John Ball's $100,000 Challenge:
The following letter was returned by Canada Post, marked "Return to Sender,
Unclaimed."
Humanities Centre 3-5,
Mr. John Ball,
Re: Aerial Photographs and Offer of Reward
Dear Mr. Ball,
I have recently come across your webpage at
http://www.air-photo.com/summary.html
which, at the date of this letter, contains the following offer:
$100,000 Reward
To Have Three Air Photo Experts Agree That:
1. The 3D Maps are not accurate copies of the air photos; or
NOTE: Each expert has to submit a written report with conclusions. The three
experts each need to state that one of the above two statements are true. The air
photo expertâs qualifications need approval by those seeking the reward, and
by the author.
Before I can entertain your offer, I would be grateful for some
clarification of its terms. First, what are the minimum
credentials or accreditation that you would accept for someone to
qualify as an "air photo expert"?
Second, is it absolutely necessary that the experts be aerial photography
experts? If the question is whether the August 25, 1944 photograph has been
tampered with, I would suggest that any qualified photographic analyst would serve
to verify whether there had been tampering.
Lastly, what assurances are you prepared to give that you will
pay the reward? Will the reward be held in escrow once three
nominees have been accepted? I am certain that you can appreciate
that substantial expenses will be incurred in having three aerial
photography analysts travel to Washington to examine the original
photographs, reels, and plates, not to mention the expense of
their accommodation and fees. One would like some assurance that
at least the costs entailed by the research can be recovered should you prove
to be wrong either in your assertions or in your 3D renderings.
In closing, I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest
convenience, and I remain,
Yours truly,
JM/--
