Nick Roesler, MUFON photographer and author of "In Focus: Photographic Evidence of Unconventional Flying Objects", is Host David Twichell's guest this month.

Roesler discusses how an expert tells if a photo or video is a hoax, a misidentification, or genuine. He also talks about vintage photographs of UFOs, taken before the advent of computers, which have stood the test of time.
