The roots of UFO reach back 82 years into the past. In 1936, a young machinist started his own company with dreams of developing, designing, building, and selling his own tripod heads, tripods, and motion picture cameras. He already had built and sold many of the tripod heads, tripods, and shoulder mounts for cameras. However, the marriage to his wife and the birth of a son dramatically changed his plans. Shortly after, Hughes Aircraft reached out to this dreamer's new company to begin the development, design, and engineering of visionary aircraft. As the world changed, it became very difficult for this young machinist to procure the aluminum to build his associated camera systems. As time went on, his son learned how to work on the machines with his father and the son got the "bug" to find new ways to capture visuals for the film industry. The rest is still in the future and later to become part of history. UFO's future is to serve visionary individuals who are looking for equipment that will capture the images of their dreams.
