And by "rubbish", do you mean the period anchor they lifted off the seabed?

I'd rather watch that than an auto-da-fé on this site. Looks like Los Inquisidores are busy preparing the sanbenito and capirote.

Blimey, when I criticised modern "documentary" techniques, I wasn't expecting some sort of Spanish Inquisition...

Meaningless. They weren't the NRO.

Probably no other result of the MA-9 mission excited more interest than Cooper's claim to have seen from orbit objects on the ground as small as trucks and houses.
Useless without the ability to geolocate.

AS09 images were captured in March 1969 during Apollo 9 when Cooper was still with NASA...
So are you going to base your assertion from a few photos from one flight.

...he likely still had contacts within NASA during Skylab in 1973-1974.
No, he was out of NASA and a civilian.

It's being reported that Discovery Channel have made the decision to green light Season 2 of Cooper's Treasure.

I still agree with Jim Oberg's take on all this; as stated in his comment posted on the Deadline piece.

The fact that this got renewed reflects poorly on the intellect of the American TV viewers.
