I still think taking images from telescopes, like the Keck II, would not only show the Zeta people there's nothing out there, but it would also indicate to the curious public that the astronomical society has nothing to hide and data is available for all to see. With the rapidly increasing weather extremes occuring worldwide, I for one would like to see data (raw data) rather than being assured by someone who claims to know better. Mankind has a long history of misleading others for various reasons.

Question:
Who out there, with access to large telescopes, would be interested in showing these Zeta Kooks the ropes?
