One issue with the Palomar scans was that it was impossible to check the original plates for emulsion artefacts becasue they had all... -

Agree.
It strikes me that the problem with this approach of looking for more sky survey-like material shot in the same way with similar technology at the same time is that the analysis is also likely to repeat any flaws in the original papers. That is... -

Sorry, John, you have posted a very long and confusing video, and if you want people to help, you need to be a lot clearer about exactly where the UFO is. At this point, I still have no idea what you mean by "the 21:51 photo" Why not post this... -

Charlie Wiser replied to the thread Travis Walton case: Crew boss confesses hoax.But Fitzgerald in SUNlite concluded that they were Canadian.
