Landers, California, credit and date in dispute. Provenance: Considered a hoax. Accordingly, El Disco obtained a 60's style Polaroid print from a Mr. Plowman, who claims to have obtained the photo directly from the photographer [unknown] while at the 1997 International UFO Congress in Laughlin Nevada. According to Mr. Plowman, "the photo is a gag relating back to the whole affair here and at Giant Rock down the road a while back in the 60's where some guy [George Van Tassel] who built the Integratron was wooing rich folks into the desert and charging large sums of money to bring them into contact with the UFO aliens around at the time."

Partagas Polaroids are a series of drawings executed onto Polaroid photographs, often as they were still developing, from 1987-1992. The group fit nicely into Partagas cigar tins and remained there for many years, if not since.
