George Adamski's Hoaxed UFO

The following 2012 article by Joel Carpenter answers some questions I've had for a while.

When I was very young, I thought they were real. But the more I got involved in photography and cinematography, the more I understood depth of field and focal lengths and fields of view, and I could see that Adamski's saucers had to be faked.
Interestingly, the Adamski UFOs served as the basis for a lot of what we have in mind as Flying Saucers. They inspired FORBIDDEN PLANET and the ships used by THE INVADERS in the Roy Thinnes show. They are also what people visualise when they think of the Nazi UFO hoaxes, but in those they usually add a hakenkreuz.
What I'm seeing in modern times is not a decline of UFO sightings but a decline in humanoid sightings.
