reminds me of a scene from one of the wizardry books by rick cook. they fly a dragon over the atlantic (IIRC) and the pentagon gets some shots of it. it's obviously a picture of a dragon. so the top brass have the interns "enhance" the picture until it's possible to see it as a very bad shot of a soviet spy plane.
