Dennis, please - I appreciate the respect, but your mischaracterization of the content of my web pages is hardly appropriate. The material on the page which referred to the Beaver photos simply *described* the features of the photos next to close ups of the described sections of the images. There is a section of my site which discusses luminosity. In its prior form I pointed out that the Beaver photo displayed a frequently reported UFO feature - the ventral cone of luminosity. The same feature, BTW, appears in the Spaur case. Since the discovery of the falsity of the Beaver photos, references to them have been removed, as is appropriate. I did not do any sort of luminosity "analysis" of the photos, except to indicate features which I thought were interesting and potentially suggestive. That does not qualify as analysis in my book. Nor did I offer any "corroborative" evidence in regard to the photo - indeed, I have no idea to what you refer. The only corroboration to the case comes from the witnesses as mentioned in Fuller's book. I had planned on doing some more detailed work that mentioned Beaver, and it was in the course of attempting to validate the case prior to the work that I obtained the admission of the hoax. So please, calm down and check your facts more carefully before making patently untrue claims about someone's handling or presentation of a case. ------ Mark Cashman, creator of The Temporal Doorway at http://www.temporaldoorway.com - Original digital art, writing, music and UFO research - UFO cases, analysis, classification systems, and more... http://www.temporaldoorway.com/ufo/index.htm ------
