s a press officer, I could see the implications of publishing a story about a UFO,” Craig says. “Not just for the MOD but for the individuals concerned and what it could do to their lives. The MOD policy was always one of ‘keep it quiet, don’t mention it, don’t talk about it, under any circumstances’.”
The Calvine sighting was of particular interest to the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP) in the US.
Its chief investigator Tony Dodd concluded that the object was “elaborate” and rounded rather than angular. He believed it was unlike any known aircraft.
Craig Lindsay does not share that view.
“What’s in the photo absolutely does not give you enough information to say anything about it,” he says. “You can say the photograph shows something in the sky – that’s crystal clear – but any more than that is pure conjecture. I can debunk the Harrier suggestion because you can’t tell that from the photo itself. The Harrier’s wings would have been swept forward and folded down the side. On this photo you can’t tell what position they are in.”
So, 31 years on, the photo of the so-called Calvine UFO remains a mystery. A picture telling a story that no-one seems willing or able to interpret.
