I read your analysis but I wasn't sure what assumptions you were forced to make to conclude that frames were missing. I also got the impression from reading your page that the margin for error in your analysis seemed within a window that could have explained why it appeared frames were missing.
Is there a way to clear up my understanding, and summarize more clearly why the photos you've shown prove that frames are missing?
Thanks!

Well if you take into account a center for line of sight, something just does'nt add up.
In the first couple of frames, if you comapre the right side frames to the left, you can easily ascertain the approximate center of field of view.
Further down, it does'nt appear to match up.
then miraculously at the end, in the plumes, everything matches up again.
I am no expert at any kind of analysis, but just looking at the frame by frame play out, it is apparent that something is amiss.
But I'm not quite sure exactly what it is.
Hopefully Zebra777 can help answer some of these questions.

Unfortunately from this I have no idea at all what you mean. Sorry, I can be quite dense. Center of field of view becomes less ascertainable but then lines back up?

Other factors: the first few frames on the left "jump frames" - note the increments arent 32 like normal, but 64 (00-64-128), so there may be some sync problems at the beginning. As for looking off as the car passes, I take this as the questioning that that it's still visible at all - but these cameras had wide, 90 degree field of view, so I think it's all seen from the left side but pointed right makes sense.
Zebra's identification of the plane is off, in my opinion. In cam 2, he sees nosecone, right wing and right engine. At almost no angle but near-head on would we be ale to see even the tip of the right wing out ahead of the nosecone.
They are set too far back for that. and in cam 2, he's been tricked by the dark tailfin, seeing the same white that was just plane now as smoke behind it, and seeing the plane itself suddenly black.
