For the last year I have been working on my new book. It is now published and available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and other Internet sites.
It is also available in most stores in the US, Canada, Great Britain, and many parts of Europe.
It is titled, "UFOs Caught on Film," and is meant to be a reference guide to UFO students. It is hardback, and has over 85 color and black and white photographs, with full explanations. I hope you will check it out.

Billy,

A new book? Congratulations!
Concerning pages 10-11: “The oldest UFO photograph ever taken.”
The stereoscopic photograph reproduced on page 11 is most definitely not of a cloud formation with a cigar-shaped object in the foreground. According to Clough & Kimball’s documentation sheet (verso), the photo is titled “FROST ARCHITECTURE” (photo No. 17 from “Views taken on the summit of Mt. Washington during the winter of 1870-71 by Clough & Kimball, Concord, N.H.”). The cigar-shaped object is a small object, perhaps a folded measuring instrument, placed on the frost-work to provide a scale of reference. The photographers found and photographed delicate and exquisite wind-sculpted frost-works on Mt. Washington, which covered all exposed objects with a thickness of up to two feet.
The originals are currently held at the New York Public Library. The catalog call number is MFY Dennis Coll 91-F31. Prints can be ordered from the library.

good idea, pics from the past were much harder to fake and everyone loves a good UFO pic from the past, I bet the book sells well
I should add that when I stated that the originals of the Clough & Kimball stereograph of the frost atop Mt. Washington is being held in the at the New York Public Library (Robert N. Dennis Collection of Stereoscopic Views), I am referring to prints made from the original glass plate. I have no information concerning the status of the original glass photographic plates. A great many of glass plates produced in the pre-celluloid era of photography have been lost, with prints made from the first generation images that is all that remains of those early photographers work.
Samuel M. Sherman, president of the Independent-International Pictures Corp., may indeed have purchased a Clough & Kimball stereograph print made from the original glass plate.
