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

The above stabilized frames from Towner put it beyond question that the movement of Red Shirt Man's body corresponds to the movement of the object he's waving.

But---------------to return to a question posed by Mr. Mason----------------how come we cannot see Red Shirt Man's head?

It seems unlikely that his head is fully shadowed by the western column. Though further cross-referencing with the momentary shadowing of his head in Hughes is needed to rule this out definitively. Certainly half of his body (the western half) appears to be in natural shadow, so might he possibly have his head tilted west during the Towner frames?

Absent that natural explanation, we have the possibility that his head has simply been blacked out by the 'investigators'.

There may, however, be a third possibility, and it's a startling one:

What if we are in fact seeing the back of Red Shirt Man's head? That is to say, what if Red Shirt Man (a.k.a. Mr. Oswald) has turned his back on the motorcade-------------as part of his staged 'protest'?

It is certainly striking that, even when he leans east (viewer's right) to pump the flag at a lower elevation, all we see is red---------no white tshirt, as one would expect given that he has at least several buttons of his shirt open. The only light color we see in that area belongs to the raised left sleeve of the black gentleman in front.

Has Mr. Oswald turned his back on the P. Parade, such that he is now pumping the flag with his right arm?

As well as enhancing the political protest element, it would certainly offer Pres. Kennedy an unmistakable thing to look out for.

Wow----------great work, Mr. O'Meara! What keen eyes you have!

Now try actually reading the next bit of that post of mine (#2714) you've so cackhandedly tried to respond to.

This will end about as well for you as your 'It's not Lovelady it's Dougherty!' humiliation. But will you make mature use of yet another teachable moment? Fat chance

I say the pink chiefly belongs to her, because Miss Towner's POV is giving us a blend of this lady's unsleeved right forearm and that of the lady standing and waving a few feet behind her. Mr. Davidson's stabilized version of Towner allows us to see the flapping up and down of the hands (to viewer's right of the object being waved in the doorway):


Hmmm...
The raised arm of the woman in black is on the left of the object being waved (as we look at it)

[Alan Ford]

Not even close, lol.

Look at the SYNCED Bell-Towner frames in the GIF below. Use this man in khaki as your reference point:





The up-and-down flicker coming from the hand of the woman you identify is too far east of the man in khaki's head to possibly be the object we see in Towner flapping behind him.

And: the way the waving object in Towner moves is NOT in sync with the flickering movement from the woman-in-Bell's hand. The waving object in Towner moves erratically down and to its left; the lady's waving hand undergoes no such change, being a much more placid up-and-down affair. That's because they are two entirely different objects.

And: thanks to Mr. Davidson's stabilized GIF of Towner, we can see the flapping hands---------to the east (viewer's right) of Mr. Oswald's flag:



The ladies' hands line up closely because of Miss Towner's POV, from a spot well east and north of Mr. Bell.

Hmmm..seems pretty close to me.



The woman in black is frantically waving something.
The flapping object seems to be right next to the raised arm of the woman in black.



To be honest Alan, I'm not really interested in your ridiculously biased opinion.
It would be good to hear from someone else.

Apologies, Mr. O'Meara. It was inconsiderate of me to point out that these Towner-Bell frames are synced--------------

-------------without explaining to you what synced means.

I'm now going to explain to you what it means to say that these frames are synced.

It means that their clocks are synchronized. That is to say, they are simultaneous. Which is to say, they are showing the exact same moments in time.

Now that I have explained to you what synced means, you might find your way to grasping how impossible it is for the up-and-down flutter from the lady in black's hand to be responsible for the waving object shown in Towner. Once again, use the head of the man in khaki as your reference point. You will see that that lady's hand is clearly too far east to be the waving object shown in Towner. Miss Towner's POV renders such a solution quite absurd.

POV means 'point of view', by the way

The woman in black has been pointed out to you a couple of times now and you seem to accept that.
Her raised arm has also been pointed out to you a couple of times now and you seem to accept that.
Now, sit yourself down for this bit.
Her hand is on the end of her arm.
Mind blown.
She has an object in her hand she is frantically waving.
Next to where her hand is (at the end of her arm, remember) we see an object flapping about in Towner.

Good grief.

Last time we sparred in this thread, I actually had to explain to you that standing on a box can make a man appear taller than if he is standing on the floor. It took a while for you to absorb this esoteric insight, and there was much huffing and puffing from you before you finally surrendered to reality, but we got there in the end.

Now I have to explain to you how POV (= point of view) works.

Hmmm.... How to explain it in a way even you might understand?

Let's try this: We see so much more of Mr. Danny Arce behind Cowboy Man in Bell than in Towner. How can this possibly be? Have you any idea, Mr. O'Meara? That's right------it's POV. Miss Towner's POV is very different to Mr. Bell's.



Now listen up real carefully. This is the science bit....................

Given that the SYNCED Bell frames are clearly showing the fluttering coming from the lady in black's hand to be noticeably to the EAST of the head of the man in khaki's head--------



---------then there is simply no way on earth that the SYNCED Towner frames are going to show that same fluttering MUCH LESS EAST of, and in fact part of the time DIRECTLY BEHIND, the head of the man in khaki:



It's a physical impossibility.

Now, let me help you further out of the latest compound hallucination into which you've fallen.

Because of Miss Towner's POV------------which, in case you missed it last time I explained it, is DIFFERENT to Mr. Bell's-------------the lady in black standing behind the others is blocked from view by the lady in front. (If this confuses you, think of it as a more ample eclipse than the one Cowboy Man is inflicting on Mr. Danny Arce in the same Towner frames.)

You never considered this, did you? That's because you don't understand POV, isn't it?

And your inability to understand how POV works has led you, in your amateur-hour Towner IDs--------



---------to misunderstand where Lady #2 actually is in Towner, and to completely misunderstand where Lady #1 is.

If you want to stop misunderstanding where these ladies are in Towner, then use as your Bell reference points Lady #2's unsleeved, lowered left arm and her unsleeved, raised right arm:



Can you find them? Splendid! Yay you!

Now take a good close look at the synced Towner frames and see if you can find these same two arms:



Once you have found them, the rest will fall into place.

Which will leave you having to find some fresh topic on which to wade in with your kneejerk contrarian nonsense.
