Leaf in Apollo 14 liftoff 16mm?

Should I make a response video, or is that the trap they want me to fall into? Does it give them the validation they don't deserve?

Or possibly the S-Band cover, which is in place on top of the MET station here

in a photo taken after the one I posted earlier and is between EVAs.

I'll see if I can get 1080p files of the scans and post the relevant frames here, without interpolation.

Those in my video were sourced from 720p files.

So they're almost literally clutching at straws now... ;)  (I'll get my coat)

Almost certainly the S-Band cover - this in the ALSJ:

[Mitchell - "He must have stumbled or momentarily lost his balance. I don't see that in the TV."]
[Al makes his way around the ladder to the south side of the spacecraft to get the S-Band antenna cover.]

118:15:56 Shepard: How's our buddy the redhead (CMP Stu Roosa) doing, Houston? (Pause)
118:16:08 Mitchell: I don't think they heard you.

[Al re-appears behind the ladder, taking the S-Band cover to the MET.]
--- End quote ---

Here are the two compared:



That cover is then removed for EVA-2 and placed somewhere around the LM. It re-appears in shot when blown by the exhaust.
