Related: About this forumhelp on photo of JFK assn
from here, about a 1/5 down--
http://kennedy-photos.blogspot.com/
Description:
"Another photo taken by Jim Altgens, a few seconds after the fatal shot
struck President Kennedy. Secret Service agent Clint Hill has jumped
onto the back bumper of the limousine to aid Jacqueline Kennedy.
The motorcade's "lead car", with Dallas Police Chief Jesse Curry driving,
can be seen just ahead of the limo on Elm Street, brakes applied."
My question is-- what is that black person-like blob in right behind the lead car? What is it or if it is a person, what p[ose are they in? It's just weird.
Thanks for any help.

I'm guessing here, but a look at another angle will show if there was one present.

It's either the flag, or a dwarf wearing a black Snuggie.

(19,315 posts)6. I understand why you wondered...
The first time I glanced at it I thought it was a SS agent running ahead, but on second look it was a distorted posture. Because of the '60s blurry resolution it was less than evident what it was.

I have no clue but that is one strange looking person/think.
