{{See also|List of UFO-related hoaxes}}
* The [[Maury Island incident]]
* [[George Adamski]], over the space of two decades, made various claims about his meetings with telepathic aliens from nearby planets. He claimed photographs of the [[far side of the Moon]] taken by the Soviet lunar probe [[Luna 3]] in 1959 were fake, and that there were cities, trees and snow-capped mountains on the far side of the Moon. Among copycats was a shadowy British figure named [[Cedric Allingham]].
* Ed Walters, a building contractor, in 1987 allegedly perpetrated a hoax in [[Gulf Breeze, Florida]]. Walters claimed at first having seen a small UFO flying near his home and took some photographs of the craft. Walters reported and documented a series of UFO sightings over a period of three weeks and took several photographs. These sightings became famous, and are collectively referred to as the [[Gulf Breeze UFO incident]]. Three years later, in 1990, after the Walters family had moved, the new residents discovered a model of a UFO poorly hidden in the attic that bore an undeniable resemblance to the craft in Walters' photographs. Most investigators, like the forensic photo expert William G.
