Now! Moving gently on from the above distractions formed of nothing but hot air...
There has been an
interesting development! Over on the Photographs/Films section of this Forum,
Mr Hackerott has reported on his viewing of the Darnell film in the Sixth Floor Museum.
He says this
clearer version of the film shows something that is not evident in the versions we have been working with:
There is a
vertical dark line visible under PrayerPerson's face. And this line is visible against what is an
obvious light background.
I have found, in the best publically available version of the film,
one frame that shows this line which Mr Hackerott says is evident across multiple frames-----------------
-----------------and Mr Hackerott has confirmed that this is the line he is talking about.
Now!I believe this may well be a game-changer in the discussion, for the simple reason that (and I hasten to add that this is
my take rather than the estimable Mr Hackerott's!) this line---------------
and its relationship to PrayerPerson's hands-----------------looks very much like a
bottle.
Could PrayerPersonInDarnell be the Coke-sipping Mr Oswald after all?
