Nope, the emulsion number would show the date is impossible. I can't shoot an image from 1999 on film manufactured in 2012. Anyone that is in the business would quickly know it is fake.
Even with the CIA and the FBI, Tom Cruse and the Mission Impossible Team and all the other tin foil hat folks working together, I don't think they could fool a small company like ours. The ground changes a LOT in populated areas. Not so much in the middle of nowhere.
One of the times that it came up was a flight we did for a company that does seismic work. They have huge heavy and wide trucks. We photographed the area before they set foot on the property. After when they were done we flew it again. They knew that property owner loved to sue. They wanted CYA proof.
Sure enough the property owner sued them because they had "destroyed the family heirloom peach orchard, and cause horrible erosion". The company pulled out the photographs that we took before they arrived. That shut them down, but the property owner insisted that we prove the date they were shot. He spent a lot of money trying to prove the images were faked. We had the film in a can ready for an expert. When the expert mentioned we had the original film to the opposing attorney the attorney convinced the property owner to give up, we had the truth on film. It saved our client millions, and the property owner had to pay all the legal fees.
