The Zapruder Film Mystery

While serving as chief analyst of military records at the Assassination Records Review Board in 1997, Douglas Horne discovered that the Zapruder Film was examined by the CIA's National Photographic Interpretation Center two days after the assassination of President Kennedy.

In this film, Horne interviews legendary NPIC photo interpreter Dino Brugioni about the CIA analysis of the Zapruder film at NPIC in on two different days, by two different NPIC teams.

Dino Brugioni, Horne's chief witness, is a former senior official at the CIA's National Photographic Interpretation Center (NPIC). Brugioni's career spanned 35 years and and included both debunking the "bomber gap" and the "missile gap" before confirming the existence of Soviet MRBMs in Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

After retirement, Brugioni was considered to be the world's foremost imagery intelligence analyst. Brugoni has written five books, each relating in some way to the study of photographic analysis.

Brugioni concluded after viewing the extant Zapruder Film that the Zapruder Film in the archives today is not the film he saw the day after the assassination. He says that he saw and made blow-ups of frames that are not extant in the copy of the film at the National Archives.

Brugioni also appeared very surprised to learn that the CIA had a secont team of NPIC analysts work on the Zapruder film and blow-ups two days after Brugioni's team had. He was never informed of this by his boss, Dino Brugioni, and concludes that perhaps it is because his boss knew that he would never "go along with anything" improper. (Such as modifying a film to conceal something?)

Drawing on Volume 4 of his book "Inside the ARRB", Doug Horne introduces the subject and presents his conclusions.
