Whether or not the Z film is altered, what portions, and the extent of that alteration, has been widely debated for 40 years or thereabouts. Even if you assume it was partly altered, or there are frames missing, there is still a great deal of valuable information on it. If I had to guess, I would suppose that the unnaturally quick movements of the occupants of the car had more to do with frame deletion than any weird science.
One of the very misleading things about probability is how people calculate the odds of two events happening. The mathematical odds that I would be born with black hair, brown eyes, nearsighted, diabetic, and a (formerly) great first baseman are vanishingly small. But it happened, and it wasn't the result of a conspiracy. Well, I guess the "being born" part had at least two "conspirators."
The fact that an open mic (location: no one knows where) on November 22, 1963 picked up 2 sound pops 4.8 seconds apart doesn't prove that the unknown mic was recording the assassination. There are other sounds on that recording (sirens and stuff) that are more consistent with it being located at the Trade Mart than in Dealy Plaza.
Perhaps the audio recording deserves its own thread.
