About a week ago I tried to post a message to the Aulis board basically aking if they had look at the A11 video where Armstrong jumps up 4 feet or so onto the ladder. My message wasn't posted, but I did get an email saying that when David Percy returned he'd have a look at the video and provide comments.
Today I got another email from Aulis and here's what they had to say (paraphrased).
It looks more like the video shows Armstrong jumping down off the ladder and that there is evidence that this scene was reversed and cut into the rest of the video sequence. Armstrong was instructed to remove the film pack from the Hasselblad camera just about the time he made the jump and nobody on the audio makes any refernce to his jump.
I'll respect BA's rules and not post the actual email here unless Aulis gives me permission, but if anyone wants the complete text of the email, send me a private message and I'll send it to you. I'm in shock that Percy could draw such an outlandish conclusion if he watched the same video I watched, but maybe I'm biased.
