Important new discovery in Wiegman clear frame

The lower arrow points to an open car door. Notice shape of black area and outer left end of it.

The right arrow to someone either exiting or entering. Also, someone (possibly) a little lighter, just to the left of the exiting person.

The top arrow to the helmet of a cycle cop, who is past the open door.

What's interesting about these two frames:

In order to get the press pool car going forward, I had to switch the frame positions with each other. Checked two different versions.

Anyone know what that light/flash is, on the right side of the animation, up against the underpass?

The "white flash" is the American flag on the right front fender of the JFK limo.

It shows very plainly on my copy, which came from film, not video.

Your animation seems to show the back door opening. As for someone

exiting or entering, I think that is a rear view of a motorcop on his bike.

I don't see it on my copy.

As for switching the frames, perhaps the car was backing up, not going

forward.

When Bernice has time, she will post my clear image of the limo about

to enter the underpass. By next week I should have my new computer

and again be able to post images myself.

Robin,

I think those are cop helmets too, above the press pool car.

They appear to be farther down the street than the convertible, that is just in front of the press pool car.

The closest footage we have of this time(that I know of) is the cop on the south side of Elm, early in the Bell footage.

The cop in early Bell, could be a match for the cop in Wiegman who is past the open car door.

Also have Paschall, but she only shows the press pool car as it races past the cycle which is between the concrete pillars.

Jack,

Not the limo flag, but higher up the embankment. (Photo)

Sorry Chris....I misunderstood what you wrote. I have never noticed the white

spot you mention. I have no idea what it is, but will take a look.

Chris...I took a look at the white spot enlarged to huge size and altered by

adjustment of the RGB scale, and here is my opinion:

On the north side of the Elm roadway of the underpass, there is a PEDESTRIAN

SIDEWALK alongside the road. (compare with Bell and other pix). The white spot

appears to me to be THE SUNLIGHT AT THE WEST END OF THE PEDESTRIAN

TUNNEL. Check it out.

To understand the cost of your constructs, read Monty's "Ethel the Aardvark Goes Quantity Surveying".
