    Dear Bruce:

    You have used a copy of the photograph of a girl showing an
    anomalous image in a videotape that you are distributing among
    the proponents of the Gulf Breeze affair and that have been
    sold to other interested parties.

    Please be advised that said photograph and its derivatives have
    been copyrighted by the UNICAT Project, and that its use without
    previous authorization is in violation of the copyright law.
    Following the advise (sic) of my attorney, I am writing to you
    to request the complete list of the recipients of your video
    production.

    The photo is identified by the mark "Photo 22" and my records
    show that it was send (sic) confidence to Mr. Richard Hall in
    January, 1989. In order to determine if a breach of trust has
    occurred, I would like to have you version of how you obtained
    those photos.

    The videotape that you have produced is not a scientific analysis
    of the photos based on the facts, but a propaganda attempt to
    discredit what you correctly perceive as a serious threat to the
    validity of the Gulf Breeze alledged UFOs. I understand your
    motivations, but I can't condone your systematic distortion of
    the truth.



    c.c. Richard Hall
    Zan Overall
    Walt Andrus
