Calvine Photo Hoax Theories

[JMartJr]

It was thirty-six years ago. The world wasn't so paranoid as it is now.

1990 was the year before the Soviet Union fell apart in 1991. The Baltic states were separating themselves from Soviet domination. Gulf War 1 kicked off. At least a little (maybe even justified) paranoia was probably hanging around... ^_^

And the supposition that it was a genuine craft of some sort would have been seen as ridiculous by anyone who read their description of the supposed capabilities of the object in flight, let alone the silly "extraterrestrial" connotations. The MOD consisted of serious people, not a group to fall for schoolboy pranks.

Absolutely agree on this.

You mean, unlike our DoD, with "serious" people like Elizondo, Stratton, Stublebine, Channing, Grusch, Gallaudet, Barber and a host of others? I would assume the MoD has similar "serious" people. The late Nick Pope, a MoD civilian really created the modern myth of the Calvine photo.
