Must be the resolution on your screen. the video is a little dark due to nite time mode, but you should be able to see it. click on the you tube logo (lower right) and watch it straight from You Tube on a larger video/mode/screen.

I'm hoping to start putting it all together soon. it's down to a time frame thingy. I'm going to record it in 3 separate portions, and the put it together. it's seems simple, but a lot will be involved. the best known recording program is called "Fraps". this eats a little over a gigabyte per minute of uncompressed video  :o. I'm still undecided whether or not to record the entire route from Seattle to Portland with so much dead space in between the times on the transcripts. I have to get creative filling in the dead spots so nobody falls asleep  :D

The present time frame of the video would be close to an hour. that's a lot of time to make it worth watching. I'm open to any idea's from all.......

The plane is presently in Rome  :o I found a guy who paints X-Planes. he is putting the correct numbers on the plane (N467US) along with a Project 305 logo on the tail section. he's the one who made the Northwest livery you see on my plane now.

You found it pretty quick. I just posted it hours before you seen it  :o

I had a couple of thoughts to help you fill time, you might think about adding text during the empty bits updating the known activities of Cooper at the time.

Also, I've been mulling this for a long time, but I like the idea of a podcast. Once you complete and release the whole project, the visuals of the product could be used in conjunction with audio from a podcast of some of the regular forum posters. Just a thought. There is so little good Cooper content on the net (at least, content that isn't in forum form).

Thanks for the reply.

I was thinking about the dead spots as well, but filling them in isn't really an issue as much as putting the right material up. this basically turns it into a actual program vs a flight path. it's a lot of work to get everything to fall into place. this is where I will need help. I'm game for a full blown show, but it will require a lot of work.

I like the podcast thingy. would I have to put it online first, or upload it from the computer? the actual path video?

I haven't done a podcast in seven years; I used to record it on my computer then save it to the web. I'm told it would be easy enough to take existing audio and overlay it with video using widely available software, but I've never done it. The process would probably be to use an online podcasting service like blogtalkradio to create the actual podcast, then go from there.

Is that a pre-recorded podcast, or live?

I did a quick search and found this...

To Create a Video Podcast:
Film your video.
Upload your video to your computer.
Using editing software, add special effects and graphics or correct any problems in the video.
Determine whether your video will be streaming or downloadable, and use a video encoder to format it in a manageable file size for online viewing.
Find a host for your video podcast. Make sure that the host can accommodate your video's bandwidth.
If your host does not provide an RSS feed for your video podcast, create one yourself.
Lastly, promote your video podcast just as you would a podcast.
The podcasts and video podcasts you find online range from the amateur to the streamlined and sophisticated. They are a testament to the accessibility of this technology for listeners and creators alike. Anyone can -- and clearly anyone will -- podcast.

It's something to play around with while you're completing your project. I have friends who do this sort of thing for money, I'll pester them for help.

Here's where I'm going with my concern over the actual dimensions of V-23.

Rataczak told me, eventually, that he thought 305 was east of V-23 by a couple of miles when Cooper jumped. The maps say that the center of V-23 was over Battleground, and V-23 would only extend four miles to the east. Tack on a couple more miles from Rataczak and that puts 305 six or seven miles east of Battleground at 8:13. That doesn't get you into the Washougal much.

The Washougal Washdown theory is dead. It's a good example of people trying to force a conclusion based on poor interpretation of a small amount of evidence, then going through endless mental gymnastics to try to prove it.

Let's say he is accurate ? Then what does he mean by "east of V-23".  Is he saying 'east of the center line of V23', or 'east of the 4 mile boundary on the east side of V23'?  If it's the first then he is still inside the boundaries of V23. If it's the last then he is outside of V23, but still not in the Washougal.

He has made the remark: "I am the only living person who knows where we were when Cooper bailed". That remark is on record.

You do realise if Blevins is right then Rataczak had-has ptsd and all of his testimony is suspect ... based on Gray's quotes from Hancock, saying that Rat was "freaking out in the cockpit".   :D

Just because Rataczak lot a little emotional in the cockpit, doesn't mean that we have to THROW out everything he said.

The only question I have it - can we believe him? What other pressures may be in play here.

When I read Vincent Bugliosi's book on the JFK assassination, one of the chapters on conspiracy theories talked about how many of the people with conspiracy theories told entirely different stories right after the assassination and didn't change those stories until years and years later.

Didn't the FBI talk to Rataczak right after they landed in Reno?   Wouldn't they have used that information to determine what area to search?  I think there's good reason to believe the search area was wrong (mostly because they didn't find anything in the search area and Tina Bar was far from the search area), but Rataczak's remark years later sounds like someone teasing the press.
