Philip,

I have seen the work of a number of "photo analysts" in the UFO
field.  Generally speaking, I have not been impressed.  I will
say right off that I am not including Jeff Sainio in this lot.

The person who has impressed me the most in dealing with still
photos is Bruce Maccabee.  Bruce knows his business and is
thorough.  Ted Phillips has also impressed me with his genuine
photographic knowledge, but I don't know if he is still doing
anything.

Unfortunately, in today's world, a still photograph is very
unlikely to prove anything one way or the other.  Photo fakery
is just too easy today.
