Re: [APML] Possible Stolen Image?

I e-mailed him and told him it was Hale-Bopp from 1997.  He's been caught.

Here's the reply from the sleaze-bag that stole this image of Hale-Bopp. I
had asked him how he got this image.

I also sent a note to Weather Underground telling them of my suspicions, but
no action from them as of yet.

On this page:
http://www.wunderground.com/wximage/viewimages.html?gallery=editorpick
is an image of a comet, it looks like Hale-Bopp to me.

The "photographer" claims it is a picture of "meteorites" taken the night of
August 11, 2004. I've sent him an email innocently asking him for more
details on how he took this image.

Anyway, I'm wondering if this image belongs to anyone here? There is a faint
silhouette of a tree on the left side of the image.

Obviously the editor who added this image to their "Approver's Choices"
doesn't know the difference between a comet and meteors or meteorites
either.

Disgustedly,
Kevin Wigell
