"and of course he doesn't have a hard copy of the fantastic piture he has claimed to have seen..."

Not to defend the UFO claims, but he did explain why he couldn't save the pictures. Since he was using remote desktop, images/icons/bars don't load individually... the entire screen streams and the only way to save the stream is using by either video capture device or by using the screen shot tool. Pain in the ass... and back then it must be really hard. If I were him, and he is telling the truth, then I would do the screen shot at least.

I do remote desktop all the time and trust me, it is very frustating even with a broadband connection. In fact, today I almost lost a database backup file while transferring it from one computer to another.
