Scientists are now lining up to watch 10 seconds of celluloid for clues that could shed new light on the theory that Lee Harvey Oswald was not the only shooter using a rifle on that fateful day in November 1963.

A government official told us: “Everyone has an opinion about the assassination of JFK, and they don’t always agree. The video has generated a lot of interest and now it has been sold, scientists want to go through it frame by frame to see if there are any clues pointing to the second shooter.’

President Kennedy, Governor of Texas. John Connallyand their wives were riding in a slow open motorcade through Dallas when, at 12:30 p.m., as the car turned into Dealey Plaza, three shots rang out.

Kennedy and Connally were shot. The car sped to the nearest hospital, where the president was pronounced dead and the governor was treated for his injuries.

Oswald was arrested on a weapons charge and shot a few days later.

President Lyndon Johnson appointed a commission chaired by Chief Justice Earl Warren to investigate the assassination.

The The Warren Report concluded that Oswald fired all three shots from a sixth-floor window Texas School Book Depositorywhere he worked

But the matter was far from over.

A man named Abraham Zapruderone of the thousands of people lining the motorcade route that day in Dallas captured the footage on his 8mm home video camera.

At 26 seconds and 486 frames, it would become one of the most scrutinized films in history — and a key piece of evidence for the Warren Commission and subsequent conspiracy theories.

It begins with Dale Carpenter Sr. narrowly missing the limousine carrying the president and first lady Jacqueline Kennedy, but hijacking other vehicles in the motorcade as it drove down Lemmon Avenue toward downtown.

After Kennedy is shot, the film opens with Carpenter rolling as the motorcade rumbles down Interstate 35. “It’s beautiful, in color, and you can feel 80 miles an hour,” said Bobby Livingston, the auction house’s executive vice president. .

The footage from I-35, which lasts about 10 seconds, shows Secret Service Agent Clint Hillwho famously jumped into the back of the limousine when the shots rang out, hovering over the president and Jacqueline Kennedy, whose pink suit can be seen.

“I didn’t know there weren’t going to be any more shots,” Hill said

“I had a vision that, yes, there would probably be more shots when I got up there, which I did.

“Shots rang out during the motorcade’s passage Dealey Plaza in front of the Texas School Textbook Depository, where Lee Harvey Oswald’s killer was later revealed to have taken off from a sniper’s position on the sixth floor.

Mart Carpenter’s grandson, James Gates, said that while it was known in his family that his grandfather had the tape that day, it was not often talked about.

So Gates said that when the film, which had been stored with other family films in a milk crate, was eventually given to him, he wasn’t sure what his grandfather, who died in 1991 at the age of 77, had actually shot.

Projecting it onto his bedroom wall around 2010, footage from I-35 replayed before his eyes. “It was shocking,” he said.
