“Flying Saucer” Photos Found In National Archives Collection for Goddard Space Flight Center

The following photographs are found within the Goddard Space Flight Center, Graphic and Publication Services Branch Collection, within the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

Each holds the caption “Flying Saucer, June 4, 1964” within NARA’s holdings, and are part of Record Group 255: Records of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

They are archived here for reference purposes.

These are known to be Paul Villa’s UFO photographs from 1964 and are part of a larger narrative where he claimed contact with extraterrestrial beings. He reported that these beings communicated with him telepathically since childhood and provided insights into their advanced technology and peaceful mission. He claimed to have been guided to a location near Peralta, New Mexico, where he photographed a flying saucer, allegedly interacting with his environment in ways that demonstrated their technological capabilities, such as levitating his truck.

How these photographs wound up in the Goddard Space Flight Center records collection is unknown.
