    My mother did her own developing in the bathroom in the 1950s. Dad made a blackout screen for the window, they bought a red lightbulb and a lens, and dad made her an adjustable enlarger. It's not that complicated, when you're dealing with...

    Yeah, I think we all still consider that a possibility. A photo of a photo. Again, any number of relatively easy ways to construct the photo in camera, no need for darkroom manipulation. I think even that may be a possibility, but I don't know...

    Not sure how common in terms of numbers or compared to other countries, but it was certainly a hobby thing. One of my schoolteachers in the 1980s (in UK) had a darkroom and did his own processing. If the Calvine photographer had an interest in...

    OK, I note that you did not cite an instance of anybody saying that witnesses have no idea what a star looks like or any other derogatory statement about the witnesses. Perhaps more importantly, you ably explained your position without putting...

    And yet many, many trained personnel have misidentified stars and planets in a wide variety of situations, over, and over and over and over again. As I'm sure you are aware. Anyone can make this kind of mistake. As an amateur astronomer, I have...

    Please cite an example where anybody here has said that witnesses have no idea what a star looks like. Please cite an example of anybody saying that witnesses would not recognize a lighthouse if they were sat on top of it. The point is undercut...

    Well Sirius is significantly further away from the Moon than Jupiter and Saturn on this date, so would have been more clearly visible. When one of the witnesses on the tape (no one knows who) says "Colours!" I'd give about even odds that he...

    Well. it's Ridpath's theory about the "other lights" seen by Halt and co. Most of Ian Ridpath's proposed explanation on his website concerns the lighthouse. It isn't necessary to establish what specific stars/ planets were being seen to theorise...
