When I first seen the photo I right away thought it looked familiar... I read through the first page and noted that others thought it looked familiar too. I was going to post that it looks like old Billy Meier photos, but I wanted to read through the rest of the messages. Then I read that another also finds the photos familiar and reminiscent of old Billy Meier photos. Maybe this photo was taken by Billy as well? It certainly fits in with the "ambience" of a typical Billy Meier photo anyway...

Could you please tell your son to make a higher resolution scan? That would be great.

That will be fine, I guess we all can wait one day.
You don't happen to have any other stuff from your father that could be related to this?

Even the cheap scanners now have very high optical .dpi. I use a fifty dollar one at work for documents that has 4800 dpi optical from Epson. Of course nothing like the professional Epson I use here at home for photo reconstruction but it would be way better.
Exactly what does the paper label say? Just Konica 100 and nothing else? I'm looking for a list of papers to share and I'll post a link if I find a good one. I have a list for after 1976 I think but not pre 1970.
Most any workplace that has a scanner made in the last few years could do a good scan.

See if there are any negatives for it.

That helps and I'll see what I can find as far as samples and lists. The color degradation looks right to me. Prior to about 1976 or so the photo's discolored and faded badly if not kept away from light. You should keep it in a envelope to keep light out.

I think you are misunderstanding the role of Skeptic. We look for proof while giving every new thing the benefit of the doubt until it can be ruled out as a hoax or mistaken identity. Skeptics actually want to find the real thing. You have to start with no opinion and proceed from there.
