Some of these people belong in jail. I could write a book on this but I'm not looking for fame and sponsors. And that would be too much output of negative energy which makes me break-out. If you disagree with my assessment of these people and sites, email me with your take. I won't slam you and I won't post your comments unless you want me too, whether positive or negative. I've emailed this page to the people mentioned below with no response, so they don't want to challenge the comments. I had this page up for some time then removed it, but it needs to be said again, this time updated. And everyone should be aware of what some people will do to get recognition, money and sponsors. |

I'm getting pissed at radio shows and websites that sensationalize BS without any analysis. Especially manipulation of the facts and images. I apologize for these negative comments. However, their (dis) and misinformation, inaccuracies and plain lies need to be exposed. And money, ratings and fame are the motivations, not serious research on seeking the truth. And when one of these jerk-offs gets away with it, it sets back the subject by years.
I've already posted "negatives" about government employees I had to deal with (Laser Green Flash and Craft in Lunar Orbit) but the following people really deserve it:
It doesn't bother me that Coast to Coast radio never acknowledged my sending the frames or the brief description of the disk with a link to that page for them to review. (twice, one to Art Bell directly) But this does bother me;
They post what looks like pinpoints of light (obvious stars and planets), blurry objects too far away to do any analysis, debris on the lens, scribbles on rocks that you can't read, optical aberrations caused by out-of-focus cameras or movement, lens reflection and flare and many more types of bad photos. And no explanations or analysis for the "light orbs" they post. These "orbs", that are shown mostly around people and in graveyards, are reflections from mist in the air, lens reflections or flare, snow flakes and/or drizzle and dust in the air all caused by angle, focus, conditions and the flash from the camera.
You'll notice all the photos taken of light orbs are taken at night and use a flash and cheap digital, disposable or cell phone cameras. I'm sure everyone will agree that these orbs have suddenly surfaced the same time digital cameras became affordable for consumers. There's your reason, it's that simple without going into more technical explanations. In the right conditions this will happen with film cameras also, as well as in daylight. The lens and it's coating, or lack of, are the main culprits. Inexpensive digital cameras also have inferior lenses.
I've proven one of Bell's guests, Glenn Steckling, submitted manipulated photos from his book, that he claims are a Moon base and UFO's which have been blurred, brightened, rotated, manipulated and cropped from the original images and just plain lied about. (photo section at the bottom of this page)
And for what? To sell books and boost ratings. And they don't do any sort of background research on these charlatans or check out their claims either. They don't care. Ratings matter.
G.S. got on the show because of his dad, Fred, (RIP) who started this BS. And why doesn't he and others like him have their own web sites with analysis of their claims? Because they know it's crap! They only have links to buy their books. Although one enterprising captain, does have a web site and feeds the public his version of what he sees through his deluded imagination. And has convinced enough people so he doesn't have to get a job.
Art got C2C to be one of the top information shows on the paranormal subjects in the beginning. He has had some of the top scientists, authors, physicists and professionals sharing ground-breaking news and information. What happened? You don't see these people returning lately and I can see why. The new main host of the show is more interested in posting dumb-ass drawings of himself submitted from admiring listeners. |

The NUFORC web site has a hypocritical director I've ever had the displeasure of corresponding with. More than half of the sites reports are without photos or video and most that do have photos, have the same problem as C2C's. Too far away or bugs flying by and poor explanations and descriptions or none at all. And drawings that my 1 year old granddaughter could do better. And if he had done any research on his submitters reported sightings, the other half are explainable. On both sites, maybe one percent is valid. After I sent him my capture of the disk, I was checking out other submitted reports on his site and recognized something. So I submitted an explanation for the design that the two pilots found in a dry lake bed. |
|
Here is their story:
Occurred : 12/9/2006 12:00
These circles are at least 100 yards
across (Maybe much larger; hard to tell)." There was one set of car tire tracks which could easily be seen from the ground and we could see the tracks left from our landing,
but these perfect circles were not visible
from the ground - only from the air."
Davenport added this to the report: "If anyone knows what the cause of the ring-shaped formation is, we would welcome a report." |

This photo was included in the report.

Here is the same dry lake bed east of the Sheephole Mountains, near Twenty-Nine Palms. I found it in Google Earth and put a place mark there.
443Kb JPG |
What it is...
|
It's a directional indicator (variation of a Compass Rose) pointing to Magnetic North. (See Google's compass)
And I'm really surprised the pilots didn't know that. Then the dumb-asses landed on it! How would you like to go flying with those two "aviators"? Everyone who rents a plane/pilot, should take this photo with them (crop-out Google's compass and the place mark) and ask the pilot if he knows what it is. If he can't identify it, don't fly with him/her.
I sent Davenport this full description about the indicator;
These were scattered all over the southern California deserts for pilots in training during WWII. Because of magnetic anomalies in some of the mountains in southern California, these indicators were placed in areas to verify a pilots orientation. And useful for any pilot who lost their way. But they were only observable from a few hundred feet up to about 2 or 3000 feet. Later, some were used for paratrooper training targets. Most have disappeared due to erosion elements.
More recently, degree indicators were constructed pointing to True North. These were placed in areas like the one at Edwards Air Force Base because degrees are more accurate and reliable than compasses.
Here is the indicator at Edwards: Including the numbers, it's one mile in diameter.
(65Kb)
He thanked me in a reply but never posted this as an update with the military explanation in the original report. Makes you wonder.
Before I sent the above explanation for the indicator, I had submitted my own report about the disk I captured, and a link to the page. (5) Including the type of telescope and camera used and the specifications for both. I had to send Davenport more info again because he obviously can't retain a thought. Then he didn't think it worthy of posting. Again, this doesn't bother me. I have my own web site and get plenty of visitors, and without annoying, flashing .gif ads that make you want to put a bullet through the screen.
His grammar and wording needs work too. I placed footnote numbers next to his comments. Here is his final reply to me, copied and pasted word for word:
"Thank you very much for the note and clip! I cannot identify the object (1), but I don't think I could make the decision (2) that it is a genuine UFO (3), i.e. and intelligently controlled craft from another part of our galaxy (4). What type of camera did you use, please? Is a 1.3 mp CMOS a type of camera, or a brand of camera, please? (5)...above. I'm curious as to why the Moon is out of focus, if you were photographing it, at the time you captured the object with the camera. (6) How did you determine range to the object, please, without triangulation? (7) 6 and 7 are in the analysis at the disk page. Thank you, again"! Cordially, Peter B. Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center Washington State
My Comment: Like I said, he already had more information than what's posted on the disk page.
(1) I didn't ask him to identify the object! Nobody can, that's what gives it the capital U! (2) I don't think he should make a "decision" determining his next bowel movement. (3) What's a "genuine" UFO? The blurry bug streaking by? The blown-up section of debris on the lens? Or the purposely out of focus star from a cheap camera? Or the "genuine" art work from his submitters?
(4) And who said this is an "...intelligently controlled craft from another part of our galaxy?!"
P.D. needs to shut the blast door behind him in his new location at the missile silo and launch himself. Maybe I could capture him in my scope! Of course it would have to be an Unintelligent Flying Object from our planet. So what would that be?....A "genuine" UFO? I think so. |

Some of you have probably seen a certain web site where the "Enterprising Captain" will show you a pile of rocks and tell you it's machinery parts! He then "enhances" the area by changing contrast, color and brightness and blowing it up so big it gives you a headache. And now they look like blurry rocks.
Just where did these machine parts come from? There isn't anything else in these Mars 360° panoramas from Spirit and Opportunity that resemble remnants of a factory of any kind or any other artificial source. And there certainly would be large sections of some type of structure or casing that housed these parts. If these small parts didn't get buried by eons of dust and erosion, where's the rest of it? Oh, they must have come from the "Sphinx" that's a mile away. (another blurry rock).... What?... no metal tool shed?
Another annoying little fact is his use of the word "geometric". He throws it around like advertisers throw around the word "free". And neither one is true. I've come to hate both words. Except when free is used for freedom, as in, "Thank God I have the freedom to choose what web sites to view." He uses geometry in all his "analysis" of blurry lo-res photos that wouldn't show anything if you blew it up the size of a wall. That has to be his limit in math. But I'll bet he didn't pass. I never hear him using trig, calculus or quantum physics for anything. Or geological terminology for that matter. If he could, he wouldn't be posting this nonsense.
He sees dunes and ridge lines as "pipelines" that lead to, and come from nowhere. And hundreds of them in a row that happen to be in a valley between mountain ranges that looks like it was a massive dual channel at one time. (the original below) If his "pipelines" are still visible, they must be made of indestructible material. Don't you think there would be remnants of tank farms and other structures constructed of the same material? Even clearer, larger and most still standing? Not to mention cities. Or at least remnants of a waste-water treatment plant where his analysis belongs.
Original photo source: http://www.msss.com/moc_gallery/ab1_m04/images/FHA00818.html
This couldn't be dunes from wind or ridges from past water flow could it? Of course not, they have to be million year old viaducts used to supply water to cities all around the planet. What?...A super intelligent, advanced civilization with derelict craft still visible the size of the Daytona Speedway, parked precariously on the edge of an 8,000 foot chasm, using above ground plumbing?
Left image is his craft. Right image is original. Original photo source: http://www.msss.com/moc_gallery/ab1_m04/images/AB108505.html
And that craft is nothing more than either a sink-hole weakened or created by the collapsing edge of the chasm, or an impact crater.
He also sees "glass shuttle tubes" following, and in, the fractures of solid rock. Arthur C. Clarke first found these and our captain took it a step further. Of course there's no explanation of why someone would build such a fragile system inside an active fault line! And this description is after he already posted a previous "analysis" claiming they were fossilized worms hundreds of feet in diameter and miles long, (which is no longer on his site).
Source: http://www.msss.com/moc_gallery/ab1_m04/images/M0400291.html
Here's the best one: He sees fossilized bugs the size of San Francisco on the surface!
Here is an excerpt from his "analysis" of the M04-03288 image:
This is the original M04-03288. This type of geology is fascinating and numerous in this image.
Source: http://www.msss.com/moc_gallery/ab1_m04/images/M0403228.html
The majority of the geology in the above image was caused by past volcanic activity, followed by erosion processes including wind and water. When I emailed him with these words; "Volcanic soil and rock conflagration" ....someone replied...."Huh?" Whoever it was, didn't ID themselves.
I wonder what his analysis would be of this aerial photo of Bryce Canyon, Utah? But for all our sake's, don't tell him the Parks Service named this photo "Silent City!"

In my opinion, this person belongs in jail for fraudulently manipulating photos for profit. These are Glenn Steckling's submissions to Art Bell on C2C. His lies need to be exposed. Art doesn't buy this but he accepts it. And for the wrong reasons. They could care less how it affects research and the honest people seeking the truth. |

This is one of Steckling's UFO claims that has been brightened. http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo Bottom row. This is a low-oblique Sun angle that is near going behind the Moon as you will see in the subsequent photos. |
Another of his UFO's cropped and also brightened. This is a "blooming" reflection at the top of the camera lens from the EVA floodlight that was raised for this photo.
|
This is the original. Bottom of page |
This photo is the original previous sequential number with the floodlight in the foreground. They obviously wanted to see shots using different lighting positions. |
|
Steckling claims there is material pouring from the smaller crater into the larger one. |

Above is a cropped section of the original AS17-150-22959 of the twin crater Van de Graaff, without any enhancements. You'll notice in Steckling's manipulated image (above this one), he also rotated and flipped it horizontally. I rotated this image 180° for ease of comparison. Click to see full res. original. So...come on Glenn, challenge me, or better yet, try to sue me and I'll counter-sue and own your publishing company. Source: http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo /images/print/AS17/150/22959.jpg

This image is on the cover of his book. The caption at the top of the image shows his flagrant disrespect for all. This image been around for years. A site called "SkyWatch" floated this around. They don't exist anymore. The book cover doesn't show the captions. When you click on the original below, the gold rod is part of the EVA floodlight and the other instrument is part of the mass spectrometer. And it's from Apollo 16, not 11. Source: http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/frame/?AS16-120-19238 |
This is the image that got me to expose these frauds. Another of his UFO and base claims. This is one of the indexing triangles in the camera. You'll see the second triangle in the original. The round thing is what it looks like, a crater. He also rotated and vertically flipped the image for who-knows-why. I guess he thought it would fool everyone. You'll notice the shadow in the crater is in a reversed configuration in the original. Also, an attempt to "obscure" the fuducial mark (triangle) was made by whoever processed this image. Most in other images are white. Click on the image for original. Source: http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/lunarorbiter

The upper middle and right images (middle row) are from the Lunar Orbiter craft (LPI site). So is 4157 h3. They have been cropped and enlarged from large photos and rotated and brightened. And probably an image-flip was also done, since he did it to all the ones I've found so far. How do I know this? The lines you see are the radio transmission scan lines from the space craft to Earth. These scan lines are all in a horizontal pattern in the originals. When I find the originals, I'll post them as links to those images.
He also has his name in the files instead of the images numbers. I'm sure to make it harder to locate the originals. |
Location at this link also.

All three LPI images have been brightened. And at least four of them manipulated to change their appearance. He didn't say much about the middle image (middle row) but he did say what he wants you to see; Large equipment in the crater used for mining. All I see are two small, similar ridges on the left and right sides of the crater. The right photo (middle row) is supposed to have a cloud floating over the left rim. Hmm....in a no atmosphere, no air, no moisture, no pressure environment. Here's a fact sheet comparison of the Earth and Moon's physics. The lower table in the sheet has the pressures in the Atmosphere row. Source: http://www.spacegrant.hawaii.edu/class_acts/MoonFacts.html
As much as I would like to see it, there is nothing pouring into the crater from the smaller crater above it. (left image, middle and bottom row) The shading from the ridges on the inside wall of the crater give it this illusion. The ridges are caused by the collapsing crater wall. You can also see the debris on the floor of the crater from that collapse. When you open the original, there are other craters collapsing too. In his image, doctoring is involved by adding to the shaded areas. He also rotated and horizontally flipped this image as well. Even in the image size he submitted, you can see the smaller crater is empty. It has the same shaded and illuminated sides as the larger crater. If it was full of material, we should be able to see that material.
And if there were pipelines involved, they also would be visible. You would think there would be a processing plant nearby too. Sorry Glenn....well, not really...but you know I'm right. And shame on you for taking peoples money on such easily proven manipulated illusions.
And since these photos have been manipulated, the people that were duped into buying his book(s) have a fraud case. And I hope they follow it through. Start by demanding your money back from the publisher. But you'll find Steckling owns the publishing company. |

I have to give M. Schratt some credit for finding some DoD budget items that should be
questioned. (see...Do Black Budget Trillions Support A Secret American Space Program? On the ISS page)
But his other "finds", are proven manipulated.
He and others put this PDF together combined with other faked material into a book for sale.

Proof of the faked photos

Source of the text and photos: http://www.aerospaceweb.org/question/planes/q0204b.shtml
Excerpt from above link: We've finally identified the origin of the modified photos described above as coming from the website usafflyingsaucers.com. The site purports to provide evidence that the US Air Force built and tested four different disk-shaped aircraft during the 1950s and 1960s. Illustrating the site are several computer generated drawings, models, and images of the flying discs superimposed into pictures of actual planes. Both the site and the illustrations appear to be the creation of Michael H. Schratt. Schratt says that the information presented on the site comes from a writer named Jack D. Pickett. According to Pickett, he was asked to visit MacDill Air Force Base in Florida in 1967 to write an article on historic aircraft. Among the planes he says he saw stored at the base were these four saucer-shaped aircraft, and he also claims the base gave him access to hundreds of photos and videos of the craft. Despite this information, Pickett says the Air Force later decided to prevent him from publishing his article about the planes and they have remained a secret to this day. While we cannot dismiss his story out of hand and the existence of these flying disks may be confirmed someday, there is presently no evidence to corroborate the tale. Perhaps more importantly, the pictures created to support these claims ought to be clearly marked as computer generated conceptual images. It is at best misleading and at worst dishonest to present such pictures without explanation since the reader can easily mistake them for being real. The same comment applies to the entire site since it makes rather extraordinary statements written as though they are accepted facts when they are really conjecture and hearsay. The only disclaimer pointing out the conjectural nature of the site appears on one page in very small text that is easy to overlook. These disclaimers ought to be clearly stated at the top and bottom of every page as well as placed on each image to insure the reader knows they are not genuine photos. Note that the site usafflyingsaucers.com expired in January 2006 and is no longer available. |
The original images were focused on the D-558-2 Skyrocket developed by the US Navy.
(White aircraft in front)
The other aircraft in the photo are the F-86 Sabre Jet chase planes and the B-29 mothership
that carried this variant under it's wing.

But some plastic models usually have some origin of truth. I remember when the Stealth F-117 and B-2 (Spirit) Bomber showed up in models before the crafts were revealed. However, most are fictional craft from movies and TV shows. |

I'm as anxious as the next person to find out what's up there on our planets but let's not get carried away with outrageous claims just for notoriety, fame, money and sponsors.
Even my AS15-94-12741HR photo analysis may turn out to be radiation effects on film that we haven't discovered as yet. Or some type of processing anomaly. But until that's proven to me, it stands as I see correct. And I have contacted numerous agencies, both military and scientific that cannot give me even a guess. And I don't mean "official release" personnel, I have contacts in both areas that are not part of the "explanations for the public". |
|
I may be adding more if this type of "research" keeps getting out of hand.
And this is my opinion only and in no way a declaration of fact. (except for the photos proved to have been manipulated and the directional indicator in the dry lake bed) |
