Bullet hole in windshield on JFK's Limo

[Charles Collins]

The "starburst" which is just over JFK's left shoulder in Altgens' #6 is some part of what the woman red-circled here is holding or some part of her clothing:



This is what she looks like in Croft's photo:

Thanks, I tend to agree with this interpretation.

If it is a starburst effect caused by the aperture of the camera, then it might appear to you to be in front of JFK’s shoulder. After all the camera aperture is between the film and JFK’s shoulder.

...and yet it is in the same position as the bullet impact that we see in the following Altgens photo, taken as the limo moves away. It has the same shape too! What are the odds of such a coincidence?!

Similar is not the same as same. There are a lot of intriguing coincidences in the investigation. Something looked at as closely and as long as this case has been is bound to have some coincidences.

First of all, the Altgens 7 mark does not really have the same shape as the Altgens 6 "mark".  Also, coincidence can be argued both ways:you must conclude that it is just a coincidence that the "starburst" appears to be bounded on the left in Altgens 6 by the mirror and below by JFK's shoulder and just happens to be in the area where the lady holding a whole bunch of things is standing.

This is just too close to be just a coincidence of form... in exactly the same place.

The lady’s purse is in exactly the same place.  It can also be seen in Croft’s photo.  What a “coincidence”….

And yet that light zone is in front of JFK's shoulder:

I already explained how the starburst effect is caused by the aperture in the camera. And even that isn’t apparent in some of the available copies of Altgens 6.
