Steve, I'm afraid that a photo like that constitutes no evidence at all. It might have been done with the old Photoshop software, kids can do it with modern AIs.
Even Videos, alas, are no more of any evidence. They carry no degree of reliability at all. Nowadays, AI programs can build up any image, any video you wish., It's enough to give instructions and reiterate until you obtain what you wish.
If that is true, why read anything? We are living in a land of make believe anyhow. All information is suspect. I myself may be your fantasy. Not real. Just a fiction of your imagination. Sounds like a story in wonderland.
I think if you watched a whole season of ‘Ancient Aliens’ you may have a different perspective mccoy. Top experts are brought in and interviewed and the exploration of such wonders are delved into all over the world. There is a lot of consensus about such phenomena.
Scientists often have a predisposition of skepticism which interferes with their perspective to the extent that they will believe nothing but what their own senses can validate and replicate. Even then if it interferes with their preconceptions of how reality functions and how mainstream science sees a world view it is very difficult for them to see beyond such habitual ways of thinking.
