Then went outside to watch P. parade ( Parts 1 & 2 )

Hmmm............

Given the way the flag is flapping, it appears to be attached to something on its right (i.e. west) side.

And given that we have just seen---------a mere couple of seconds earlier in Hughes-----------the black man down by the white west column raise an empty left hand to wave at P. Parade:



:  it appears the only person who can possibly be waving this flag is the white man in the reddish shirt standing directly behind that black man

I was wrong to dismiss, as film noise, the flickering over the head of this woman:



It is indeed a handkerchief or scarf. However, it is nowhere near in the right position to account for the sizeable flapping object in Towner which we have been talking about.

From young Ms. Towner's position, well to the east of Mr. Bell, the woman waving the handkerchief/scarf is all but blocked by the old woman in blue. She is waving her right arm left and right, and we get a glimpse of this in Towner. And Towner also catches, over the head of the old woman in blue, a tiny bit of the flickering of the handkerchief/scarf:



The sizeable flapping object in Towner is NOT from anything out in the street. It is in the doorway, in the most interesting spot imaginable:

Having a much better sense now of the modest dimensions of the sizeable object in the doorway---------------



---------------we can, I think, safely say that it is a lot too small to be either of these:



It seems to be just a regular-sized flag, of the sort that lots of folks turned up with at Love Field and along the P. Parade route.

But the man waving it was far from just a regular spectator of the P. Parade. Mr. Oswald was up to something.

So, to the merchants of 'Nothing To See Here', I have a simple challenge:
Show me where I have gone wrong in this matter.

Do YOU have ANY alternative suggestion for

a) what the sizeable flapping object is (if not a flag)?
b) where it is (if not in the doorway)?
c) who is waving it (if not the man in the reddish shirt we have just seen in Hughes)?



If my analysis is off, then it should be the easiest thing in the world to debunk it, right?

This is not a coat blowing in the wind---------------it remains in this position across multiple frames:



And look at the distance from the bottom of it to the woman's legs:



What do YOU think it is? The trunk of a little tree? A cape made of plastic?
