James Leon Simmons.... Overpass Witness

[John Mytton]

There is not picture showing smoke, as claimed by forum member Jim Brazell.

I'm sure he is mistaking a still frame from the Weigman film for a "picture".

Regardless, there is no still frame from Weigman showing smoke, either.

Oswald's type of rifle the Italian Carcano is typical of modern firearms in that they produce little smoke and that dissipates in a couple of seconds.

(I don't have the original graphic. The red lines were aded by someone else.)

The "puff of smoke" seen in the Weigman film is just a cluster of bright fall foliage.

[Barry Pollard]

I tend to agree,
Gary Mack's own observation that the shape is "moving toward the street" came from a very low quality gif and not the the SFM's copy of the film
which he could have studied if he wanted to... and I think he was mistaken.
The camera moves so much between the two frames where "the smoke" is seen, that nothing stays the same, or still.

Looks good in that one Wiegman "limo frame" but Willis6 looks better.

Absolutely.

As for "almost," I mean within a few degrees.

Well that clears it up.   

Are you sure it wasn't actually a smidgen?

LOL

Cool, that means the smoke on the knoll didn't come from a Carcano.

Also, what did Mrs. Cabell smell, and how many seconds later was that?

[John Iacoletti]

Somebody better tell Sam Holland, Lee Bowers, Richard Dodd, and James Simmons that what they saw and smelled was fall foliage.

[Mitch Todd]

Well that clears it up.

It's just small enough an indefinite value to keep the pointlessly obtuse pointless and obtuse, apparently.
