The pictures on Richard Hoagland's 'Enterprise Mission' website of ABYDOS are Ruth & Harry Hover's...not Richard Hoagland's. The clear one is my own graphic clean-up of the Hover's second photo. Here is what happened:

The Hovers took two photos at ABYDOS, one of which shows the ceiling and pillars, plus the panel. It has good focus, and exposure, but is taken some distance back.

The second picture is a close-up with good focus & exposure but she moved the camera up and to the right, causing a ghost-like shadow. They asked me if I could remove this flaw, and I said I could, using the good picture as a reference.

Now, the next part is very inportant. I made several mistakes by removing icons from this photo. It was a judgement call on my part, and the ABYDOS site caught this right away. They thought I had created a HOAX but that was certainly not the case...it was just an 'over clean-up' of a legitimate photo.

A well-known UFO researcher posted these photos on the internet without permisson from either of us quite some time ago. We had forgoten this until the FOX special. After the show, I went to Richard Hoagland's 'Enterprise Mission' website and I was stunned to find our picture there.

Mr. Hoagland has been caught in a big one this time.

Yours truly,
