U.S. Forest Service UFO Files and UFO Photographs

The United States Forest Service (USFS) manages and protects 154 national forests and 20 grasslands in 43 states and Puerto Rico. The agency’s mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the nation’s forests and grasslands to meet the needs of present and future generations.

You will notice photographs at the top of the release. I did confirm with the USFS via email, that these were the highest resolution photos available, sadly.
