The photo was taken by Sergio Loaiza in 1971 as he flew over Costa Rica on a mission to survey land for the construction of a hydroelectric project.
A 50-year-old photograph is making a buzz on the internet after claims that it shows an unidentified flying object (UFO). Published by a number of media outlets and shared widely on Twitter, the black and white photo shows a saucer-like object over Costa Rica. I made this high res scan last year, met with people on the National Geographic Institute and tracked the technician in charge of the camera back in 1971.But there's no reason for the image to sit on my desktop. Disclosure is a team effort and everyone should have this image. https://t.co/pXUPOPVP4t
Users say that this is the best photograph of a UFO (believed to be used by aliens) ever taken. It was clicked by aerial photographer Sergio Loaiza in September, 1971, as he flew over Costa Rica on a mission to survey land for the construction of a hydroelectric project, according to a report in Daily Star.
The project was planned near the Arenal Volcano in the South American country.
Mr Loaiza took multiple high resolution photos from an altitude of 10,000 feet of the lake below and surrounding rainforest at 20-second intervals using his automated 100lb camera.
