One day I was at the flea market and came across a vendor selling a box of old 8 mm films...I browsed through the box and found a can labeled "JFK assasination/funeral-1963" It was a very hot day and I suddenly got a chill down my spine. I fantasized that I had stumbled upon the missing link of the JFK puzzle...a missing film from the grassy knowl that perhaps could shine some light on the mystery? I purchased the entire box of films and rushed home to set up my old 8mm projector. My heart skipped a beat when images of 1963 flickered on my apartment wall. I soon discovered that whoever originally filmed this was not on the grassy knowl but home watching television and felt so compelled by what they were seeing that they filmed the broadcast as it was happening. The entire footage was just under 13 minutes of what was playing on the tube. I was surprised at how clear it was because I know from experience that filming a tv image usually gets distorted beyond recoginition. There was "man on the street" interviews and archive footage the way it was presented back in pre-digital days. I was especially intrigued with some pictures of what looks like security guards or police officers in the background. I recently captured the footage on my computer and took some still images from it and compiled a short slide show to share with the YouTube society in case someone else out there was interested in seeing some footage that was most likely never before broadcast again and somehow saved over all these years in a small can sitting in a box for who knows how long. There was no sound because it was the days before super 8 film and I've added a Moby song to the slide show for effect. If anyone "needs" a copy of the complete film in it's entirety I could make it available for the cost of a blank DVD and shipping. I just want to get it out there for others to analize to see if it maybe contains any clues to what really happened on that fatefull day.

  • WAT SONG IS THAT ITZ DOPE

  • Glad you liked it.

    It's from the Moby CD where he's dressed up in a space suit on the cover and one of the mainstream hits was something like "we are all made of stars".....I think it was track 6 or 7 but don't remember which one.

  • @cdddraftsman Not the worst but definitely not one of the best. He did very well with The Cuban Missile Crisisbut screwed up just about everything else along with his own missile crisis.

  • @TonyBananas101 have you gone bananas ? Oswald was captured within hours that is why networks had pictures of him, he also shot a policeman.

  • Can you transfer this to a dvd? I don't have an 8mm but I would be happy to buy the jfk footage from you.

  • How did all the networks have photos of Lee Harvey Oswald to distribute within hours of the assassination? This is 1963, not today when you just have to search Facebook or MySpace. Oh, that's right he worked for the secret services.

  • time for the truth blow up the book depository

  • @davcat76 "The casket was never opened in public"

    He was never killed. He went back working in Moscow for the KGB ....

  • @cdddraftsman I find your loser comments everywhere. You should have died while you were in the Army! Too bad a bullet didn't find you!

  • Actually, it is a picture of him on a stretcher after back surgery. The casket was never opened in public (only to Jackie and Bobby)

  • WTF???
