1963-Northcliffe, South Africa.

While renting houses for sale, for publication in a local newspaper, a real estate agent accidentally took this unknown flying object. She had never thought about the existence of flying saucers until she saw this object in the photo.

The original image was small, but a friend of her son's scanned it and enlarged it.

______________________

The photo was taken in the Notcliffe area, also called the "Eagle's Nest", near the El Corro area of JHB, near the Cresta Shopping Center, Blackheath / Randburg, South Africa. This man was a real estate agent in 1963 (now 80 years old) and took several photos of the houses that she put up for sale, for publication in the newspaper. 

It was a small black-and-white photo, and she saw a mysterious "mark" on it, but she couldn't make it out, but she kept it anyway. She lived in the same retirement village as my mother and showed her a picture. 

My mom immediately realized that it might be an unidentified flying object and asked if she could borrow it to show me. Well, thanks to today's technology, I scanned it and zoomed in, and voila!

Defects in old photos

There are a number of defects specific to film images. They are connected with the peculiarities of the film and principle photo.

The film in essence is a strip of transparent synthetic plastic, supported on her a photosensitive layer of chemical substances that can alter its transparency or properties under the action of light.
