Nowadays, it’s not so uncommon for some kind of aircraft to be flying above our heads without our knowledge. With air travel and the invention of drones, it’s even the norm.
If you look at a picture from the early 1900s, though, there is absolutely no good reason for discovering unidentified flying objects hovering overhead. These pictures of UFOs were taken before the invention of Photoshop and drones. They might make you a believer.

Known by UFO enthusiasts and rap rock fans as the “Battle of Los Angeles,” this picture is allegedly just a weather balloon. (But, those who believe claim to know better.)
There are logical explanations for these anomalies. Old photographs and prints are subject to wear over the years. Not only that, but vintage cameras took pictures that had many imperfections. It’s still difficult not getting at least a little creeped out, though.
