UFO skeptics often allege that there is no authentic photographic evidence that UFOs exist.

(He also took a fourth picture; more on that later).
The pictures Heflin took with the Polaroid camera he carried for work clearly show a round, hat-like object with a dark band around its raised superstructure.
The pictures of the object are unambiguously clear and present an immediate problem for skeptics: Either the photos are clever fakes or they are actual pictures of a very unconventional flying craft; there is simply no third alternative explanation.
Heflin initially told investigators that he believed that he had probably photographed an experimental aircraft from a nearby Marine base.
