Currently waiting for a jounalist who is in contact with nasa hq to confirm these pictures as the ones that were confiscated.

Ive removed the photos due to bad forum editing, maybe everyone doesnt want to go through a 10 page thread just to look at some photos. The start of my thread explained what the photos where. You could have just added a link to the other thread.

If you open the thread I will replace the images,
