Subject: UPN's 'Danger in our Skies' and holographs

Hello All,

By coincidence the Martian Face picture got scheduled to be taken
and presented just a few hours before the UPN program, "Danger in
our Skies." So the "Face" has received a lot of attention but
UPN's rendition of the Aug. 6th Mexico City UFO has not.

From what I gather, the main alternative UPN presented to the
reality of that UFO event was the idea that it was a holographic
projection, put on by some U.S. military research group that
figured Mexico City and its smog was a good place to test it.

Now, it seems, any important UFO sighting, witnessed and
photographed/video-taped, is subject to that explanation,
especially if a light beam of any sort is seen to emanate from
the UFO.

Do we have someone on this list knowledgeable enough on
holographs to tell us about the feasibility of projecting such an
image?  Is a uniform distribution of smog that allows a
visibility of a couple miles sufficient?

Would it require the intersection of two laser beams to do the
trick? If so, how would that work?

I suspect there are quite a few good objections to the
holographic hypothesis, and I'd like to see them aired here. No
doubt it would take a good deal of extra effort just to get such
an image to suddenly accelerate up to a certain velocity, and
then maintain that constant velocity for a while.

The other alternative hypothesis to a genuine UFO, of course, is
that of a carefully crafted computer simulation with planted
witnesses acting out their stories.
