Jim Templeton's photograph
The Solway Firth Spaceman (also known as the Solway Spaceman or the Cumberland Spaceman ) is a figure seen in a photograph taken on 23 May 1964 by fireman, photographer and local historian Jim Templeton (13 February 1920 – 27 November 2011).
The picture was taken on Burgh Marsh, situated near Burgh by Sands, overlooking the Solway Firth in Cumberland, England. Templeton claimed the photograph shows a background figure wearing a space suit and insisted that he did not see anyone present when the photograph was taken. The image was reproduced widely in contemporary newspapers[1] and gained the interest of ufologists.[2]
Journalist David Clarke posited an explanation for the anomaly in the photograph in a 2014 BBC interview, concluding that the figure was the photographer's wife, standing with her back towards the camera, her blue dress appearing white due to overexposure.[3]
