The guy who took the pic and his pic were on "Larry King Live" a few weeks ago, and there were debunkers who could reproduce the pic. Larry King did not seem to be too impressed, and since then, the guy and the pic seem to have disappeared, although the guy did say that the pic was a still shot of a more impressive moving shoot.

Then why on earth wouldn't he show the "more impressive moving shot"?
My guess is that the station did not want to start a riot over something which the station already investigated and concluded to be a hoax: it just wanted to reap the rewards of the spin. As you know, especially the channels which we hope to trust on such topics as history and science are not being forthcoming with the whole truth about fringe subjects or even mainstream subjects for that matter.

Which is something that should be kept in mind when viewing any photos or videos these days, as so many things can be altered or fabricated to suit a purpose. Check your sources, and check your sources sources, and don't believe everything see and hear just right off that bat. Unless it is on Wikipedia. We know everything on there is 100% accurate and unchangeable.

Elexina: You are being sarcastic about Wikipedia, but I suspect that a good 30% of those who use Wikipedia are not aware that info there may very well be inaccurate and changeable, that is, unreliable.
