The picture that caught the attention of the abnormal public was made from the International Space Station (ISS). As stated NASA website, made April 10, 2003 during the seventh expeditions. No annotation for the image. The frame hit the Atlantic the ocean, to which specific part of it, is not indicated. Photo at all especially not noticeable. Except one. At the top of it, approximately in the middle, against the black sky, an object is visible in the form drive. UFO. Enthusiasts naturally believe that by chance imprinted “flying saucer”. We saw that she was glittering metal and surrounded by a shining haze. And this, they say, proves: UFO – by no means a glare, but a real object hanging above the Earth.

Skeptics doubt it. And they think that there’s a certain “flying saucer” defective shooting. The reason is this: all the details of the picture are very clear, even far clouds. And the “disk” is blurry for some reason. If he was far away from the ISS, it was also supposed to be imprinted distinctly. And if it is some close subject that turned out to be out of focus, it’s not “flying saucer” at all.
