Yep, heard it all before. There are several people that claim to have taken the pictures, Villa being the most outspoken.

As for the "clearer" picture you posted, that is a picture taken of the picture I had done to gain negatives back in 1979. That was one of the prints from those negatives that I scanned and posted to a website several years ago.

The pictures I have posted are the originals. It took my sister years to recover them from the government, they would not return the negatives.

Did you think about the last two sentences of your quote when you posted them? -
" Later Villa began producing photos of flying saucers that were only small, crude models, some with rather laughable tripod landing gear that resembled nothing more than a rod with a ball at the end. The little ships appeared to be sloppily painted silver and in many of the photos, inexplicable little silver balls were shown floating around the saucer, perhaps to help conceal the wires that upheld it. "

Why would someone go backwards from producing incredible fakes to laughable ones? If you were capable of a hoax as good as what these pictures are, you then later create laughable junk pictures? The reality is that he didn't produce the so called fake pictures in 1963 but only the laughable ones later with claims that he took the first ones. Villa was a proven fraud, he also fraudulantly claimed he was responsible for my sister's pics.

I'd love to see a website with any of these pictures showing the wires or poles or whatever holding the saucer up and proving them to be fakes.

All I can tell you is what I've known for the last 39 years about the story. Believe what you want to, I know the truth. As I said in the original thread, usually quite controversial.
