About this episode

On September 4, 1971, a Costa Rican government mapping aircraft photographed Lago de Cote from thousands of feet in the air—and one frame captured a sharply defined, disc-shaped object that still hasn’t been conclusively explained. In this episode of Unveiled, filmmakers Adam Pillon and Megan Woomer discuss their new documentary The Cote Photo, the image’s government provenance, the high-resolution drum scan, cartographer Sergio Loaiza’s long-awaited testimony, and what they personally believe the mysterious object may actually be.
