SPOILER WARNING - Spotted inconsistency with game
It asks you for the location of where Moore shot the photo of the supposed UFO and it makes you select from the ping report.

However the legend on the ping report specifically states that it was on a completely different day but FDI and the game itself accepts that location as the answer when the nearest time ping location was selected on the report.
Not sure if this is planned but it seems incorrect...

I thought the same thing, but here's a possible explanation (spoiler from later in the game): They note that they took a replacement photo when the rain stopped several days later. It's possible that when they replaced the original photograph, they somehow remembered to use the original time but not the original date.

It may also be an oversight, it struck me as odd as well.
As the other comment stated, this is explained some evidence you find later. The woman was out hiking and stumbled across the graveyard. She was captured and experimented on with the memory drugs to create false memories of the event. In some notes you find later the organization that kidnapped her say they waited a few days to recreate the weather conditions of the day of the abduction and took a replacement photo with a fake UFO. Presumably they took it at the same time of day as the real original photo to avoid any discrepancies in the angle of the sun.

That being said, them going through all this effort while apparently forgetting about the photo's metadata is arguably a plot hole. It is also a bit unclear why they even went through all this trouble instead of just disappearing her like all the other people. I guess they wanted to see if their brainwashing would hold up in the real world, also maybe they want her to spread the idea of alien abductions to distract from the real conspiracy. The story has a few of those issues where the motives of the evil conspiracy are very unclear. Like why they would redact a single name from the list in the first case but not just destroy the evidence entirely given how critical it is to their conspiracy.

There is no inconsistency.

The guy asks "where did she SUPPOSEDLY take the picture?"

So you show him where she thinks she was when she took it. At that point everyone involved knows it's not a real picture. He just needs to go there to see what might've happened to her when she actually got there at that time.

The reason why the fake happens to be around the same time, is most likely because they were trying to make a visually believable image that looks like it occurred during the same period of the day, with the same weather conditions. This is also explained in their notes.

Apparently they forgot about erasing meta-data from the images so the time and date couldn't be checked.
