Hi all!

I did some quick shadow comparson on the video. The sun was extremely
high.....maybe within 7 degrees of vertical. Anyone else???
The video I posted should the subject sweeping the sun which confirms it
was extremely high in the sky.
I would tend to this that video was not faked.....if it was the same
event. But for some reason, which does not suprize me, the 5 pm time is
WAY OFF if that is the local time given! Thus the reason to us
Universal Standard Time. Sigh...

Jim
