Fine, send away the original, but first make a copies and release those. I suspect private individuals would have it enhanced faster than some government contract lab, speeking as one who works for a government contracter.
Even a dot would show the flash of an explosion..probably. It we get the fire and smoke before the tail falls off, we then look for the source of the explosion, if the smoke and fire comes after the tail falls off, then we are back to trying to figure out why the tail fell off. Causality if a beautiful thing.
Better log off, I'm getting punchy.. 'course that should be "copies" not "a copies" and "speaking" rather than "speeking. Sorry 'bout that.
