[Somewhat OT] Extra-terrestrials and 1980's printers

[J. Peterson]

Here's an odd one for you:

Coast To Coast AM (UFOs, Ghosts, ETs etc.) has been running a story 
about strange spacecraft buzzing around (where else?) 
California.  Recently somebody claimed to have spent the 1980's 
working at a secret lab in Palo Alto trying to "commercialize" the 
extra-terrestrial technology:

Now, veracity-wise, these photos and "documents" have problems:

- Nobody is coming forward and identifying themselves.

- In the top-left and top-right photos, if the camera exposed the sky 
for a neutral blue, the underside of the craft would be very 
under-exposed (almost black) like the middle photo and the underside 
of the leaves and power pole.

- If the lab was as secure as the author claims it is, "TOP SECRET" 
or somesuch classification would be clearly stamped on every(!) page.

- The final problem is with the look of the documents.  While there 
are some nice touches (three-hole punch marks on the cover...remember 
those ubiquitous binders?) the documents have nice fonts and 
formatting, and look laser-printed.

Now, in 1986, the number of systems available capable of producing 
such documents "in house" was fairly limited.  You did have the 
LaserWriter, but it had just come out and the document doesn't look 
like it's using one of the original LW fonts.  The other options were 
Scribe, TeX, Xerox, maybe InterLeaf...and not much else.  Integrating 
a digital photo into a document was a royal pain back then, and 
scanners were still exotic equipment.

I'm curious - does anybody recognize which system produced the 
documents?  I'd be impressed if hoaxers went to the trouble of 
tracking down vintage equipment to produce them.

Overall the story the web page tells is pretty entertaining.  One 
wonders if this is a viral marketing campaign for a sci-fi movie next year.

Cheers,
