The Cote Photo: The Best UFO Photograph Ever Taken? | Adam Pillon

That UFO Podcast

About

In 1971, a Costa Rican government mapping aircraft photographed Lake Cote every 13 seconds. Frame 299 showed nothing unusual. Frame 300 captured a metallic, disc-shaped object. By frame 301, it was gone. Nobody onboard saw it at the time.

Andy is joined by filmmaker Adam Pillon to discuss The Cote Photo, a new documentary investigating one of the clearest and best-documented UFO photographs ever made public.

They explore how the image was captured, its remarkable chain of custody, modern analysis of the film, the testimony of Sergio Loaiza and why this photograph still stands apart more than half a century later.

The Cote Photo is available now on Amazon, Apple TV and cotephoto.com.
