Hi all! I have a question that I hope one of you can answer. I belong to a ufology based forum called Openmindsforum.com. I am a co/Administrator of the site. We investigate Ufo sightings and share ideas and theories. We currently have over 2200 members from many different countries around the world.
Our research team has been investigating the "California Drone" saga. Here is a brief description of the saga.

There has been no conclusive evidence to claim this Drone saga as either real or fake. Our research team hired some Private Investigators to help locate the submitter of the photos. The story made the front page of the LA Times.
LA Times
Since that story broke, our team has received many emails from people. One was extra interesting. A man named Jim claimed to have seen one of these Drone craft in a behind the scenes DVD of the Star Trek Christie's Auction held in Oct of 2006. Here is an excerpt from that email.
"OK then, here is how I know it's all a hoax:
On Oct. 7, 2006 there was a Star Trek auction held by Christie's auction house.
Many Star Trek props, ship models, and scenery were put up for auction.
There was additional (hard to find) behind the scene footage of the selection process for deciding which ship models would be listed in the auction. One ship model not selected for the auction list:
A never used "futuristic Klingon timeship" or what is now being called "Chad's drone."
Since then, Chad's drone and other similar evolving "drones" have been fraudulently perpetrated all over the Internet.
I watched a Star Trek documentary on TV Feb. 2007 as an auction worker in the Paramount warehouse held that very physical ship model in his hands and gave the viewers background info on that particular ship model and said it was one of the physical ship models
(not computer generated) made for an episode for the next, last season of the last Star Trek series "Enterprise."
Here is a link to the thread at our forum that discusses this email.
My question to your forum is this. Do any of you have or know someone that has the catalog from the Christie's Auction? There were two versions:

My question to your forum is this. Do any of you have or know someone that has the catalog from the Christie's Auction? There were two versions:
- A set which includes only the two volumes in paperback, sold for US$90 before the auction and US$60 after.
- A "Special Limited Edition Boxed Set" in which the volumes are hardcover and inside a slipcase. This edition also includes a ten-minute DVD with behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with Michael and Denise Okuda, Robert Blackman, Michael Westmore, and Rod Roddenberry. It is sold for US$500.
