- ?We can apply vectors to analyze the light we see in
the above photo. This is what I used to show an electromagnetic pulse source
was present originating from the WTC. Electromagnetic energy (in this case
visible light) it always travels in a straight line in free air. Hence,
vector principles are easily applied to this image.
-
- In the above image, I have added two blue dots. One dot
is on the body guard's fourth finger, the other dot is near the steering
wheel. You will notice that there is no apparent shadow behind either object.
This logically indicates that the main strobe light source is most likely
attached to the camera which took the picture is nearly on- axis with the
lens. Hence, no shadow is visible because the actual shadow is directly
behind each object and hidden from the camera. There is only a very slight
shadow behind the driver's right ear.
-
- Now look at the top of the image. I have added another
blue dot showing a light source on the back of the rear-view mirror. The
blue vector lines which clearly show a different vector from another light
source. Clearly, there is a dark shadow cast by the rear view mirror on
the top half of Diana's hair. This indicates that this light source came
from above.
-
- There is no shadow of the sun visor on the body guard's
face. If the shadow on Diana's hair was from the camera strobe, there would
be a shadow of the sun visor on the body guard's face as well.
- This image creates a conundrum because of the following
conditions:
-
- 1. If the camera strobe fired at the same time another
light source also fired, then ALL
- of Diana's hair would be visible. There would be no visible
shadow on Diana's hair.
-
- 2. If the second light source illuminated the vehicle
AFTER the camera strobe fired, it would not be visible because the camera
shutter would already be closed.
-
- 3. If the second light source fired BEFORE the picture
was taken, it would not be visible because the camera shutter had not opened
yet.
-
- 4. If someone doctored the image to illuminate her hair,
then why would they intentionally create a shadow which is not visible
on the other objects in the car? This is probably the key question.
-
- 5. (Right and left described here are from the driver's
point of view.) If we look closely at the driver's glasses, we see the
light source reflection is slightly brighter on the right lens than on
the left lens. Part of his right eye is obscured by the intense reflected
light on the lens of his glasses. This would appear to indicate that the
light source is coming from his right. It is probably from the camera strobe.
-
- Also strange is that the driver's expression indicates
that he didn't seem to expect the strobe light in his face, but the body
guard did. The body guard is looking right at the camera, and trying to
raise his hand to shield himself from the light but wasn't quick enough.
Apparently he was expecting photos, because it's night time and he has
the sun visor down. No one normally rides in a car at night with the visor
down. Yet the driver appears to be staring off into space, as though in
a trance. A high speed shutter was probably used since there is almost
no blurring of the image from random motion of the camera vehicle and the
car.
-
- Since the light source issue is not easily resolved,
it begs us to ask just one question - is this image a composition of TWO
different pictures? With today's image processing tools, one could not
detect this if done professionally, except for shadow differences where
are no so easily resolved.
