Obviously the image from Caplans book is from the set of the movie as the shape is identical, but can we find the exact image used with the empty chairs etc, is it from the movie or is it a BTS shot

It shows up on Pinterest

You've reminded me of an old UFO book (sorry, it must have been more than sixty years ago that I looked at it ...and laughed ...so I have no idea what it was called) had photos of lenticular clouds over a mountain peak, labeled as alien craft. Several years after that I was living very close to a mountain where the phenomenon was sometimes seen.

This book makes us question whether Caplan himself has been trapped by the True Believer disease, uncritically reprinting photos without vetting them, or whether he is just a shyster out to make a dollar. If he has been involved for the fifty years stated on the blurb, it may be the former. Either way, this is a great catch.
