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...
I agree. And this is the heart of the matter. People do fake UFO photos, and since we have no idea who took the photo, it's pointless to speculate about a potential motive. And you don't even need a motive to fake a UFO photo, do you? I've had a...
Just went to get ground coffee at local Starbucks drive through. Amazingly as the young punk rock girl handed my bag of coffee to me, I noticed that she had a tattoo of the Bob Dobbs head with his pipe, from the Church of the SubGenius. I...
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.

Being a silver halide process if the negatives or prints were not properly washed and fixed [1] then they can degrade over time if not stored properly - light fast and tempturate control. (Been there, done that)

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...

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...
