  1. Appreciate the concern but we got it covered. I have a real sharp metallurgist out of Albany OR who I’ve been working with to do just that. Interesting thing is he independently arrived at milton and when I told him he’s like yeah that’s who I’ve been looking at too. We have a pretty good idea of what’s what on the EDS but it’s not an exact science…it’s really easy to misinterpret things if you don’t have images. The great thing for us is Tom is armed with this new scope so we’ll know by looking at it if it is what it reads on the analysis. Tom did some cursory work right after the McCrone test and identified some of the anomaly particles as well but that was with a much older scope then what he has now. The clarity and vision with his new scope is like night and day he says. Tom seemed pretty excited about the prospects. Let’s test it and see what it tells us you can never have enough information. Hey if it turns out that there’s a bunch of particles on his badge that don’t match any of the stubs taken from the tie well then maybe it’s time to reevaluate. Thanks for the advice but I’ll continue to work under the tutelage of metallurgists and scientists they’ll know best what controls are required not some two bit musician.
  2. Tom is waiting on a part for his new electron microscope that’s on back order from oversees so he can examine the three TiSb particles individually. We also have to work badges for Milton that Tom is going to take a look at that appear to have particles on them. Here is one from his time at midland.
  3. That could be but so far you are the only one that has an issue with Miltons appearance vs the witness testimony. Everyone else seems to agree there’s a strong likeness. So much so that gasps could be heard through out kiggins theatre when his picture was put up on the screen. It also could be that you are seeing what you want to see and not what’s there. What makes you the determining factor on how miltons appearance would have witnesses describing him as? Are you some kind of facial recognition expert or something? It’s totally subjective. I think the problem is you’ve been married to what’s now looking like a very possibly wrong guesstimation by witnesses on coopers ethnicity being Latin/Native American and you’re having a hard time coming to grips with it.
  4. Swarthy is literally how they described dark Norwegians.
  5. Milton’s is 100% Norwegian and is what they call a dark Norwegian… like Keith Larsen who was a Norwegian actor that portrayed Native Americans in movies. Since Norwegians are not as commonly known as being swarthy/dark like Latinos, Native Americans, Mediterranean ect… I’m sure it would of been common for this subset to get misidentified for a Latino or a Native American.
  6. It’s zero degrees here in the couve tonight Jerry boi!
  7. You’ve done some good sleuthing on the tie Fly, I know you originally had an earlier timeline for it what changed?
  8. Sprague, just as Crucible had lots of successful patents and also unsuccessful TiSb patents, Sprague was successful with producing capacitors in Worcester MA and Concird NH that even went on Apollo 11, but not these TiSb capacitors.
  9. Jerry are you off your meds again? chill. I went through Sprague Electric with a fine tooth comb and their TiSb capacitor patent and couldn't develop any leads to aerospace, the PNW, etc. and never any commercial application for it. So no he wasn’t a radio repairman :)
  10. One of only two with sprague electric.
  11. Me and EU have completely different suspects. I did assist Eric early on by providing him with a contact of an individual that worked at the research division of rem-cru @ Robinson in Pitt where he is convinced cooper worked. My research pointed away from the research division being the sourced for the Ti-Antimony (TiSb) as I’ve come to better understand the history of titanium and it’s alloys… so he went one direction with his investigation (Rem-Cru Research Div) and I went another.
  12. I have indeed dropped Klansnic. He was a hell of a candidate and an integral part of my journey in the vortex. I definitely wouldn’t be where I’m at today on the cusp of closing NORJAK if it wasn’t for him. He was instrumental in keeping my interest in the case alive and honing my investigatory skills. Raising a martini one olive on the rocks, I bid you farewell Ed. A truly fine representation of americas greatest generation!
  13. Didn’t Goerger say he had some colleagues made a bomb following the wiring Tina described in her debrief and the thing blew up?
  14. If Cooper wanted to get to Mexico he could have changed the flight characteristics to get fuel efficiency until he got to Mexico, then he could have had the plane go to high flaps ect. Citing airports were to big was likely just a reason given to reject the suggestion. Wouldn’t cooper be concerned jumping around an area he is just leaving with cops and FBI agents buzzing around? It would of been just as hot as Reno was. What doesn’t make sense is cooper wanting to jump in mexico but then hastily aborts that plan only to jump 30 mins after takeoff from Seattle. Huh???
  15. Gregory was not closest to him for much of the flight according to Bills in his WSHM interview he didn’t move up until the plane started it’s descent to land in Seatac along with everybody else that hadn’t moved up. Gregory was incorrect about this amongst other things. Very little stock should be placed In his testimony.
  16. Yes and I talk to Larry on the Facebook group. He is admittedly not as well read on the 302’s as he should be. He was just guessing that it could still be around and saying if it’s going to be anywhere it be in Vegas. With the 302 that gave permission for destruction upon the conclusion of its examination and the fact that it never turned up in evidence despite a search in the early two thousand by a seattle case agent who’s name escapes me at the moment and then one by Larry more recently, I think we can deduce the hair was destroyed with the butts in Vegas.
  17. Already dug into this and apparently according to Larry Carr he found this hair slide in Seattle before he retired and it was that of another known individual (POI) that was sent in for comparison. To me that make sense because I couldn’t understand why coopers hair would be at the LA office to begin with.
  18. Nonsense fly what if we found a copy of this issue and or other issues of AIR TRAILS in a POI’s belongings then what? You just linked the material to a matchbook DBC had on 305. If this was a Latin American/Mexican AIR TRAILS you’d be all over it. I really think you pigeon holed yourself with this whole Spanish/Latino angle. DBC simply wasn’t of that heritage. Latino and NA were thrown out there by witnesses to help describe certain features of the UNSUB. I can quote Bill too “He looked just like a regular WHITE guy.” Nicky
  19. Hey fly is there a 302 stating two packing cards were found in the main cooper left aboard 305?
  20. It says DG inspected the chute in may. Bland says he was the first to inspect the chutes the following day on the plane in Reno.
