The video I inserted here April 18th recounting alleged alien abductions and included photos of UFOs being chased by aircraft has a history, one indicating fraud of a blatant kind.
Our pal, Martin Black, quick to catch such things, offers the following to correct the video and the story.
I thank him for his diligence in finding and supplying a corrective to the oblique episode(s).
What Martin discovered:
Here's a statement by Sosa who originally
supported the case: https://www-ovnispain-com.translate.goog/foro-ufologia/libros/el-caso-amaury-rivera/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp
Preston Dennett writes the following in his book
_UFOs and Aliens_:
>One of the most famous examples of this kind
occurred on May 8, 1988, when Puerto Rican hotdog vendor Amaury
Rivera claimed to have been abducted by E.T.s. In support of his
story, he produced several clear photographs of a UFO being chased by a Navy
F-14 Tomcat jet fighter. The case electrified the UFO
community, and the story and photos were widely published.
>A few months later, however, the truth was
revealed. Wilson Sosa, the lead investigator who had originally supported
the case, now declared that it was a hoax. It turned out that
inconsistencies in the photographs (including shadows and other technical
details) revealed that Amaury Rivera, who had sold his photos for
thou- sands of dollars to various media outlets, had actually faked the
entire incident using models. Professional photographer Manuel Fernandez
also analyzed the photos and agreed that they were hoaxed.
Writes Fernandez, “The photos are false and two small models were
utilized to make them.”
