AUTHENTIC HOAX?
By

Are you as irritated and disgusted as I am with all the fake pictures
of UFO’s and supposed aliens? Do the folks who hoax up these photographs have nothing better to do in their lives than attempt to create ‘realistic’ imitation photographs?
This subject has gotten under my skin for the last five years but just in the past year the number of videos appearing on subscription sites such as "You Tube" has increased, dramatically.
The problem with these hoax photographs is quite similar to the early 1950’s when you had famous "contactees" such as George Adamski claiming on-demand visitation with his star buddies. The effect is similar. It causes even open-minded people to assume the subject matter is total bunk!
It seems to me there are three possible reasons for hoaxes of this nature:
To fool as many people as possible for as long as possible. Case in point the Loch Ness Monster original photo, which was touted until very recently, to be authentic. Turned out to be a small wooden model. (The photographer was a doctor of fine reputation.)
To attempt to make money with the hoaxed photo(s). Get enough people to believe and you can then sell the copies to newspapers and magazines.
Government intervention. Just as there were always suspicions that George Adamski was, to some extent, funded by the United States Government, today’s hoaxed photos could be aided to a great degree by the government of the local country. Keep the confusion about UFO’s going strong and more people will believe it is all a myth.
The trouble for ordinary folks, like us, is that we have more and more trash to wade through to occasionally find a nugget of truth. Worse, we are rapidly advancing, technologically, to a point where it may become virtually impossible to separate the wheat from the chaff!
Next time you see an "authentic" UFO photograph you have to ask yourself: "Could this be just another well done fake?"
