Look, here is the wind direction for that day. You are grasping at straws.

The exact wind direction that day can be taken directly off of the stain on the ground that the oil vapour from the engine core left. I used that stain to line up the paths that the wing tip vortices would have traveled in this photo (red lines). This path lines up perfectly with Indian Lake and New Baltimore.

Yes you are right, I was wrong, I read the map wrong. Still, too much distance.

Yes, it says its blowing from the NW. Wind speed direction is always shown from the direction it is blowing from.

Wind Speed 8 mph (NW)
Max Wind Speed 15 mph
Max Gust Speed 23 mph
Visibility 10 miles

So thank you for once again, confirming what we have been stating all along. Winds were blowing from the NW towards the SE.

So, again, where are you pulling this "debris traveling 'upwind'" again?

Too much based on.....what? What's the baseline? Whats an acceptable distance? What makes it acceptable? Is there a range?

I guess I could see paper going that far. Too bad there is no heavy stuff to support my argument. I still stand by it, gut feeling and perception of physics. I would be up for an experiment where papers were released in a wooded area to see how far they would blow.

I think the experiment would be pretty easy. Go to the top of any structure where you have a pretty good idea as to the height. For instance, generally speaking one story equals about 10' in height. Drop a piece of paper. As long as the prevailing wind is not blowing into the structure, see how far away it lands. Extrapolate. Imperfect but it would give you an idea.
