral Paddle is the cosmos’ fastest-growing sport. We’d love to show you how it’s played.

  • It has taken hundreds of years to get your attention! Now that we have it, we want to make our efforts worthwhile. So, we’ll be around awhile.
