Furrows in the grass

[Lee Forman]

It was the one in the corner that first caught my eye while watching the z-film, because he moves too much.

Here's a poor animation I did some time ago, using the Warren Report print of the frame, compared with the AB Smith version and Costella I think. I can do much better now.

Robin and Lee,

I was just curious about that frame Robin posted. I was checking what frames of the Hughes film I had and I found the following. I'm not sure if it's the exact same frame as your's but I noticed this curious item which I have circled. It does not appear to be in the frame Robin posted.

Any ideas?

That one looks nicely blocked open to give the spotter about 8 inches of open window.

The bright round lens is a big support to Lee's whole theory, looks like a tripod telescope type thing, a 200 mm. thing.

James,

I will look into it. I think it's interesting to note that the Culligan scenario, as per the Hulet Paper, does not have the sniper located in the farthest west window.

Shanet - it was suggested to me that this light may be a dangling lightbulb, suspended from the ceiling. I think this object, which I still believe is a lens, is much closer to the window. It also moves independently. Also, if we are looking up at the window, and viewing a lightbulb, then logic says we would see the same light from a different perspective - especially if it was taken at a more-or-less similar altitude.

Bell seems to imply, IMO, that it isn't a lightbulb . The Bray document says 2 films from the TSBD.

Thanks James.

That frame makes the light spot even clearer than the frame i posted.

Lee.

In the WC images of the far west window on the 5th floor showing the 3 boys it doesn't show any dangling light globes swinging in front of the window, i am sure that lights were all fixed to the ceiling.

In this image note the light shade is fixed to the ceiling.

That is very interesting indeed. It looks like it extends beyond the vertical surface of the exterior of the building.

Another curious not.

Look at the two windows on the extreme west side of the sixth floor. Both of them are open.

Now compare them with the beginning of the Alyea film here:

The easternmost of the two windows is closed.

Which came first, the Hughes film or the Alyea film? If Alyea came after Highes, why would someone close that window?

Hi Steve,

I am far from an expert on the extant Dealey Plaza footage but from watching the Hughes film and given the cuts and jumps, one would have to say that this part of the film was no more than 2 minutes after the shooting.

Given that, it seems unlikely that an assassination participant would be still positioned there but as you pointed out, whatever that object is, it extends beyond the vertical surface of the exterior of the building.

Bizarre.

James
