Dear Mr. Mantle,

My name is Garry Burton and have always had an interest in UFO's and the unexplained in general. I have had a long standing hobby interest in technical photography (being an electronics technician by trade) and do feel the the AA footage is worth a more in depth look. I would like to acquire a digital or possibly betacam copy of the raw AA footage for enhancement. This should also include any footage of the wreckage. I have some VERY sophisticated software for image enhancement that would allow a much more detailed look at parts of the film.

I would grateful if you could be of some help. Perhaps you could point me in the right direction. The attached files were enhanced using the FOX network broadcast of the film in the USA. This was recorded on a regular VCR and then captured in MPEG2 format before processing. I could easily get 2 to 4 times as much detail by using a Betacam format that I can have converted direct to digital, or one that has already been converted. Please let me know if you could be of some help in locating such a copy.
Thank you!

Regards

Garry Burton
