This message by Bob Shell shows that complete "convincing" fakery methods/hardware/software is available to anyone who wishes to become rich and famous by showing UFOS, reconstructing the death of JFK or showing Clinton "doing it" with an alien. As far as UFOs are concerned, imagery of any kind photo, movie, video, has rarely, if ever been sufficient proof of the unexplainable. It all falls back on the witnesses.... unless there is some very sophisticated physics captured in the imagery, which would not have been known to a hoaxer. At any rate, the ability to create convincing fakes (each year, more convincing) amounts to throwing more rocks in the path toward the truth.... it takes time to climb around the rocks but we do it! So, if anyone sends me an electronic fake... or even a real...anonymously, I hope they don't expect much action from me. If a hoaxer wants to go the whole 9 yards and provide a story along with the fake, he/she had better be prepared forn a long and thorough grilling, complete with life story, etc. THE BETTER IT IS THE HARDER I LOOK..... and I take my time... investigations can last weeks, months, even years. So, if you've got a lot of $$$ invested in a fake, you better be able to wave it bye bye.
