I can give you a number of ways to fake those pictures with a film camera, including repeat exposures, models, and messing during development. With scanned-in images the options for digital manipulation are numerous.
However, in a case like this the pictures are so poor, and the information so third-hand, that there's very little point in me commenting on it. It says the pictures were analysed by experts - in which case who? What did they find?
If there's a silence from 'debunkers' it's because it's very difficult to prove something or disprove something on the basis of poor evidence. All we can do is say what we think is probable given the available evidence.
Ummm, it was pre-digital camera tech and was reviewed by NASA (said it was not tampered with in any way). Of course had you read all the posts you would have known that.![]()

I had read all of the posts and you'll note that I said:

All of that applies to film. I'll give you a clue: Only the last sentence applies just to digital cameras. I included it because the images have been converted to a digital format. Maybe even scanned in from a book.
As for experts - name them.
Saying something like "reviewed by NASA" is pretty meaningless without who, why, where, when and the results. The website could be wrong. They may be cherry-picking the bits of the analysis which support their beliefs.
Anyone can say they've had an expert examine something. Without providing the evidence that an expert has examined something it's anecdotal.
The fact that information came from a website that takes George Adamski seriously makes me think their fact-checking probably isn't up to much...
I am not going to believe something wasn't tampered or that an expert endorsed it just because a website says so.
If I did I'd probably be waiting for a free iPod and my money to come through from a prince in Nigeria...
