BTW, WhiskyJoe, the animation you linked to is the animation filmed at a 
"considerable angle" and now wholly disowned by Myers. He claims the 
producers of Beyond the Magic Bullet were out of line putting a 10 degree 
line atop his distorted images. I say the fact that the proper trajectory 
"works" on his animation when it is distorted can be taken as a clue that 
it doesn't work when the images are not distorted. He says that drawing 
any conclusions on his animation based upon 2D lines drawn atop his 
animation, goes against the cardinal rule of photogrammetry etc.

I think he's blowing smoke. In his most recent attack/defense he claims 
that the distortion of the animation used in Beyond the Magic Bullet is 
"self-evident." He thinks he's putting me down. Now...honesty time. Is it 
obvious to you that the figures and positions of Kennedy and Connally at 
that youtube link are distorted from being filmed at a "considerable 
angle"? Does it not seem that the close-up shots are filmed pretty much 
straight-on?
