What I find also very compelling is somehting I first read in one of Lane's books.
Why connect verbally a firecracker and looking up? The first thought of many of the "Oswald did it" witnesses is that someone was throwing it from a building's open window.
This sound was also described as a motorcycle backfire... again another GROUND LEVEL sound.
Mr. BRENNAN. Well, as the parade came by, I watched it from a distance of Elm and Main Street, as it came on to Houston and turned the corner at Houston and Elm, going down the incline towards the railroad underpass. And after the President had passed my position, I really couldn't say how many feet or how far, a short distance I would say, I heard this crack that I positively thought was a backfire.
Mr. BELIN. You thought it was backfire?
Mr. BRENNAN. Of a motorcycle.
Mr. BELIN. Then what did you observe or hear?
Mr. BRENNAN. Well, then something, just right after this explosion, made me think that it was a firecracker being thrown from the Texas Book Store. And I glanced up. And this man that I saw previous was aiming for his last shot.
Cause looking up to the 6th floor as a result of a motorcycle backfire makes even less sense... so it becomes a firecracker... just cause.
This is Brennen from z140 thru z207.... well past the "first shot firecrakcer/backfire" witnesses described. Do we see him looking up when we KNOW by 207 there were at least 2 such noises?

I fail to see how the first sound from the MC, 70 feet up in the air and at 120-150dB depending on the distance, could be confused for a small firecracker/backfire on the street.
Given the descrfiption of the next sounds supposedly from the same weapon.
I believe there is something significant there Phil... this "first sound" seems to occur just as the limo finishes the turn - (honk honk in a basement garage comes to mind)
Mr. B here seems to confirm ALL of the actions of the car and surrounding personnel that has been suggested by so many others..
Given the image from Betz 2 is of the limo with the Towner family in the way - he should have heard the first noise at the end of that turn.
Suprise suprise... none of the Towners were called.
Betzner affidavit:
I heard at least two shots fired and I saw what looked like a firecracker going
off in the president's car. My assumption for this was because I saw fragments
going up in the air. I also saw a man in either the President's car or the car
behind his and someone down in one of those cars pull out what looked like a
rifle. I also remember seeing what looked like a nickel revolver in someone's
hand in the President's car or somewhere immediately around his car. Then the
President's car sped on under the underpass. Police and a lot of spectators
started running up the hill on the opposite side of the street from me to a
fence of wood. I assumed that was where the shot was fired from at that time. I
kept watching the crowd. Then I came around the monument over to Main Street. I
walked down toward where the President's car had stopped. I saw a Police Officer
and some men in plain clothes. I don't know who they were. These Police Officers
and the men in plain clothes were digging around in the dirt as if they were
looking for a bullet. I walked back around the monument over to Elm Street where
they were digging in the dirt. I went on across the street and up the embankment
to where the fence is located. By this time almost all of the people had left.
