Rex Heflin, Santa Ana, California USA 1965 photo depicts a flat-top "straw hat" saucer. To the general public, it is perhaps the best known shape of what a UFO may look like, as it was included in encyclopedia Britannica's 1966 yearbook, classified under "spacecraft".

On 3-Aug-1965 about 12:30pm, Rex E. Heflin, age 38, a highway maintainance engineer for the Orange County road department, spotted an unusual object approaching the road. He stopped his truck, grabbed the camera off the seat beside him and shot three pictures as rapidly as possible. As the object moved away, Heflin scrambled out of the truck and took his fourth and final picture of a "smoke ring". Heflin tried to contact his office by radio while the UFO was near his vehicle, but the radio refused to operate. Heflin estimated the UFO to be ~20ft (6m) in diameter and ~700ft (210m) away and said a rotating light was apparent underneath the UFO.

  • whn heflin was at his house to guys in black suit called "Men in Black" they took his photos ND THN THEY SENT THM BAC CAUSE EVERYONE SAID THE WHERE A HOAX

  • People, this is the 60's plastics although plastic products were made in the 50's it wasn't quite as prevelant to the already existing metal products, that being said this could be anything a higway engineer could find anywhere his job took him 9mostly open roadhighways, right?) so this isn't any type of hat, it's junk found within the surrounding area: hub cap, pressure cooker top, etc. or just plain photo manipulation...pic @ 3:40 seem like forced perspective, looking at poles to ufo.

  • Why are all the best ufo pics from the 50s and 60s when every cell phone takes better pics than a poloroid.
