The Lake Cote Photo: A Filmmaker Investigates

from UAP Files Podcast · host UAP Files Podcast

In this episode, I’m joined by filmmaker Adam Pillon to explore one of the most compelling UFO cases ever captured on film—the Cote UFO photograph.Taken in 1971 during a government aerial mapping mission over Costa Rica, this image stands out for its clarity, credibility, and the fact it was captured on analog film using a high-precision cartographic camera. Decades later, it still hasn’t been convincingly explained.Adam, alongside producer Megan Woomer, set out to investigate this case in their documentary The Cote Photo. What started as a passion project quickly became something much deeper—connecting them with witnesses, researchers, and the original film itself.In this conversation, we cover:The story behind the Cote UFO photographWhat modern high-resolution scans revealedWhy this case is considered a cornerstone of UFO historyFirst-hand accounts from people in the regionHow making the film changed Adam’s perspectiveWhether you’re new to the topic or deep into UAP research, this is a case worth understanding.Want to support the channel?
