The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has declared a photograph of an unknown translucent, mantis-like creature taken in Taiwan to be authentic, labeling it as previously dismissed “an alien from outer space.” The announcement was made on May 18 through the What’s the jam portal.
The image, captured by Taiwan police officer Chen Yun Qiang in 2011 along the shores of Jia Ming Mountain Lake, initially showed a typical reservoir landscape on his smartphone before revealing an unusual silhouette. The Taiwanese Ufo Society has verified the photograph’s authenticity after analysis, while skeptics attribute the artifact to smartphone camera distortions under sunlight exposure.
The original image was submitted to the FBI, where authorities confirmed its legitimacy as described in the source material.
