all boils down to you and me having to believe in what the person states he/she witnessed. It becomes hard to differentiate the junk from the real
proof ... offering up alternative explanations and attempting to debunk this "evidence" is necessary. Often these explanations (in this case,
firecrackers) get shot down in the course of study as well and helps us get closer to the truth (whatever that may be).

Oh, I didn't take any offense at all in your questions, which were very good one's by the way. I knew someone would be asking them and that's what
held me off from posting that video in this forum -- but I went ahead and did it anyway. When it comes to stuff like this, it's always about just
taking the persons word for it that this or that happened. But posting this video was a learning experience for me. Now when I make more movies, I'm
more aware of those things I need to be extra careful about so I have no regrets about posting that video here....
I appreciate your feedback and thanks for taking the time to do so!
